1. Strength and Durability
Due to the tempering process, float tempered glass is significantly stronger than standard glass. It can withstand higher stress levels, both mechanical and thermal, without breaking.
2. Safety
When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, rounded pieces instead of sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. This safety feature is essential for high-risk areas such as doors, windows, and facades.
3. Thermal Resistance
It can withstand temperature variations of up to 300–400°C, making it suitable for environments exposed to extreme temperature changes.
4. Clarity and Quality
Manufactured through the float glass process, it maintains high optical clarity and a smooth, distortion-free surface, making it suitable for architectural and aesthetic applications.
5. Versatility
Float tempered glass is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, electronics, and furniture.
6. Certificates
Suitable for use as a safety glass as defined by consumer product safety association 16CFR 1201, ansiz 97.1 1984 and BS6262.
Conforms to CCC, AS/NZS2208-1996, EN12150-1, and ASTM C1048. All work done on glass (beveling, cutting, bending, etc) must be done before tempering.
Building Exteriors (Curtain Walls and Facades): Due to its strength, impact resistance, and clarity, float tempered glass is commonly used in building facades, curtain walls, and cladding systems. It enhances both the structural stability and visual appeal of a building.
Windows and Doors: Ideal for large windows and glass doors in residential and commercial buildings, especially where safety and security are priorities.
Skylights and Roof Glazing: Its durability and thermal resistance make float tempered glass a great choice for skylights, allowing natural light while withstanding temperature fluctuations.
Balconies and Railings: Used in balcony glass panels, stair railings, and pool fences where clear sightlines are desirable but safety is paramount.
Storefronts and Shop Windows: Float tempered glass is used in retail facades and storefronts because it offers high transparency and durability against potential impacts, theft attempts, and weather exposure.
Showcases and Display Cases: In museums, galleries, and retail stores, tempered glass is used for display cases, providing excellent visibility and a high degree of protection for items on display.
Interior Partitions and Office Dividers: Float tempered glass creates modern, open office layouts that maintain soundproofing and privacy without compromising visual connectivity.
Tabletops and Desks: Tempered glass is frequently used for tabletops in dining and office settings. It’s resistant to scratches, impacts, and can support heavy items, making it durable for long-term use.
Shelving and Display Units: Tempered glass shelves are strong enough to hold heavy objects, and their transparency complements contemporary design aesthetics.
Bathroom Applications (Shower Doors and Partitions): Resistant to moisture and temperature changes, tempered glass is ideal for shower enclosures, partitions, and other bathroom applications where safety and durability are essential.
Laboratory and Medical Equipment: In laboratories and medical environments, tempered glass is used for specialized equipment and safety partitions due to its chemical resistance and strength.
Aquariums and Zoo Enclosures: Thick layers of tempered glass are often used in aquariums and animal enclosures where both transparency and strength are needed to contain large volumes of water or offer safety in animal environments.
Sports Arenas and Gymnasiums: Used in areas such as Padel court, tempered glass provides a clear view for spectators while withstanding high-impact forces.
Art and Sculpture Installations: Artists and designers use tempered glass in sculptures and installations due to its safety, clarity, and the unique effects it can create with light and space.
Surface Treatments:
Edge Treatment: Flat edge, rounded edge, or beveled edge
Drilling: Available for mounting or installation purposes
Sandblasting: Can be sandblasted for decorative finishes
Brushed Finish: Available for a matte surface texture
Coatings: UV protection, anti-reflective, or other coatings available upon request
Packaging: used wooden boxes or cases, the cases should be easy loading, unloading and transportation. Each case needs to be packed with stuff of the same thickness and size.
Q: The difference between float glass and ordinary tempered glass?
A:
Feature | Float Tempered Glass | Regular Tempered Glass |
Manufacturing Process | Float process +tempering | Tempering only |
Flatness | Very high,minimal distortion | May have minor distortions |
Optical Clarity | High clarity,minimal imperfections | Good clarity,but may have slight imperfections |
Thickness &Size | Available in larger sheets with uniform | Available in a range of sizes |
Options | thickness | |
Strength | High,due to tempering | High,due to tempering |
Applications | Facades,skylights,high-clarity windows | Doors,side windows,shower doors |
Cost | Higher,premium applications requiring clarity and uniformity | More affordable,for general safety applications |
