Tempered Glass Shelf and Safety

Tempered glass is a favored choice in the range of safety glasses and is used for intentions where the use of standard glass could create risks. Tempered glass is 4 x stronger than the latter and does not shatter to pieces even if it breaks under extreme circumstances. The broken pieces are usually rounded cut ups, with no sharp shards and hence pose a reduced risk of injury. Manufactured under stringent quality control through rapid heating and cooling, tempered glass is much, much harder than its normal counterpart.

 

Tempered glass, due to its durable properties, is also often referred to as strengthened or toughened glass. A glass shelf made of tempered glass therefore means safety and durability.
