Step 01
Based on application requirements, a glass material is chosen
2
Step 02
The glass travels through a high-heat tempering oven
3
Step 03
After it has been sufficiently heated, the glass is then quenched—or cooled down
4
This is where tempered glass gets its strength—this dramatic temperature shock causes the surface and edges to become compressed, and the inner layer to be in tension, thus strengthening the material
5
Tempered glass breaks into smaller, duller pieces than annealed glass, making it the safer choice
