How is toughened glass created?

Toughened glass undergoes a heating and rapid cooling process, and unlike your regular cut of glass, it cannot be cut once it has been toughened. When creating sheets of toughened glass cut to size, the cutting must be carried out prior to the toughening process. This makes it essential to have the exact dimensions and designs prepared before ordering your piece of toughened glass Bristol, as the glass cannot be altered once toughened.

After our team of expert glaziers has cut the glass, it is ready to undergo the ‘tempering’ process. Toughening your standard piece of glass begins with each sheet being loaded into a heated furnace. The glass is then heated to extreme temperatures of up to 650ºC – at which point the glass goes into a plastic-like state.

After the heating process is over, each piece of toughened glass is quickly cooled using a range of high-pressure air nozzles. By rapidly cooling the sheets of glass, the outer layers become highly compressed, whilst the internal layers remain in tension. This creates a strong bond between the two layers and allows the glass to perform under much greater stress and higher impacts.
