FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS

 > SAFETY

> STRONGER – Up to 500% stronger than annealed glass and therefore is more resistant to thermal breakage and can withstand greater wind-loads. Can be used within a temperature range of minus 70oC to plus 250oC (surface temperature should not exceed 250oC if other surface is lower than 0°C

> FRAMELESS – Allows reduction of framing members to produce a cleaner frameless look;

> EASE OF HANDLING – Standard arrised edge makes handling easier;

> MATCHING – Ease of matching tinted toughened Safety Grade A glass and tinted annealed glass;

> THICKNESSES – Available 5–19mm

> APPLICATIONS – In the event of breakage, toughened glass will fragment into small relatively harmless pieces. However, depending on the method of framing and means of breakage, the fragments may also clump and fall out into larger more potentially hazardous pieces. In addition because the glass can fall out of the frame, this would leave no barrier to prevent persons or objects falling through the opening. Toughened glass is used mostly in doors, side and low lites, frameless entries, low level balustrading and shower enclosures

MAXIMUM SIZE

The Yanyi Glass toughening furnace can produce sizes up to 6000mm x 2400mm.

MINIMUM SIZE

The smallest panel of glass that can be toughened must equal 300mm in the diagonal measurement. The minimum size for panels with Flat Ground/Polish (straight edges) will be 300mm x 800mm
