Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass, undergoes controlled thermal processes that enhance its strength compared to regular glass. When shattered, toughened glass breaks into small fragments rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. Due to its strength and safety features, toughened glass is commonly used for door panels, front door panels, low-level glass panels, and more. It’s important to note that toughened glass must be cut to size before the toughening process, as attempting to cut or alter toughened glass afterwards will cause it to shatter. At Ashbourne Glass, we provide toughened glass in various thicknesses and types, and each piece is manufactured to order.
