Tempered glass (also known as safety glass/toughened glass) is a specially treated type of glass known for its exceptional strength and safety features. It’s created through a process of controlled heating and rapid cooling, which imparts unique qualities that make it highly sought after for a variety of applications.
One of the primary advantages of tempered glass is its safety features. When it breaks, it shatters into small, pebble-like pieces rather than sharp, dangerous shards. This property significantly reduces the risk of injury in the event of breakage, making it an ideal choice for environments where safety is paramount.
Tempered glass is several times stronger than regular glass of the same thickness. It can withstand higher levels of external force and impact without breaking, making it a durable and long-lasting option for various applications.
Tempered glass is more resistant to scratches, abrasions, and other forms of damage compared to regular glass. This makes it an excellent choice for products and environments that experience wear and tear.
Tempered glass has a high resistance to thermal stress, which means it can handle extreme temperature changes without cracking or breaking. This property is particularly beneficial in applications where temperature variations are common, such as in ovens and stovetops.
Tempered glass maintains excellent optical clarity and transparency, allowing maximum natural light to pass through. This quality enhances the aesthetic appeal of spaces and products where it is used.
At Apex Tempered Glass, we understand that the ideal thickness of tempered glass varies depending on its intended use. That’s why we offer a diverse range of glass thickness options to cater to your specific needs and applications.

Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, is a type of safety glass that’s created through a process called glass tempering. During tempering, the glass is heated to high temperatures and then rapidly cooled. This rapid cooling, also known as quenching, creates internal stresses within the glass, making it much stronger and shatter-resistant compared to regular glass.
The advantages of using tempered glass over regular glass include its enhanced strength and safety features. Tempered glass is significantly stronger and less likely to break upon impact. If it does break, it shatters into small, rounded pieces rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, tempered glass is more resistant to thermal stress and can withstand higher temperatures, making it suitable for various applications.
Tempered glass is not completely shatterproof, but it is shatter-resistant. While it is significantly stronger and safer than regular glass, it can still break under extreme force or impact. However, when it does break, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces which minimizes the risk of injury.
Once tempered glass is tempered, it cannot be cut or drilled without shattering. Any required shaping or hole drilling must be done prior to the tempering process. Once tempered, the glass cannot be altered without breaking it.
Tempered glass is commonly used in residential settings for applications such as shower doors, glass doors and windows, glass tabletops, glass railings, and glass shelves. It’s also used for oven and fireplace doors, as well as safety glass in some furniture.
Yes, tempered glass is suitable for commercial and industrial applications. It’s commonly used in storefronts, glass partitions, office dividers, glass facades, and in the automotive industry for side and rear windows. It’s also used in appliances, such as refrigerators and microwave oven doors, due to its safety and durability properties.
