Toughened glass is safety glass that has undergone processes of controlled thermal treatment to increase its strength. Also known as 'tempered glass', toughened glass is made from annealed glass heated to around 650⁰C and then rapidly cooled, making it significantly stronger than normal glass. Due to the increased heat treatment and rapid glass cooling, the treatment produces different physical properties. This results in compressive stresses on the surface and improved bending strength of the glass. Before toughening, the glass must be cut to the correct size or pressed to shape.

Toughened glass has high withstanding capacity and is therefore suitable for uses where strength and thermal resistance are crucial.
It is nearly significantly stronger than annealed glass, and thrice as strong as heat strengthened glass.
Even during breakage, its relatively small pieces reduce the chances of injury.
While annealed glass is susceptible to thermal breakage with drastic changes in temperature, toughened glass has higher edge strength to resist thermal breakage.
Toughened glass is ideal in spider and point fixed glazing owing to its high edge strength.
Toughened glass is preferred because of the protection it offers, be it for the elderly or children, creating a safety blanket unlike ordinary glass.
What makes tough glass the go-to choice is the sturdiness it ensures, and its capacity to not break under pressure; even if it does break, which is extremely rare, the pieces are not sharp or jagged that tend to cause serious injury. Toughened glass can also be made acoustic, allowing privacy and peace in the living space.
Functional advantages aside, toughened glass is also an interior designer's delight as it enables one to add to the aesthetic value with its myriad styles.
From protection to privacy, from durability to designing options, Toughened glass has become an integral part of homes.
