Fully Tempered Glass
Oldcastle Glass®' fully tempered glass is
approximately four times stronger than annealed
glass of the same thickness and configuration.
When it is broken, tempered glass fractures into
small fragments that reduce the probability of
serious injury as compared to annealed glass.
Tempered glass meets all safety glazing standards
including the federal safety glazing standard,
CPSC 16 CFR 1201. Because tempered glass
fractures into many small pieces, it tends to
vacate the opening, when broken, more than
heat-strengthened and annealed glass does.
