Heat-Strengthened Glass
Oldcastle Glass®' heat-strengthened glass is
approximately twice as strong as annealed glass
of similar thickness and configuration. Heat-strengthened
glass generally fractures in a manner
similar to annealed glass and tends to remain in the
opening when broken. It is intended for general
glazing where additional strength and/or resistance
to mechanical and/or thermal stress are desired.
Heat-Strengthened glass is NOT a safety glazing
product and therefore should not be used where
safety glazing is required.
