Toughened Glass

Applications Total Vision Systems

Toughened Glass enables the designer to achieve uninterrupted vision in applications where strength and safety are paramount. Toughened Glass enables clean unframed edge details.
Pilkington Armourfloat® Toughened Glass is a grade A safety glass, manufactured by heating and then rapidly cooling flat glass. As a result, balancing compressive and tensile stresses are set up in the glass. This gives Toughened Glass 4 to 5 times more strength than ordinary glass of the same thickness and much greater resistance to impact. In the unlikely event of breakage, toughened glass breaks into small granules.




Shopfronts and entrances

Frameless glass doors and assemblies offer exciting opportunities to maximise retail exposure or gain unobstructed views. There is a range of hardware available to complement the installation.



Balustrades

Toughened Glass has the strength to achieve a transparent balustrade without apparent support.




Furniture

Toughened Glass satisfies the requirement of clean edges with the peace of mind assured by Grade A safety glass.




Overhead Glazing

Toughened Glass gives the designer the ability to achieve large clear spans, with the assurance of a Grade A safety glass. The glass can also be laminated to comply with building code requirements.
