We spray the finish on your vehicle, coatings on your pills, the paint on your house and texture on your walls. To make the decision over when to specify toughened glass easier (and homes and commercial properties safer), Building Regulations have some pretty specific guidelines.

It is used in an increasing amount of applications where safety glass is required such as doors, side screens and low level glazing. By combining the abrasive power of small, hard particles and big soft particles, the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On will help you every time you're cleaning your windows before applying a glass coating. Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass after its method of production, is a type of safety glass that is five times stronger than annealed and laminated glass of the same size and thickness. Any pane of glass partly or wholly less than 800mm from floor level should be safety glass (generally toughened glass is specified over laminated glass due to cost).Thanks to the Fusso technology of fluoropolymers being used here, it is unsurpassed in terms of durability of up to 12 months and resistance to harsh weather conditions.

A spacer tube is filled with desiccant on two to four sides of the frame (foam spacer is manufactured with a desiccant compound included) and then a secondary sealant is applied to the back of the spacer to seal the unit.When broken, toughened glass breaks into small, relatively harmless pieces of glass which minimize the risk of injury. Local Glass supply double glazed sealed units to contractors and glaziers which are used in doors, windows, conservatories. Toughened glass is required to be marked with BS6206a, this can take the form of the circular BS Kitemark or a simple line. All our sealed units are manufactured and supplied to us by Glass Systems who manufacture over 40,000 units each week.

It then goes through a toughening furnace where the glass is heated up very quickly and then quenched and cooled very quickly. This process of taking the glass up to 750 degrees and then cooling it, changes the molecular structure of the glass and gives it a very high outer tensile strength. Since the Gray brothers founded Graco nearly 100 years ago, we’ve built the company on the idea that great engineering and meticulous manufacturing leads to high-quality, long-lasting products. Glass in doors below a 1500mm threshold should be toughened glass, and any glazing within 300mm of a doorway should also be toughened glass up to a height of 1500mm. If there is condensation inside the glass of your double glazing or it appears misty and foggy, this means that the sealed unit has failed.

The regulations are based on the level of risk that someone (especially, although not exclusively, small children) could fall through a particular pane of glass. It is also possible that the glass is laminated, which will also satisfy the requirement for safety glass, if so it is unlikely to be marked. The largest independent IGU manufacturer n the UK with a number of plants in Wales, Scotland and England, Glass Systems manufacture our laminated, toughened and decorative glass units for Trade, Commercial and New Builds. Whereas laminated glass holds in place when shattered, toughened glass breaks up into hundreds of tiny pieces.

This happens when the gas inside the glazing unit has depleted, which in turn causes the warm air in your room to escape through the window. Toughened or tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. A sealed unit is made with two panes of glass which are separated with a spacer frame made from tube or foam spacer (tube can be bent or cut and corner keyed).
