Glass tempering

Tempering makes the glass resistant to temperature swings, as stress and compression occur. If to compare the tempered glass with glass after burning, the tempered glass is sturdier several times more. It is safe when it is broken and cannot bring damages to a human. You can buy the tempered glass of any form or size – it is possible to buy door glass or a partition, or glass as a part of the furniture.

Such glass is used in the construction increasingly more, over time displacing other similar materials. Facades, roofs, windows – more and more elements are created from tempered glass. Even supporting structures, poles, bridges, and beams are made of it. It has found active application in the automobile industry. Speaking in more detail about the technology, it is simple and understandable: the glass is quickly cooled using special quenching environments (most often, air) and blowing grates to change the cooling process from natural convection to the forced one.
