COMMON TOUGHENED GLASS PROBLEMS WE CAN REPAIR:

Toughened glass, otherwise known as safety glass or tempered glass, offers a tougher structure to normal glass so it’s more difficult to break and when it does break, it shatters into tiny pieces, rather than large shards which could cause significant damage.
Toughened glass sometimes shatters, seemingly without reason. The most common reasons to replace or install toughened glass is:

• Microscopic internal defects, such as nickel sulphide inclusions can cause glass to shatter
• Tiny imperfections during installation, such as chipped edges can develop into large breaks
• Window frame is too tight, not allowing glass to expand and contract
• Burglary or break-in damage
• Glass has shattered
• Faulty manufacturing or installation
• Damaged glass caused by stones flicked from lawnmowers
• General wear & tear
• Install for windows in areas you could trip, as it’s much safer

Frequently asked questions

This type of glass adds additional strength to your windows. To gain entry, a burglar would have to strike the glass repeatedly in the same spot in order to make a small opening. Most burglars are reluctant to create this type of noise for fear of being detected.

Annealed Glass      Less expensive, Good visibility
Laminated Glass    Strong material, shatter-resistant glass
Low-E Glass          Energy-efficient, thermal coating that lasts 10 to 15 years
Tinted Glass          Promotes greater privacy, heat transfer resistant

Laminated glass products make float glass suitable for today's demanding architectural applications such as: noise reduction, hurricane impact-resistance, blast mitigation, forced entry, protection from broken glass – or a combination of these.

Float glass: This is the most budget-friendly and has no natural tint. It is a single piece of glass that breaks into sharp shards when hit with force. Float glass can, however, undergo a lot of chemical processes to be strengthened. It can be used in single-pane and even double-pane windows once it's been enhanced.

The cost factor is a significant consideration, as it tends to be more expensive than standard glass options.

As the most common type of affordable glass, float glass will often be used for low-cost windows and smaller display cabinet-style doors, as well as being the base material for almost every other application.
