Glass and Glazing Toughened Safety glass is produced by applying a special treatment to ordinary float glass after it has been cut to specified size. The treatment involves heating the glass so that it begins to soften (about 620 degrees C) and then rapidly cooling it. This produces a glass which, if broken, breaks into small pieces without sharp edges. The treatment does increase the surface tension of the glass which can cause it to 'explode' if broken; this is more a dramatic effect than hazardous.

   Features
Tempered glass is about four times stronger than regular glass. It effectively withstands bending and rapid temperature change Harmless because it breaks into small pieces without sharp edges.

   Applications
It is recommended to use toughened glass in places where special durability and safety is required:schools,hospitals, children's day-care centers, sport premises and other public rooms.

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.

Features
Double strength because its wind pressure resistance is at least twice that of annealed float glass of the same thickness, HS-LEX is recommended for locations subject to high wind pressure.

Thermal cracking resistance is also twice that of annealed float glass. For all locations where thermal cracking is anticipated, heat strengthening processing can be used to add thermal cracking resistance.

Applications
Locations where resistance to high wind pressure are required.
Spandrels in locations where thermal cracking is anticipated.
Locations subject to high wind pressure, such as the upper stories and corners of buildings.

Insulated Glass Unit fabricated from two or more glass sheets assembled through one or more airspace fulfilled with air or inert gas separated by a metallic spacer a desiccant is incorporated the whole IG unit has a double sealing. Insulating glass is a multi-glass combination consisting of two or more panes enclosing a hermetically-sealed air space.

Features
Reduce Thermal Loss:
It offers many advantages: lower energy consumption, perfect transparency by reducing the incidence of condensation on the warm air side and the possibility of using larger glazed areas without increasing energy consumption
Reduce Sound:
Insulated glass used as window reduces sound from outside atmosphere

Applications
Locations where resistance to temperature loss required.
Locations where sound reduction is required.

Laminated Glass is a multifunctional glazing material that can be used in a variety of applications.It is manufactured by permanently bonding two or more layers of glass with layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, under heat and pressure, to create a single construction.

It can be applied to doors, windows, glass curtain wall, glass roof of buildings and windshields of automobiles,ships,and places needing bullet or blast resistance
Laminated Glass when breaks up upon impact, its pieces cannot spatter out causing injuries. For this reason it is also named "laminated safety glass".

   Applications
Locations like Jewelry Stores, Banks, Airports, Schools, Hospitals, Hotels, Interior Partitions, Office Buildings, Locations where Safety Glazing Applications required.
