pilkington profilit toughened glass

All of our Pilkington Profilit toughened glass is heat soaked tested after the toughening process has been undertaken to a maximum length of 7.5m. This allows the Profilit glass to increase its strength and safe breakage performance in order to meet our clients demanding requirements.

• Toughened glass is up to 5 times stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness
• Such glass has greater resistance to sudden changes in the temperatures
• It also allows much greater resistance to impact
• It has better deflection properties
• Greater tolerance of repetitive load variations than ordinary glass before fracture occurs
• It is less likely to break under force
• If breakage does occurs, the glass shatters into many hundreds of tiny pellets which are unlikely to cause any harm
• Toughened glass is able to be manufactured in various tints or patterns.

APPLICATIONS

• Low level glazing
• Shop fronts
• Staircases
• Areas of glass under thermal stress
