What Is Heat-Treated Glass?
US Glass Tempering produces heat-treated glass that delivers enhanced strength, safety, and thermal resistance. The process involves heating precisely cut glass to approximately 1,150°F, then rapidly cooling it using high-pressure air — creating surface compression and inner tension that make the glass significantly stronger.
This treatment improves durability, increases resistance to impact and temperature change, and defines controlled breakage patterns for safety applications.
