Tempered glass panels are easy to install and are stronger than normal glass, able to withstand temperatures up to 295 Celsius. There are two types of tempered glass: heat treated and chemically treated. Heat treated glass is strengthened through a process of rapid cooling after heating to 680 degrees, while chemically treated glass is heated and dissolved in potassium salts at 380 degrees. Tempered glass has many uses including as soundproof panels, in fire stations, for solar panels, and wherever non-fragile glass is required for safety. It can last a lifetime with proper care and investment in higher quality brands is recommended given its long-term value.

1. The tempered glass panels are very easy to install. Before you buy tempered glass
panels you need to know that these glasses are low emissivity glasses and these are
special types of glasses, which takes the reflection of the infrared radiation energy.
There are two different types of tempered glass.
The Feature of Tempered Glass
These tempered glass panels are two
times stronger than the normal types
of glasses. These glasses are powerful
and can hold in temperature as high
as 295 Celsius. The cheap designer
architectural glasses can darken over
time, but this glass will uphold its
position for ages. The glassblowing
technology is used in these glasses
that were used in ancient times.
These glasses were used in churches
in ancient times and ironically, they
are still standing in the same position,
it was fitted hundreds of years ago.
These tempered glasses are used in
modern times for supporting the solar
panel. Manufactures generally gives a
time-frame of how long this glass can be used. But to be general, you can use these
glasses for a lifetime. There are many brands of tempered glasses. Many come in
cheaper brands, but as this is a one-time investment of a lifetime, you might want to
spend a few more to get the best out of these glasses. These glasses are also used by
fire departments when non-fragile glasses are used.
There are many uses of tempered glass panels. These glasses can be sound-proof. So
they are used mostly in telephone booths, police stations and radio stations. As I have
discussed earlier, there are two types of tempered Glass. They are:
Heat Treated
Chemically Treated Glass

2. These glasses are heated to 680 degrees and then are taken to the cooling process
immediately. When these glasses are exposed to cold air, the outer surface of the
glasses gets frozen and the inner layer of the glasses still stays hot liquid. This procedure
makes the glasses stronger compared to the normal glasses. So, if the glasses break
down, they will break into small blunt pieces which will have no potenti to cause
physical harm to anyone nearby.
Chemically Treated glasses are heated and dissolved in potassium salts in a heat of
about 380 degrees Celsius. These glasses are stronger that the heat treated glasses and
are used where protection is needed. Like security glasses, etc.
Heat-treated tempered glasses are used in places where there are more crowd, as it
requires more monitoring and these glasses are safer to use. These are also used for
shower doors, sliding doors, etc. Chemically tempered glasses have more visibility
power and are used in military areas more often. Mostly because of its strength and
uninterrupted visibility.
