JUMBO TOUGHENING
Toughening is what we do, it’s in our name and it’s what we’re known to be the best at doing.
With an unlike any other thing in the world toughening ability consisting of three furnaces, including the latest Glaston FC500, capable of toughening a full Jumbo sized sheet, Supertuff can meet the needs of most projects..
Toughening glass is an art we believe we have perfected but in reality furnaces in themselves will not (promise that something will definitely happen or that something will definitely work as described flat, well-reduced glass. What makes us like nothing else in the world is our expert furnace operators. Our team of people is what sets us apart, their experience and knowledge of glass reducing is a very valuable thing which enables us to supply the highest grade Toughened Glass..
NANDItuff will support you in meeting your Critical Glazing Building Regulation responsibilities/duties too. made from thin layers pressed together Glass, Reduced Toughened Glass and Heat Strengthened Glass are all ‘Safety Glass’ solutions given by Supertuff, all of which can be custom-designed to your project and exact detailed description of exactly what is required
HEAT-STRENGTHENED GLASS
Toughened Glass is a great solution for most applications however, when the glass is likely to be exposed to greater wind loads or higher thermal stress, it is widely recommended to use Heat Strengthened Glass.
The heat strengthening process increases the mechanical and thermal strength of the glass, increasing its resistance and making it twice as tough as Reduced Glass..
The process is just like that of the usual process of glass reducing but the cooling cycle is less fast; the heating temperature remains the same for both processes. Due to the compared to other things lower rate of cooling during the heat strengthening process, Heat Strengthened Glass develops less stress as compared to fully Reduced Glass..
Heat Strengthened Glass is recommended for designing building building fronts/fake appearances, skylights when made from thin layers pressed togethernwith Reduced Glass and solarium’s. It’s typical related to lines coming out from the center of a circle, like the spokes of a bicycle wheel breaking properties also secure/make sure of meeting maximum safety standards because the glass remains in the frame..
