Heat Strengthened Glass

Heat Strengthened Glass or HS Glass is a Semi Tempered Glass. The process is similar to that of tempered glass, and differs only in the cooling method. HS is cooled less rapidly than tempered glass.

HS Glass is two times as stronger than annealed glass. However it has lesser optical defects & bending them tempered glass. It is therefore used in applications like windows where you get better optics than tempered glass & better strength them normal glass. It is also used for making laminated glass.

However, we should make a careful assessment of the application before using HS Glass.

Laminated Safety glass :
• As the name suggests laminated glass is made by permanently bonding 2 or more panes of glass using layers of Poly Vinyl Butyl (PVB). Laminated glass is considered to be the best in safety glass. It also gives better acoustic insulation as well as protection from UV radiation as it cuts almost 99% of UV radiation present in the sunlight.

Benefits :
• A) Safety.
• B) Security.
• C) Sound Reduction.
• D) U V control.
