Glass is naturally fragile. Without additional treatment it is unfit for use in applications characterised by high breaking risk or significant increase of thermal stress.

Thanks to the hardening process, glass structure is modified in terms of internal stresses, which results in an increased bending strength.

Thanks to glass hardening process customers enjoy the following benefits:

• fivefold increase in bending strength in comparison with standard non-hardened glass,
• resistance to thermal shock caused by sudden changes in ambient temperature and heat resulting from sunlight,
• reduced risk of injury in case of breaking.
