Toughened Glass: Technical Specifications

Our “state of the art” toughening plant produces
high quality glass with minimum distortion and bow.
As well as toughened glass we also offer heat
strengthened glass up to 10mm thick.
Coated Glass
By adopting the latest technology we are able to
process the new generation of high performance
soft coated low emissivity insulating glasses and
toughenable solar control coated glass variants.
Glass Machining Heat Soak Testing
The facility is all encompassing. We are able to When required toughened glass can be heat soak
machine glass to complex shapes, provide top tested to either DIN 18516 Part 4 or EN 14179.
quality edge finishes, rout and drill glass.
Screen Printing
Our screen printing line is among the largest in the
glass industry, enabling us to provide screen printed
glass for the architectural and specialised vehicle
markets. Virtually any design or RAL colour can be
reproduced in ceramic ink which is fixed in and
fused to the surface of toughened or heat
strengthened glass.
Toughened Glass - Key Criteria
Characteristics Specification
Maximum glass size: 3600mm x 2100mm
Minimum glass size: 250mm x 100mm
Glass thickness range: 4mm....19mm
Heat strengthening thickness range: 4mm....10mm
Control of flatness or overall bow: 4mm thick - 3mm per 1000mm
5mm thick - 2mm per 1000mm
6mm to 19mm thick - 1.5mm per 1000mm
Control of roller wave distortion: 4mm thick maximum 0.08mm
5mm - 19mm thick. less than 0.08mm
Holes and cut-outs - In general any glass with holes should have a width at least 8 times the thickness of the glass
Position of holes: The distance between the glass edge and the hole should be at least twice the glass thickness.
When two or more holes are required in a piece of glass then the distance between the holes should be
at least half the hole diameter or twice the glass thickness.
Hole diameters: The minimum diameter of a hole must be 5mm for glass thickness up to and including 5mm and for
thicker glasses, at least the thickness of the glass being drilled.
