WHAT IS TUFFEN GLASS?
www.rabenglass.com
Tuffen glass is a type that you’ll find
throughout many residential and
commercial buildings.
Since the panes are designed to maintain
the same visual clarity as regular glass,
you might not even notice the difference.
There are some key reasons why your
glass installer may recommend this type.
Most of them come down to strength
and durability.
What Makes
Tuffen Glass
Different?
Tuffen glass is often referred
to as toughened.
The panes start out as regular annealed
glass, but they then undergo a special
treatment process.
The glass is heated to temperatures
above 1100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then, it is cooled rapidly.
This process creates a higher level
of center tension that makes it about
6 times stronger than regular versions
of the material.
Where Can You
Use Toughened
Glass?
You can use toughened panes in any
part of a building that you would use
regular glass.
The strength that this material offers
also expands your options for adding
glass installations.
These are just a few of the most
common places where we install this
type of material.
Shower Enclosures
Those gorgeous shower enclosures you
see in home design articles are possible
in any home thanks to toughened glass.
Since the possibility of slipping and
falling in a wet area is higher, you’ll
want to use stronger panes in the
shower enclosure.
Toughened glass can be used with both
framed and frameless shower enclosures
so that you can choose from your
preferred design.
Residential
and Commercial
Windows
and Doors
Both homes and business buildings
benefit from having translucent doors
and windows that allow for more sunlight
to come inside.
Using regular glass can sometimes pose
a problem when the doors and windows
are likely to be hit.
Toughened panes are best for any doors
and windows that are placed low enough
to the floor that they could break
if someone falls against them.
If one of the panes does break,
the toughened surface causes it to break
into sm
