What Is Clear Tempered Glass / Toughened Glass?
Clear tempered glass is heat-treated safety glass made from clear float glass. The glass is heated to near-softening temperature and rapidly air-quenched, forming high surface compression. This significantly enhances strength and improves safety performance.
MIGO GLASS clear tempered safety glass is widely used for architectural façades, doors & windows, shower screens, interior partitions, railings and industrial safety applications.
