How to Remove Tempered Glass
Don’t settle for a broken view. Whether it’s a shower door or any other type of tempered glass, cracks must be dealt with safely and soon.
Tempered glass is commonly used for shower doors, glass tabletops, glass shelves, car side windows, back glasses, and more. It is a type of safety glass that is made by quickly heating and cooling a piece of annealed glass, or standard glass, uniformly.
Tempered glass is designed to protect you from injury in that when it breaks, it shatters into dull cubes as opposed to shards. But if it gets cracked, such as in an accident, it’s important to safely remove tempered glass to prevent harm.
