Security Film

Tempered safety glass is made by heading regular (or annealed) glass uniformly and cooling rapidly by blowing air consistently onto both surfaces simultaneously, a process known as air quenching. This glass can be from 1/8" to 3/4" thick and is about four times stronger than a glass of the same size and width. The tensile strength of this glass makes it able to resist the forces of heat, wind, and impact on the glass. Tempered safety glass qualifies as a safety glazing material because if it does break, it does so in small cubes, reducing the likelihood of serious injury. Another added benefit is that this glass cannot be cut, drilled, or edged.

If you need a repair or replacement on your windows or doors, you can tell if the glass is tempered by a permanent label in the corner of the window.

Laminated safety glass is made from two or more panes of annealed glass joined together by a layer of plastic. By adding multiple layers of glass together, it strengthens the glass further. It can be used for safety applications and other applications such as sound reduction, sloped glazing, and burglar resistance. The lamination process can be performed on clear, tinted, reflective, heat-strengthened, or tempered glass.

Glass Doctor of Fort Worth Metroplex strives to provide you with top safety options for your business or home. That is why we have a bullet-resistant glass. This glass is made of several layers of laminate and glass, and in between, the glass is a polycarbonate material that absorbs a bullet's energy. So the thicker the glass, the higher impact the glass can withstand.
