Toughened glass, also known as safety glass or tempered glass, is a highly durable and impact-resistant material. It starts as annealed glass, which is heated and rapidly cooled in a controlled process. This toughening process makes the glass five times stronger than standard annealed glass of the same thickness, significantly reducing the risk of cracking.
One of the key safety features of toughened glass is that, when damaged, it shatters into small, harmless pieces, minimizing the risk of serious injury. However, it’s important to be cautious during cleanup, as the shattered glass can travel several meters in all directions.
Toughened glass is ideal for applications that require structural strength and safety, such as elevated windows, large feature windows, and areas where there’s a high risk of impact. Like laminated glass, it is particularly suitable for spaces in the home prone to injury from human impact, such as bathrooms, splashbacks, doors, and full-length windows.

Toughened glass offers exceptional durability and safety, but it’s important to note that it cannot be reused or re-cut once it has been installed. This is a critical factor to consider if you plan on making modifications to the glass, such as adding a pet door in the future.
To avoid this limitation, one option is to have the pet door installed before the glass undergoes the toughening process. This ensures that the glass is cut to the desired size and shape while still maintaining its strength and integrity.
When planning your glass installations, it’s essential to account for any potential changes or additions to the glass in advance to avoid costly replacements or modifications later on.
Strength, Thermal Resistance, and Safety
Toughened glass is ideal when strength, thermal resistance, and safety are critical considerations. It is designed to withstand impact and temperature changes, making it a highly durable choice for various applications.
Variety of Options
Toughened glass can be customized in different finishes, including clear, tinted, bronze, and energy-efficient (Low E) glass. It is available in a range of thicknesses, from 2mm to 19mm, and undergoes the toughening process for enhanced strength and safety.
Safety – Shatters into Small Pieces
One of the key benefits of toughened glass is its safety feature: if broken, it shatters into small, harmless pieces instead of dangerous shards. This makes it safer, particularly in areas where the risk of impact is higher.
Suitable for Large Openings
Toughened glass is well-suited for use in large openings, such as windows and doors, where strength and safety are paramount. It provides a secure, durable solution for these applications, ensuring both structural integrity and visual appeal.
Toughened glass is an excellent choice when looking for durability, safety, and energy efficiency across various applications.
Safety glass is a product that is designed to cause minimal injury when it breaks, compared to regular annealed glass. The two most commonly used safety glass products are laminated glass and toughened/tempered glass. Both products have very different and distinct features that provide various levels of safety and security.
Yes, however the entire panel of glass will usually need to be replaced. We recommend replacing these panels with toughened glass as the hole required for the pet door makes the glass weak. Toughened glass alleviates this issue.
Laminated glass is two pieces of glass laminated together with an interlayer. When it breaks, it cracks but holds together, like a windscreen. Toughened glass is just one panel, but has undergone a process to make it 4-5 times stronger than normal glass. When it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small pieces the size of a fingernail.
In the case of glass emergencies, we will inspect the type of glass that has been damaged. In most cases, regular glass can be replaced within 24 hours, however, toughened glass products may take 7-10 days, in which case a temporary timber covering will be installed in place of the glass (if required) to protect occupants from potential break-ins and exposure to the elements.
