Tempered glass is a type of glass that, once manufactured, is placed back in the oven to temper it according to its intended performance.
To achieve a high-quality product, it undergoes several heating and cooling phases. This process results in a hardness ten times greater than its initial state.
The characteristics of this type of glass are that when it breaks, it fragments into small, non-sharp pieces, increasing its safety. In the automotive industry, tempered glass is commonly used for windows and side glazing, although it is sometimes also used in windshields, which are generally made with laminated glass.
The choice between one type of glass or another depends on the specific needs, as both laminated and tempered glass offer significant advantages.
