Tempered Glass: The Perfect Blend of Safety and Durability
Tempered glass is a modern innovation that combines strength, safety, and aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for various cabinetry applications. While 802 Cabinetry exclusively uses clear glass for its cabinets, you can explore other glass options through your local glass shop to suit your unique design needs.
What is Tempered Glass?
Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, is a type of safety glass treated with heat and rapid cooling to increase its strength. This process makes it four to five times stronger than regular glass. One of its most remarkable features is that if it breaks, it shatters into small, blunt-edged granules instead of sharp shards, reducing injury risks.
