Whether you're working on a new development or replacing existing glazing, Tough Glass offers a comprehensive range of processed glass products to suit a wide variety of commercial applications. Our experienced sales team can help you understand the glass products we process, discuss available processing options, and explain any processing limitations.

Glass Options for Commercial Windows & Doors

Toughened glass is one of the most commonly specified products for commercial windows and doors. It offers increased strength compared to standard annealed glass and, when broken, fractures into small pieces to reduce the risk of injury. It is processed to AS/NZS 2208 and is suitable for many safety glazing applications.

Laminated glass consists of two or more panes bonded together with a durable interlayer. It improves safety by helping keep broken glass in place and can also provide additional security, UV protection and noise reduction depending on the glass makeup.

Performance glass is designed to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of commercial buildings by reducing solar heat gain and improving thermal performance. Various options are available depending on your project's requirements.

Available in both toughened and laminated configurations, tinted glass helps reduce glare and solar heat while adding a contemporary architectural finish.

Acoustic laminated glass is designed to reduce the transmission of external noise, making it suitable for offices, education facilities, hotels, healthcare buildings and developments located near busy roads or transport corridors.

Our custom laminated glass range provides extensive flexibility for projects with unique performance or design requirements. Multiple interlayers can be combined to achieve specific colours, safety performance, acoustic properties or decorative finishes. Where required, custom laminated glass can also be processed using heat-strengthened glass rather than toughened glass. Heat-strengthened laminated glass is commonly specified for certain commercial applications where increased strength, thermal stress resistance or specific performance characteristics are required. Final glass make-up should always be confirmed by the project's engineer, architect or qualified glazing professional.

Heat soaking is an additional process carried out after glass has been toughened. It is designed to reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage caused by nickel sulphide inclusions by subjecting the glass to a controlled heat soak cycle before installation. If a panel contains a critical nickel sulphide inclusion, it is more likely to break during the heat soak process rather than after installation. As a result, heat-soaked glass is commonly specified for many commercial applications where reducing the risk of in-service breakage is important. If you're unsure whether heat-soaked glass is suitable for your project, our team can explain the process and discuss the available options.

Replacing Existing Commercial Glass

Replacing a damaged commercial glass panel can be challenging, particularly where custom glass make-ups or specialised coatings were originally specified.

If possible, locate the building's glazing schedule, construction drawings or glass certification, as these often contain the original glass specification. Alternatively, the original glazing contractor may have records of the glass supplied.

Where this information isn't available, a qualified glazier can assess the existing installation and recommend a suitable compliant replacement. If Tough Glass supplied the original glass, we may also be able to assist with identifying the original glass makeup.
