Toughened Glass Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need toughened glass?
Toughened glass, also known as safety glass or tempered glass, is much stronger than float glass and considered Grade A safety glass. Float glass when broken can break into large, dangerous, sharp shards. We recommend opting for toughened glass in areas where safety is a top priority, such as doors, sidelites, bathroom windows, balustrades and pool fencing.
Can toughened glass be drilled and cut?
In most cases, you shouldn’t attempt to cut or drill holes into toughened glass; doing so will likely cause it to shatter. If you need to drill holes in your glass showers, pool fencing or balustrading, you should request the drilling before the glass is tempered. Contact our experts if you need customised tempered glass.
How strong is toughened glass?
Toughened glass can be up to five times stronger than standard glass, making it a suitable material to use in doors, shower screens, pool fencing and balustrades. To achieve such strength, toughened glass is usually heated to about 600°C before being cooled quickly.
How to clean toughened glass?
When it comes to cleaning toughened glass, remove any dirt or debris from the glass as soon as it is visible. When possible avoid cleaning glass in direct sunlight.
- Flood the surface with water or cleaning solutions to remove loose dust and grit.
- For best results, clean the glass beginning at the top and working downwards.
- Wipe with a clean wet cloth, free of grit, (as gritty dirt particles picked up by the cloth could scratch the glass) until glass is visibly clean.
- Rinse with clean water.
- Dry immediately with a clean lint-free cloth or good clean squeegee.
- Do not allow metal squeegee holders to touch the glass surface.
- Do not use any additives that contain hydrofluoric acid, or have the possibility of forming hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is a highly corrosive liquid and is a contact poison which will affect toughened glass fixtures.
Can toughened glass break?
Toughened glass can withstand high temperatures and heavy impacts, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to break. Toughened glass must be handled with care prior to installation to prevent the glass from breaking. When toughened glass breaks, it will shatter into smaller granular pieces that are less likely to cause injury. A range of factors could be involved if toughened glass spontaneously breaks including but not limited to; edge or corner damage, contact with fittings or fixtures, contact with concrete or other building materials and in some cases NiS (Nickel Sulphide) inclusions.

May I just say that your staff at Tough Glass are providing us with excellent service. We have never in all the years experienced such a service. I rang on Wednesday to request a couple of urgent panels for which we collected this morning. That truly is amazing!!
Everybody should use Tough Glass and I would never use anyone else regardless of pricing like some do. I don’t think we have ever received a bad piece of glass from Tough Glass either. It’s a credit to you and your staff.
