Product Description

When you need a strong yet transparent material, clear toughened glass is the ideal choice.

Our clear toughened glass offers a high breaking point, therefore withstanding high temperatures and pressures. If the breaking point is reached, the tempered glass will consequently shatter into smaller, safer pieces with blunt edges.

Float glass cut to size and toughened can fulfil a range of architectural needs – be it for glass roofing, greenhouse windows, doors, balconies, or canopies. It can also be used for custom glass furnishings, such as table tops, shelves, or mirror glass replacements.

Whatever your application may be, you can select your required thickness, shape, length, and width to get the perfect fit with our custom toughened float glass.

Our Clear Float Glass and Safety Glass Collection

We offer a wide range of different glass types here at The Glass Warehouse, so if you would like something other than clear glass – be it low iron or laminated glass, or even mirror, frosted, tinted, painted, or printed glass – we may also be able to provide a bespoke product and personalised quote.

If you’re searching for ultra-clear glass with reduced iron oxide, our extra clear toughened glass offers a low iron alternative – providing all the benefits of regular toughened glass, but with improved clarity. The reduced green tint makes this finish ideal for products such as shelves and shower screens.

Again, you can always get in touch if you need assistance ordering toughened safety glass cut to size. As trusted suppliers in the glass industry, The Glass Warehouse will do everything we can to deliver nothing less than the best for our customers.

What is the main difference between toughened and laminated glass?

Toughened glass is designed to shatter into thousands of tiny, blunt pieces to reduce injury risk. Laminated glass, on the other hand, features a plastic (PVB) layer that holds the panel together if impacted. 

Both include a safety-conscious benefit, which is why toughened glass cut to size is often used in glass products for homes and businesses. But thanks to the structural maintenance afforded by laminated glass, this is considered to offer superior safety and security. 

If you aren’t sure what you need and it isn’t specified, contact the Glass Warehouse team for bespoke recommendations that suit your latest project.

What safety standards does toughened glass comply with in the UK?

There are a few key standards toughened glass products need to comply with to be used and sold in the UK, including: 

  • BS EN 12150 – which covers the manufacturing and testing requirements of thermally toughened soda-lime silicate safety glass
  • BS EN 12600 – this standard covers the pendulum impact test that classifies glass based on how it breaks. Toughened glass must achieve a “Type C” safe breakage mode to be used. 
  • BS 6206 – this older, once commonly cited standard covers safety glazing, but it has largely been superseded by BS EN 12600 now.
  • BS 6262-4 – which sets out a code of practice for glazing in buildings.

Toughened safety glass is also discussed extensively in Approved Document K (England & Wales), to set out exactly where toughened glass needs to be used in critical locations (doors, low windows, bathrooms) to avoid injuries.If you have specific standards or legal parameters you need to make sure you cover, we can advise on suitability before you order if you get in touch beforehand!

What is the lifespan of toughened glass?

If reasonably well looked after, regularly cleaned and maintained, and sharp or very hot items are kept away from the surface, toughened or tempered glass can last for 20+ years. 

Thanks to the extra strength imbued as part of the toughening process, this is five times longer than standard annealed glass, which is why it’s the ideal material to make everything from shower screens and table tops to splashbacks and glass partitions

I’ve just replaced my wooden staircase balustrades with toughened glass. I used Express Toughening to supply the 10mm thick glass panels. The company is very professional and helpful. The project went well.
