Tempered glass is treated to be far more resistant to breakage than simple annealed glass. Toughened glass breaks in a more predictable way. Thus providing a major safety advantage in almost all of its applications.
Tempered glass also has an increased resistance to breakage as a result of stresses caused by different temperatures within a pane. Tempered glass has extremely broad applications for buildings, automobiles, transport, windows, building facades, sliding doors, partitions, glass furniture as well as other areas.

Tempered glass railings offer a sleek, modern look with enhanced strength and safety. Designed to be more durable than standard glass, they resist impact and temperature changes, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor spaces.
In the rare event of breakage, the glass shatters into small, rounded pieces for added safety—while still preserving clear views and a minimalist aesthetic.
Glass Railing Code Basics: Under the International Building Code (IBC), glass in handrails and guards is generally required to be laminated (fully tempered or heat‑strengthened), minimum 1/4 in. (6.4 mm), and tested to CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Category II or ANSI Z97.1 Class A. Single fully tempered glass is allowed only by exception where there is no walking surface below or the area beneath is permanently protected from falling glass. For structural glass balusters, an attached top rail/handrail is required so the barrier remains in place if a panel fails; the rail may be omitted only when the balusters are laminated with equal plies and tested in accordance with ASTM E2353.
