To make tempered glass, the glass is reheated to just below the melting point but air-cooled (quenched) quickly, which creates higher surface compression and/or edge compression in the glass.
Tempering makes the glass four to five times stronger and safer than annealed or untreated glass. As a result, tempered glass is less likely to experience a thermal break.
Tempered glass, which also may be called safety glazing, is typically specified to provide security or to keep occupants safe wherever there is the potential for broken glass to hurt people.
