Product description
Securit glass is a premium category of tempered safety glass, widely recognized in the construction and architectural sectors for its superior strength and safety profile. Unlike standard annealed glass, Securit undergoes a rigorous thermal tempering process where the glass is heated to a critical temperature and then rapidly cooled. This creates compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress in the center, resulting in a material that is significantly stronger than ordinary glass.
Key Features & Benefits
- Enhanced Safety: Upon breakage, Securit glass shatters into small, granular pieces with dull edges, drastically reducing the risk of severe lacerations compared to sharp shards from standard glass.
- High Strength: It offers up to four times the strength of regular annealed glass, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and large structural applications.
- Thermal Resistance: The tempered structure allows the glass to withstand significant temperature differentials without cracking, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Available in various thicknesses and finishes, including clear, tinted, and textured options, to complement modern architectural designs.
Common applications include residential and commercial windows, glass doors, shower enclosures, stair railings, skylights, and facade cladding. Its combination of durability and safety makes it the preferred choice for architects and builders seeking to meet modern safety standards while maintaining visual transparency and elegance.
