Being a Grade A safety glass, toughened glass can be used in areas that require safety glass to comply with current Australian Standards. High traffic areas and other positions that are likely to be subject to human impact require this type of glass to minimise potential injuries. Panels of glass in doors, side panels next to doors, low level glazing and other similar locations must be either toughened or laminated glass, which provide a safe situation when broken.
In addition to the safety aspects of toughened glass it is also a strong and durable product, which can withstand higher impact and even higher temperatures. Areas subject to excessive amounts of heat such as splashbacks, hot food displays and other similar applications require toughened glass for this reason. Glass panels that are subject to impact or vandalism such as bus shelters, squash courts and balustrades benefit from the extra strength provided by toughened glass.
