Safety Glass
Have you got Safety Glass installed?
How to tell - Toughened Safety Glass!
"Toughened" or "tempered" or simply "safety" glass
is, as these names suggest,
much more resistant to knocks and bumps than regular
glass. It is manufactured by
way of a slower cooling process, and as a result, is
considerably more robust than
standard panes of glass.
But how would you determine whether a pane of glass
is?
"regular" or tempered safety glass?
Of course, the "proof is in the pudding", in that,
if you smash it, it will fracture into
thousands of tiny pieces and remain, as far as
possible, in the shape of the pane.
But this is not a practical or advisable way of
answering this quandary. So how else
can you tell
Safety glass kitemarks
This is the most straight forward way of working out
if a pane is made of safety glass
or not. The manufacturer`s logo and name should be
present, alongside reference
to the relevant product standard. In the UK, these
standards are:
BS EN 14449
- to identify laminated glass (annealed)
BS EN 12150
- to identify as toughened glass
BS EN 14179
- to identify heat soaked, thermally toughened
glass.
Safety glass Kitemarks
The Kitemark symbol of quality was
first conceived in 1903 to identify
glazing solutions that were at the
pinnacle of safety and reliability.
Today, glass kite marks remain as
one of the oldest product quality
marks in the world still in use.
As the UK`s leading laminated glass
supplier, safety is at the forefront
of everything we do.
Since our establishment in the 1970`s, our own history has been closely intertwined with the Kitemark symbol of quality - so much so that it holds provenance within our own name.
All of our glazing solutions demonstrate the quality assurance of BSI certified Kitemarks` as listed below.
