  • Despite piles of debris outside a building, the glass doors remain intact.

    Prepare for seismic events.

    During an earthquake, windows can be subjected to tremendous stress. They may shatter and fall out of window frames, causing dangerous openings in the building. Falling shards of glass can also present serious risks to occupants, pedestrians and property.

Protect against spontaneous glass breakage.

  • A video shows how impurities in tempered glass can result in spontaneous explosions.

    Fortify your glass to reduce the risk of injury or damage.

    Tempered glass is stronger than standard annealed glass, but factors such as impurities can cause it to spontaneously explode. When that happens, it can create dangerous openings and even rain glass down on pedestrians.
