A Warm Welcome + Today's Question Answered

      Welcome to The Glass Man blog! We're excited to be here and ready to provide tons of useful information about the wonderful world of glass design, fabrication, and projects. Feel free to ask any questions you might have by commenting on any of our articles. So without further ado, let's get the ball rolling with a question we've been getting asked alot lately...

TEMPERED GLASS...WHAT IS IT?

"Safety glass comes in various forms, and t
empered glass is one of these forms. 
Tempering is a heat strengthening process that makes annealed (raw) glass 4 to 6 times stronger. 
Applications where tempered glass is used vary from glass used in doors to the glass in your car. 
The one weakness in tempering glass is the edges it creates,  more specifically the corners.
This is why it is very important that we cover these whenever possible."
