Triplex Or Tempered Glass. What's Better?



You decided to decorate the living room with a glass table, put a glass partition or a door. And then a reasonable question arises - what glass is needed as there are several types of it. You can choose tempered glass or triplex. As a rule, triplex is more suitable for glass constructions. It is made of two glasses laminated together with a special film.


When applying the film, the finished “sandwich” is pressed and then sent to the oven. There the film melts and holds glass layers together. Tempered glass is obtained from the usual one by way of its heating to temperature of 650 ° C. Then it is evenly cooled with air. As a result of such quenching a tension is formed on the surface of the glass.


The glass treated in this way is durable as well as heat resistant. It is very important to make in advance all the technological holes required during assembly, otherwise you can easily spoil the finished glass.

As for strength, then triplex and tempered glass are several times harder compared to the usual one. And triplex strength is determined by the strength of the constituent elements and the quality of the film or composition.

In any case, triplex bypasses the usual glass in strength parameter several times. If you use tempered glass to produce triplex, then its strength will increase accordingly.


After a sharp and strong mechanical action the triplex fragments do not fall apart, but form a cobweb. When the tempered glass breaks, it transforms into “crumb” with blunt angles, which are absolutely harmless. Tempered glass is used for partitions, showers, doors, windows, canopies. Such glass perfectly tolerates changes in temperature and humidity, and therefore is widely used in saunas and bathrooms. It can be decorated with photo printing or sandblasting.

Triplex and tempered glass have high sound insulation properties and can be used where it is important, specialists of Giovani Glass will help you to make a right choice.

Glass tempering technology

Glass tempering technology To make ordinary glass more resistant to shock loads, temperature changes, and also safer in the event of destruction, special high-temperature treatment is applied to it, followed by cooling - quenching. As a result of quenching, constant stresses remain in the glass material, due to which glass loses its uniformity and acquires new properties. The specific properties of tempered glass Hardened glass can not be drilled or cut - it will lead to its destruction due to the presence of internal stresses. Due to the use of glass hardening technology, it becomes 5-10 times stronger to shock loads and much more resistant to destruction due to temperature differences than ordinary glass. If tempered glass is broken, it does not carry a danger of injury to a person, since its fragments are small, with blunt edges, which cannot be cut. If you break the usual glass, formed large fragments with sharp edges, very traumatic. Glass tempering technology Use ...

Reasons to choose glass partitions

glass partitions Glass partitions as an element of zoning offices, shops, business centers have become firmly established in our life. But to use glass partitions in the apartment are solved only a few. Many doubt the practicality and safety of such design. Let's understand the pros and cons of using glass partitions in residential apartments. Benefits: • Glass does not interfere with the flow of light; it will become much lighter in the apartment. Light will give beauty to your design; glass partitions • In the manufacture of glass partitions, the material undergoes heat treatment. Tempered glass is several times stronger than normal and cut sharpness, minimizing the risk of injury. You do not have to worry about the safety and bruise of this material; • In small apartments, glass can replace the partition between the kitchen and the living room, visually expanding the space and isolating unpleasant odors. The space immediately increases visually and a feeling of...

Scopes of tempered glass

Due to the properties of the material, tempered glass sheets are characterized by increased resistance to attempts to damage them. If you try to break the glass, the last hardening, you can find that it breaks into fragments with blunt edges, which can not injure the skin. This is the safety of the material. tempered glass  The hardening process is carried out on special equipment by means of strong heating of the glass, which, when it reaches a certain temperature, is subjected to instant cooling, which gives the desired effect. Moving from a moving mass to a solid, the glass structure is accompanied by a change in its physical parameters, since the bonds of the molecular level in it become stronger. With the help of this technology, the formation of compression stress points in the glass structure is realized, due to which glass becomes mechanically more durable and capable of withstanding significant temperatures without damage, as well as sudden temperature fluctuations...
