Looking for NYC Tempered Glass Services? Glass becomes tempered through a unique process that heats and cools the glass very quickly. The result is glass that is much stronger than it previously was. Not only does this process make the glass stronger, but it also changes the way the glass breaks. Instead of shattering, the glass shatters into small blocks that are much less likely to cause injury. This is the reason why Tempered glass is also called Safety glass. Here are the situations where tempered glass should be used/where it’s required for safety reasons:
When to Use NYC Tempered Glass

If glass is being used as a barrier for indoor or outdoor swimming pools or spas when the bottom edge of the glazing is less than 60” above a pool side of the glazing and the glazing is within 5 feet of a swimming pool or spa deck area, then you must have tempered glass for your saftey.
