Heat-Resistant Tempered and Laminated Glass

Get quality tempered glass from Howie Glass. Tempered glass is used in applications where standard glass could pose a potential danger because it is four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not shatter into large shards when broken.

Laminated glass is much harder to break than traditional glass because of the way it's constructed - with a piece of laminate between the sheets of glass. It's very durable and great for reducing sound. Call for a free estimate.

Safe and Efficient Tempered Glass

Toughened or tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the inner surfaces into tension.

Perfectly Suited Safety Glass

Laminated glass is ideal for many security and safety applications. They can help protect your home or business from storm damage and last longer than normal glass. If you're considering installing laminate glass in your windows, contact us first because it's not ideal for all applications.

Tempered and Laminated Safety Glass Questions

What is the difference between tempered and laminated glass?

Tempered glass is heat-treated to be four to five times stronger than standard glass and breaks into small pieces instead of large shards. Laminated glass has a layer of laminate between two sheets, so it holds together when broken and reduces sound.

Where is safety glass used?

Anywhere standard glass could pose a danger, such as doors, shower enclosures, tabletops, and windows that need extra security.

Is laminated glass right for every window?

No. It isn't ideal for every application, so contact us before you decide and we'll help you choose.
