Flat Curve 1/2'' 12mm Clear Tempered Toughened Hardened Glass For Railing Balustrade Balconies Patio

Tempered glass, as a kind of prestressed glass, is widely used in modern architecture and design because of its excellent safety and high strength characteristics. This kind of glass is heated to near the softening point by a special heat treatment process, and then cooled rapidly, resulting in strong compressive stress on the glass surface and corresponding tensile stress inside. This process significantly improves the mechanical strength of glass, making its compressive strength and bending strength reach several times that of ordinary glass.

​Why 12mm tempered glass is more popular use as glass railing/ balconies/balustrade?

*** Safety 
1. High Impact Resistance: Through a special heat treatment process, its impact resistance far exceeds that of ordinary glass, effectively withstanding external impacts.
2. Shatterproof: Breakage results in uniform, small particles, without sharp fragments, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
3. Structural Protection: The continuous glass sheet design prevents children's heads or limbs from becoming trapped in gaps, making it particularly suitable for home environments.
4. Wind Pressure Resistance: Tests have shown that a 12mm thickness can withstand extreme weather conditions, including a Category 14 typhoon.

*** Transparency and Spatial Aesthetics
1. Unobstructed View: The fully transparent design provides an expansive view of the landscape, enhancing the sense of connection between indoors and outdoors.
2 Expanded Spatial Perception: Particularly suitable for small apartments, the transparency of glass reduces visual obstruction and makes the space appear larger.
3. Modern Minimalist Style: Paired with brushed stainless steel or fingerprint-free armrests, it complements high-end home and commercial designs.
4. Customizable Flexibility: Available with matte and glazed finishes, it balances privacy needs with personalized style.

*** Durability and Ease of Maintenance
1. Long-Term Stability: Corrosion- and crack-resistant, with a service life of over 10 years.
2. Weather Resistance: Effectively protects against wind and rain, maintaining its protective function even in harsh weather.
3. Easy Cleaning: Daily cleaning requires only soap and water, making stains easy to remove and maintaining low maintenance costs.
