Your comprehensive guide to installing Securite glass.
Essential steps and tips

 

When it comes to the reassurance, safety and protection of buildings with glass facades, safety measures must be ensured.

The principles or fundamentals of installing Securite glass are one of the most important of these procedures.

Even though Securite is known for its durability and hardness, it depends on how it’s installed.
And now.
we’re going to give you an overview of the basics of installing Securite glass.

But first, let’s quickly test your knowledge…

 

What is Securite Glass?

Tempered glass is also known as tempered glass.
It is specially designed to be stronger and more durable than regular glass.
Its thickness ranges from 10 to 20 mm (sometimes up to 30 mm).

It is made by heating glass to a high temperature (up to 680 degrees Celsius).
and then cooling it rapidly.
This creates pressure in the outer layer of glass and tension in the inner layer.

This process makes Securite glass up to five times stronger than regular glass.
This makes it the best choice for many different applications.

 

Benefits of heat-treated glass (Securite):

It has many advantages that make it an ideal choice for building destinations.
such as:

 

  • High degree of security
  • Reinforced durability
  • Better insulation
  • Easy to shape
  • Lower cost

High degree of security:

It is designed to shatter into small, soft pieces to be less damaging when broken, minimizing the risk of injury from sharp edges and flying debris.
and reduce the risk of injury from sharp edges and flying debris.
This is why it is used to mitigate damage caused by natural disasters, vandalism, and accidents.
