Toughened
The Strength and Safety of Toughened Glass
- Toughened glass is created through a specialized heat treatment process that increases its strength and resistance to breakage. This process ensures the glass is more durable and able to withstand greater impact and temperature fluctuations, making it a safer option for various applications. When it does break, it shatters into small, harmless fragments rather than sharp shards.

Toughened Glass: Enhanced Strength and Safety for Every Application
What Happens When Toughened Glass Breaks?
Unlike regular glass, which shatters into large, sharp shards, toughened glass is designed to break in a much safer manner. When enough force is applied to crack or break toughened glass, it fractures into small, blunt-edged granules rather than dangerous jagged pieces. This reduces the risk of serious injury, making it an ideal choice for applications where safety is a priority.
How Toughened Glass Looks When Cracked
Toughened glass does not form simple cracks like ordinary glass. Instead, when it breaks, the entire pane shatters almost instantly into numerous small fragments, often creating a “spiderweb” effect just before full disintegration. This is due to the internal tension created during the toughening process. If only a minor crack appears, it typically spreads rapidly until the entire pane breaks apart.
Where is Toughened Glass Used?
Due to its high strength and safety properties, toughened glass is commonly used in:
- Windows and doors for homes, offices, and commercial buildings
- Shower enclosures and glass partitions
- Car windows and windscreens
- Glass balustrades and staircases
- Shopfronts and display cases
Toughened glass is an essential material in modern architecture and design, providing both durability and enhanced safety for a wide range of applications.

Was very impressed both by the service…
Was very impressed both by the service and the product. After a bad experience with a previous window company, which you could feel the draft coming through after one month of instalation, I was skeptical to try different company. I am thrilled I found SBW GROUP. I had my windows done in April 2024 and the quality is above my expectations. The installation team was very organised, professional and considerate and we are very pleased with the results. Highly recommend them.

I have new windows and one door fitted last year with Sbw Group LTD company. I am very happy how my windows looks. The quality is very good, we saw a big difference on the comfort inside the house as we don’t feel the wind and cold through the windows. We had some issues with our door but the company solved it quickly and professionally. I do recommend Sbw company for the price, quality and professionalism.

I purchased an aluminum residential door with a fingerprint system and a PVC door from them, including installation. I was able to discuss all the details during a visit to their showroom, which simplified the situation as it was easier to communicate my preferences and requests. I am very satisfied with the quality of the products and highly recommend them!
