Toughened safety glass explained
With toughened shower screen glass, style and safety go hand in hand. Standard float glass may be economical, but in many cases, it isn’t resilient enough to withstand the wear and tear of busy family bathrooms.
Bumps and sudden temperature changes are common, and your shower screen needs to withstand this kind of impact for the foreseeable. To manufacturer bespoke shower screens, we use toughened glass.
The difference between standard float glass and toughened glass lies in the processing – our glass is heat-treated, making it around 4–5 times stronger.
Where standard glass could shatter into jagged, dangerous shards, toughened glass is designed to shatter into small, blunt-edged granules. In the unlikely event of failure, a tempered glass shower screen offers a secure, long-term solution.
Made to measure for a neater fit.
Why settle for ‘near-enough’ when you could have exactly right? Off-the-shelf shower screens are limited to standard widths and heights, which can create gaps or require bulky framing to bridge the difference.
Our toughened shower screen glass is available in personalised sizes for walk-in showers, wet rooms, alcoves, over-bath layouts and any area where standard retail sizes just won’t work.
Made-to-measure glass also gives you more control over how your screen works in the room. Where fittings are required, cut-outs can be specified at the time of order, so the panel is manufactured to suit your bathroom from the start.
