TOUGHENED GLASSWARE

Toughened glass

is treated by using

extreme heat and

then cooling rapidly

which balances the

tension stored in the

glass core.

The glass tension

makes the glass

strong and much

more resistant to

a mechanical and

thermal shock.

Tension gives safe

break characteristics

meaning once broken

no shards or sharp

edges are left

Toughening is across

the whole glass

including the stem

for safety

Fully toughened glassware has been strengthened across its entire body making the glass resistant

to damage at all points. This makes the glass stronger than regular annealed glass. When toughened

glass does break it will break into small fragments making it impossible to cause serious lacerations.

Increased durability reduces replenishment, saving money.
