The neutral blue SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection and has low internal reflections, and superior light transmission – perfect for large areas. This allows the maximum amount of sunlight to be absorbed into buildings, while reducingthe glass more resistant to heat damage and impact. When shattered toughened glass breaks into small, blunt cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than sharp shards of regular glass.

This process can be used to improve existing doors and windows or creating new ones. This type of glass is ideal for areas that require increased durability or resistance to thermal stress, for Conservatory Window Glass Replacement instance conservatory repairs near me roofs, glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well as for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens.
