The neutrad makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impact. When glass is broken, the toughened fragments are small, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injury than sharp fragments.

The toughening process can be used to improve doors and windows that are already in use, or to create new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require greater durability or resistance to thermal stress, such as conservatory door repairs roofs, glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well as for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens.

The lead came can be shaped to match any style and can also include intricate details like beveled edges or textures.

The final product is connected to create an extremely secure and stable window. Use only a solder with temperatures that are comparable to the alloy used to make the glass and lead came. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and damage the strength of the window if not cautious.

Laminated Glass

This makes it more difficult to break-ins and less prone to shatter into sharp fragments. It also adds an additional layer of protection from the sun's UV rays, which can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger than ordinary annealed glass, and has excellent sound-insulation qualities. It is available in a variety of colors to match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make a glass panel transparent when it is turned off, and clear when a small amount of current is passed through it.

Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However it is essential to remember that the interlayer may separate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. The risk of this happening is reduced by keeping the glass and interlayer in good condition by using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions or excessive exposure to heat.

Laminated glass is recyclable, unlike tempered glass which is treated chemically. This is done by placing the glass into a machine that separates it from the film inside that can then be melted and then used in a different application. This process is a more environmentally friendly alternative to throwing away the glass and film as waste. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a flammable liquid to melt the glass laminated.
