Obtained through a specialized thermal treatment known as tempering, tempered (or toughened) glass possesses unique resistance characteristics that make it an excellent structural material suitable for a wide range of applications in the construction industry.
In the building sector, this is referred to as structural glass. Thanks to its superior resistance to mechanical stress and bending, as well as its ability to support its own weight without collapsing, it is used in construction projects of varying scales. Structural glass for building can be produced in both flat or curved forms, depending on the specific functional and architectural requirements of the installation.
