Like many Americans, you’ve become more and more concerned about the safety and security of your family. We share your concern and want to help plan for the kind of environment you want for your loved ones. One that’s warm in winter, cool in summer and secure from fear of window break-ins or injuries from broken glass caused by accidents or storm wind damage.

An accident occurs in an instant. A baseball crashes through your window —scattering razor sharp shards with tiny splinters that are dangerous to your family. Tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and can withstand impacts of up to 24,000 lbs. per sq. in. If it should break, it crumbles into small square nuggets with blunt edges. Completely harmless and easier to clean up. Since it is stronger, more difficult to break — and nearly impossible to cut with a glass cutter — tempered glass provides added protection against forced entries and intruders. With more than a quarter of a million hospital emergency room injuries each year due to broken glass, wouldn’t you rather have the ultimate in safety for your family?

Unlike ordinary glass, tempered glass crumbles into small, harmless nuggets with blunt edges.

Tempered glass is strong enough to drive nails! You’d never try that with ordinary glass.
