FAQs about Our Frameless Glass Shopfronts
Before you begin designing your ideal toughened glass shopfronts, check out the information below for more information.
There are several benefits of using toughened glass shopfronts, including:
Long-term durability: Toughened glass undergoes a specialised heat treatment, making it more durable and scratch-resistant, helping to maintain a visually appealing look.
Improved safety: Built to shatter into small, blunt pieces, toughened glass helps keep your customers and employees safe if it breaks.
Increased security: Their increased strength makes toughened glass shopfronts more resistant to forced entry, helping to protect your products.
Higher energy efficiency: Thanks to its thicker construction and glazing, toughened glass windows are more thermally efficient, making them an ideal material for reducing your business energy costs.
Sleek appearance: Frameless shopfront glass doors provide a visually appealing look, creating an open, welcoming entrance full of natural light.
High transparency: Frameless glass shopfronts are completely transparent and enable a clear display for storefront showrooms, helping to attract more customers.
Better acoustics: Toughened glass helps to dampen sound, creating a more peaceful atmosphere within your store.
The primary difference between toughened and standard glass relates to the manufacturing process. Toughened glass undergoes thermal tempering, a process which involves heating and then rapidly cooling the glass. This compresses the outer surface while keeping the inner core under tension, resulting in:
Increased strength and long-term durability
Controlled shattering
Ability to withstand high temperatures and rapid temperature changes
Increased load-bearing and bending
Toughened glass is typically a low-maintenance option; however, annual or biannual inspections help to maintain its longevity. Follow these practices to keep your glass in good condition:
Clean the frames
Clean the glass with a mild detergent
Lubricate the moving parts
Avoid placing adhesive materials on the glass
Regularly inspect the glass for signs of damage
Repair minor damage promptly
