All of our sliding glass systems use tempered 10mm or 8mm glass, a type of strengthened safety glass. This offers optimal strength and thermal resistance. In the very unlikely event of damage occurring, tempered glass breaks cleanly into small, granular chunks that are less likely to cause injury. However, the incredibly durable nature of tempered glass means that breakage is only possible under the most extreme conditions.
