What are the properties of tempered glass that make it a popular choice for architecture?

1. Toughness: Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than ordinary annealed glass. It is resistant to breakage and can withstand greater force and impact without breaking.

2. Safety: When tempered glass breaks, it crumbles into small, rounded pieces with no sharp edges, reducing the risk of injury.

3. Heat resistance: Tempered glass is highly resistant to thermal stress, making it less likely to crack or shatter due to temperature changes.

4. Scratch resistance: The enhanced durability of tempered glass also makes it highly resistant to scratches or damages caused by daily use.

5. Clarity: Tempered glass offers superior optical clarity, allowing for maximum light transmission and unobstructed views.

6. Customization: Tempered glass can be customized with various coatings, finishes, and patterns to achieve the desired aesthetic and performance.

7. Easy maintenance: Tempered glass is easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal effort and resources.

8. Longevity: Tempered glass is resistant to environmental factors such as moisture, wind, and UV radiation, ensuring longevity and reliability of use in architectural applications.
