Tempering - strengthened glass for your projects.
Tempered glass offers the perfect solution for your general
and safety glazing projects such as sliding doors, building
entrances, and interior partitions where superior strength and safety
are concerns. That's because tempered glass has double to triple
the resistance to thermal shock, as does a piece of untempered glass.
The
process of creating tempered glass consists of two steps. First,
the glass is heated to extreme temperatures, and then it is immediately
cooled. This process creates a piece of quality glass that shatters
into small pieces upon impact.
NWI has two furnaces which are capable of handling glass which
measures up to 84" x 174". In addition, our furnaces are
supported by fabrication equipment for handling holes, notches,
cutouts and edgework.
