Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that is processed with thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. It is designed to be used in areas where there is a high risk of contact, temperature changes, high temperatures, and breakage. Here are some common uses of tempered glass:

• Automotive: Tempered glass is used in passenger vehicle windows (apart from the windshield) because it is strong, thermal resistant, and safe.

• Construction: Tempered glass is used in numerous ways in the construction of a house, including shower doors, bathtub enclosures, sliding doors, windows, skylights, glass facades, elevators, swimming pools, and glass balcony doors.

• Kitchen appliances: Tempered glass is used in ovens, stoves, and other kitchen appliances that deal with great amounts of heat.

• Mobile devices: Tempered glass is used in smartphone displays, laptop screens, and heavy-duty screen protectors.

• Retail stores: Display cases and tables in retail stores are made of tempered glass because they are tough enough that they won’t break when someone tries to steal something.

• Sports arenas: Glass railings in department stores, offices, and commercial and public spaces are made of tempered glass for the public’s safety.

• Wet areas: Glass in wet areas like shower doors in bathrooms and doors and windows around swimming pools and saunas should be made of tempered glass due to the increased risk of falls.

Tempered glass is not shatterproof or unbreakable, but it is much stronger than regular glass and is designed to prevent spall and keep building occupants safe.
