Heat-strengthened glass through thermal treatment
Tempered glass is produced through a thermal process designed to harden the material.
Also known as thermal tempering, this process heats the glass to temperatures between 570°C and 700°C, depending on its composition—close to its softening point—before rapidly cooling it.
This treatment strengthens the material, making tempered glass at least four times more resistant to impact than standard monolithic glass.
The purpose of tempering is to increase resistance to shocks by creating internal tension and surface compression.
Under strong impact, tempered glass breaks into many small, less sharp fragments, greatly reducing the risk of injury.
It also significantly reduces the risk of spontaneous breakage, and visual distortion such as roller wave becomes nearly invisible.
This process effectively secures monolithic glass that could otherwise pose a danger in case of breakage.
Mechanical resistance
Thanks to a rigorous and controlled tempering process, Euroverre tempered glass reaches an exceptional level of performance.
Its resistance to bending and impact is up to five times higher than conventional annealed glass—making it ideal for applications where safety, durability, and reliability are essential.
Thermal resistance
Euroverre tempered glass is designed to withstand extreme temperature variations of up to 250°C without compromising structural integrity.
This thermal performance—far superior to standard annealed glass—makes it ideal for environments subject to significant heat fluctuations.
Impeccable tempering for exceptional glass, free of distortion.
Flat and distortion-free
Glass tempering for your most demanding projects.
Unmatched tempering quality
At Euroverre, tempering quality is based on strict control of every process parameter.
Our impeccably maintained tempering furnaces ensure a production environment free of deposits, dust, and gas residues that could affect the glass surface.
With optimized and perfectly calibrated tempering recipes, the glass maintains exceptional flatness, free from curvature or optical distortion.
Each cycle is precisely adjusted according to the type and thickness of the glass, ensuring perfectly uniform heating and cooling.
The result : Impeccably clear glass, with clean edges and no residue—meeting the highest aesthetic and technical expectations of architects, designers, and manufacturers.
At Euroverre, glass tempering is not just about resistance — it is a guarantee of visual perfection and consistent production, supported by proven expertise and state-of-the-art equipment.
