Reinforced

Reinforced glass is a type of glass that is characterized by the use of thicker layers of glass, which naturally increases its mechanical resistance. It differs from tempered or laminated glass in that:

• Material thickness: The use of thicker layers of glass makes it more difficult to break than standard glass.

• No additional reinforcement processes: Unlike tempered glass, which undergoes thermal processes, or laminated glass, which is reinforced with protective films, reinforced glass does not undergo these processes. This means that while it is thicker and stronger than standard glass, it does not have the additional safety properties that tempered glass provides (breaking into small, safe pieces) or laminated glass (maintaining integrity when broken).

• Increased durability: Thicker glass means better impact resistance compared to standard thickness glass, but not as high as tempered glass.

Although reinforced glass offers some improvements in terms of strength, it does not provide the same advanced level of security as specialized glass such as tempered or laminated glass. It is a good choice where increased resistance to puncture or impact is needed, but there is no risk of violent and dangerous breakage.
