Manufacturing Process
The basic principle employed in the heat treating process, is to create an initial condition of surface and edge compression. This condition is achieved by first heating the glass, then cooling the surfaces rapidly. This leaves the center part of the glass relatively hot compared to the surfaces. As the center cools, it forces the surfaces and edges into compression. Wind pressure, Missile impact, thermal stresses or other applied loads must first overcome this compression before there is any possibility of Fracture. Thus this heating process produces the highly desirable conditions of induced stress which result in additional strength, resistance to thermal stress and resistance. Toughened glass is manufactured on state-of-art electrically heated horizontal furnaces where heat is controlled to a uniform temperature of 650-750-degree C. Ceramic rollers convey the glass at regulated speeds. Temperature control assures minimal optical distortion. On Exit from the furnace the Glass is rapidly cooled causing the surface into a state of compression.

A Powerful Energy Curber
The Lux Glasses’s Cool insulatingglass reduces electricity consumption. Firstly, it eases the cooling on air conditioners. So that you can reduce the size of your air-conditioning machines as well as the power consumption. This implies considerable reduction in electricity bills.
The tables (Table I & II) below show the effectiveness of The Lux Glasses’s Cool insulating glass compared to single-pane glass.
Once again, as artificial light contributes to as much as 40% of a building’s energy load at times, The Lux Glasses’s Cool insulating glass is able to reduce electricity usage again by enabling the use of natural light during the day. This is significant energy savior in big offices.

Specification
Toughened, also known as tempered glass, is a specialized type of safety glass that undergoes controlled thermal treatment to significantly increase its strength and durability compared to regular annealed glass.
The heating and rapid cooling process rearranges the internal structure of the glass, making it four to five times stronger than standard glass. This added strength allows it to withstand high wind pressure, thermal stress, and impact, making it an ideal material for use in high-rise building façades, windows, doors, shower enclosures, and other structural or safety-critical applications.
One of the most important safety features of toughened glass is how it behaves when broken. Unlike regular glass, which breaks into large, sharp, and dangerous shards, toughened glass shatters into small, blunt pieces that are far less likely to cause injury. This characteristic makes it highly suitable for environments where safety is a top priority, such as commercial buildings, public spaces, and homes with children.

Heat-Strengthened Glass
Heat-strengthened glass is a type of semi-tempered glass that retains the typical characteristics of standard float glass while offering enhanced strength. Through a controlled heating and cooling process, its durability increases to approximately twice that of annealed glass. Unlike fully tempered glass, heat-strengthened glass does not qualify as a safety glazing material, as it breaks into larger fragments that tend to remain attached to the glazing structure instead of shattering into small, harmless pieces.
One of the key advantages of heat-strengthened glass lies in its smoother and flatter surface. This quality allows for better bonding with interlayers during the lamination process, resulting in improved structural integrity and performance. In comparison to toughened or fully tempered laminated glass, heat-strengthened laminated glass offers a more uniform and visually appealing finish.
Additionally, the flatter surface of heat-strengthened glass leads to fewer optical distortions when used in building facades. This makes it an attractive option in architectural applications where both strength and clarity are desired. Although it does not meet the criteria for safety glass, heat-strengthened glass is valued for its balance of strength, aesthetics, and performance, making it suitable for curtain walls, spandrels, and other non-impact-resistant glazing systems.
