We supply and fit toughened (tempered) glass across Delhi NCR — the safety glass behind doors, partitions, railings and shower enclosures. Measured on site, toughened to size, and installed by our own team.
Stronger, and safer when it breaks.
Toughening reheats cut glass and cools its surface fast, locking the outer layer in compression. The result is roughly four to five times stronger than the same ordinary annealed glass — and if it does fail, it crumbles into small blunt granules instead of long sharp shards.
That safe break pattern is why toughened glass is treated as safety glazing under IS 2553 and used anywhere people are close to it. Fully toughened is the norm for doors and showers; heat-strengthened is used where a gentler break and less bow are wanted.
Which thickness goes where.
Small fixed panels
Cabinet fronts, small windows, tabletops and light framed infills.
Partitions & showers
Most office partitions and shower enclosures — the everyday workhorse.
Doors & large panels
Frameless doors, tall partitions and bigger spans that need more rigidity.
Railings & structural
Balcony and staircase railings and heavy frameless assemblies.
Double-glazed
Two toughened panes + air gap for sound and heat in windows & partitions.
Laminated
Toughened + PVB interlayer that holds together — for overhead & fall risk.
Everything happens before toughening.
Cutting, holes and polishing are all done first — because a toughened panel can never be touched again.
| Edge-work | Rough, polished or bevelled edges — polished is standard for exposed frameless glass so there’s nothing sharp on show. |
| Cut-outs & holes | Hinge, patch-fitting and lock cut-outs are CNC-drilled to the hardware before tempering. |
| Heat-soak | Optional heat-soak testing reduces the rare risk of spontaneous breakage from nickel-sulphide inclusions — worth it on large overhead or facade glass. |
| Finishes | Clear, tinted, frosted (acid-etched or film), reflective or ceramic-fritted — specified per application. |
| Standard | Safety glazing per IS 2553, with the surface stamp on each panel where required. |

Indicative supply — 8 mm clear to 12 mm with edge-work; fitting & hardware extra
Glass itself is only part of a job — the fittings and labour sit on top. Here’s what moves the glass number:
Toughened vs laminated vs annealed.
- ◆ 4–5× stronger than annealed
- ◆ Safe granular break
- ◆ Default for doors & showers
- ◆ Cannot be cut afterwards
- ◇ Holds together when broken
- ◇ Best for overhead & fall risk
- ◇ Adds sound damping
- ◇ Thicker & costs more
- ◇ Ordinary float glass
- ◇ Can be cut on site
- ◇ Breaks into sharp shards
- ◇ Not for doors or low glass

Toughened glass FAQs.
Toughening heat-treats the glass to about four to five times the strength of ordinary annealed glass. On impact it breaks into small blunt granules rather than sharp shards, which is why it counts as safety glass and is used near people.
Shower enclosures are usually 8–10 mm; balcony and staircase railings are typically 10–12 mm, sometimes laminated for extra safety. Frameless doors are 10–12 mm. We confirm the thickness for your span and fittings on the site visit.
No. Cutting, drilling, notching and edge-work must all be done before toughening — a finished panel will shatter if you try to work it. That’s why we measure on site first and toughen each panel to its final size.
Thickness, total area, the amount of edge-work and cut-outs, any coatings or film, and whether heat-soak testing or lamination is specified. We quote by the square foot with those factors itemised, plus fittings and fitting.
This page is the material spec that the application services build on — partitions, railings, showers and frameless doors all use the toughened glass above. For aluminium-framed glazing, see the aluminium range.
