1-What is the 8mm clear toughened glass panel?
8mm clear toughened glass panel also called 8mm ESG glass, or 8mm hardened glass, which is a type of safety glass that has been processed by controlled thermal treatments to increase its strength compared to normal 8mm annealed glass.

2-What is the guillotine glass system?
The guillotine glass system is a highly practical system that features electric and remote control mechanisms. Also known as a movable handrail, the guillotine glass balcony system expands the usable space through a vertical movement system. It transforms the atmosphere of residential and workplace environments with the modern and aesthetically pleasing image it provides.
An 8mm thick toughened glass panel moves up and down through the guillotine system, thick-toothed belt, and motor system. It is preferred for use in restaurants, cafes, patisseries, dining areas, winter gardens, terraces, hotels, and detached houses.
3-Why Choose 8mm ESG for guillotine glass?
Safety
If broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for public places with many people, such as offices, hotels, etc., or private places that require safety protection, such as bathrooms, doors and windows, etc.
Strength
It is 4-5 times stronger than standard annealed glass of the same thickness. Therefore, when the tempered glass is impacted, the user inside can be effectively protected.
Heat Resistance
It can withstand higher temperatures and temperature changes without breaking.
Aesthetics
Its clear appearance allows for unobstructed views and a clean, modern look in both residential and commercial settings.
