1- What is 15mm clear toughened glass panel for facades?
15mm clear toughened glass panel, also known as 5/8 tempered glass sheet, is processed to be stronger and more resistant to breakage than standard 15mm annealed glass. It undergoes a special heating and rapid cooling process that increases its strength. 15mm toughened glass sheet is designed to break into small, relatively harmless fragments rather than sharp shards if it does break, reducing the risk of injury.
This thicker glass panels are often used in structural applications where additional strength is required, because it’s transparent, so they can offer views, natural light, and contribute to the overall design aesthetic of a building.
Overall, a 15mm clear toughened glass panel for facades is a high-quality, durable glass panel specifically designed for use in building exteriors where transparency, strength, and safety are essential.

Thickness
- At 15mm(5/8), the glass panel offers increased durability and can withstand higher loads compared to thinner alternatives.
Heat Resistance
- Safety toughened glass sheet has increased resistance to thermal stress, making it suitable for use in areas where temperature fluctuations are common, such as exterior hot area.

7. Packing and Delivery
Package Information of clear toughened glass panel
- We use plywood crates only Because which made by compressing and bonding processed wood, and can be exported without any complex procedures, making it very convenient.
- The size of the safety toughened glass is often not uniform. For safety transportation, the interior of the plywood box is filled with pads and blocks to provide corks between the tempered esg glass panel. Then, it is wrapped with plywood strips because the more exposed it is, the safer it is. Diagonal bracing of the plywood strips is essential to enhance the strength of the box.
- Many clients ask why we don’t use fully sealed packaging. That’s due to the more exposed it is, the safer it is. During transportation by forklift or crane, it is immediately clear that there is fragile thick toughened glass inside, prompting extra attention to safety.
