1. What is EN12150 certified 5mm clear tempered glass shower cabin for residential?
5mm clear tempered glass is a kind of safety glass in the world, that uses high-quality 5mm clear annealed glass for tempering, the annealed glass often comes from the top 10 factories in China, like XYG, CSG, or TG, this manufacturer can ensure the quality no problem and very fast delivery.
The process of the 5mm clear tempered glass shower cabin is obtained by first cutting ordinary annealed glass sheets to the required dimensions, then heating it to around 700 degrees Celsius, close to its softening point, followed by rapid and uniform cooling (typically, annealed glass of 5mm thickness is heated at around 700 degrees Celsius for about 240 seconds and cooled for about 150 seconds).
After tempering, the glass surface develops uniform compressive stress while the interior develops tensile stress, thus enhancing its bending and impact resistance. Its strength is approximately 4-5 times that of ordinary annealed glass. 3/16 tempered glass panel that has been processed cannot undergo any further cutting, grinding, or other machining, nor can it sustain damage, as it would disrupt the balanced compressive stress and could lead to shattering.

Package Information
- 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 tempered glass panel is often not uniform. For safety transportation, the interior of the plywood box is filled with pads and blocks to provide corks between the insulated glass. 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 are fragile products inside, prompting extra attention to safety.
