Fully tempered glass is a safety glass, generally four times stronger than the same thickness of ordinary annealed glass. Taking ordinary glass to a tempered state involves heating the glass in a special furnace to approximately 1260° Fahrenheit, then setting a permanent tension between the glass “core” and surfaces by rapidly cooling the glass in a high-pressure quench.. When fully tempered glass is broken, the release of tension between these surfaces initiates a cascade of much smaller glass fragments than ordinary annealed glass. While a person can still get cut by this safety glass, the objective is to eliminate as much of the dangerously long shards of glass raining down within the broken debris as possible.

To reduce heat, gain, or loss through the glass, two or more lines of glass are used to create dead air space that inhibits the transmission of heat and cold between the lines of glass. Insulated glass is typically fabricated using very special sealants and a metal spacer at the perimeter of the glass- creating a hermetically sealed insulated glass (IG) unit. Glass used in IG units can be annealed, heat-strengthened or fully tempered.

IGP decorative glass products to satisfy a wide range of applications. Light frit colors and certain pattern designs can cause enhanced brightness when viewed from indoors under certain daylight and background sky conditions, while dark fruit colors will tend to reduce glare. Applications include transparent and translucent glass for interior applications, including glass doors, partitions, handrails, glass ceilings, bathrooms, elevator walls, shower enclosures, court walls for racket sports and sneeze guards for food service.
