Toughened Glass in uPVC Windows

Toughened glass in uPVC windows — when it's needed and what it gives you.

Toughened in a uPVC frame

Toughened glass is heat-treated so it's much stronger than ordinary glass, and if it does break it shatters into small blunt granules rather than sharp shards.

In a uPVC window, toughened glass is specified where impact strength or safe breakage matters — large panes, doors, and low-level glazing especially.

How to choose

Look for this

  • Much stronger than ordinary glass
  • Breaks into blunt granules
  • For doors and large panes
  • For low-level glazing
  • Specified by the opening's need

What we'd suggest

We fit toughened glass where the opening calls for it rather than everywhere — it's the right answer for doors and big panes, and unnecessary on a small sheltered window.
