Key Considerations for Selecting Tempered Glass in Home Appliance Industry

As known that kitchen appliance manufacturers prioritize performance, safety, and aesthetics when choosing Tempered Glass and below, we outline the critical factors to guide your material selections.

Strength and Durability

Tempered glass undergoes a controlled thermal treatment process, creating internal compressive stress that makes it 3–5 times stronger than regulAr Glass in both impact and bending resistance . This resilience ensures longevity in high-traffic kitchen environments. For example, our tempered glass meets ASTM C1048 and EN 12150 standards, with surface compression exceeding 10,000 PSI , making it ideal for oven doors, cooktops, and range hoods.

Technical Specs:

1. 1. Impact Resistance: Withstands 24,000 PSI before breaking (vs. 6,000 PSI for regular glass) .

   Bending Strength: 3-5x higher than annealed glass.

2. 2. Heat Resistance and Thermal Stability

          Kitchen appliances often operate under extreme temperatures. Our tempered glass offers thermal stability up to 250-300°C. This prevents thermal shock, even during rapid temperature changes. Thermal Shock Resistance——withstands sudden temperature changes of up to 200°C .

3. 3. Safety and Compliance

          Safety is non-negotiable. When fractured, tempered glass shatters into small, blunt fragments—a key requirement of EN 12150 and ASTM C1048 .When broken, in a 50*50mm area, our  glass will be fragmented into more than 80 small dices .

4. 
   4. Precision Engineering

         Accurate dimensions are critical for seamless integration. Our state-of-the-art CNC machining ensures ±0.3mm size tolerance and ±0.15mm drilling precision . We also offer custom                   bending radii for curved applications like range hoods with tolerance ±0.5mm .

5.  5. Optical Clarity and Aesthetic Flexibility

           Modern kitchen designs demand both functionality and style. Our tempered glass boasts >90% visible light transmittance, ensuring crystal-clear views for oven doors .

   6. Customization options include:

       Color and Finish: Silk-screen printing, sandblasting, or metallic coatings for brand differentiation .

       Edge Work: Polished, beveled, or rounded edges for ergonomic appeal .

       Surface Treatments: anti-fingerprint/mirror/self-cleaning.
