Besides, such glass is also efficient in reducing outside noise and prevents deterioration of furnishing items and pictures. Available at reasonable prices, these are manufactured using innovative technologies and improved methods. The tempered glasses are made from annealed glass through thermal tempering process. Also known as toughened glass, these undergo controlled thermal or chemical treatments and hence bears balanced internal stresses. This feature enables it to shatter into small fragments when broken without leaving any sharp edges. Suitable for various applications, such as glass doors, furniture, cookware, vehicle windows, diving masks etc., these contain various coating or laminates on the surface that helps in preventing scratches. Replenished with outstanding safety features and strength, such glasses are one of the most preferred glasses in the market. Developed from glass sheet by the sandblasting or acid etching process, frosted glass has transparent areas and decorative patterns. Basically used as a shower screen, balustrades, fabrication of furniture, photographic contact printer, partitioning, etc., the range consists of vinyl film that renders its translucent feature.
