Product introduction
Eurowindow Tempered Glass and Heat-Strengthened Glass are safety glass products strengthened through thermal treatment on modern production lines, meeting requirements for mechanical strength and safety across various types of buildings.
Both glass types are based on the heat treatment principle but differ in surface stress levels and fracture characteristics, allowing each product to serve different application purposes.
With more than 24 years of pioneering European standards in Vietnam, Eurowindow manufactures glass at its Glass Center located at Lot 15, Quang Minh Industrial Park, Me Linh, Hanoi.
The production line has been certified with Kitemark KM 564850 and KM 564851 by BSI (UK). Tempered glass complies with BS EN 12150-1:2000 and is certified by TÜV Rheinland, while heat-strengthened glass meets BS EN 1863 standards.
The products are suitable for glass façades, glass partitions, door systems and various architectural applications requiring high safety levels.
Excellent Load-Bearing Capacity and Enhanced Safety During Impact
Eurowindow Tempered Glass (Fully Tempered Glass) is heat-treated at approximately 700°C and rapidly cooled with air to create surface compression, increasing hardness and load-bearing capability.
As a result, the glass has 4 - 5 times higher mechanical strength than conventional glass of the same thickness, allowing it to withstand greater loads and resist breakage caused by thermal stress.
The glass also offers high thermal shock resistance, withstanding temperature differences of more than 200°C, significantly higher than conventional glass (approximately 50°C).
In particular, when subjected to impacts exceeding its strength limit, tempered glass breaks into small, separate fragments with less sharp edges, minimizing the risk of injury to users.
Eurowindow tempered glass has 4–5 times higher strength than conventional glass of the same thickness.
High Stability for High-Rise Buildings
Heat-Strengthened Glass is manufactured through a process similar to tempered glass but with different heating and cooling conditions.
The product has 2 - 3 times higher strength than conventional glass of the same size and thickness, while maintaining better flexibility and structural stability.
When subjected to forces beyond its limit, heat-strengthened glass does not immediately shatter into small fragments. Instead, it develops wave-like cracks that extend from the center toward the edges.
The cracked glass remains firmly attached to the frame, reducing the risk of falling fragments that may endanger people below.
This characteristic makes heat-strengthened glass particularly suitable for high-rise buildings, glass façades and large glass partitions exposed to wind pressure.
Heat-strengthened glass has 2–3 times higher strength than conventional glass of the same thickness.
Reduced Risk of Spontaneous Breakage with Heat-Soak-Test Inspection
Eurowindow tempered glass is inspected through the Heat-Soak-Test process to identify and remove glass panels that may have a risk of spontaneous breakage caused by Nickel Sulfide (NiS) inclusions.
The glass testing equipment is imported from Germany and complies with EN 14179-1, helping improve product stability and reliability before actual installation. This process ensures long-term safety and durability for construction projects.
Flexible Processing and Diverse Applications in Construction
Eurowindow tempered glass and heat-strengthened glass can be processed through drilling, grinding, edge polishing or beveling, and can also be combined into insulated glass units or laminated safety glass according to design requirements.
With high load-bearing capacity, vibration resistance, strong thermal shock resistance and good scratch resistance, these products are ideal solutions for projects requiring high safety standards and mechanical strength.
The products are widely applied in construction and interior decoration, including:
- Large glass partitions
- Glass façades
- Interior partitions
- Frameless glass doors
- Windows
- Entrance doors
- Vehicle glass
- Glass stair railings
- Glass tabletops
- Glass shower cabins
- Glass cabinets
- Other large-scale glass applications
Eurowindow tempered glass and heat-strengthened glass can be used for glass shower cabins.

Application in construction
Tempered glass is suitable for applications requiring high safety levels and strong load-bearing performance, such as glass partitions, glass doors, stair railings, shower enclosures and glass tabletops.
Its ability to break into small fragments helps reduce risks for users in both residential and commercial spaces.
Heat-strengthened glass is commonly selected for façades and high-rise buildings where resistance to wind pressure and stable glass retention within the frame are required.
Both product lines can be combined within the same project to optimize safety, aesthetics and structural performance.
