What is Tempered Greenhouse Glass?
Tempered Greenhouse Glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal treatments to increase its strength compared to normal glass. The process involves heating the glass to over 600 degrees Celsius and then rapidly cooling it. This treatment makes the glass up to five times stronger than untreated glass. It's perfect for use in greenhouses due to its ability to withstand impacts and harsh weather conditions.
