12mm Tempered Glass Guide for Shop Fronts, Banks, and Doors

 ​In the world of construction and interior design, 12mm tempered glass is considered the best standard of strength and beauty. It is commonly called safety glass because it is five times stronger than ordinary glass. This is why it is the best choice for commercial places, offices, and banks where both security and a premium look are necessary.​In this guide, we will learn why 12mm glass is necessary for shop fronts, bank exteriors, and heavy-duty glass doors.

​1 High-Impact Shop Fronts

The success of any showroom or retail store depends a lot on its beauty and presentation.12mm glass gives shop fronts an extremely clean and modern look. Since it can be installed with a low-frame or frameless design, people passing by can see your products clearly.Shop fronts are usually 8 to 12 feet high. Thin glass can shake or bend under wind pressure, while 12mm glass provides extreme strength. It also has better resistance against theft attempts and accidental impacts.

​2 Bank Frontage and High Security Areas

Banks need high-level security along with beauty.Using 12mm tempered glass in the exterior of a bank increases security. Its thickness makes it difficult to break and it resists hard impacts.A big quality of 12mm glass is that it reduces noise. It stops outside traffic and noise from coming in and maintains a peaceful environment inside the bank.

​3 Heavy-Duty 12mm Glass

In high-use places glass doors should always be made with 12mm glass.12mm glass is heavy  which is why strong floor hinges and high quality stainless steel patch fittings are used for it. These fittings hold the glass firmly and allow the door to move smoothly.These doors open and close hundreds of times daily. 12mm glass ensures that its strength remains over time and the glass does not lose its structure.

​4 Why 12mm Glass is Necessary

12mm glass is heated to more than 180°C and then cooled rapidly. This process increases its strength many times compared to ordinary glass.If 12mm tempered glass breaks which happens only with extreme force it breaks into small, round grains instead of sharp pieces, which reduces the risk of injury.
