Hanging Tough

Treating glass with heat can dramatically increase its strength and durability to meet safety and performance requirements. However, not all methods are equal, and the various treatments offer significant advantages depending on where the glass will live. Carey Glass uses the latest heat-treatment equipment to achieve the performance your project requires.

Toughening
