Toughened Glass London | 4 May 2025
When strength, safety, and style are paramount, toughened glass—also known as tempered glass—is the material of choice for both residential and commercial projects. At Glass Designs Limited, based in South London, we’ve been crafting and supplying high-quality toughened glass panels for decades. With cutting-edge equipment and a customer-first approach, we’re proud to deliver made-to-measure toughened glass solutions tailored to your exact needs.
What Is Toughened Glass?
Toughened glass is a specially treated type of safety glass that is up to five times stronger than standard annealed glass. To create it, the glass is rapidly heated to temperatures exceeding 600°C, then cooled quickly in a controlled process. This results in compressed outer surfaces and a tensioned inner core, which significantly boosts durability and resistance to impact.
Not only does this process make the glass tougher—it also enhances safety. If broken, toughened glass crumbles into small, blunt fragments rather than sharp, dangerous shards. This safety characteristic makes it ideal for homes, offices, and public spaces.
Made to Measure: Glass Cut to Your Requirements
At Glass Designs Limited, every project starts with precision. We provide toughened glass cut to size, shaped to your unique requirements. Whether you’re a homeowner updating your interiors or a contractor managing a commercial installation, we offer a wide variety of sizes and thicknesses to suit your needs, including:
-

-
6.4mm
-
8.8mm
-

Need a specific look or finish? We can also supply glass in a range of tints, textures, or even with a white diffuser coating to scatter light and soften its appearance.
Versatile Applications for Every Space
Thanks to its strength and design flexibility, toughened glass is suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior applications. Some of the most popular uses include:
-
Glass balustrades: A sleek and secure choice for staircases, balconies, or rooftop terraces.
-
Glass shelves: Durable enough to hold heavy items, yet stylish enough for retail displays or minimalist home storage.
-
Frameless glass showers: Create a luxurious, open feel in your bathroom with clean lines and lasting performance.
-
Glass table tops: Ideal for modern homes or professional office spaces, offering both durability and design appeal.
Because toughened glass can’t be cut or altered after it’s been processed, we work closely with every client to ensure that dimensions and design details are accurate before manufacturing begins.
