Features:

1| Glass:
Tempered glass: option of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm.
Advantages of tempering/toughening glass:
• 4-5 times stronger than normal float glass
• Breaks into small pieces/dices minimising the risks of injury
• Can resist thermal stress as edge strength is higher
Tempering is done at Jaquar’s own fully automatic state-of-the-art tempering unit:
• Tempering is for shower enclosure glasses only
• 90% of an enclosure is glass, so glass must conform to the highest safety standards since it is used in the bathroom
Quality checks:
• Fragmentation test: to check breakage pattern of glass
• Zebra test: to ensure there’s no waviness
• Ball drop test (impact resistance): to check strength at the point of impact
• Visual defects: to check for bubbles, scratches, chipping at edges and other visible defects
• Free fall test: to check the overall strength of the glass, by throwing the glass freely on a plain surface
Standards:
• These standards ensure that the glass passes stringent quality parameters
• Ensures consistency
• Enhances life of the product
