Tempered glass sheet is one kind of safety glass, which is used widely in our daily items, like the tempered glass cover sheet for our household appliances, glass cover sheets used in our furniture, and also we can see some tempered glass used in our buildings, even our phone protector is using some kind of tempered glass sheets. today we are going to introduce you some knowledge about how those tempered glass sheets are manufactured: 

Tempered Glass Sheets Key in Growth of the Glass Industry

 

The glass industry has seen remarkable growth over the years, with tempered glass sheets being one of the contributing factors to the success of the glass industry. Tempered glass sheets are commonly used in a wide range of home applications, including our washing machine single tube or double tubes top laoding, refrigerators, stove, oven, water heater, water cleaner, shower enclosures, also tempered glass sheets are widely used in our furniture, such as the tea table top sheets, even our bedside table top cover sheets. even the smartphones we used everyday, its screen protector is using the tempered glass sheets, to name a few.

Tempered glass sheets are a high-quality and durable option, which makes them popular among architects, interior designers, and homeowners. The sheets are crafted with precision and expertise, with a detailed process that involves cutting, heating, and cooling.

 

The first step in the process of making tempered glass sheets is cutting. The plain float glass sheet is cut according to the customers required size and shape using specialized cutting equipment. after the float glass sheets are cut into required size, the edges and angles will be polished, that is also to reduce the harm to human body once the final glass sheets is used in home appliances or furniture. The next step after grinding is heating the glass sheets to high temperatures to make it malleable. The heating process softens the glass and increases its strength. Once heated, the glass sheet is then rapidly cooled, a process referred to as quenching. Quenching makes the outer surface of the glass cool quicker than the inner part, resulting in compressive stress on the surface of the glass, which increases its strength. after thermal tempering, the cooled tempered glass sheets will be sent to the printing machine, usually Huide Glass is using the silk screen printing mahcines to press the required patterns on the tempered glass sheets, that is why we can see different color tempered toughened glass sheets with various designs are used in our home appliances and furniture, like our top load washing machine lid cover panel, our refrigerator door panel, our table top cover panels, etc. after finishing the silk printing, the finished tempered glass sheets will go for quality inspection, once passing through the quality inspect, the quality tempered glass sheets will be packed and loaded into the carton, and ready for delivery. 

 

The tempered glass sheet market has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, with a CAGR of 5.7% between 2020 and 2025. The rising demand for tempered glass sheets especially in home appliance and household furniture manufacturing industry is attributed to their strength, safety, and durability. The wide range of applications is another contributing factor to the growth of the market.

 

The construction industry is one of the major end-users of tempered glass sheets, accounting for a significant share of the market. Tempered glass sheets are widely used in the construction industry because of their high strength and safety features. They are used for windows, doors, and partition walls, among others.

 

The automotive industry is also a major end-user of tempered glass sheets, particularly in the production of windshields. Tempered glass sheets are durable and can withstand the impact of debris and rocks. They also shatter into small pieces to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

 

Smartphone manufacturers also use tempered glass sheets to make the front and back panels of smartphones. The strength of tempered glass sheets provides protection for the smartphone screen from scratches and breakage, which is a key consideration for consumers.

 

The Asia-Pacific region is a significant market for tempered glass sheets, accounting for a significant share of the global market. China, Japan, and India are among the major consumers of tempered glass sheets. The increasing construction activities, rising demand for automobiles, and the growing popularity of smartphones in the region are some of the key factors driving the growth of the market.
