Custom toughened glass shower doors

For custom shower doors, safety-tempered glass is mandatory. It's stronger and shatters into small, blunt granules if broken, minimizing injury risk. Thickness selection is critical:

• 8mm: Most common, offers good stability.
• 6mm: Suitable for small doors or fixed panels.
• 10/12mm: Used for oversized or frameless doors, providing maximum solidity.

Optional features enhance function and aesthetics: laminated glass (extra safety), frosted/sandblasted glass (privacy), Low-E glass (heat retention).

Hole-drilling processes are vital:

1. Timing: All holes (for hinges, handles, etc.) MUST be drilled BEFORE tempering. Drilling after tempering causes instant shattering.
2. Precision: Holes require exact measurement and positioning based on design drawings, typically using specialized equipment (like CNC machines or waterjets) for accuracy.
3. Edge Treatment: Hole edges must be finely ground and polished to remove any chips or micro-cracks. This prevents stress concentration (which can cause spontaneous breakage) and ensures smooth, secure hardware installation.

In short: Choosing the correct, safe glass thickness and ensuring precise pre-tempering hole drilling and polishing are core to the safety and durability of custom shower doors.
