Tempered glass is a heat treated glass that is rated for temperatures up to 400 degrees. We do not stock tempered glass, once glass is tempered it can not be cut to size. It may be ordered in a variety of thickness and is a safety glass. When tempered glass is broken, it breaks into many small pieces and not dangerous shards of glass. Tempered glass is identified by a small stamp in the lower right hand corner.
NeoCeram is rated for up to 1470 degrees. We carry NeoCeram on hand because it can be cut to size. NeoCeram is available in 3/16″ thickness.
If tempered glass is exposed to temperatures above 400 degrees, it will actually become un-tempered and can break.
