Tempered glass will tend to break by itself due to cold temp.at night and hot temp on day time.....no matter the temp.rise high or drop low by 1 Celsius also will result tempered glass breakage.

I have many tempered glass in my home. Have been using for many many yrs. Not single 1 break or shatter. All brought from ikea. Maybe my house temperature is very stable I guess. hmm.gif

i`ve done so many tempered glass breakage replacement......which engineer dare tell out tempered glass wont break  due to temp.???i believe the none of engineer with I.R cert dare to say so.......mid valley shopping market is not just simple tempered glass....that is call tempered + heat soaked glass which i dare say this type of glass not many people hear about it.Its cost higher abit which malaysia market can cope with and provide stronger than ordinary tempered glass........so currently alot of glass railing use this type of glass.
Lami glass......what does it mean??
means laminated glass normally people use for skylight and all type of glass roof because when its break it just will crack and wont shattered down that is lami glass use for........ZERO KNOWLEDGE........wakakaka

Temper glass temperature tolerance are much higher compare to laminated aka Lami.

And the temper glass on some forumer house not real temper glass? since the temperature swing from day to night.. hmm perhaps they have climate control which made the toilet temperature constant. That make me wonder if my current office glass is acrylic. Maybe my office got cheated by the ID. Since is stamp with Ajiya Temper glass, and every temperature swing more than 3c everyday.

The Garden walkway is not normal temper glass, but it's strength and properties are enhanced from temper glass. Try enhance with Laminated Glass, if you can get such strength.


I have zero engineering knowledge of glass, I only did Ajiya Glass manufacturing IT implementation for some quarters, I know not everything, but enough to tell what type of glass, strength and usage around the market before Y2K.

Skylight manufacturing give option to use Temper glass. Is stronger, more expensive, and it will add additional tint to ensure no shatter when break. If the buyer willing to pay the extra. And curved glass for skylight area are normally temper glass.

If my customer option for tempered glass and tinted to prevent it shattered when break for roofing works i will tell him go for other contractor......
Ajiya is a known glass supplier for malaysia market ........but i dont know ajiya got installer or not?
As for us we are the installer which is in the end anything that happen after installation the owner still come for us not the supplier.Any regarding glass strength are mainly go for engineer but normally engineer come out with their report is the way the glass is supported.
The end....

Tumpang this post since i'm looking for bathroom divider too and a bathroom door. I'm planning to just have a piece of tempered glass, cover half the shower area to lessen the water splahing from floor till ceiling. Where can I find this? Most shops I went only have full covered type with doors. Another thing is my bathroom original door is the normal plastic door that swings inward into bathroom. I found this annoying because it ate up space, also will banged onto bathroom divider once installed. Any recommendation on bathroom door to replace this?

Perfect living this weekend at PWTC. I guess you'll find 2 or 3 distributors there for this.
