Templex products have optical features comparable to anhealed glass but it is still 4 times stronger for structural performance. Templex products are also stronger in terms of thermal stress, and can withstand a temperature differential as high as 250°C in their two faces.

The safety of Templex glass lies, in addition to its resistance, in the way in which a fracture will behave,if broken accidentally. It merely turns into very small fragments. In this way, Templex glass can be used in suspended siding, in doorways, bathtub and shower partitions, fixtures, sliding doors, and in countless other applications where safety is a specified requirement.
