Toughened Glass
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please take extra
CARE
handling toughened glass. It is extremely vulnerable to
BREAKAGE
at the edges and in
particular, the
CORNERS
. When you are
MOVING
it, please take care not to brush the
EDGES
of the glass
against concrete etc.. as it can
SHATTER
or
BREAK
very easily. Likewise, it should
ALWAYS
be stacked on
wooden bearers, or cardboard, or carpet, or anything to avoid direct contact with a hard floor.
Once the glass is installed into the frame the whole structure becomes much more
RIGID
.
The toughened glass in particular is very resilient to face-on
DAMAGE
.
