Tempered vs Neo-Ceramic Glassm@k23-kirk2024-02-14T22:33:06+00:00
Tempered Glass | Neo-Ceramic Glass |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing: Tempered glass is made by heating standard glass to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it. This process increases its strength. | Manufacturing: Neo-ceramic glass is made similarly to regular glass but with special materials and a unique process that allows it to withstand very high temperatures. |
| Strength and Safety: It’s much stronger than regular glass and, when broken, shatters into small, blunt pieces that are less likely to cause injury. | Strength and Safety: While it is also stronger than regular glass, its key feature is its thermal shock resistance rather than its ability to break safely. |
| Heat Resistance: Tempered glass can withstand temperatures up to 204-250°C (400-482°F). It’s commonly used in fireplace doors but not recommended for high-temperature applications where the temperature may exceed this range. | Heat Resistance: Neo-ceramic glass can withstand temperatures up to 760-820°C (1400-1500°F), making it suitable for high-temperature applications. |
| Application: Ideal for lower temperature applications such as standard fireplaces and some stove doors, as well as many household and automotive applications. | Application: It’s the preferred choice for high-efficiency wood stoves, furnaces, boilers, and fireplaces that operate at higher temperatures, where clear viewing of the fire is desired. |
| Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than neo-ceramic glass. The cost advantage is due to a relatively simpler manufacturing process and the widespread availability of the technology used to temper glass. | Higher Price: Typically more expensive than tempered glass. This is attributed to a more complex manufacturing process that enables it to withstand significantly higher temperatures, as well as the specialized materials involved. |
