15mm Heat Soaked Tempered Glass for Skylights – Load-Bearing & Thermal Resistant

Product Summary

Our 15mm heat soaked tempered glass is specifically designed for skylight and overhead glazing applications, offering superior load-bearing capacity along with a bending strength of 150 MPa. The heat soak treatment (certified per BS EN 14179-1:2016) significantly reduces the risk of spontaneous breakage, crucial for overhead installations. SGS Test Report No. GZIN1806033817CM-01 validates its safety performance for global projects.

Key Selling Points

• High Load-Bearing Capacity (150 MPa): Supports overhead loads, snow loads, and wind uplift in skylight applications.
• Heat Soaked for Overhead Safety: Mandatory for sloped glazing to minimize breakage risk; our oven is calibrated per BS EN 14179-1:2016.
• SGS Certified with Report (GZIN1806033817CM-01): Specific to 15mm heat soaked toughened glass, tested by SGS-CSTC.
• Thermal Shock Resistance (250–320°C): Withstands thermal stress from direct sunlight and shading, reducing breakage risk.
• Breakage Pattern – Obtuse-Angle Grains: Reduces injury risk in the rare event of failure, essential for overhead installations.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Skylights and roof glazing
• Canopies and overhead walkways
• Atrium enclosures
• Sloped glazing systems

Customization

We provide custom cutting, edge finishing, hole drilling, and surface treatments. MOQ: 100 m². Payment: 30% TT in advance, balance before shipment.

Case Study

In the Dubai Safari Mall project, our tempered glass was used for skylights and curtain walls. The project demanded high weather resistance, energy-saving insulation, and aesthetic appeal. The glass achieved color stability (≥85%), safety performance (≥3500 Pa), and maintained its integrity over a 2–10 year service period. While the exact thickness used may vary, our 15mm variant is an excellent choice for such large-span overhead installations.

FAQ

Q: Is 15mm tempered glass safe for skylights?
A: Yes, when combined with heat soak treatment, it meets safety requirements for overhead glazing.

Q: Do you have a test report for 15mm heat soaked glass?
A: Yes, SGS report no. GZIN1806033817CM-01 is available.

Q: What is the maximum span for 15mm tempered glass in a skylight?
A: Depends on design loads. Typical spans range from 1.5m to 2.5m in continuous support. We recommend engineering review for your specific project.

Q: Can this be laminated for extra safety?
A: Yes, we offer laminated variants using SGP interlayer for impact resistance and retention after breakage.

Q: What certifications are relevant for overhead glazing?
A: SGCC (ANSI Z97.1, CPSC 16 CFR 1201) and CE (EN 12150) apply. Heat soak treatment is recommended per EN 14179.

Q: How is the glass packed for transport?
A: In wooden crates with interleaving powder and edge protectors. Each crate is designed for safe container loading.

Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: 20–30 working days for heat soaked products, subject to order volume.

Q: Can you supply both clear and tinted versions?
A: Yes, we offer clear, extra clear, and various tinted options (e.g., bronze, grey, blue).
