12 MM TEMPERED GLASS
SQUASHTECH SAFE GLASS is a 12 mm tempered glass (so-called ESG), which has been subjected to a special thermal treatment, so that its resistance to shattering is significantly increased – it is 5 to 7 times stronger than the same glass in the non-tempered version.
SQUASHTECH SAFE GLASS
This feature of tempered glass has caused it to cease to play the traditional role of “filling” wooden or metal structures, and to become a full-fledged construction material. As a result, it is possible to produce all-glass structures, where there are no frames, but only glass and metal fittings (fasteners, hinges, turnbuckles, etc.). In the event of breakage, it shatters into small, indistinct pieces, which is why it is called safety glass.
According to WSF specifications, the glass wall of a squash court must be able to withstand the impact of a player weighing 100 kg falling on the glass at a speed of 4.5m/se at a right angle. Our glass meets this requirement.
Safety tempered glass is a key component of squash court construction, as it must withstand the intense movement of the ball and the potential impacts of players. Here are the characteristics of safety tempered glass on a squash court:
- Tempered glass for a squash court is usually made of high-quality tempered glass. This glass has high impact resistance and is more resistant to damage than traditional glass.
- Tempered glass is designed to withstand the heavy impact of a squash ball. Exceptional impact resistance minimizes the risk of breakage and damage
- tempered glass is safe for gamers, as it shatters into small, blunt pieces if damaged, reducing the risk of serious injury
- The thickness of the tempered glass is appropriately adapted to the specifics of the squash game to provide the necessary strength and safety
- tempered glass must maintain high transparency while providing clarity of game observation. The visual quality of the glass is important for the comfort and clarity of the game
- tempered glass is resistant to the influence of atmospheric conditions such as temperature changes and humidity, which affects its durability
- Tempered glass goes through a special thermal treatment process that increases its impact resistance.
- Tempered glass on the squash court must meet the relevant safety standards for sports facilities, which is key to ensuring the safety of court users
- installation of tempered glass must be carried out in accordance with relevant standards to ensure its stability and durability
