ARMOURPLATE^®

toughened safety glass

Armourplate^®  toughened safety glass is ideal for bolted structural glazing and frameless applications. Superb resistance to thermal stress also allows Armourplate to be used in applications such as refrigerator and oven doors, where ordinary annealed glass would be likely to fracture. Armourplate is available in a range of thicknesses and various colours. Armourplate meets the safety glass requirements of the South African National Building Regulations.
