How it is processed

Step 1
Temper
Glass is cut, edged and tempered first.
Step 2
Load
Toughened panes are loaded into the heat soak chamber.
Step 3
Soak
Panes are held in the chamber to screen for inclusions.
Step 4
Unload
Panes that survive are inspected and released.

Heat soaking reduces the risk of breakage. It does not eliminate it.
