Can PinnTuff be cut or drilled after toughening?

No. Toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled after tempering, so final dimensions, holes, notches and cut-outs must be confirmed before production.

How does PinnTuff break?

PinnTuff is toughened glass, which breaks into small pieces rather than long shards.

Where is PinnTuff typically used?

Typical uses include shower enclosures, doors and partitions, balustrade infill, shopfronts and facades, and furniture and shelving.

What should I send for a PinnTuff quotation?

Send your drawing with panel dimensions, edge finish and the position of any holes, notches or cut-outs. Thickness and finish are confirmed with our team for each project.

Can PinnTuff be laminated or used in an insulating glass unit?

Toughened lites can be combined into laminated glass or insulating glass units. The build-up is agreed per project at quotation.
