Our Products
ORO Safety Glass aims to change this perception by providing businesses with a tough, durable material which has been designed & developed to meet industry standards via controlled measurement & testing, thus helping to build confidence towards the use of safety glass from all industries which have a need for its applications.

Tempered Safety Glass
Toughened or Tempered Safety Glass is processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatment to increase strength compared to normal glass. Tempering puts outer glass surfaces into compression and inner glass surfaces into tension. Such stress causes the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged-edge shards which common plate glass creates.
Common use: For passenger vehicle windows, shower doors, architectural glass doors & windows.
-
Heat Strengthened Glass
Heat Strengthened Glass has been heat-treated to induce surface compression. On breaking, heat-strengthened glass breaks into large pieces. Heat strengthened glass is intermediate in strength between common plate & toughened glasses.
Common use: In high wind load areas, skylights & solariums.
-
Tempered Heat Soaked
Heat Soaking is a process where tempered glass is subjected to a temperature of 290 degrees celsius for several hours in a ‘Heat Soaking’ oven. The heat soaking process reduces the incidence of spontaneous breakage caused by a compound known as nickel sulphide.
Common use: Balustrading, pool fencing, overhead glazing & commercial exterior glass doors.
-
Laminated Safety Glass
Laminated Safety Glass, which holds together when shattered, is made up of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer via a controlled industrial heating process. Various types of laminated glass can be manufactured using different glass & interlayer to produce safety glass of differing strengths.
Common use: For sound reduction, glass floors or stairs & bullet resistance.
-
Double Glazing Units
Associated with energy efficiency, Double Glazing Units, also known as insulated glazing, normally involves separating 2 glass panels of the same thickness via a vacuum or gas-filled cavity & a spacer to assist in the reduction of heat transfer or noise. Special orders may require that glass of differing thickness be used.
Common use: Windows on residential properties.
-
Ceramic Frit Printed
Ceramic Frit coatings are the most durable and cost-effective way to decorate glass with simple or complex designs. Similar to silk-screening, the process starts with a fine polyester mesh stretched over a frame to produce a high tension. Fine powder-like glass called ceramic frit, must be used to penetrate the mesh described in this process.
Common use: Interior applications including office glass door designs, shower doors & glass partitions.
