Glass Doors
Glass doors, also called “lited” doors, include panes of glass allowing light to pass through the door. Glass doors are typically made with individual lites – each pane enclosed and sealed. Glass doors can be also combined with solid panels. Insulated glass is also an option.

Tempered Glass:
Tempered glass is four times stronger than annealed glass. Fully tempered 6-mm thick glass must have either a minimum surface compression of 69 MPa (10,000 psi) or an edge compression of not less than 67 MPa (9,700 psi).
To be considered as safety glass, the surface compressive stress should exceed 100 megapascals (15,000 psi). As a result, when broken the glass breaks into small rounded chunks as opposed to sharp jagged chards.
Compressive surface stresses give tempered glass increased strength.
Annealed Glass:
Annealed glass has almost no internal stress and usually forms microscopic cracks on its surface. Tension applied to the glass can initiate crack propagation. Consequently, annealed glass is fragile and breaks into irregular and sharp pieces.
