The glass business can be capital intensive, and experimenting can end up being surprisingly costly. The raw material alone is expensive, and each processing step adds value to the glass. A mistake or a problem later on in the processing can be quite costly. Especially since finding the solution can take a lot of time. It doesn’t have to be that way!
We created the #AskGlaston series so that you don’t need to solve your problems alone. Glaston and the Glastory community can help you find the solution to your problems quickly – and even save you thousands of dollars.
If you are a glass user or designer – architect or structural engineer – you can:
Ask anything from how to specify glass orders to what are the latest possibilities in glass processing.
If you are a glass processor, you can save thousands only by asking before you try. Tempering problems are usually very costly. By the time you get the glass to the tempering machine, you have already put a lot into processing the glass – cutting, grinding, drilling, painting – and you don’t want to ruin that.
Asking how to temper a new piece of glass can help you save thousands.
Look at your future needs when it comes to using or processing glass. Is there something you’re not completely sure of? If so, give #AskGlaston a try. It might end up saving you thousands!

How to get a perfect break test on 1/8 glass
To meet the break test standard EN12150-1 for 1/8” glass which is about 3 mm thick, the stress level has to be few MPa higher than in 4 mm (5/32”) glass. To get this stress level, the cooling pressure has to be about double compared to 4 mm glass and the glass temperature before quenching has to be about 5 degrees higher than for 4 mm glass.
