Almost the strength of tempered glass, Heat-Strengthened glass (HS) generally fractures in a characteristic "spider web" cracking pattern and tends to remain in the opening when broken. It is intended for general glazing where additional strength and/or resistance to mechanical and/or thermal stress are desired.
Heat-strengthened glass is widely used in laminated glass when additional strength is required to protect against impact.
