Toughened glass is a type of safety glass that is five times stronger than annealed and laminated glass of the same size and thickness, and is also known as tempered glass after its production method. Whereas, when broken, laminated glass holds in location, toughened glass breaks into hundreds of small bits. Toughened Glass Manufacturer in Kenya by Impala Glass is best choice for commercial and residential use.
Impala Glass processes a wide range of toughened glass products from architectural to retail and domestic to a maximum size of 3000 mm wide x 2000 mm long from 5 mm up to 15 mm thick in monolithic shape.

Flexy Stacking Systems
The panels can be stored in such a way that they are out of sight or even stored in a separate location, without obstructing the entrance.
Sliding Doors
In many modern households, sliding doors are highly common and have begun a common trend in latest years. These doors can glide on door channels horizontally, often saving room. By brightening up the space while giving unrestricted access to lovely opinions, they can extend the atmosphere of your space, and boast advantages beyond aesthetics.
Sliding doors can be effective insulators to keep your house warm in winter and cool in summer. Sliding doors equipped with composite gaskets provide optimum heat insulation–efficiently acting as a weather and noise barrier and keepingdust, drafts and rain out of the house.
Automatic Sliding Doors
Automatic sliding door opens when the door controller receives an activation signal by the sensor and activate the gear motor to drive the belt and pulley. When no one is detected inside the activation area, the door starts closing after a designated period of time.
Manual Sliding Doors
Saving up to 10% of floor space compared to pivot doors, Impala Glass sliding door systems create efficient and elegant transparent openings for office fronts and small conference rooms. The hidden rollers operate on a compact track that can be mounted on a wall or ceiling.
Flexi Stack Systems
These systems provide the open shop front look. The panels are hinged together and are hung from a top track on rollers. The doors fold back against each other when opened and stack against the walls at either end of the opening.
Glass Balustrade Frameless
There are many ways to make business and residential property look elegant. Many individuals are installing glass balustrade frameless systems to embellish it in their property. There are many kinds of balustrades on the market with long-term sustainability of high-quality tempered glass, because such system fits a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.
Another reason for using glass balustrades frameless is that they are very simple to wash and keep. Glass Balustrades Frameless made of other materials such as metal or wood will end up costing much more and are also much harder to clean, primarily because they have complex designs.
At Impala Glass Industries we have an extensive range of glass balustrade styles that can be customized as a glass barrier for functionality.
Glass balustrade barriers are used in buildings for a number of purposes and allow the maximum flow of light and view for both inside and outside the structure. The four main areas that glass is used are:
- Balconies and terraces either inside or out.
- Around stairs and lifts.
- Guiding walkways to control the direction of pedestrian traffic.
Glass Facades
Glass Facades are the first esthetic feature of buildings that distinguish between buildings, and they are the most significant feature that quantifies and qualifies the building’s efficiency.
When you’re looking to build whole glass walls as part of a layout, different alternatives are available. In most cases you want the glass to be the prominent feature of the Glass façade when designing a glass wall. This implies that the framing is minimized and the biggest possible glass panes are used.
It is also possible to use toughened glass on Glass façades coupled with a multitude of accessories to offer a much more sophisticated look.
Here at Impala Glass technical specifications will be given on a project basis based on your particular project specifications, because innovative designs are constantly increasing.
Heat Resistant Glass
Heat resistant glass (HS) glass has a specifically controlled cycle of heating and cooling and is generally twice as strong as annealed glass of the same thickness and configuration. Because of the comparatively small cooling speed during the reinforcement phase, heat-reinforced glass produces less stress compared to full tempered glass. The method improves the mechanical and thermal power of heat-reinforced glass and makes it twice as hard as reinforced glass.
Impala Glass can now Strengthen Glass of 5mm/6mm Thick.
Benefits of Heat Strengthened Glass
- Heat-strengthened glass differs from tempered glass in surface compression; its mechanical strength is about 2 times that of annealed glass.
- Compared to annealed glass, Heat-strengthened glass has higher thermal stability.
- Heat-strengthened glass is 3 times more resistant to thermal stress in comparison to normal annealed glass.
- When producing Heat-strengthened laminated glass in comparison with Tempered Laminated glass, Heat-strengthened glass allows the interlayer to laminated glass to adhere more evenly because of a flatter finish surface.
- As against toughened glass, Heat-strengthened glass – with its flatter surface – also results in the facade having less optical distortions.
- This glass is difficult to break compared to ordinary annealed glass, but unlike toughened safety glass, breaks typically edge to edge and in fragments.
Applications
- Heat-strengthened glass is popular among design professionals for vertical vision spandrel areas and for laminated sloped glazing. It is valued for its mechanical strength, which is twice of normal annealed glass, though half of the fully tempered glass.
- Heat-strengthened glass has a comparatively flatter finish than fully tempered glass. Therefore, it has lesser optical distortions and can be used in places where high optical quality is required.
- It can be used for general glazing where additional strength or resistance is required for mechanical/thermal loads caused by certain tinted or coated glass. The glass can also be used in high wind load areas, but cannot be used in any safety glazing applications, due to its breakage pattern similar to annealed glass.
- Heat-strengthened glass is widely used in laminated glass for additional strength, such as in overhead and sloped glazing.
Curved Glass
Curved glass is strong and resistant to shock. It is heated to 700 ° C and quickly cooled to induce glass strength. In staircases, cabins and other interiors, this type of glass is used.
Impala Glass Industries Limited supply curved glass in Kenya providing the quality of their glass products along with functional decorative aspects. These Curved glass delivers protection from injuries by shielding from bullets or pressure waves caused by explosions.
According to the purpose of use, different types of glass may be in the process, to acquire distinct characteristics for the structures. In addition, the bending angle and bending form of the glass is strictly examined so it doesn’t affect the durability of glass. Impala Glass Industries Limited guarantees durability and class of curved glass.
