How can I tell if my existing broken glass is tempered?
If your window broke like a car windshield (crumbled into a lot of small pebble-sized pieces), your existing glass is tempered. If your window shattered into sharp shards of glass, it is not tempered. If your window shattered into sharp shards of glass, it is annealed.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass consists of two or more glass sheets with one or more interlayer’s of plastic (PVB) or resin. In case of breakage, the interlayer holds the fragments together and continues to provide resistance to the passage of persons or objects. This glass is particularly suitable where it is important to ensure the resistance of the whole sheet after breakage such as: shop fronts, balconies, stair-railings, roof glazing.
Dual Pane Glass
Single pane glass is one single pane of glass that sits within your window frame. Dual pane glass is also known as an IG Unit (Insulated Glass Unit) and consists of two panes of glass with a single airspace, held together by an edge spacer — this is the most economical IGU. If one pane of your dual pane window gets broken, both panes need to be replaced, as the dual panes are part of a unit that is sealed to prevent condensation, etc.
Single Pane Glass
If you want to replace a single pane window with dual pane glass, the entire window needs to be replaced, frame and all. If you want to replace a dual pane window with single pane glass, the same procedure needs to be followed. The entire window, frame and all, will need to be replaced.
