Glass is rapidly becoming a popular material in architecture. However most people still regard its use in buildings and homes as relatively thin pieces of fragile glass used in windows. The construction glass is now a much specialised medium which is toughened (Tempered etc) to build strong architectural solutions that allows architects to broaden their design horizon.

With the initial popularity in automotive windshields, tempered glass is now widely used in buildings due to strength and relative cost advantage. It is made to be four times stronger than regular float glass
