Toughened or tempered glass is heat-treated and is 4-5 times stronger than its equivalent counterpart glass. Upon breaking, toughened glass will shatter into cuboid fragments, thus reducing the chance of significant injury.

Laminated glass comprises of two glass sheets bonded together with an interlayer of PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or more simply, a plastic layer. Upon breaking laminated glass may crack but will remain intact within the frame, thus limiting the chance of injury. It also enables the glass to remain in place, acting as a safety barrier to external elements until replaced.
