Heat Treated Glass
In the world of modern construction, the window is no longer just an opening for light; it is a critical component of a building’s energy envelope and aesthetic identity. Among the various options available to architects and homeowners, window toughened glass in a 5mm blue-tinted finish stands out as a premier choice. It strikes a perfect balance between sophisticated cooling aesthetics and high-performance solar control.
As a leading 5mm blue tinted toughened glass supplier, Xpert Building Material (Xpert BM) specializes in delivering glass solutions that meet rigorous international safety standards while elevating the visual appeal of any project.
What is 5mm Blue Window Toughened Glass?
Window toughened glass, specifically the 5mm blue-tinted variety, is a type of safety glass that has undergone a specialized thermal tempering process. During manufacturing, the glass is heated to approximately 620°C and then rapidly cooled by high-pressure air blasts. This “quenching” process creates high compressive stress on the surfaces and tensile stress in the center, making the glass up to five times stronger than standard annealed glass.
The “Blue Tint” is achieved by adding small amounts of metal oxides (such as cobalt or iron) during the float glass manufacturing stage. For a tinted tempered glass window, this color isn’t just a surface coating; it is baked into the DNA of the glass, ensuring it never fades, peels, or scratches off.
The 5mm thickness is the industry “sweet spot”—thick enough to provide robust structural integrity for residential and light commercial windows, yet light enough to be easily handled and installed.

Features of Toughened 5mm Blue Tinted Toughened Glass
Choosing blue tinted toughened glass offers a suite of functional and aesthetic benefits that clear glass simply cannot match.
High Solar Heat Absorption
One of the standout features of blue tinted tempered glass is its ability to absorb a significant portion of solar radiation. By intercepting infrared rays, it reduces the amount of heat entering a building, which significantly lowers air conditioning costs in tropical or high-sunlight regions.
Superior Safety Profile
As a dedicated window toughened glass, safety is paramount. In the rare event of breakage, the glass fractures into small, blunt-edged granules rather than sharp, dangerous shards. This minimizes the risk of injury, making it the standard for high-traffic areas, high-rise windows, and glass doors.
Enhanced Privacy and Reduced Glare
The blue tint acts like “sunglasses for your building.” It filters out harsh sunlight, reducing glare on computer screens and televisions while providing a degree of daytime privacy. From the outside, the reflective quality of the tint makes it harder to see indoors, while those inside enjoy a cool, tranquil view of the outdoors.
UV Protection
Long-term exposure to UV rays fades furniture, carpets, and artwork. Our tinted tempered glass filters out a substantial percentage of harmful UV radiation, preserving the longevity of your interior design elements.

FAQs for Order 5mm Blue Tinted Tempered Glass
For a first-time cooperation, we are happy to provide free samples for simple products such as clear tempered glass and clear laminated glass to support our initial collaboration. However, we are unable to cover the shipping costs. We hope both sides can share some of the expenses from a partnership perspective. If this order and project move forward and we work together in the future, these costs can be fully deducted from our formal cooperation.
In general, this is not a problem. Please contact us using the form below, and our team will get in touch with you.
Additionally, please note that our partner suppliers are located in various regions across China, and the glass and aluminum factories in particular are often situated in relatively remote areas. Visiting them in person can be costly overall. If you would like to save time and effort, we can arrange to visit them on your behalf under your company’s name.
Yes, we do offer door-to-door service. We can arrange it according to your location, and the exact cost and lead time will be confirmed based on the destination and shipping method you prefer.
The shipping cost depends on the destination, product type, and shipping method (air, sea, or express).
For large or heavy items like glass, window, door, curtain wall, sea freight is usually the most cost-effective option. While international shipping can be a significant part of the total cost, we always work to find the most economical and efficient solution for our customers and can provide a detailed quotation for your reference.
For tempered glass and standard laminated glass, we generally offer a 5-year warranty. For higher-performance glass, such as insulated glass, Low-E glass, and coated glass, we typically provide a 10-year warranty.
Please note: As glass is inherently fragile, there is always a risk of breakage during transportation. Even for tempered glass, despite our use of high-quality raw glass from XYG, CSG, and PPG, and processing with advanced tempering furnaces from NorthGlass and LandGlass, there is still an approximate 0.2% risk of spontaneous breakage. If any damage occurs, we will do our best to assist you in minimizing the loss.
While it adds a cool hue, our blue tinted toughened glass maintains high optical clarity. It is like looking through high-quality polarized sunglasses—the view is often clearer because the glare is removed.
No. All cutting, drilling, and edge polishing must be completed before the tempering process. This is why we require precise shop drawings before production.
This depends on the window’s total area and the wind load requirements of your geographic location. Generally, 5mm is ideal for standard residential windows. For larger “picture windows,” we may recommend 6mm or 8mm. Our technical team can provide a load-calculation consultation.
