Heat Treated Glass
In modern architecture, the balance between aesthetic brilliance and structural integrity is non-negotiable. Our EN12150 certified 8mm blue tinted tempered glass stands at the intersection of these two worlds.
Designed to provide superior solar control while adding a sophisticated “ocean-cool” aesthetic to any facade, this glass is the go-to choice for developers seeking cost-effective yet high-performance glazing.
What is 8mm Blue Tinted Tempered Glass?
8mm blue tinted tempered glass is a type of high-strength safety glass that has been treated with metal oxides during the float process to achieve its signature blue hue. This “body-tinted” glass then undergoes a thermal tempering process, heating it to approximately 650°C and rapidly cooling it.
The result? A tuff glass panel that is 4 to 5 times stronger than standard annealed glass. It doesn’t just look stunning; it is engineered to withstand high wind loads and significant thermal stress, making it an essential component for modern windows and doors.

Features of Blue Tinted 8mm Safety Glass
Choosing 8mm safety glass in a blue tint offers functional advantages that go far beyond mere decoration:
Superior Thermal Performance: The blue tint acts as a natural filter, absorbing a significant portion of solar energy and reducing infrared transmission. This helps maintain cooler indoor temperatures and lowers HVAC costs.
Glare Reduction: It provides a comfortable visual environment by softening harsh sunlight without sacrificing natural light.
Enhanced Safety (EN12150 Standard): Upon impact, this 8mm heat tempered glass fractures into small, blunt granules rather than sharp shards, drastically reducing the risk of injury.
UV Protection: Our tinted process filters out harmful UV rays, protecting your interior furniture, carpets, and artworks from fading.
High Structural Strength: With an 8mm thickness, these panels offer excellent resistance to bending and impact, ideal for high-traffic or high-wind areas.

FAQs for Order 8mm Blue Tuff Glass Panel
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.
No. Tempered glass cannot be cut or drilled once the tempering process is complete. We provide full CNC customization based on your shop drawings before the heat treatment.
Yes. The color is “body-tinted,” meaning the pigments are melted into the glass itself. It will never fade, peel, or scratch off like films do.
Our 8mm blue tinted tempered glass significantly outperforms clear glass in terms of Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The blue tint absorbs a larger portion of the solar spectrum, particularly infrared radiation. This reduces the amount of heat entering the building, which is essential for large-scale windows and doors in warmer climates to reduce energy consumption.
The difference lies in the Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) and aesthetics. Ford Blue (often called Light Blue) offers a brighter, more transparent look with higher light entry. Dark Blue provides deeper privacy and superior glare reduction. Both versions offer the same structural strength and 8mm heat tempered glass safety ratings.
