Heat Soak Testing

Reducing Risk, Increasing Reliability

Heat soaking is a quality control process designed to minimize spontaneous breakage of tempered glass by detecting nickel sulfide (NiS) inclusions before installation. Our dedicated heat-soak chamber subjects each pane to elevated temperatures, ensuring consistent, long-term performance in high-stress applications.

Our heat soak chamber can accommodate glass sizes up to 126 inches by 236 inches, making it one of the largest available in the region. This capability allows us to effectively heat soak test oversized glass units, ensuring maximum safety and reliability even for your most ambitious projects.

Applications

Exterior building facades and curtain walls subject to high wind loads

Balcony railings and overhead glazing systems

Projects requiring stringent safety standards or extended warranties

Any architectural glass installations where spontaneous breakage is a concern
