Tempered Glass, other known as Safety Glass, is a remarkable product for consumers. By heating, cooling and quenching glass, the product becomes many times stronger than normal plate glass. However due to it volatile nature, when broken, it shatters into many small particles. Of which does not lacerate as badly as plate glass. First introduced in automobiles in the mid to late 50's, tempered glass enabled emergency crews and firefighters the means of extracting people from cars much easily than cutting though laminated glass. Since then the tempered glass market widened into the auto and flat glass industry. It is now used in patio sliding doors, storefronts, table tops, and fireplaces. Just imagine your child running to the front door of the house, only to meet a screened in door with glass that is plate. Tempered was introduced to protect this child from getting severely lacerated from broken plate glass. For more information and specs on tempered glass, click here.

The major cause of breakage is when during a storm, consumers leave the umbrella in the table, thus during hi wind tip the table over and breaking the glass. PLEASE REMOVE YOUR UMBRELLA AT ALL TIMES WHEN NOT USING THE TABLE TO PREVENT THIS. These units when made separately could cost between $200-500 dollars, plus oversize shipping cost.
