VTough Toughened Glass
Description

VTough™ is Viridian’s high-strength safety glass solution, designed to be significantly tougher and more resilient than ordinary glass. Toughened and tested to meet the AS/NZS 2208 Grade A safety standard, VTough™ offers enhanced durability, impact resistance and safety performance, breaking into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards if damaged.

It’s suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications where safety and strength are priorities, from splashbacks and balustrades to shopfronts and shower enclosures. The product is locally processed in New Zealand and supports greater design flexibility than ordinary glass.

Key Features
  • Long-lasting Durability – Toughened to resist thermal breakage and impacts from soft objects, making it last significantly longer than ordinary glass.
  • Safety & Security – In the rare event of breakage, VTough™ crumbles into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards, reducing injury risk.
