Tempered glass doors for safety on all Decibel Designs stereo cabinets, DVD cabinets, and bookcases

We at Decibel Designs have only ever offered clear and gray tint tempered glass doors for our stereo cabinets, DVD cabinets and bookcases.

Tempered glass silently breaks into thousands of rounded pebbles that have safer rounded edges. Nothing like conventional annealed window glass that shatters into large, lethal razor sharp pieces.

Tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than regular glass. When we pack to ship, our glass is sandwiched between cabinet sides so it's completely protected. Our shipping solution is so successful that we go years in between damage claims.

For decades we've sourced our tempered glass from Glasswerks in Los Angeles. They consistently produce a flat pane with no visible warping or curves. If you can imagine a glass construct, these people can execute it in a timely manner.

The tempering process is essentialy a simple process, but each phase needs to be precisely controlled to get consistent results. The glass is cut to size, edges are polished, and the pane rolls into an oven where it is heated just short of melting. Then it is blasted with refrigerated air. The large random crystal matrix of annealed glass is transformed into the tiny ordered matrix of tempered glass that results in small harmless pieces when shattered.

So rest assured if you do order doors for our stereo cabinets, DVD cabinets and bookcases, the glass will be well tempered!
