chipped tempered glass

We have a piece of 10mm tempered glass sized 1x2 meter and it was chipped about 10mm into the glass and about 1 meter along the edge. Our machine had been tested to temmpered glass to meet TUV standard. Does it mean that my glass is not fully tempered or it is the nature of tempered glass? Thanks to the experts.

Ex Conservatory DG panel - Solar hot water panel

I have made some solar hot water panels but am having problems with mist forming on the glass when the inside becomes hot. I am seeing a mostly dry deposit (a little greasy in areas) causing a misting. This only occurs when the temperature inside is >100 Deg C (max I have measured is 130 Deg C).

I was wondering if the problem may be agrevated by coatings on the glass, does anyone have any thoughts?

Would it be possible to remove any coatings by polishing with jewlers rouge (if it would help)?

Hi,

What glass I need to use for dance floor? Dance floor will be from glass segments (1,5m x 1,5m) and they will be placed on metal frame in about 20cm height.

Also what bout clearness of this glass will be when girls with heels dance 1 year on this floor, is there will be a lot of scratches?

thanks

PS. urgent question :)
