Tempered glass is stronger than normal glass, thanks of course to science. It has been put through a number of procedures so that it can take more stress and strain. This is not to say it will not break, as it will. Tempered glass is not only better because it can take a little more roughness, but it can also take temperature differences.
If you were to put a hot plate on a regular piece of glass, the temperature may cause the glass to break. But tempered glass can handle the heat, or the cold, of the situation. Glass Dining Tables are often chosen because of the versatility of this style. A table like this often coordinates with several different categories of furniture and accessories such as sofas, lamps, vases, chandeliers, and so on.
