What is tempered or toughened glass?
Tempered glass is approximatly 4 times as durable as standard glass. If the glass breaks in an unlikely event, tempered glass will shatter into small fragments instead of shap shards, making it much less likely to cause injury. Cars use tempered glass.

Our aluminum trim is riveted and glued to the perimiter of the glass, with an internal steel frame to protect the edges of the tempered glass.

What's the difference between "hot dipped galvanized steel" and "zinc electroplated steel?"
Hot dipped galvanizing (PROview) is coating the steel with a layer of zinc (galvanize.) The entire pole, inside and outside, is dipped into melted zinc. The bond is very strong and can't be peeled away. Zin plating, or electroplating (PROforce, PROclassic, & other steel components) has zinc applied using a current of electricity which is a thinner coat than hot dip galvanizing.
