Hello Heidi,

Sicherheitsglas - und hier handelt es sich um ESG-Glas - ist eigentlich gehärtet.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicherheitsglas

Im englischen Sprachraum wird Sicherheitsglas mit Handelsbezeichnungen wie safety glass, security glass, toughened glass oder shatterproof glass bezeichnet.

Allerdings war ich vom Anfang an nicht sicher, ob hier fest im Sinne von toughened oder fixed gemeint ist. Momentan neige ich eher zu fixed, also:

fixed glass panel.
