What is Laminated Glass?
Laminated Glass is a multifunctional glazing material that can be used in a variety of applications. It is manufactured by permanently bonding two or more lites of glass with layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, under heat and pressure, to create a single construction. Laminated glass products are ideal for Sloped/Overhead Glazing; Museums, Prisons, Government Buildings; Jewelry Stores, Banks, Airports; Schools, Hospitals, Hotels; Interior Partitions, Office Buildings and Safety Glazing Applications.
Laminated glass can be designed to resist attacks by a wide range of weapons.
ArmorProtect® is used where glazing is required to resist penetration for some considerable time, typically measured in minutes rather than seconds.
Laminated architectural glass may be designed to reduce solar energy transmittance, control glare and screen out ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Preferred for overhead glazing and when glass slopes >15º from the vertical; can be fabricated with our Point-Supported Canopy Systems.
Laminated safety glass is a multifunctional glazing material that when impacted, typically breaks safely and remains an integral part of the opening.
Laminated glass lites are typically manufactured with annealed, heat-strengthened or fully tempered glass.
Sound-dampening inter-layers reduce noise levels by up to 50%. Ideal for airport applications or any building in cities or near highways.
Laminated glass allows great flexibility for decorative glass. Many different effects can be created by deliberately adding other substances to the laminate.
