Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), between its two or more layers of glass.
2. What is Laminated Glass ?
Laminated glass is a type of
safety glass that holds together
when shattered. In the event of
breaking, it is held in place by an
interlayer, typically of polyvinyl
butyral (PVB), between its two or
more layers of glass.
The interlayer keeps the layers
of glass bonded even when
broken, and its high strength
prevents the glass from breaking
up into large sharp pieces.
3. The high strength and unique design of laminated glass
prevents it from shattering into large shards when broken. It
is made from two or more sheets of glass bonded together
with a flexible interlayer.
Laminated glass is your best option for security in the home.
It generally takes two blows to break laminated glass with
several further blows to create a hole. In contrast,
toughened glass can be accessed with a single blow of a
hammer.

7. Laminated Glass is made up of two or
more layers of glass permanently
bonded together with an interlayer via
a controlled, highly pressurised and
industrial heating process. The
lamination process results in the
glass panels holding together in the
event of breakage, reducing the risk
of harm.
Laminated Glass is classified as
Grade A Safety Glass. There are
several
laminated
glass
types
manufactured using different glass
and interlay options that produce a
variety of strength and security
requirements.
