Laminated glass is two or more sheets of glass permanently bonded together by heat and pressure with one or more polymer interlayers. Glass and interlayers are available in a variety of colors and thicknesses to provide the desired appearance and performance to meet relevant building code standards and customer requirements.
Laminated glass is a fantastic alternative to normal glass, offering a tough, robust structure that is hard to break. Laminated glass is suitable for use in many ways, and is a material that is growing in popularity.
Laminated glass provides higher mechanical resistance and security benefits. National and municipal level regulations require the use of safety glass in an increasing number of architectural applications, for which laminated glass is one of the most effective solutions. A greater demand for noise reduction in both residential and commercial builds, gives rise to increased use of acoustic laminated glass.
