LAMINATED GLASS
Laminated glass is a safety and security glass that is made by sandwiching a laminated sheet between two pieces of glass. The laminated sheet is usually polyvinyl butryl (PVB) sheet. The PVB sheet in the middle of the glass helps in sticking the glass pieces to it when the glass is broken. The laminated glass is designed to prevent it from shattering into pieces and thus ensures safety.
Benefits
- Laminated glass remains intact when broken, protecting people from injury.
- Laminated glass is very safe in overhead glazing.
- Laminated glass provides greater security and hence commonly preferred in areas that require high security, such as jewellery shops and partitions. The thick layers of glass and interlayer can help to withstand bullets and bomb blasts.
- The PVB interlayer material has visco elastic property which in turn helps in the reduction of sound acoustic insulation.
- Laminated glass reduces transmission of UV rays and hence protects the furniture from fading.
- Laminated glass reduces transmission of UV rays and hence protects the furniture from fading.
- The installation of laminated glass is similar to any other type of glass
