LAMINATED GLASS

INTRODUCTION

Laminated Glass is made up of two or more sheets of glass bonded together with a clear or colored polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayer. Various transparent or translucent shades and color can be achieved by using different colored PVB. After the plastic has been placed between the glass sheets, the whole assembly is subjected to heat and pressure. This results in the complete adhesion of the vinyl and the glass. In the event of breakage, the glass fragments remain bonded to the PVB. If the glass breaks, the fragments of glass are held in place by the PVB interlayer(s). In fully framed installations the broken glass retains residual strength while awaiting replacement.

PROTECTION AGAINST INJURY

If the glass breaks, the fragments of glass remain bonded to the interlayer. This safety feature, which is often mandatory (for example: in public buildings, schools, crèches, etc), is also ideal for residential buildings, where it protects the occupants.

PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE

Silence laminated acoustic and safety glass can be used in applications where high acoustic insulation is essential (e. g. interpreting booths , residential areas in close proximity to airport, towns or city centers ,railway lines or motorways ,etc), without compromising the safety performance. 

PROTECTION AGAINST

VANDALISM & BURGLARY

installed in an appropriate frame, can be an important deterrent to ensure the security of property and occupants in a building. Combined with additional protection, if required, this glass can be used in shop windows and doors, entrance doors and windows in offices appropriate to the specified level of protection.
