Laminated Glass
Laminated glass provides versatility, strength and aesthetic qualities that other glass products lack. It is a very flexible and installation-friendly product that can be used in a vast assortment of ways, from interior and exterior panels, ceilings and even floors.
Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheets with one or more interlayers of plastic (PVB) or resin. The result is a stronger, more durable glass that can be made reflective, have patterns, tinting, colors and even images in between layers of glass.
Decoratively, many different effects can be created by adding other substances to the laminate. Most of the decorative effects are light- and heat-stable so they can be used both inside and outside. The glass comes different thicknesses and colors, and installation is made easy due to the fact that the product can be cut, drilled, or notched on-site.
The benefits of laminating glass are numerous. Here are some of the most important structural features.
Durable- non staining full 5 year warranty against delamination and decolouration.
Safe- meets all of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.) and architectural Glazing Safety Criteria model building codes.
Secure- can be configured to protect against almost any level of threat included all 8 levels of bullet resistant glass using UL752 requirements.
Flexible- can be incorporated with all types of reeded, fluted, art and antique glass.
Compatible- completely compatible with all silicone glazing systems.
UV Protection- stops 99% of damaging UV radiation to prevent fading.
Sound Control- very effective sound reduction, particularly in the lower frequency range, providing better sound deadening than other laminate products.
Solar Energy Control- when combined with various glass types and interlayers allows optimum control over such factors as solar heat gain, emissivity, convection and light transmission.
