Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that features a multi-pane glass construction. A layer of adhesive resin is responsible for holding the glass panes together. Laminated or shatterproof glass has an exceptionally high strength value. It is mostly used in applications where a high level of security is required.

Laminated glass is mostly used for safety applications. It is widely used in building facades, architectural designs, overhead glazing, and automobile windshields. It also finds utility in high-profile applications.

Laminated glass is stronger than tempered glass. It also offers soundproofing and UV protection. However, both laminated and tempered glass is highly transparent, easy to clean and maintain. Laminated glass is popular for security applications while tempered glass is widely used in daily life applications.

Laminated safety glass is manufactured through an elaborate process and features more glass content. So it costs more than tempered glass.

The resinous interlayer in laminated safety glass also serves as a layer of insulation. It prevents the outside heat and cold from affecting the interior temperature. So along with security, shatterproof safety glass also offers great thermal insulation.

Laminated sheets demonstrate great thermal insulation properties. Lower energy is consumed in maintaining a suitable interior temperature with laminated windows. Thus laminated sheets are an energy-efficient option.
