Laminated Glass
Know Your Laminated Glasses
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered.
This product is normally single, double or triple-laminated. The number indicates the number of interlayers used in the product.
Glass with multiple layers is used for specialized applications like bullet-proof, sound insulation, etc.
In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), or Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), between its two or more layers of glass.
The inter-layer keeps the layers of glass bonded even when broken, and its high strength prevents the glass from breaking up into large sharp pieces.
Laminated glass is normally used when there is a possibility of human impact or where the glass could fall if shattered and also for architectural applications. Skylight glazing and automobile windshields typically use laminated glass. In geographical areas requiring hurricane-resistant construction, laminated glass is often used in exterior storefronts, curtain walls and windows.
