Toughened Laminated Glass

Toughened laminated glass is a combination of toughened glass and one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or another interlayer material. Its main difference from standard toughened glass is that it lies in the additional layer(s) of material to enhance safety and security features.

While toughened glass is known for its strength and safety upon breakage, toughened laminated glass further enhances these properties, making it suitable for applications where safety and security are paramount. Common uses include windows, skylights, facades, and areas where impact resistance and structural integrity are crucial.

Key characteristics and features of toughened laminated glass:

Safety

Toughened laminated glass remains in place even when shattered, reducing the risk of injury from sharp shards.

Security

The interlayer adds resistance against forced entry, making breakage more challenging for intruders.

UV Protection

Laminated glass can provide UV filtering, protecting interiors from the harmful effects of the sun.

Sound Insulation

The layered structure enhances sound insulation, reducing external noise transmission.

Toughened laminated glass is ideal for both residential and commercial projects due to its enhanced strength and safety features. It provides durability, transparency, and a sleek aesthetic, meeting diverse requirements in various applications.

Glass balustrades: Ensures safety with retained integrity upon breakage.
