Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is bonded together with a middle layer (such as EVA or TPU) and, if broken, the glass pieces adhere to the middle layer, preventing the glass fragments from scattering.
Advantages
- High safety: Prevents glass fragments from scattering and reduces the risk of injury.
- Impact resistance: Greater strength than regular glass.
- Sound insulation: Reduces sound transmission and annoying noises.
- UV protection: Prevents fading of interior furnishings.
- Higher security: Difficult for thieves and profiteers to pass through laminated glass.
- Design flexibility: Possibility of using colored, patterned glass or colored intermediate layers.
- Heat resistance: Relative tolerance to temperature changes.
Disadvantages
- Higher cost than regular glass.
- Heavy weight due to the presence of layers Additional.
- Possibility of separation of layers if poor quality materials are used.
- Inability to re-cut after production without special equipment.
- Relatively sensitive to severe thermal shock.
Applications
- Building facades and windows
- Bulletproof and security glass (banks, storefronts)
- Glass roofs and roof coverings
- Glass stairs and railings
- Windshields and other automotive parts
