Laminated glass is also a safety glass that is made by laminating 2 or more sheets of glass with one or more flexible interlayer called PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral).  The glass and interlayer are bonded together by heat and pressure.  When a piece of laminated glass breaks, the PVB holds the fragments together.  This also acts as a barrier against penetration.

 

 


Safety

Laminated glass can resist penetration from accidental impact.  Even if the glass is broken, it will not shatter but adhere to the PVB interlayer.  This reduces the risks of personal injury or damage from falling fragments.

Security

Laminated glass offers greater resistance to penetration when subjected to attack.  Multiple layers of glass and PVB may be combined to provide resistance to bullets, bombs, burglary and forced entry.

Sound Control

Laminated glass is effective in controlling sound transmission due to the shear damping characteristics of the PVB.

Ultraviolet Screening

The PVB acts as a filter against harmful ultra-violet (UV) light, protecting interior furnishings from the fading effect of UV radiation.
