What is Safety & Burglary Resistant Glass?
Laminated safety glass is a multifunctional glazing material that when impacted, typically breaks safely and remains an integral part of the opening. Impulse burglaries are resisted by the tough plastic interlayer.
Where should I use it?
Applications such as doors, sidelites, patio doors, tub and shower enclosures, etc. that must meet the requirements of the Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Materials.
Laminated safety glass is manufactured by permanently bonding two or more lites of clear, tinted, Low-E, patterned, wired or reflective glass with one more or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheets. Assembly takes place in the carefully controlled environment of a clean room, ensuring no contaminants are trapped in the product. Final bonding is achieved in an air autoclave under heat and pressure, which creates a single solid construction.
