UV Protection: Laminated glass can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting interiors from fading and providing added comfort in sunny environments.
Security: Due to its multiple layers and the strong bond between glass and PVB, laminated glass is much harder to penetrate, making it suitable for use in security applications like bank windows, storefronts, and vehicle windshields.
Durability: Laminated glass is resistant to environmental factors such as wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. It also performs well under impact, making it ideal for areas prone to extreme weather or potential vandalism.
Applications of Laminated Glass:
Automotive Industry: Laminated glass is commonly used for car windshields. In the event of an accident, the glass doesn’t shatter, reducing injury risks and keeping the driver shielded.
Architectural Use:
Skylights: Prevents falling glass in case of breakage.
Curtain walls: Adds an extra layer of safety and insulation.
Balustrades and Railings: Laminated glass is frequently used in glass railing systems for balconies or staircases due to its strength and security.
Security: Laminated glass is used in doors, windows, and facades of buildings to prevent forced entry or damage due to high impacts, explosions, or bullets in specific cases (e.g., bullet-resistant laminated glass).
Glass Floors and Staircases: Laminated glass can also be used in flooring or staircases for aesthetic purposes while providing safety and support.
Soundproofing: It’s used in places like conference rooms, airports, and homes where reducing noise pollution is important.
Variations:
Colored Laminated Glass: Different colors can be added to the interlayer for decorative purposes.
Bulletproof Laminated Glass: This type uses multiple layers of glass and PVB to provide resistance to bullets and high-impact forces.
Tempered + Laminated: Sometimes laminated glass is combined with tempered glass for additional strength and safety.
Advantages:
Enhanced Safety: Laminated glass holds together when shattered, preventing injury.
Security: Its strength makes it harder to break through, enhancing security in homes and businesses.
Sound Control: The PVB interlayer absorbs noise, improving sound insulation.
UV Protection: It reduces harmful UV exposure, protecting interiors from fading.
