Laminated glass is composed of two or more layers of glass bonded by a plastic interlayer, usually PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or SGP (ionoplast). Even if broken, the glass remains adhered to the interlayer.
Key Features
High impact resistance
Shatter-proof and anti-theft
Excellent sound insulation
UV filtering
Customizable with color films or printed interlayers
Applications
Skylights and overhead glazing
High-rise building facades
Banks, airports, and public buildings
Sound barriers and automotive windshields
Floor panels and stair treads
Subtypes
Tempered laminated glass
Insulated laminated glass
Bent laminated glass
Colored or tinted laminated glass
Printed laminated glass
Low-E laminated glass (for energy-saving)
