LAMINATED GLASS
Laminated glass consists of two or more lites permanently bonded together with one or more polyvinylbutyral (PVB) interlayers using heat and pressure. The glass and interlayers can be a variety of colours and thicknesses designed to meet relevant building code standards and requirements as necessary. Laminated glass can be broken, but the fragments will tend to adhere to the plastic (PVB) interlayer and remain largely intact, reducing the risk of injury.Laminated glass is considered "safety glass" because it meets the requirements of the various European Building Regulations and Standards. Heat-strengthened and tempered glass can be incorporated into laminated glass units to further strengthen the impact resistance. Bomb blast protection, the need for sound attenuation and ballistic or security concerns are all uses for laminated glass.
