Laminated Glass offers superior safety and security features, making it ideal for high-risk areas.
Glass is an integral part of modern architecture, and, due to its versatility, it is used in a wide variety of applications. One of his glasses that has gained popularity in recent years is laminated glass. Let us show you about laminated glass, its features, benefits, and applications.
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that consists of two or more glass layers joined by an intervening layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The PVB or EVA layer acts as an adhesive, holding the glass layers together even if the glass breaks.
Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of PVB or EVA between two or more layers of
glass. The layers are then heated in an autoclave and pressed together. Autoclaves apply
pressure and heat to melt the PVB or EVA and bond the layers of glass together. The resulting
laminated glass is a strong, durable, and safe material.
What are the advantages of laminated glass?
Laminated glass has several advantages, such as:
Safety
Laminated glass is resistant to breakage, making it ideal for applications where safety is a top
priority. The PVB or EVA layer provides an additional layer of protection against forced entry,
making laminated glass ideal for windows and doors in high security areas.
Sound Insulation
Laminated glass also acts as an effective sound barrier, reducing noise transmission between
different areas. This property makes laminated glass ideal for applications where soundproofing
is essential. B. Recording studios, concert halls, airports.
UV protection
Laminated glass also provides protection from harmful UV rays. The PVB or EVA layer of laminated
glass can block up to 99% of UV rays that can fade or damage furniture, carpets and other
materials.
Laminated glass has a wide range of applications, including:
Automotive Industry
Laminated glass is commonly used in the automotive industry for windshields and side windows. The safety properties of laminated glass make it ideal for use in vehicles.
Construction
Laminated glass is also widely used in the construction industry. Used for windows, doors, skylights and curtain walls in commercial and residential buildings. The safety properties of laminated glass make it ideal for use in buildings.
Handrail
Laminated glass is also commonly used in building railings. The safety properties of laminated glass make it ideal for applications where people are in close proximity to the glass.
Glass floor
Laminated glass can also be used for glass floors. The safety properties of laminated glass make it ideal for use in high traffic areas where safety is a concern.
Laminated glass is a versatile, durable and safe material that offers a variety of benefits and applications. Its safety properties make it ideal for use in a variety of applications such as automotive, construction and high traffic areas.
