Laminated glass consists of a tough protective interlayer made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) bonded between two panes of glass under heat and pressure. Once sealed together, the glass "sandwich" behaves as a single unit and looks like normal glass. Annealed, heat strengthened or tempered glass can be used to produce laminated glass.
Laminated glass may crack upon impact, but the glass fragments are held by the protective interlayer rather than falling free and potentially causing injury. It is the only glass to provide durability, high-performance and multi-functional benefits while preserving the aesthetic appearance.
Common Thickness Combinations:
- 6.38mm (1/4") = 3mm glass + 0.38mm PVB + 3mm glass
- 6.76mm (1/4") = 3mm glass + 0.76mm PVB + 3mm glass
- 7.52mm (1/4") = 3mm glass + 1.52mm PVB + 3mm glass
- Standard Sizes: 3300*2140, 3660*2140, 1840*2440, 1830*1220, 1650*2200mm
Multi-purpose Applications:
Functional laminated glass is made by laminating PET, PC board, paper, silk, cloth, wire mesh, and other materials through EN film or EVA film between multiple glass sheets before heating and evacuating.
Tinted Options:
Available in various colors including white, translucent, red, blue, green, bronze, black, and grey. This can be achieved using color PVB with clear glass or clear PVB with colored glass panes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the main benefit of laminated safety glass?
The primary benefit is safety. When broken, the PVB interlayer holds the glass shards together, preventing them from falling and causing injury, while maintaining a barrier against entry.
Q2: Can laminated glass be used for bullet-proof applications?
Yes, depending on the thickness and the number of layers of glass and interlayer, specialized laminated glass can be designed for bullet-proof and high-security functions.
Q3: Is laminated glass effective for sound insulation?
Yes, the PVB interlayer has sound-dampening properties, making laminated glass significantly more effective at blocking noise than standard monolithic glass.
Q4: Does laminated glass provide UV protection?
Laminated glass filters out nearly 99% of damaging UV rays, which helps in protecting interior furniture and carpets from fading.
Q5: What are the typical delivery times for orders?
Standard production and dispatch typically occur within 15 days, ensuring efficient project timelines for our global clients.
Q6: Are custom sizes and colors available?
Absolutely. We provide a wide range of tinted options (Bronze, Grey, Blue, Green, etc.) and can cut the glass to any specific size requested for windows, doors, or furniture.
