What are Laminated Glass Windows?
Windows and units made from laminate glass are made from two panes of glass, joined together by a thin vinyl film. This means that they are slightly thicker than other styles of glass but can still comfortably fit in all manner of properties.
Laminate glass is most commonly used in the windscreens of cars to prevent further injury in the event of a serious collision. They are also a popular choice for storefronts to prevent entry even if the glass becomes seriously damaged.
What are The Benefits of Laminated Glass for Windows?
These highly-resilient glass panes can offer a wide range of benefits when installed correctly. Just some of the reasons they are used in such a variety of locations include:
Regular safety standard glass is vulnerable to breaking following heavy impacts. This means that thieves can easily access your home or business simply by breaking a glass pane. Additionally, safety standard glass can be dangerous when it breaks. A badly-aimed football can cause your windows to break and sharp shards of glass to fall into your home or business.
Laminate glass is not only more difficult to break, but when it does break it denies entry. The hard-wearing layer of vinyl will not break when the glass does but remain a solid deterrent to any illegal entry. It can also prevent glass from entering through the damaged area, reducing the risk of injury.
Any shards of glass will, in most cases, remain stuck to the vinyl. This prevents the damaged glass from causing any health hazards in the area around the break. You won’t need to spend time clearing up all the broken glass; instead, you’ll be able to call the S&T Glazing immediately for complete repair or replacement services.
In the past, burglars have used glass cutters to gain access to residential and commercial properties. Laminated glass windows can’t be cut in this way due to the thick vinyl layer. This prevents one of the most common means of illegal entry into retail outlets.
Just like with certain types of double glazing, laminated glass adds an extra layer of sound-proofing to your home or business. This can help to create a more comfortable and welcoming space in which you can spend your time. This is important for residential properties. In commercial outlets, it allows your customers to browse your wares and shop in peace.
What’s the Difference Between Laminated Glass and Toughened Glass?
Laminated glass is designed to prevent entry to your property and remove the risk of cutting yourself on broken glass. However, it is slightly easier to damage following heavy impacts. The vinyl will prevent loose glass from spreading in the local area, causing a health and safety hazard to yourself, your family, your customers or employees.
By comparison, toughened glass is harder to break. It is up to five times stronger than most other forms of glass. However, it is vulnerable to glass cutters. If toughened glass panes do break, they will break up into smaller shards of glass. These are less dangerous than shards from standard safety glass.
