Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is considered a safety glass – along with fully tempered glass – and is primarily used because of its safety, security and sound abatement characteristics.  This glass is particularly suitable where it is useful to maintain the structural integrity of the piece in question after breakage in such situations as store-fronts, balconies, stair-railings, skylights and.

It is used in manufacturing automotive glass, bullet resistant glass and in a variety of commercial and residential applications.

Adhering two or more pieces of glass together with a vinyl layer using heat and pressure produces laminated glass. In case of breakage, the PVB interlayer holds the fragments together and thus continues to provide resistance to the passage of persons or objects.
National glass can produce laminated glass from a minimum size of 24"x 24"to a maximum size of 84"x 144". Total thicknesses of up to 2" inches can be laminated.

Laminated glass can be manufactured using annealed, heat strengthened or tempered glass to best suit the particular application.

Vinyl thickness of .015 in (.395 mil), .030 in (.79 mil), .060 in (1.58 mil) and up are available as are a selection of tints, colours and patterns. The various combinations of glass, tints, colours and patterns create an almost limitless number of variations for use by the design community while still retaining the beneficial safety, security and sound characteristics of laminated glass.
