Safety Glasses

Laminated glass is a safety glass used extensively around the world in a wide range of applications.

Formed by sandwiching two or more sheets of either annealed or toughened glass around an PVB interlayer, laminated glass will remain in place even when broken. This makes it ideal for glazing applications such as glass balustrades, glass partitions, rooflights, curtainwalls and architectural glass where there is a high risk of injury in the event of a breakage.

Laminated glass can also be valuable in decorative applications, such as glass splashbacks in the kitchen or bathroom, where a tinted laminate layer can be used to colour the glass. PVB laminated glass is also a good UV filter and can be used in situations where this aspect is of essence.

There are a number of glass interlayer solutions, each with unique benefits:

PVB Interlayer 

PVB (polyvinyl butyrain) interlayered glass is a quality architectural and security glass with increased strength for use in commercial and domestic installations.
