Toughened Laminated Glass

Product Description

Increasingly growing in popularity is Toughened Laminated Glass, the secret of which lies in the laminating process, the glass undergoes during the manufacture. In simple terms an interlayer is “sandwiched” between two pieces of toughened glass should the glass suffer a breakage, the interlayer ensures that the piece of glass remains in place eliminating the risk of harm from shards or large pieces becoming displaced.

Architects and builders are constantly specifying laminated glass as it provides the strength & stability of toughened safety glass whilst improving safety by retaining all broken shards when a breakage occurs.

Toughened laminated glass is often used for balustrades, balconies, and flooring due to its exceptional strength and safety features. This is popular for both homes and public spaces, as it reduces the risk of injury to pedestrians and provides a clean, sleek appearance. 

Unlike traditional glass, toughened laminated glass is highly resistant to heat and can withstand heavy impacts. In the case of a fire, this adds an extra layer of safety, slightly slowing fire from spreading so residents have more time to exit the building. 

The laminated interlayer also provides excellent soundproofing, reducing noise transmission, making it ideal for both residential and commercial spaces. This interlayer is also UV-resistant, protecting the interior of your property from sun damage. 

Available in a range of thicknesses and styles, toughened laminated glass is the perfect choice for any project. Once installed, this will elevate the look and feel of your home or office, adding a modern and contemporary touch.

What is toughened laminated glass.

Toughened laminated glass is created by combining the benefits of toughened glass and laminated glass. 

It is made of multiple layers of glass for a secure and reliable structure. Toughened laminated glass is used for areas requiring additional strength and longevity.

How is it different from standard laminated glass?

Toughened laminated glass is up to five times stronger than non-toughened glass.

It offers excellent impact resistance, and the incorporation of laminated glass provides it with great shard retention.

What benefits does toughened laminated glass offer for residential and commercial projects?

This type of glass is particularly beneficial for homes, shopfronts, office partitions, and commercial buildings. 

It offers noise reduction, enhanced safety, and UV protection, helping you create a calming environment indoors. It can also protect against strong external forces, such as harsh weather conditions.

How does toughened laminated glass enhance safety and security?

The interlayer keeps the glass in place in the event of fracture, lowering the risk of harm by stopping shards from scattering. 

This makes it ideal for places where safety is a top priority, such as public buildings, banks, and schools.

How does the noise reduction feature of toughened laminated glass work?

Compared to ordinary glass, the interlayer improves acoustic insulation by reducing sound vibrations. 

Because of this, it’s appropriate for crowded urban settings where lowering noise pollution is crucial: hospitals, schools, and offices.

Does toughened laminated glass help with energy efficiency?

Yes! Toughened laminated glass can increase the energy efficiency of a building, helping to lower energy bills.

The toughened laminated glass's interlayer offers thermal insulation by minimising heat transfer, which aids in controlling interior temperature
