Unlock the secrets behind the strength and versatility of security glass in this comprehensive guide.
Security glass, also known as safety and security glass, is a type of glass that is designed to provide increased resistance to breaking and shattering. There are several different types of security glass available, including laminated glass, tempered glass, and bullet-resistant glass.
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is made by sandwiching one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or other interlayer material between two or more sheets of glass. The interlayer holds the glass together if it is shattered, preventing it from breaking into sharp, dangerous pieces. This feature makes laminated glass an ideal choice for applications where safety and security are a concern, such as in automotive windshields, building facades, and skylights.
Glass entrance systems refer to the use of glass as a material for creating entrance systems in buildings, such as doors, windows, and storefronts. Glass entrance systems are popular in modern architectural designs and can provide numerous benefits, including:
Commercial laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is commonly used in commercial buildings, such as offices, schools, and retail stores. It is made by bonding two or more layers of glass together with a layer of plastic (usually polyvinyl butyral) in between.
Security glass or Safety Glass is a broad category of fortified glass that is used to help resist breakage when encountering projectiles, natural disasters, and even explosions. They consist of laminated glass systems, meaning that two or more sheets of glass are permanently bonded together by an interlayer (see Laminated Glass products page for a more detailed product description). By modifying the heat-treatment of the glass, the number of panes and the interlayer material, various levels of strength and resistance can be achieved.
