Laminated Glass: Where Security and Aesthetics Meet
Laminated glass is a safety glass obtained by combining two or more glass layers under high heat and pressure by placing a special adhesive (usually PVB - Polyvinyl Butyral) film between them. In this way, even when the glass is broken, the pieces do not separate from each other and remain suspended on the adhesive film. Thanks to this feature, laminated glass is also known as safety glass.
Usage Areas of Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is used in many different areas thanks to its safety and aesthetic features:
- Construction Sector: It is used in areas such as facade cladding, balcony railings, interior partitions, stair railings, safety glass.
- Automotive Industry: It is used in areas such as vehicle windows, side windows, sunroofs.
- Furniture Industry: It is used in many areas such as table tops, shelves, showcases.
- Security Sector: It is used in areas requiring security such as banks and museums.
Advantages of Laminated Glass
- High Security: It does not shatter when broken, reducing the risk of injury.
- Sound Insulation: Reduces sounds coming from outside.
- Thermal Insulation: Provides energy savings.
- Strong Structure: Resistant to impacts, vibrations and temperature changes.
- UV Protection: Prevents furniture and other items from fading.
- Aesthetic Appearance: It has a transparent and clear structure
Features of Laminated Glass
- Security: When broken, the parts do not separate from each other, they remain suspended on the adhesive film. This significantly reduces the risk of injury.
- Sound Insulation: The PVB film between two layers of glass reduces the sounds coming from outside by insulating the sound.
- Thermal Insulation: The air gap between two layers of glass provides energy saving by slowing down the heat transfer.
- Strong Structure: Resistant to impacts, vibrations and temperature changes.
- UV Protection: PVB film prevents harmful ultraviolet rays from entering.
- Beautiful Appearance: It has a transparent and clear structure.
