Why Choose Laminated Safety Glass for Your Home or Building
When safety and performance matter, laminated glass is the smart choice. Unlike standard glass, laminated glass is engineered to help stay intact, even after impact, making it ideal for homes, commercial spaces, and high-traffic areas. It combines strength, security, and style—perfect for modern living.
What is Laminated Glass?
Laminated glass is made by bonding two or more layers of glass with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. This design creates a strong barrier & if broken the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, reducing the risk of injury and maintaining security.
Why Laminated Glass is Essential
Laminated glass offers multiple benefits beyond basic safety:
-
Enhanced Safety: Prevents shards from scattering, minimizing injury.
-
Security Protection: Acts as a deterrent against forced entry.
-
Noise Reduction: The PVB interlayer helps dampen sound, improving acoustic comfort.
-
UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reducing fading of interiors.
-
Compliance: Meets Australian Standards AS 2208 for safety glazing.
-
Energy Efficiency: Low-E laminated glass reduces heat gain and loss, improving thermal performance and supporting compliance with energy ratings.

This configuration is a common replacement without major modifications, making it a practical choice for homeowners and builders.
