You want to feel safer?

Laminated safety glass is an innovative solution that combines high durability with maximum protection for your home or commercial premises. Thanks to its special construction, where two or more glass panes are connected by an interlayer, it not only provides increased impact safety, but also protection against burglary, UV radiation and external noise. This type of glass is increasingly popular in both private homes and commercial buildings where security, comfort and durability are at the heart of every project. The following features show why laminated safety glass is one of the most sought-after solutions in modern architecture.

Laminated safety glass is a layered bonded type of glass consisting of at least two panes of glass that are laminated together with a special interlayer, usually made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). The interlayer holds the glass panes firmly together, even if the glass breaks. As a result, the shards remain attached to the interlayer, preventing them from shattering and minimising the risk of injury. For a basic level of protection against personal injury and glazing breakage, it is always necessary to choose, as a minimum, a composition where two panes of glass are joined with two layers of PVB film (for example, our Stratobel 33.2).

Impact resistance

The laminated glass is highly resistant to mechanical damage due to its construction. Even a strong impact, such as an attempted burglary or a natural disaster, will not shatter the glass into sharp fragments, and the glass remains in one place thanks to the interlayer, which significantly increases safety.

UV protection

The interlayer in laminated glass effectively blocks large parts of the UV radiation that could otherwise cause the interior materials such as furniture, flooring or curtains to fade. This extends their life and preserves their original appearance.

Better sound control

Laminated safety glass also offers improved sound insulation compared to monolithic glass. Thanks to the interlayer, it can effectively reduce ambient noises, which means improved comfort in the home or office. For increased noise insulation, you may want to consider glazing with acoustic PVB film.

Shatterproof

Upon impact, laminated glass will not crack to release sharp shards. The shards remain attached to the interlayer, which minimizes the risk of injury. This is especially important in places where children are present or in public buildings and areas with a lot of people moving around.

Can be combined with other functions

Laminated glass can be combined with other special layers, for example with solar protection (Low-E), or it can be included in double or triple glazing, which makes it a multifunctional solution for modern buildings.

Safe when cracked

The biggest advantage of laminated glass is its safety. Even if it gets damaged, no sharp shards that could injure people in the area fall off. This is extremely important in homes with children, in public buildings or in places with a high risk of impact (for example, windows to the street).

Burglar resistance

Its resistance to breakage makes the laminated glass the perfect protection against burglary. It takes much longer for burglars to break through such glass, which can deter or complicate their break-in attempt. Sometimes laminated glass can also contribute to lower insurance premiums on a house or apartment.

Protection in extreme conditions

The laminated safety glass is resistant to natural phenomena such as strong winds, storms, hail or earthquakes. It is very robust and as such it remains intact even under extreme loads, providing an additional level of protection.

Wide range of designs

Laminated glass can be produced in a variety of thicknesses and colours, providing a wide range of options for its use in modern architectural projects. Tinted versions or glass with decorative foils are also available, which can be both functional and aesthetic.

Increased property value

Installing laminated safety glass not only increases safety, but also bumps up the value of your property. Potential buyers or investors appreciate high-quality glass elements that provide greater protection and comfort.

These features and advantages make laminated safety glass the perfect solution for buildings where safety, comfort and durability of window systems are of crucial importance.
