Glass and security

Laminated

Laminated glass is another type of safety glass often used in construction and renovation projects.

It consists of two panes of annealed glass bonded together with either EVA, PVB or SGP film. When tested in accordance with AS2208, it must break safely and also pass the boil test. In terms of thermal performance, clear laminated glass only marginally outperforms clear annealed and toughened glass. However, it is probably the best product for addressing noise, safety and security concerns.

Laminated glass is extensively used in automotive windshields, especially in the front windshield to provide the desired level of safety. It provides maximum protection against impact while also eliminating shattering, since the film interlayer holds both panes of glass together.

Laminated glass clearly provides outstanding security because it takes much longer to break in through laminated glass alone, and even more so when combined with other panes of glass in a double or triple glazed unit. Ramarex windows and doors with laminated glass can substantially improve safety and security of your home and eliminate the need for expensive window roller shutters and additional security doors.
