What are the benefits of laminated glass?
The robust nature and thickness of laminated glass lend it a whole host of benefits:
· Increased security:
The strength of laminated glass make it almost impossible to break, so any unauthorised person would struggle to gain entry. Even if a break was to occur, the interlayers holdup the strength of the structure so that widening the gap is extremely difficult to do.
· Reduced emissions:
Low-emissivity glass can help to reduce heat gain from the sun, which allows air conditioning to be used less frequently and emissions to be reduced.
· Reduced noise pollution:
Installing a thick piece of laminated glass causes noise waves to become disrupted when they travel through the material, helping to reduce noise pollution.
· Increased safety:
As the glass doesn’t shatter when broken, there is a reduced risk of someone being cut or injured by shards of glass.
· Protection from natural disasters:
In the arrival of natural disasters or volatile weather, laminated glass will remain in its frame, reducing the risk of accidents and making a life-threatening situation slightly safer.
