Why Use Laminated Glass in uPVC Windows and Doors

Laminated glass in uPVC Windows and doors are a barrier between the outdoor and your home, keeping the dust, dirt, and intruders out and away. Meanwhile, they give you a complete vision of the world outside. Since apparently, that’s all that doors and windows do, then why the experts recommend using a glass that’s been laminated along with tempering. Well, there are two reasons for this – safety and security. Interesting to know how? Wait, let’s first understand what is laminated glass.

What is Laminated Glass?

Laminated glass is made by bonding one or two layers of glass with a layer of resin, commonly polyvinyl butyral (PVB). The PVB is the interlayer that holds the glass layers together, even when the glass breaks or impacted by a great force. The process of producing laminated glass involves bonding these glass layers and the interlayer under heat and pressure. This produces compact glass that holds in place rather than shatters when hit by attackers and buglers.

Safety Comes First

Imagine you accidentally run your hand over a broken window pane or your kids walk over the shattered pieces of the glass door. It would be quite terrible. So how do you prevent it? As mentioned earlier, the laminated glass doesn’t break into little pieces and spread everywhere. Rather, the broken glass remains intact due to the thin film between two sheets of glass. Therefore, laminated glass ensures the safety of the people around even when it’s damaged.

Secure Your Place

Laminated glass is deemed strong since it can stand the force of a rock or bullet without shattering and falling off the window or door frame. Its strength can be attributed form the glass layers and the resin used as the interlayer. The glass is up to 5 times stronger and 100 times stiffer than the standard glass. With laminated glass windows, you are provided with the maximum amount of protection that a residential window can offer.
