Laminated glass

comprises of two or more sheets of

glass

and a PVB (polyvinylbutryal) interlayer which are permanently bonded together under heat and pressure to form a single piece. The major feature of

laminated glass

is it's ability to remain intact when breakage occurs. The

glass

fragments are held together by the interlayer reducing the likelihood of injury. Other benefits of

laminated glass

are: security; heat & glare control; UV elimination; and sound reduction.

These

many features along with the durability and versatility of

laminated glass

allows its use in a wide range of residential and commercial applications, from windows and doors through to lift wells and swimming pools.
