LAMINATED GLASS
Laminated Glass
When it’s time to purchase and install windows and other glass products, homeowners and business owners in the Los Angeles area have a number of pressing requirements to consider. The short list of these requirements includes the need to control light and temperature, as well as the need to prevent serious harm from glass broken during accidents, storms and even earthquakes. A time-tested product called laminated glass is often the perfect solution for both home and business use. Count on the experts at Economy Glass Co. West to provide you with stock and custom laminated glass that meets and exceeds the rigorous demands of Southern California’s unique climate.
What Is Laminated Glass?
Laminated glass is a more durable product than tempered glass, and is specifically intended to diminish or eliminate the creation of harmful shards during breakage. Each piece of this glass contains at least two individual layers of annealed or tempered glass separated by a synthetic material such as PVB (polyvinyl butyrate) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate). This material essentially bonds the glass layers together and stops pieces from breaking off and forming loose shards. When shattered, laminated glass typically holds any shards in place and absorbs the force of impact by developing a characteristic “spider web” fracture pattern in one or more of its layers.
While it provides a host of benefits for both homeowners and business owners, laminated glass is notoriously difficult to cut. That’s because anyone cutting this material must penetrate at least two layers of glass, as well as the synthetic material sandwiched between the glass layers. A custom glass company specializing in laminated glass products must employ experienced professionals who know how to work with this material and handle its specific quirks and tendencies.
