Thermal Laminated Glass

Thermal insulated glass products.

Thermal laminated glass. We are proud to produce a revolutionary australian product. Glass with damaged edges will take less stress than clean cut glass. In building decorative materials 2011. As a result of this thermal treatment the glass becomes stronger not harder as you may think when you hear its name.

Laminated glass consists of two or more lites bonded together using one or more plastic interlayers using heat and pressure. Laminated glass thermal and optical properties glass technical document td 128 vitro architectural glass page 2 of 12 and should be appropriately considered. We can produce a variety of standard and heated double glazed products as well as cater for the individual s requirements and applications. Laminated glass can do its job enforcing your windows with noise and thermal insulating benefits whilst also increasing the security of your property.

Laminated glass is made by pasting pvb polyvinyl butyral resin glue film between two or more pieces of glass sheet then heating pressing and bonding them together to create flat or curved compound glass product. Depending on the process the finishing process of standard glass results in two thermal glass variants. Laminated glass has the disadvantage of being combustible due to the thin layer of plastic at its core. The glass and interlayers can be supplied in a variety of colours performance characteristics and thicknesses to provide the desired appearance and final performance in order to meet the relevant building code standards and requirements.

Regular glass doesn t combust at all but may quickly break due to thermal expansion and let air in to feed a fire. Including a structural thermally improved aluminum thermal barrier air spacer in the insulating glass can improve acoustical performance by reducing the transmission of exterior noise sources in the fenestration system. The glass sheet for making laminated glass can be ordinary glass float glass tempered glass colored glass heat. Thicker glasses are less tolerant.

But if you have open spaces around your windows where a draft enters you have an opening for sound as well. Not only standard glass but also insulating glass or laminated safety glass can be treated thermally. Laminated glass and annealed glass behave in a similar way. Glass containing wire is more vulnerable.

It consists of two layers of annealed glass with a layer of polyvinyl butyral pvb sandwiched in between. As such laminated glass isn t particularly suited to fire resistance. The edge quality of the glass can play a part. For our highest level of safety and security consider thermalsafe laminated glass.

Toughened glass is very resilient and not prone to failing due to thermal stress.
