Safety Glass
Safety glass or laminate glass utilises a polyvinyl interlayer to reinforce and increase the strength of the traditional glass material. This also ensures increased safety of your glass in case of breakage since the polymer layer will hold together the pieces of the broken glass and prevent them from causing injuries. The Australian standards AS1288-2006 recommends that safety glass be used in certain areas such as in the shop front installations.
Another type of safety glass that you can utilise is toughened glass. This has undergone increased strengthening with heat treatment. Unlike the polymer-reinforced glass where the broken pieces are held together, in case of toughened glass, the glass breaks into very tiny pieces which minimise the risk of injury.
Safety glass is an essential component in modern construction, providing enhanced safety and security. Laminated safety glass, with its polymer interlayer, offers superior protection by holding shattered glass pieces together. On the other hand, toughened glass, known for its strength and durability, breaks into small, less harmful pieces upon impact. These types of safety glass not only meet regulatory standards but also contribute to the overall safety of buildings and occupants.
