Laminated Glass

Liverpool Glass – Your laminated glass experts

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that, when smashed or broken, will not shatter into pieces…….instead it will hold together. For this reason, this kind of glass is great for windows and doors as it can prevent the serious injuries caused when ordinary glass breaks.

Laminated glass is made up of a polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which is layered between sheets of glass. Polyvinyl butyral is a type of resin which is strong, binding, clear and adhesive. When it breaks, the broken glass will adhere to the PVB and create a web-like crack – instead of shattering, breaking up and spreading. The broken laminated glass of windows and doors will stay together, making cleaning easier and ensuring everyone’s safety.

Now you can shield yourself and your family against possible injury by replacing existing glass with the safety glass. The experts at Liverpool Glass will happily answer all your questions and offer specialist service and high-class replacement laminated glass anywhere in Sydney.

There are different types of laminated glass. The most popular type is a standard clear laminate mostly used for domestic sliding doors, internal office partitions, office or shop windows and doors, or low-level glazing.

Clear laminated glass also comes in various finishes, including: frosted, tinted, high performance coated laminates which are very beneficial in homes or business premises, and patterned laminates.

Laminated glass has multiple uses, including: skylights, exterior shop fronts and in areas where the need for glass to remain in one piece after impact is vital.

Laminated glass is composed of several layers. For example:

• The top layer – this is glass
• The interlayer – this includes transparent thermoplastic material such as PVB, EVA or TPU
• Another interlayer – this includes LED on a transparent conductive polymer
• Another interlayer – this includes another layer of thermoplastic material such as PVB, EVA or TPU
• The bottom layer – this layer is glass
