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 type of glass is ideal for windows and doors as it can help prevent the serious injuries that can occur when ordinary glass breaks.

Laminated glass is made up of a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sandwiched between sheets of glass. Polyvinyl butyral is a type of resin that is strong, clear, binding and adhesive. When laminated glass breaks, the broken glass adheres to the PVB and creates a web-like crack rather than shattering, breaking apart and spreading. The broken laminated glass in windows and doors remains together, making clean-up easier and helping to ensure everyone’s safety.

You can help protect yourself and your family against possible injury by replacing existing glass with safety glass. The experts at Liverpool Glass will be happy to answer all your questions and provide specialist service and high-quality replacement laminated glass anywhere in Sydney.

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

Clear laminated glass is also available in a variety of finishes, including:

• Frosted

• Tinted

• High-performance coated laminates, which can be highly beneficial in homes and business premises

• Patterned laminates

Laminated glass has multiple uses, including skylights, exterior shopfronts and areas where it is vital for the glass to remain in one piece after an impact.
