Remain Safe and Sound
Inside Your Home
Accidents and injuries involving glass breakage in the home is a part of life, but much can be done to reduce their frequency and severity by using laminated glass.
Compare Break Patterns
Laminated glass can withstand strong impacts. But what happens after glass shatter also contributes to your personal safety.
Annealed
Breakage
When ordinary annealed glass breaks, the large resulting fragments pose a threat to personal safety.
Tempered
Breakage
Tempered glass reduces risk by resisting breakage and breaks into small, benign pieces.
Laminated
Breakage
Laminated glass does more: it is the type of safety glazing that also remains intact within the window frame.
LAMINATED GLASS IS A SUPERIOR
SOLUTION TO SAFETY GLAZING
Lami + Tempered = Maximum Safety
Laminated glass can also be customized with tempered panes to provide even more protection.
