Laminated Glass

Laminated Glass is a sophisticated process that bonds multiple glass layers with interlayer materials to create a composite product with enhanced safety, security, and performance characteristics. When broken, laminated glass holds together rather than shattering into dangerous fragments, making it an essential component in applications where safety and security are paramount. All Glass offers comprehensive lamination services using state-of-the-art technology and premium interlayer materials including PVB (polyvinyl butyral), SentryGlas®, and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). Our laminated glass solutions address diverse requirements from basic safety applications to specialized architectural, acoustic, and security needs. Each product is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure optical clarity, structural integrity, and consistent performance.

Why Choose Our Laminated Glass

Laminated glass provides multiple benefits beyond basic glazing, including injury prevention, forced entry resistance, sound reduction, and UV filtering. Our expertise allows us to customize the lamination process to achieve specific performance targets while maintaining aesthetic quality. Whether you need hurricane-resistant windows, sound-dampening partitions, or decorative architectural elements, our laminated glass solutions deliver exceptional results.

Safety Enhancement

Laminated glass remains intact when broken, dramatically reducing the risk of injury from sharp fragments and providing continued protection even after impact damage.

UV Protection

Our laminated glass blocks up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet radiation, protecting interior furnishings from fading while still allowing natural light transmission.

Sound Insulation

Specialized acoustic interlayers significantly reduce sound transmission, creating quieter interior environments in noisy locations or providing privacy for sensitive conversations.

Design Versatility

Colored, printed, or textured interlayers enable creative design expressions while maintaining the functional benefits of laminated construction.

Planning & Strategy

Our approach to laminated glass projects begins with a detailed assessment of performance requirements and application conditions. We consider factors such as safety codes, security needs, acoustic targets, and environmental exposures to recommend the optimal glass composition and interlayer specification. This consultative process ensures that the final product precisely meets both technical requirements and design intentions.

Our work benefits

Choosing All Glass for your lamination needs delivers significant advantages throughout your project lifecycle. Our laminated glass products enhance building safety, improve occupant comfort through noise reduction, and protect interior assets from UV damage. The durability of properly manufactured laminated glass translates to lower replacement costs and extended service life. Additionally, our laminated solutions can contribute to building certification programs through their energy performance and safety characteristics.

Frequently asked questions

Understanding the capabilities and applications of laminated glass helps clients make informed decisions. Here are answers to common questions about our Laminated Glass services.

What safety standards does your laminated glass meet?

Our laminated glass products are manufactured to meet or exceed relevant industry standards including ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 for safety glazing. Depending on the application, we can also produce laminated glass that complies with specialized standards for hurricane resistance, blast mitigation, or ballistic protection. Each product is tested and certified according to the applicable requirements for its intended use.

Can laminated glass be combined with other glass types?

Absolutely. We frequently incorporate laminated glass into insulated glass units (IGUs) to provide both thermal performance and safety benefits. Laminated glass can also be tempered before lamination for additional strength, or combined with low-e coatings, reflective treatments, or decorative elements. These hybrid solutions allow us to address multiple performance requirements simultaneously.

How does laminated glass compare to tempered glass for safety applications?

While both laminated and tempered glass are considered safety glazing materials, they perform differently when broken. Tempered glass shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, but provides no barrier once broken. Laminated glass remains in place even when cracked, continuing to provide a protective barrier. For applications where maintaining the integrity of the building envelope is critical—such as skylights, overhead glazing, or security applications—laminated glass is typically the preferred solution.
