Laminated safety glass is an A grade safety glass, consisting of two pieces of glass held together with a PVB ( Polyvinyl Butyral) interlayer. When broken the panel will stay intact adhering to the interlayer, offering a barrier to the elements and reduce the likelihood of injury.
Other benefits of laminated safety glass include:
UV Protection:
The PVB interlayer eliminates up to 99% of the sun's UV rays protecting your carpets, curtains and furniture from fading.
SECURITY:
The PVB interlayer will resist penetration when under attack, making it difficult for the entry of intruders depending on the severity of the impact, as it would be a slow and noisy process to penetrate. For further security features we can also supply 6.52mm Lamguard and 11.52mm Anti-Bandit laminated glass.
SOUND REDUCTION:
Laminated glass will improve sound reduction due to the vibration dampening effect of the PVB interlayer.

GLASS PERFORMANCE CHART DEFINITIONS
VLT
Visible Light Transmission
Percentage of visible light passing through the glass. The higher the percentage the more daylight.
VLR
Visible Light Reflection
Percentage of visible light reflected toward the exterior
U Value
Is a measure of the rate of heat gain or loss though glazing due to environmental differences between outdoor and indoor air.
SHGC
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
The proportion of total solar radiation that is transferred through the glass at normal incidence. It comprises the direct solar transmission (5) and the part of the solar absorption dissipated inwards by radiation and convection. The lower the number the better the solar performance.
Shading Coefficient
The ratio of solar heat gain through the glass relative to that through 3mm clear glass. The lower the number the better the performance.

Recommended Cleaning Routine for coated glass products.
These glass products have a very thin coating on the interior surface of the glass.
Extra care is required when cleaning:
- Any scratching will penetrate the surface of the coating and cannot be repaired.
- Any excessive mechanical treatment might remove the coating.
- Avoid all contact with metal objects.
- Avoid all chemicals that would attack the surface and damage it irreparably.
DO NOT USE:
- Any products containing hydrofluoric acid or fluorine derivatives.
- Highly acidic and alkaline products as they are abrasive.
RECOMMENDED:
- A mixture of one part vinegar with ten parts water.
- Windex Surface and glass cleaner. ( Clear liquid available at supermarkets ) Produced by SC Johnson & Son Pty Ltd.
- Use a clean, lint free towel or cloth
