Safety glasses

Glued safety glass – LAMI GLASS

We could not imagine today’s construction industry without glass as a building material.
Specially designed modern spacious buildings with natural light require a functional glass material.
Bonded safety glass as a single material, indistinguishable from normal glass, encompasses several different design requirements of modern windows, such as solar energy gain, light control, solar energy conservation, while providing safety to building occupants.

The bonding process

Depending on the required properties of the glass, at least two panes of glass are glued together with one layer of exceptionally thick, translucent polyvinyl butyral (PVB) at permanent fixation.
Before bonding, each pane of glass and the PVB film is carefully and environmentally washed in a clean room.
Once assembled, the glass panes are permanently bonded together under elevated temperature and pressure.
In this way, multiple types, thicknesses of glass and different foil colours can be combined between the glass to produce a single pane of glass with very specific properties and different applications.

Features

• Indistinguishable from equally thick monolithic glass.
• It breaks safely, broken pieces of glass remain stuck to the middle layer, reducing the risk of cuts and stab wounds.
• It resists intrusion, providing a barrier against human and object penetration.
• When properly installed, bonded glass will generally remain in the frame even after breakage, leaving the integrity of the building and continuing to function as normal glass.
• It offers security against vandalism, deliberate physical assault, even firearms.
• Noise dampening.
• Provides safety against harmful UV rays.
• A wide range of types satisfies different design requirements.

Area of application

• In any window system.
• Roof and conventional windows.
• Glazing of areas with a risk of human intrusion.
• Glazed floors protecting individual floors.
• Premises at risk of vandalism.
• Premises that require protection against attack.
• Glass floors.
• Glazing from floor to ceiling.
• Doors, furniture and partitions.
• Aquariums.
• Soundproof glazing.
• Filtering UV rays and reducing fading of textiles.
