In today’s high-risk environments, compromising on safety is not an option. 12mm laminated glass panels – built as 6+0.76+6mm laminated toughened safety glass – offer unmatched protection, acoustic comfort, and design versatility for commercial spaces. Dragon Glass combines rigorous EN certifications with bulk pricing, making safety accessible without sacrificing quality.
What is 12mm thick laminated glass panel?
This specialized safety glass comprises two layers of 6mm tempered glass bonded by a 0.76mm PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) interlayer under heat and pressure. The result? A robust 12.76mm toughened laminated glass panel that holds together when shattered, preventing injuries from flying shards.
How It Works:
- Impact Absorption: The PVB interlayer acts as a shock absorber, dispersing force across the entire surface.
- Shatter Retention: Even when broken, glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, maintaining structural integrity.
- Multi-Hazard Defense: Protects against forced entry, wind-borne debris, and accidental collisions.
Certifications: Complies with EN ISO 12543, BS 6206 Class A, and ANSI Z97.1 safety standards.
Why choose 12.76mm toughened laminated glass for partitions and office doors?
1. Life-Safety Protection
- Human Impact Resistance: Withstands 150+ joule impacts (tested per EN 12600), crucial for schools, hospitals, and crowded offices.
- Post-Breakage Stability: Prevents collapse after cracking – critical for earthquake-prone zones.
- Delay Forced Entry: 5–10x longer breach time than monolithic glass, allowing security response.
2. Acoustic Insulation Excellence
- 35–40 dB Sound Reduction: The PVB layer dampens vibrations from machinery, traffic, or chatter.
- Use Case: Ideal for conference rooms adjacent to noisy production floors.
3. UV Blocking & Fade Prevention
- Blocks 99% of UV rays – protects furniture, artwork, and merchandise from sun damage.
4. Cost Efficiency Over Time
- Reduced Replacement Costs: 4x longer lifespan than standard glass due to damage resistance.
- Insurance Premium Discounts: Many providers offer reductions for certified safety glazing.

Applications
Partitions
For 6mm + 6mm laminated glass, it has very good noise control and super security, and has gradually become the choice of high-end office buildings and office spaces.
Compared with 12mm single-piece tempered glass, although the budget is higher, the comprehensive capabilities are very good.
Office doors
For office doors, if 12mm thick laminated glass panel can be used, it will also have a very good effect, because office doors are often used and touched by people. If they are damaged, the PVB film can adhere the fragments to it to reduce secondary damage.
FAQ for 12.76mm Thick Toughened Laminated Glass
Q1: How does 12.76mm thick laminated glass panel differ from standard safety glass?
A: Unlike single-pane tempered glass, our 6+0.76+6mm configuration bonds two toughened layers with a PVB interlayer. This creates “shatter adhesion” – when broken, glass fragments stick to the interlayer rather than scattering, providing superior injury prevention and security.
Q2: Can this thickness withstand hurricane impacts?
A: Not enough for outside uses, even though the policy confirms it can withstand the hurricane, but we still suggest more PVB film thickness will be better, which shall reach 2.28mm, so 14.28mm thick laminated glass or use SGP film laminated glass will be better.
Q3: Is the 0.76mm PVB interlayer replaceable with thicker options?
A: Yes! We offer 1.14mm or 1.52mm PVB for enhanced security (e.g., jewelry stores) or acoustic needs (recording studios), increasing total thickness to 13.14mm or 13.52mm, or 14.28mm.
Q4: How does it perform in fire emergencies?
A: The PVB interlayer chars rather than melts at 180°C+ , maintaining barrier integrity for 30-60 minutes (when paired with fire-rated framing). Exceeds EN 13501-2 Class E integrity standards.
Q5: Can you drill holes for door hardware post-production?
A: Not recommended. All holes/notches must be CNC-cut before tempering and laminating to prevent micro-cracks. Share your hardware specs upfront for precision fabrication.
Q6: Does the glass turn yellow over time?
A: Never. We use UV-stabilized PVB from China’s top brands, like KB, Decant, or import brands Kuraray or Saflex, guaranteed against yellowing, clouding, or delamination for 10+ years under normal conditions.
