Can laminated glass be tempered?

It’s an interesting question, and depends on different conditions, first, if the glass non laminated, we can do any processing on it, like tempering, cutting, edging, drilling holes, and so on, but if the glass is already laminated, we can not do any processing like tempering, edging, so if you have tempered requirement, need to inform us in advance, for avoid any inconvenience.

The diagram above shows schematic representations of tempered glass and non-tempered glass breakage. This does not indicate which glass is safer; it merely illustrates their respective advantages. The tempered laminated glass has a 5 times impact resistance but has a self-explosion rate, non-tempered laminated glass only has 1-2 times impact resistance, but non-self-explosion problems, so please check and use the right products in your projects.

Where is float laminated glass required?

Annealed laminated glass is a type of laminated glass where the individual glass layers are in an annealed state (i.e., they have not undergone additional heat treatment for increased strength)

• Safety Glazing: Like tempered laminated glass, annealed laminated glass provides safety benefits by remaining intact when shattered. This reduces the risk of injury from broken glass. It is used in doors, windows, and glass partitions where safety is a primary concern.
• Architectural Applications: Annealed laminated glass is used in various architectural applications, including glass walls, roofs. It enhances safety and is often chosen for its optical clarity and ease of handling during installation.
• Interior Partitions: Annealed laminated glass is suitable for interior partitions, where safety is important but the glass may not be subjected to extreme impact forces.
• UV Control: Annealed laminated glass can be designed to block UV radiation, offering protection for interior spaces and materials against the damaging effects of sunlight. This is particularly important in applications such as museums and galleries.
• Sound Control: Annealed laminated glass has some sound-dampening properties, making it suitable for applications where moderate noise reduction is desired.
• Security Windows: In residential or commercial buildings where security is a concern but the glass may not be subject to severe impact, annealed laminated glass may be used in windows to deter break-ins.
• Custom Decorative Glass: Annealed laminated glass can be used in decorative applications where safety is a consideration. It allows for the incorporation of custom designs, patterns, or interlayers for aesthetic purposes.
• Automotive Applications: While tempered glass is more commonly used in automotive windshields, annealed laminated glass may be used in other automotive applications such as side windows.

What is annealed laminated glass windows?

Combining annealed glass and laminating glass results in windows that have the enhanced safety features of laminated glass while using the annealed glass as the base material. This type of glass is commonly used in windows where safety is a priority, such as in homes, offices, and public buildings. It provides protection against injuries caused by shattered glass while maintaining the clarity and transparency of the glass.

Is laminated glass sheets expensive?

The cost of laminated glass sheets can vary based on several factors, including the type of glass used, the thickness of the glass layers, the interlayer material (such as PVB), and the size of the glass sheets. Here are some factors that can influence the cost:

• Type of Glass: The type of glass used in the laminated sheets can affect the cost. For example, using low iron glass, tinted glass, reflective glass or specialty glass types may increase the overall price.
• Thickness: Thicker glass sheets generally cost more than thinner ones. The thickness of the individual glass layers in the laminated glass will contribute to the overall cost.
• Size and Shape: The size and shape of the glass sheets can influence the cost. Flat shape will be cheaper than curved shape, and regular shape vs irregular shape is the same, custom sizes or shapes may incur additional expenses.
• Additional Features: Laminated glass can be manufactured with additional features, such as tinting, coatings for UV protection, or soundproofing capabilities. These features can contribute to higher costs.
• Manufacturer and Brands: Different manufacturers and brands may offer laminated glass at varying prices. Well-known brands are more expensive, like AGC, Guardian, Pilkington, Saint-Gobain and so on.
