Safety Glass

Safety glass provides greater protection against personal injury and external impact than standard glass. Depending on the application, we will help you select the most suitable type of safety glass or combination of glass products to meet your requirements.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a durable plastic interlayer. It is commonly used in applications where broken glass could pose a safety risk, particularly in areas where there is a risk of falling through the glass. If the glass breaks, the interlayer holds the fragments together, helping to prevent injury.

In addition to glass railings and vehicle windshields, laminated glass is widely used in commercial buildings to improve protection against forced entry. It can also enhance the acoustic performance of glazing systems by providing improved sound insulation.

Laminated glass is also commonly used in construction and heavy machinery. If struck by flying or falling objects such as stones, the interlayer helps prevent the glass from shattering and allows it to remain in place, providing increased safety for the operator.

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is produced through a heat-treatment process that significantly increases its mechanical strength and resistance to thermal stress. During tempering, the glass is heated to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled. This creates compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress within the core, greatly improving the glass’s overall strength.

If tempered glass is subjected to an impact strong enough to overcome the surface compression, it breaks instantly into thousands of small, blunt fragments rather than sharp, dangerous shards. This greatly reduces the risk of serious injury.

Once glass has been tempered, it can no longer be cut, drilled, or otherwise processed. All machining must be completed before the tempering process.

Wired Glass

Wired glass is manufactured by embedding a steel wire mesh into the molten glass during the production process.

Under current building regulations, wired glass is no longer classified as safety glass. However, it has traditionally been used in applications where additional protection is required. If the glass breaks, the embedded wire mesh helps hold the fragments together, which is why wired glass has historically been used in fire doors, partition walls, and railing structures, particularly in public buildings.

Wired glass is available in a variety of decorative patterns and continues to be widely used in renovation projects and as an architectural or interior design feature.
