Laminated glass, as a kind of safety glass, will not produce sharp fragments after being broken by the impact due to the bonding effect of the PVB film sandwiched between two pieces of ordinary glass. This effectively prevents the occurrence of debris puncture and penetration and falls, and ensures personal safety.
In the field of architectural glass doors and windows, in addition to providing safety, laminated glass has three major advantages:
Excellent Sound Insulation Performance
Generally, the interlayer material of architectural laminated glass adopts PVB interlayer, and the PVB film has the damping function of filtering sound waves (reduces the volume transmission by reducing the vibration amplitude of the sound). Therefore, if you live in a place with severe road noise, it is right to choose a laminated glass with a PVB film thickness of 1.14 mm.
Excellent UV Protection Performance
The PVB interlayer also has the function of filtering ultraviolet rays. Data shows that the PVB film can absorb more than 99 percent of the ultraviolet rays, thus protecting indoor furniture, plastic products, textiles, carpets, and artworks, from fading and aging from ultraviolet radiation.
Good Energy Saving Performance
Because the laminated glass made of PVB film can effectively reduce the penetration of sunlight, the deeper the color and the lower the light transmittance, the stronger the ability of the laminated glass to block heat. Therefore, if there is enough light in the home, you may wish to choose laminated glass with medium light transmittance (50 percent to 70 percent ).
