Laminated Glass Vs. Tempered Glass
What is Laminated Glass?
In case of breakage, laminated glass holds together when shattered. An interlayer holds it. It is typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) between its two or more layers of glass.
The interlayer keeps the glass pieces together, preventing them from shattering and causing potential harm. Laminated glass is made by bonding two or more layers of glass together with a thin layer of plastic in between. It helps to make the glass more potent and more shatter-resistant.
What is Tempered Glass?
Tempered glass is a safety glass strengthened through a heating and cooling process. As a result, it is about four times stronger than regular glass and does not break into sharp shards when shattered.
When the tempered glass breaks, it breaks into small, blunt pieces less likely to cause injury.
Tempered glass is created by heating the regular glass to a very high temperature and rapidly cooling it. It makes the glass four times stronger and helps prevent it from shattering into dangerous shards if it breaks.
In general, laminated glass and tempered glass have many similarities, but several key differences exist between the two materials. For example, laminated glass is stronger and more impact-resistant than tempered glass, and it typically has a longer lifespan. Laminated glass is also usually more transparent than tempered glass.
