Toughened laminated glass is a high-strength safety glass that is engineered to provide exceptional durability and resistance to fragmentation. This specialized glass is produced by bonding two or more glass panels together with one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. The glass panels are subjected to a high-temperature process and pressure to ensure the interlayer firmly adheres to the glass surface. The resulting product is a tough and robust glass that can withstand high levels of impact and temperature fluctuations.
Toughened laminated glass has been specifically engineered to meet the high strength, structural or wind load requirements of modern architectural designs that favor larger, more open living spaces and increased natural light. Its superior strength and safety make it an ideal choice for these new design directions, as it remains intact in the event of breakage, preventing shards of broken glass from falling and potentially causing injury.
Customization options are also available, allowing for the addition of a range of colored, acoustic, and performance interlayers that provide increased strength, safety, energy efficiency, and noise reduction. For optimal performance, safety, and noise reduction, toughened laminated glass can be incorporated into a K&K Insulated Glass Unit.
