laminated GLASS
LAMINATED
The most common laminated glass units are constructed with two plies of
glass permanently bonded together with one or more interlayers. The most
important characteristics of laminated glass are fall-out protection due
to the ability of the interlayer to support and hold the glass when broken
as well as the reduced ability to penetration the opening. The ability to
resist various kinds of penetration is dependent upon a number of factors
including thickness of the glass and the type of interlayer selected. For
additional information regarding the interlayers Viracon offers, please refer
to the interlayer component page.
Laminated glass also offers a greater availability of coatings than monolithic
glass. Low-E coatings which cannot be exposed, and therefore cannot be
used with monolithic glass, can be used inside a laminated unit where they
are protected.

Interlayer
Laminated glass units also have more aesthetic possibilities than monolithic
glass. The interlayers used in laminated glass are available in a variety of
colors and opacities. In addition, the Low-E coating and silk-screen pattern,
if desired, are applied to the exterior ply of glass leaving the interior ply
available for additional treatment. For a spandrel location, a full coverage
opaque ceramic frit can be applied to the inner face (surface #4). For vision
areas where daylight is desired but view through needs to be minimized, a
translucent ceramic frit can be applied to surface #3.
