*This chart is a general reference to represent the primary use for each type of interlayer. It does not indicate compliance for a specific application. Laminated glass is a<br />
component of the overall glazing system therefore the performance in a specific application is dependent upon being installed into an adequately designed frame which is<br />
then installed appropriately for the specific application.<br />
primary applications:<br />
Acoustic<br />
Laminated glass reduces noise transmission due to the sound damping characteristics of the interlayer.<br />
Aesthetic<br />
Laminated glass interlayers offer a selection of color and opacity not achievable with other glass products such as coatings, glass<br />
substrates, silk-screen or spandrel glass. This is especially true with bright, vivid colors as well as opaque or translucent / frosted<br />
aesthetic requirements.<br />
Blast mitigating<br />
Viracon provides a variety of laminated glass options that help mitigate the effects of air-blast attacks. Important note: Laminated glass<br />
is considered a component of the overall glazing system, therefore; the blast mitigating performance is also dependent upon being<br />
installed into an adequately designed frame which is then anchored appropriately to the wall structure. Viracon recommends the<br />
involvement of a blast consultant to verify the performance of the glass and framing system combination.<br />
hurricane resistant<br />
Hurricane resistant laminates offered by Viracon meet or exceed stringent building code requirements of Florida and other coastal<br />
regions. The laminated glass is a component of the overall glazing system and every Viracon hurricane resistant glass product has<br />
passed the impact and cyclic wind pressure test as part of a complete glazing system. When choosing the right hurricane resistant<br />
glass for your application, the following points must be evaluated:<br />
1. Determine the applicable building code and test method<br />
2. Determine the required design pressure/wind load<br />
3. Qualify the missile requirement - large and/or small missile<br />
