When it comes to designing modern spaces, whether residential, commercial, safety and style are both top priorities. Glass is a popular choice for walls, partitions, pool panels, overhead glazing, and more, but traditional glass can be fragile and potentially dangerous if broken. This is where structural laminated glass comes in, offering an elegant, high-performance solution that combines strength, safety, and design flexibility.
Structural laminated glass is made by bonding multiple layers of glass together with a strong structural interlayer, typically an SG interlayer. Unlike standard glass, which can shatter into sharp pieces upon impact, laminated glass holds together thanks to its interlayer, preventing dangerous shards from causing injury. Depending on the application, panels can be made from two or more layers, with thickness and interlayer type tailored to meet specific structural and safety requirements.
The main advantage of structural laminated glass is safety. Even if the outer layer is broken, the SG interlayer ensures the glass remains intact, preventing objects or people from falling through. This makes it ideal for applications like:
- Balustrades and staircases
- Overhead glazing and skylights
- Pool windows and floors
- Safe switch panels for healthcare facilities
By maintaining its integrity even under impact, structural laminated glass dramatically reduces the risk of accidents. Structural laminated glass is engineered for strength and long-term performance. The SG interlayer distributes loads across the entire panel, allowing it to withstand significant force and pressure. This durability means it can handle foot traffic, extreme weather conditions, or high-use commercial environments without compromising safety.
