Overhead glazing can be designed as either structural or non-structural, depending on its location, purpose, and the specific requirements of the project. In areas where the glazing is non-trafficable, meaning no one will be walking or standing on the glass, the panel does not necessarily need to be structural. In these situations, we can incorporate our PVB interlayer, which offers excellent clarity and performance for applications where the primary function is light transmission and aesthetic enhancement rather than load-bearing capability.

For projects where the glazing will be exposed to foot traffic or must carry additional structural loads, a stronger solution is essential. In these cases, we use our SG structural interlayer, which provides superior strength, safety, and long-term durability. This interlayer is engineered to withstand significant loads, making it ideal for walk-on glass, canopies, skylights, viewing platforms, and any overhead glazing that must perform structurally.

By selecting the correct interlayer for the application, we ensure both compliance with safety standards and the highest level of performance for each unique design.
