If safety and protection are priorities, we offer a wide range of performance glass options to meet your requirements. There are two types of Grade A safety glass available. Grade A safety glass is harder to break and offers greater security against accidental injury, attempted break-ins and severe weather conditions.
Toughened Glass and Laminated Glass
Toughened glass
Heating and rapid cooling creates glass that looks like standard glass.
If broken, however, toughened glass fractures into small particles, significantly reducing the risk of injury. It’s often used in low level glazing, internal and external glass doors, showerscreens and balcony balustrades. Toughened glass also withstands temperature differentials of approximately 250°C, making it useful in bushfire applications.
Laminated glass
Laminated glass is where two sheets of glass are bonded with a clear vinyl interlayer. When subjected to impact, the interlayer means the glass remains intact and resists penetration. It will also stay in situ if broken. Depending on the level of security required there are different types of laminated glass available.
