Tempered glass
Heat-treated glass is designed to break into smaller pieces and is widely used for safety glazing.
Laminated glass
A bonded interlayer retains fragments and can support impact, security, sound or post-breakage goals.
Weight and operation
Laminated or insulating laminated units may be heavier and can change strut, hinge, roller and panel limits.
System requirements
Codes, impact claims and performance apply to the exact location and complete supported assembly.
