In properly designed glazing systems, laminated glass effectively withstands these natural forces to help maintain the critical exterior envelope.
In addition to the safety and security benefits it affords, laminated glass also contributes to the comfort and well being of building occupants in terms of daylighting, sound control, solar / UV control, structural enhancement and aesthetics.
Structural glazing is becoming more popular for use in stairs, walls, floors, ceilings, canopies and balconies. For these applications, structural glazing must meet the required standards and code requirements to be a viable material option for the project.
