The Ultimate in Security and Soundproofing
Standard glass breaks easily. Even tempered glass falls out of the frame when shattered. For homeowners concerned about forced entry, street noise, or UV fading, Laminated Glass is the superior choice. It consists of two sheets of glass bonded permanently to a tough plastic interlayer (PVB). If broken, the glass adheres to the plastic, maintaining the integrity of the opening. Installix offers laminated glass supply and installation for windows and doors where security and silence are paramount.
Three Key Benefits of Laminated Glass
1. Security (Anti-Burglary)
A burglar cannot easily smash through laminated glass. It acts like a car windshield; it may crack, but it won't yield. This forces intruders to spend minutes hammering at the glass to create a hole, acting as a massive deterrent.
2. Sound Reduction
Living near a highway, busy street, or airport? Laminated glass has a different frequency resonance than standard glass. The PVB interlayer dampens sound vibrations, reducing perceived noise by up to 50% compared to standard thermal units.
3. UV Protection
The interlayer blocks 99% of harmful UV rays. This protects your expensive hardwood floors, artwork, and furniture from fading over time.
The Solution: Retrofit Upgrades
You don't need new window frames to get security glass. We can replace your existing standard thermal units with new units featuring one pane of laminated glass (usually on the exterior or interior depending on the goal). It fits right into your existing Vinyl or Wood sashes.
Why Choose Installix?
- Custom Thickness: We calculate the overall unit thickness to ensure the laminated upgrade still fits your glazing beads.
- Commercial Strength: We use high-quality 0.030 or 0.060 PVB interlayers for maximum resistance.
- Emergency Stock: We stock sheets of single-pane laminated glass for immediate cut-to-size emergency repairs.
