Glass is a fragile material and standard float glass has low resistance to impacts. With increasing glass thickness, the resistance of the glass against impacts increases, but the risk of injury caused by glass breakage cannot be eliminated. With the secondary processes applied to the glass, safety and security features are given to the glass, the risks of injury that may occur as a result of breakage are reduced, while contributing to the protection of life and property against external impacts and attacks. Glass used in living areas must be tempered or laminated to prevent injuries caused by glass breakages.
In addition to being about 5 times more resistant to impacts than standard glass, it reduces the risk of injury by breaking into small and blunt pieces when broken.
The concept of security in glass includes the protection of life and property against attacks from outside. Glass to be used for this purpose should be laminated glass. It is formed by combining two or more glass plates under heat and pressure with the help of special binding polyvinyl butyral (PVB) layers. It does not fall apart when broken. ; in attacks and theft attempts with tools such as stones and sticks; Prevents / makes it difficult or delays ingresses, depending on the PVB, glass thickness and the size of the external impact. Glass and PVB thickness are determined according to the type of attack to be prepared for.
