Selecting the right impact resistant glass

This is an important part of your window and door selection.

Select between laminated glass or insulated laminated glass.

Laminated Hurricane Impact Resistant Glass

It consists of two glass sheets joined together with a protective intermediate layer.

Laminated glass is the main hurricane barrier used in impact-resistant windows.

Laminated glass is also used in automobile windshields. Hurricane impact resistant products use a thicker glass layer and a special intermediate layer of maya to strengthen the glass unit.

Laminated glass also eliminates 99% of UV rays, reduces noise transmission, provides improved security protection for your home, and reduces the air conditioning and heating portion of your energy bill.

Insulated Laminated Glass

Adds a single glass panel to the laminated glass unit with a hermetically sealed air space (or gas filled space) in the middle.

This glass is generally more expensive but offers improved energy efficiency. The space filled with air or gas serves as an insulator between the difference in temperature that exists between the inside and the outside.

Although it is more useful in colder climates, it improves the performance of LoE coatings and, in some cases, architects or local construction departments require their use.
