Safety glass:
Safety glass is glass with additional safety features that make it less likely to break,or less likely to pose a threat when broken.Common designs inculude toughened glass(also known as tempered gl ass),laminated glass,wire mesh glass(also known as wired glass)and engraved glass. Édouard Bénédic tus (1878–1930).
Toughened glass:
As a result of its safety and strength,tempered glass is used in a variety of demanding applicati tions,including passenger vehicle windows,shower doors,architectural glass doors and table,refrigerat tor trays,as a component of bulletproof glass,for diving masks,and various types of plates and cookw-are.In the United States,since 1977 Federal law has required safety glass located within doors and tub and shower enclosures.
Laminated glass:
Laminated glass is normally used when there is a possibility of human impact or where the glass could fall if shattered.Skylight glazing and automobile windshields typically use laminated glass.In geo -graphical areas requiring hurricane-resistant construction,laminated glass is often used in exterior sto -refronts,curtain walls and windows.The PVB interlayer also gives the glass a much higher sound insul -lation rating,due to the damping effect,and also blocks most of the incoming UV radiation(88% in wi -ndow glass and 97.4% in windscreen glass).
