Laminating

GLASS LAMINATING

Laminating bonds two or more glass sheets with an interlayer into a single element. The glass and interlayer package goes into a furnace, where heat and pressure permanently bond the interlayer with the sheets, without air bubbles. When broken, the finished laminate does not fall apart - the fragments stay on the interlayer and the glass still closes the opening.

We laminate at our own plant, on one of the largest laminating furnaces in Polska. This means that both standard VSG laminates and laminates made of tempered sheets, with matt, white, grey, coloured or acoustic interlayer, are produced in one place.

WHAT CAN BE LAMINATED

Float and low-iron glass, tempered and heat-strengthened glass, tinted, satin and sandblasted glass. The choice of interlayer depends on the purpose: clear interlayer gives safety glass, matt and white - privacy, grey and coloured - colour, and acoustic - better noise insulation.

WHY IT IS SAFETY GLASS

In a balustrade, canopy or door, glass must stay in place even after it breaks. A laminate ensures this - the interlayer holds the fragments and keeps the sheet from falling out of its fixing. That is why laminates are used wherever people may be under or behind the glass.

Frequently asked questions

  1. What does 44.2 mean?

    The first two digits are the thicknesses of the sheets in millimetres - here two 4 mm sheets. The number after the dot is the number of 0.38 mm interlayer films, so a 44.2 laminate has two layers of film.

  2. Can laminated glass be cut to size?

    Yes, but it requires a different technology than cutting ordinary glass, because the interlayer must be cut as well. A laminate made of tempered glass, on the other hand, must be ordered in its final size straight away - tempered sheets can no longer be cut.

  3. Can I laminate printed or coloured glass?

    Yes. Colour can be achieved with a coloured interlayer, and a print or satin glass can be sealed inside the laminate, where it is protected from abrasion. We will choose the solution to suit your project.
