CUSTOM LAMINATED
Custom laminated glass is a versatile safety glass that can be tailored to meet specific project requirements, including glass type, thickness, size, shape, and colour. It offers improved safety with impact resistance, enhanced sound insulation, and UV protection. Additionally, it can incorporate energy-efficient features like low-E coatings to help regulate temperatures and reduce energy consumption. Ideal for a variety of applications such as windows, doors, skylights, and partitions, custom laminated glass also allows for unique aesthetic designs with patterns, colours, and textures.
Interlayer Options:
PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral): The most common and cost-effective interlayer, PVB provides good impact resistance, sound insulation, and UV protection. However, the storage and processing of PVB interlayers are more complex than EVA, requiring stricter temperature and humidity control. Its water resistance is relatively poor, and it is prone to delamination over time when exposed to humid environments.
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate): Offering superior optical clarity and flexibility, EVA is more durable and resistant to extreme temperatures. Compared to PVB and SGP, EVA has better fluidity and a lower melting temperature (around 110°C). The excellent fluidity of the EVA film allows it to be processed into decorative glass with patterns and designs, such as silk-screen printing or rolling. EVA offers good water resistance but has relatively poor UV resistance. It is prone to yellowing or discoloration after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
SGP (SentryGlas Plus): A high-performance interlayer that is much stronger than PVB or EVA, making it ideal for high-security and structural glazing applications. It is 100 times more rigid and 5 times more tear-resistant than PVB, and is the superior choice for frameless glass applications like balustrades and canopies due to its ability to withstand harsh weather and resist moisture. SGP is colorless, transparent, and highly UV-resistant, with a much lower yellowing tendency than PVB (yellowing coefficient <1.5 for SGP vs. 6-12 for PVB). However, it is also more expensive than other laminates.
