When planning a construction or renovation project, choosing between laminated and tempered glass can be challenging. Both offer unique benefits, and understanding their differences is crucial for making the right choice.
## Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is heat-treated to increase its strength. It's ideal for applications requiring impact resistance and thermal stability. When broken, it crumbles into small, relatively harmless pieces.
**Best for:**
- Shower doors
- Building facades
- Furniture
- Windows and doors
## Laminated Glass
Laminated glass consists of two or more glass panes bonded with an interlayer (EVA, TPU, or SGP). When broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, maintaining the barrier.
**Best for:**
- Overhead glazing
- Security applications
- Bulletproof installations
- Sound insulation
## The Best of Both Worlds
At Safe Glass Nigeria Ltd, we offer laminated tempered glass, combining the benefits of both processes. This provides maximum safety and security, ideal for balustrades, flooring, and canopies where safety is paramount.
## Making Your Choice
Consider these factors:
- Safety requirements
- Security needs
- Location (overhead, ground level, etc.)
- Sound insulation requirements
- Budget constraints
Our technical team is always available to help you choose the right glass solution for your specific needs.
