V-LAM at a Glance
Annealed glass breaks easily. Although tempered glass is more strengthened than annealed glass, it breaks also under high stress or impact. Nevertheless laminated glass (V-Lam), which is composed of two glass layers and a PVB (Poly-Vynil Butyral) interlayer, benefits higher levels of impact resistance. A wide range of V-Lam glass can be produced by changing number of glass layers and interlayer thickness to meet different operational requirements.
Properties
- If broken, glass pieces will not spread out due to strong adhesion with the interlayer, eliminating probable risks.
- V-Lam glass is an ideal choice for controlling noises in places with high noise pollution such as near airports, industrial sites, highways and places with heavy traffic.
- V-Lam glass has capability of blocking up to 95% of harmful UV radiation resulting in significant decrease in T Damage Weight (Tdw) value, a measurement for the amount of light that gets transmitted throught a window that can fade the color of any furniture and instrument.
