Common questions
What's the difference between toughened and laminated glass?
Toughened glass is heat-treated to be 4–5 times stronger than standard, and breaks into small blunt fragments. Laminated is two sheets bonded with a plastic interlayer — it stays in place when broken. Most shopfronts use toughened-laminated, combining both.
Are frameless glass shopfronts secure?
Frameless shopfronts using thick laminated glass are secure against most attack levels. For high-security uses, security-rated laminated specifications (P5A, P6B etc.) provide attack resistance comparable to a steel-framed system.
