Glass is one of the essential building elements of modern architecture today. Glass balconies, glass roofs, winter gardens and commercial façade systems add spaciousness and aesthetics to spaces, while also increasing the need for safety. At this point, laminated glass stands out as a much safer solution compared to standard glass.

What Is Laminated Glass?

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass produced by bonding two or more glass layers together using a special interlayer (usually PVB – Polyvinyl Butyral) under high heat and pressure. Thanks to this production method, when the glass breaks, it does not shatter into pieces. The glass fragments remain bonded to the interlayer instead of dispersing. This makes laminated glass ideal for safe use in both residential and commercial projects.

Why Is Laminated Glass Safer?

1. It Does Not Shatter When Broken

Standard glass breaks into sharp fragments that can cause serious injuries. Laminated glass, however, largely maintains its integrity when broken. This makes it much safer for families with children, high-traffic areas and commercial spaces.

2. Higher Impact Resistance

Laminated glass offers higher resistance to impacts compared to standard glass. This provides additional protection against accidents and external forces.

3. Ideal for Glass Balconies and Glass Roof Systems

Safety is critical in glass balcony systems and fixed glass roof applications. Laminated glass prevents broken glass from falling, significantly increasing user safety.

Additional Advantages of Laminated Glass

• Provides UV protection – helps reduce fading of furniture and flooring • Contributes to sound insulation – creates quieter living spaces • Supports four-season comfort – improves system performance

Where Should Laminated Glass Be Preferred?

  • Glass balcony systems
  • Glass roof and veranda applications
  • Winter gardens
  • Terrace and pergola systems
  • Cafés, restaurants and commercial projects
  • Villas and detached houses
🔹 Important Information

The type of glass used in glass balcony and glass roof systems is determined according to the usage area, safety requirements and project needs.

In standard applications, tempered (ESG) safety glass is preferred. For projects with higher safety expectations, laminated glass solutions can be applied upon request.

This approach ensures the most suitable, safe and functional glass system for each project.
