B&G Security & Safety Glass

Tempered Glass

Heat resistant to 400-500 degrees. When fully tempered the glass fractures into small, relatively harmless fragments. This reduces the likelihood of injury to people as there are no jagged edges or sharp shards. Also used for shelving, tabletops, doors, auto door glass, etc. Available in 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8",1/2", & 3/4" clear

Laminated glass

Laminated glass, often called "safety glass", consists of two pieces of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer, or polyvinyl butyral. Laminated Safety Glass consists of two or more pieces of glass and one or more interlayers of PVB permanently bonded together under heat and pressure. Annealed, tempered, heat strengthened, chemically strengthened, tinting, and one-way or transparent mirrors can be incorporated into the laminated unit. For improved thermal and acoustical performance, laminated glass can be also combined into insulating glass units.

Laminated glass products provide resistance to penetration due to the PVB interlayer that can only be penetrated or broken by a weapon, sharp object, or intense heat, while normal glass can be easily broken with the impact of a rock. When broken by impact, laminated glass tends to remain integral in its frame, minimizing the risk of injury from sharp edges and flying or falling glass, and strongly resists penetration by the impacting object or person.

Typical applications include: Entrance doors, sliding doors, shower and bath doors and enclosures, railings, elevators, exterior curtain walls, office partitions, schools, sports stadiums, airports, hotels, and factories. Available in 1/8" (clear only) & 1/4" clear, green, bronze, light gray, & dark gray.

Glass Clad Polycarbonates

Ballistic products are designed to provide high levels of ballistic protection. Polycarbonates like Lexan, have the highest impact rating of all transparent thermoplastics for burglar-resistant glazing, impact shields, electronic housings, machine guards.

Polycarbonates consist of multiple pieces of glass and polycarbonate bonded together by tough aliphatic urethane interlayer. Laminates constructed with single or multiple cores of polycarbonate sandwiched between thin lights of strengthened glass are primarily designed to resist prolonged physical attack.
