Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) film. It offers enhanced strength, durability, and safety compared to regular glass. When using laminated glass, it's important to take certain precautions to ensure its proper installation and maintenance. Here are some precautions to keep in mind:
Handling with care: Laminated glass is heavier and more rigid than regular glass due to the multiple layers. When handling laminated glass panels, use appropriate lifting techniques and equipment to avoid injury and prevent glass breakage.
Professional installation: Laminated glass installation is best carried out by experienced professionals. They have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to ensure proper fitting and adherence to safety standards.
Adequate support and framing: Laminated glass requires appropriate support and framing to ensure its stability and structural integrity. Consult a professional to determine the suitable frame and support system for your specific application.
Avoid excessive pressure or impact: Although laminated glass is designed to be stronger than regular glass, it can still be damaged by excessive pressure or impact. Avoid applying excessive force or using sharp objects that can cause scratches, cracks, or delamination of the layers.
Clean with care: When cleaning laminated glass, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft, lint-free cloths. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the glass or the interlayer. Gently wipe the surface to avoid putting excessive pressure on the glass.
Avoid extreme temperature changes: Sudden or extreme temperature changes can cause stress on the laminated glass, potentially leading to cracking or failure. Avoid exposing laminated glass to rapid temperature variations, such as direct sunlight or placing hot objects on the glass surface.
Regular inspection: Periodically inspect the laminated glass for any signs of damage, such as chips, cracks, or delamination. If any issues are detected, consult a professional for assessment and necessary repairs or replacement.
