Other Than Safety, Why Use Laminated Glass?

In home construction and in other building projects, the benefits of using laminated glass are endless; however it’s common to only hear about the safety advantages. Many people use laminated glass for various other reasons, which are worth looking into:

Less sound

Laminated glass greatly reduces sound going in or out of your house, so if sound is a concern of yours, rest assured. The sound reduction is due to the viscoelastic properties of the interlayer material. So if you live in a neighborhood with plenty of distracting traffic, laminated glass windows can really help. If your house produces a lot of noise from your child’s instrument practicing, you’ll want to keep the noise in so you don’t disturb your neighbors.

UV protection

As you probably have experienced, ultra-violet light from the sun can cause fading on some of your favorite things and when you use non-laminated glass windows, the UV rays shine right through. To avoid having your curtains, carpets and furniture faded, you can get laminated glass windows installed. Laminated glass contains a special film that blocks most of the UV light from coming in.
