Glass can be beautiful—but not all glass is created equal. When safety, durability, and performance matter, laminated glass rises above the rest. At Bent Glass Design, we specialize in fabricating custom curved laminated glass that meets the demands of both modern aesthetics and structural integrity.
Whether you’re designing a stunning new office, retrofitting a retail storefront, or building a home with large windows and skylights, laminated glass offers exceptional advantages. Let’s explore why it’s often the right—and smartest—choice.
Built-In Safety That Goes Beyond the Surface
Traditional glass can fracture into dangerous shards, turning a minor impact into a serious hazard. Laminated glass is constructed differently: two or more layers of glass are bonded together with a durable plastic interlayer. If the glass is impacted, the interlayer holds the broken pieces in place, preventing them from scattering.
This safety feature makes laminated glass ideal for high-risk areas like stair railings, skylights, balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows. It not only helps reduce injury but also ensures compliance with building safety codes in many commercial and residential applications.
At Bent Glass Design, our curved laminated glass brings safety and design together, so your space can be both secure and stunning.
Noise Control for Peaceful Interiors
Modern life is noisy—but your space doesn’t have to be. Laminated glass is widely recognized for its acoustic performance. Thanks to its interlayer, laminated glass significantly dampens sound transmission, creating quieter and more productive environments.
This makes it an excellent choice for:
- Office interiors and conference rooms
- Apartments or condos near busy streets
- Hotels and hospitality environments
- Libraries, studios, and learning centers
Want to keep your space calm without compromising on visual appeal? Pair laminated glass with our custom curves and aesthetic options to achieve serenity without sacrificing style.
A Shield Against the Elements
Laminated glass doesn’t just protect you from impact—it also helps defend against harsh weather conditions. From flying debris during windstorms to heavy hail, laminated glass is engineered to resist shattering. Even if the outer glass layer cracks, the interlayer holds the structure together.
This is especially critical in regions prone to hurricanes or strong storms. Laminated glass helps reduce the risk of injury and property damage by keeping the glass intact and resisting pressure changes caused by extreme weather.
Sun Protection Without Sacrificing Light
Large windows and skylights can flood a room with natural light—but they can also bring in harmful UV rays. Over time, these rays can damage skin, fade furniture, and increase indoor temperatures. Laminated glass is designed to block up to 99% of UV radiation, providing a layer of protection that standard glass simply can’t match.
Bent Glass Design offers laminated glass in a variety of tints and coatings, so you can enjoy daylight while minimizing heat buildup and long-term sun damage.
Increased Security and Deterrence
Security glass doesn’t have to be bulky or unattractive. Laminated glass provides a discreet, yet powerful, barrier that resists break-ins. Because the interlayer holds the glass together, it takes much more effort and time to break through—a major deterrent for burglars.
This added resistance makes laminated glass a smart choice for:
- Retail storefronts
- Ground-level windows
- Doors and entryways
- Secure office areas
Even if an intruder attempts forced entry, laminated glass will slow them down or stop them altogether. And with Bent Glass Design’s architectural customization, your security solution can look as good as it performs.
