Every year, the
so-called safety glass is increasingly used in construction. It is applied in
the glazing of external and internal walls, special windows, all-glass doors
and portals, in places with an increased risk of glass destruction due to
mechanical and thermal loads.

| Armored Glass |
These include
tempered glass sheets with increased strength and resistance to sudden
temperature changes, laminated glass (laminated or architectural building
triplex), as well as armored glass.
Armored glass is flat glass with a metal mesh, which in case of glass breakage prevents its scattering.
Tempered glass
is a glass that was heat-treated. This process technologically resembles the
process of tempering metals. As a result of tempering, the strength of the
glass increases several times, and in case of destruction, it crumbles into small
bits. A feature of such glass is the impossibility of its mechanical processing
after tempering.
Laminated glass,
or triplex, is a combination of glasses made by bonding two or more colorless,
tinted, or reflective layers of glass over the entire surface with a
transparent, colored, white, or colorless polymer film between them.

| Triplex |
By combining
various glasses and films, the necessary functional and aesthetic effects are
achieved. In addition, there is an energy-saving triplex for use in
double-glazed windows and triplex with a thickened film.
The combination
of glass with an elastic gasket provides triplex non-shatter property, i.e. the ability of the product to not give off flying or separating fragments when the
glass is broken from shock or push.
