A.1 Laminated Safety Glass (Multi-Layer)

The laminate glass utilized in sloped, overhead, and other applications presents numerous design and safety challenges. If the glass breaks, the glazing system must protect against the falling glass. Additionally, an understanding of the unique thermal, solar, and ultraviolet characteristics of sloped and overhead glazing is required to avoid occupant discomfort and poor energy efficiency, and reduce potential damage to household furnishings. This Product Application Note is intended to provide an overview of the range of options that exist to incorporate laminated glass in overhead and sloped applications.
