Heading

Laminated glass is a high-performance safety and security glazing solution, widely used in both residential and commercial applications. It is manufactured by bonding two or more panes of glass with a durable PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer or a specialist resin, creating a strong, impact-resistant glass unit.

The most common specification in domestic glazing is 6.8mm laminated glass, consisting of:

  • 3mm glass
  • 0.8mm PVB interlayer
  • 3mm glass

This construction delivers enhanced safety, security, acoustic performance, and furniture fade protection while maintaining excellent clarity.

Safety & Impact Protection

In the event of breakage, the glass fragments remain bonded to the interlayer rather than shattering into sharp pieces.

This creates a characteristic spider web” crack pattern, like a car windscreen, helping to:

  • Reduce the risk of serious cuts or injury
  • Maintain a temporary barrier after impact
  • Improve overall occupant safety

Key Benefits of Laminated Glass

  • Improved security – resistant to forced entry
  • Noise reduction – helps limit sound transmission when used in insulated glass units
  • UV protection – blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reducing furniture fading
  • Fall protection – ideal for upper-floor or full-height glazing applications
  • Safety compliance – suitable for critical locations requiring safety glass

Building Regulations: Document Q & Secure by Design

Laminated glass plays a key role in meeting UK building regulations and security standards.

Document Q (effective from 1 October 2015) applies to new-build homes and extensions. It requires that easily accessible doors and windows incorporate:

  • At least one pane of laminated glass within the IGU
  • A minimum classification of EN356 P1A

Similarly, the Secure by Design initiative specifies the use of P2A-rated laminated glass in vulnerable areas to improve security against forced entry.

All laminated glass supplied by Regency Glass is fully compliant with Document Q and Secure by Design requirements.
