Choosing the Right Safety Glass: Tempered or Laminated?

Tempered glass is many times stronger than standard glass and breaks into small, blunt fragments. Laminated glass consists of two or more panes bonded with an interlayer, so pieces stay in place even if the glass breaks.

Which one where?

- Shower enclosures, table tops, glass doors: tempered glass
- Stair railings, floor glass, roofs: laminated glass
- Glass balconies: tempered or laminated depending on the application
