Laminated glass by Press-Glas

Layered panes have unlimited application possibilities. In order to adapt their construction to various requirements the standard range of symmetrically built laminated annealed Float panes is insufficient, therefore Press-Glas extended its range with its own production of layered panes. Press-Glas possesses a world-class Benteler glass laminating line and Scholz autoclave, which are the guarantee of products of the highest quality.

Merits of laminated panes:

• in the event of being smashed the glass panel still remains glued to the foil, minimising the risk of injury to the user from pieces of broken glass;
• applied in windows, facades or partition walls:
  • after smashing prevents access to the interior of rooms by third persons,
  • may constitute a temporary barrier during attempted burglary,
  • multi-layered laminated panes may provide protection against gunfire and against explosion shock wave,
  • significantly increased sound insulation barrier in comparison with monolithic class of the same thickness,
  • Limits penetration of UV radiation, which prevents rapid fading of colours of walls and furniture.

Types of products offered

• laminated panes,
• laminated safety panes,
• laminated protective panes.

Layered panes are executed in all the combinations permitted by the production process possibilities. Layered safety panes are the panes among all possible combinations, which fulfil the requirements of one of the classes given in Standard PN-EN 12600. Correspondingly the construction of layered protective panes satisfies the requirements of Standard PN-EN 356.
