Laminated glass is made of two or more panes of glass that are “sandwiched” together by a layer of plastic, or PVB (polyvinyl butyral). The plastic comes in varying sizes and can be clear or tinted. This interlayer will keep the glass panes alongside one another even when fractured.

​

One of the most notable characteristics of laminated glass is that when it breaks, the broken glass sticks to the plastic and does not shatter into bits and pieces.

​

This particular glass is specified where broken glass has a higher chance of landing on and injuring someone, such as windshields, skylights, flooring, and several sidecar or truck door windows.
