Custom Laminated Glass Solutions
Invented in 1903 by French chemist Édouard Bénédictus, laminated glass started as a simple laboratory accident and ended up as a crucial part of the automotive industry we know today. After hearing about an accident in which two women were severely injured by glass debris, Bénédictus filed a patent to officially produce laminated glass windshields that reduced injuries that were the result of automobile accidents.
Made by “sandwiching” a polyvinyl butyral (PVB), transparent interlayer between two glass panes during the manufacturing process, laminated glass is strong, cost-effective and shatter-proof. Laminated glass is used in multiple industries to keep vehicle occupants safe and out of harm’s way from glass debris, including in public transportation, construction, the hospitality and retail industries, automobiles, recreational vehicles and more! Custom Glass Solutions offers many custom laminated glass products for OEMs and other customers.

FEATURES & BENEFITS OF LAMINATED GLASS
It’s no surprise that laminated glass is mandatory for automotive windshields in every industrialized country. Damage to door glass and windshields can occur during accidents or due to flying or falling debris, and vehicle operators need to be protected when the unexpected happens. Laminated glass windshields help to make vehicles safer in all scenarios.
Custom laminated glass designs from Custom Glass Solutions offer protection to help keep vehicle operators and passengers safe.
The advantages of laminated glass windshields and window glass include:
Strength
The interlayer in laminated glass softens the blow of an impact, absorbing the energy of the collision, and prevents the occupant from being ejected from the vehicle.
Safety
If a laminated glass panel is damaged, the glass cracks in a “spider-web” pattern but remains intact rather than shattering, significantly minimizing the risk of cut or injury from shards of glass.
UV Protection
Laminated glass windshields block more than 99 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, which prevents cancer-causing UV rays from penetrating exposed skin, protects eyesight, and even stops the fading of interior materials in vehicles.
Versatility & Repair
Laminated glass from Custom Glass Solutions offers endless design possibilities and helps save money on re-installations.
Sound Attenuation / Reduction
In order to increase operator comfort and productivity, custom laminated glass reduces unwanted noise and sound from outside of the vehicle.
Proper Airbag Deployment
Laminated glass is strong enough to withstand the astonishing speed and power of safety air bag deployment – around 2,000 lbs. of pressure in 1/30th of a second.
Security
The durable interlayer in laminated glass affords up to two minutes of intrusion resistance from thieves and vandals.
