For those who are interested in this kind of stuff - The difference between laminated safety glass and tempered safety glass is: Tempered glass is regular float (plate) glass which has been cut-to-size and heat-strengthened. It's much stronger than ordinary glass, but when broken shattters into thousands of very small, relatively harmless pieces. Once tempered the glass can not be re-cut.. If you've ever had your car broken into you know how much of a mess it is to clean up. Nevertheless, it's a great product. LOGO TO VISIT OUR WEBSITE Laminated safety glass is composed of three layers - two outer layers of glass with a strong layer of clear laminate sandwiched between them. When broken it typically holds in place with spider lines running through one or both sides. It can be cut-to-size but requires a slightly more advanced technique to do so than ordinary glass. Car windshields (which we don't do - sorry) are made with laminated glass. Which is better? Each has its own pros and cons depending on the application, but both are exponentially safer than ordinary float (plate) glass and are well worth the extra cost.
