Tempered Class

1. Safety
   Safety is the main advantage of tempered glass. Using tempered glass reduces the risk of injury caused by jagged glass shards. A glass that does not shatter into razor-sharp slivers can be used in places where breakage is inevitable. Tempered glass breaks into small, circular "pebbles" because of the way the molecules bond. It will also shatter evenly and crumble into small pieces even if force is applied at one end. That means larger shards of broken glass will not crack off and fly through the air when the glass is broken. This makes it much more desirable for use in cars and trucks.
2. Clean-up
   Tempered glass is easier to clean up. Since it crumbles into small pieces, there are fewer sharp shards and splinters that are difficult to pick up with a broom. Tempered glass can be swept up much like small rocks with a push broom, and thrown away in a dumpster without fear of the glass slitting open the trash bags or injuring a waste management worker. In addition, if any glass is left behind, there is less of a chance that it will injure someone. The glass "pebbles" can also be vacuumed.
3. Strength
   Tempered glass is much stronger than regular glass. The process used to make it causes a stronger bond between the molecules in the glass. This means the glass can be used in applications that require a stronger surface that is see-through, like windshields in cars and trains, windows in laboratories and glass walkways.
4. Head Resistance
   Tempered glass is also more heat resistant than normal glass. This is another effect of the process to "cure" the glass. Since heat is applied during the process, the molecules become more resistant to higher temperatures. The glass will not melt or weaken even when flame is applied directly. This makes it ideal for laboratory uses, fire engines and buildings that must be built to strict fire codes.

1. Safety
   Ordinary window glass is brittle, breaking into long sharp pieces which can cause serious and sometimes fatal injuries. The principal feature of laminated safety glass is its performance under impact. Unilam 1418 absorbs the energy of the impact, resisting penetration. Although the glass may break, the glass fragments remain firmly bonded to the Unilam 1418 interlayer. In glass skylights, sunspaces, sloped glazing installations and curtain walling, there is always the possibility of breaking glass. Without the inclusion of Unilam 1418 laminated glass, that could result in a lot of injuries and safety issues with falling glass. This is why many building codes worldwide require laminated glass for overhead glazing.
2. Security
   Windows are the main point of entry for intruders due to the ease of breaking the glass and forcing entry, however, laminated glass can resist their intrusion. Even when broken, the Unilam 1418 interlayer continues to safeguard the building until the glass is replaced. Certain specifications of laminated glass can be manufactured to withstand bullets and bomb blasts by using multiple or thick layers of glass and interlayer.
    
   The continuing rise in urban crime and terrorism has created a growing need for safety glazing materials to ensure the safety of people at all times. Unilam 1418 has successfully passed the British standard Glass in Building: BS EN 12600 and a copy of which can be supplied by request.
3. Sound Reduction
   Sound pollution can be a problem in both the work and home environment. Unilam 1418 laminated glass has proven to be an excellent resistance to noise and sound dampening.
   This is due to the properties of the Unilam 1418 interlayer which helps by absorbing the sound which passes through the laminated glass. Test certification can be supplied by request showing the various thicknesses of glass and the relevant frequencies they can deter.
4. UV Control
   The major cause of deterioration and fading of furnishings and pictures is the effect caused by short-wavelength UV radiation. UV-absorbing additives in Unilam 1418 laminated glass can screen out almost all these damaging rays without compromising the interlayer.
   Projects completed over 15 years ago using Unilam 1418 are still in use and have not experienced the ‘yellowing effect’ that most other competitive materials do.
5. Durability
   As mentioned there are a number of projects which have been manufactured using Unilam 1418 over 15 years ago which are still in use and have maintained there color and strength. This demonstrates the durability of the Unilam 1418 product and the confidence you can place in the product when specifying laminated glass to your customers. It is important to note that laminated glass can be cleaned just as ordinary glass can.
6. Design Versatility
   Virtually any combination of glass types can be used with the Unilam system, this includes Float, sheet, toughened, heat strengthened, bent, mirrored, fused, patterned and wired offering our customers endless product possibilities.
   By adding color pigments from the Unilam range, the customer can add further design aesthetics or privacy needs.
   You are also able to laminate materials such as steel, fabrics, organic material (leaves, grass etc), pictures and more using Unilam 1418. As well as incorporating the sandblasted effect inside the laminate, by laminating the sandblast inside the glass your design cannot be at the mercy of stains, fingerprints, abrasions or harsh cleaning products. The result is a durable, easy-to-maintain, decorative product with the full safety performance of conventional laminated glass.
7. Installation Ease
   Laminated glass is simple to install. Laminated glass panels can be cut to size and can also be drilled and edged when fully cured.

1. Energy Saving
   According to the Energy Saving Trust, swapping single glazed windows for double glazing, can make annual savings around £170 per year on energy bills. Double glazed windows should last for 20 years, so you could save £3,400 over that period. Always check the energy rating to decide how energy efficient your windows are. The British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) runs a scheme, which assesses how well your windows will retain heat. The ratings (ranging from A-E) also show other qualities such as ability to keep out wind; resist condensation; and add to improved sound insulation. Fitting double glazing is expensive however and should be seen as a long-term investment.
2. Heat Retention
   Heat won’t escape as easily with double glazed windows and draughts will be reduced, making the overall temperature in the house more comfortable. However, it’s not just the glass you need to be looking at to retain heat, the casing is just as important and the property, local climate and indoor temperature will also play an essential role. The best windows are those that will allow more energy to pass through the glass and into the room, than will be lost through the window. 
3. Sound Proofing
   Double glazed windows, especially those installed after 2002 and labelled Energy Efficient Windows, give an added insulation and will keep the noise out. This is perfect if your houses faces a busy main road or near a school.
4. Options
   There are lots of different options when it comes to double glazed windows, uPVC frames are not the only alternative (although it is the cheapest and most energy efficient). Opt for a material depending on how much maintenance you’re willing to undertake and how big your budget is. For instance, wooden frames will require more maintenance than uPCV windows, whereas composite frames are weatherproof and long-lasting. Wooden frames can be the best solution if you live in a conservation area and want timber framed windows, in keeping with the original look of the property.

• Much stronger than regular glass
• Can withstand a round of strikes from bullets and other objects
• Increases safety
• Can be used to replace the windows in homes, businesses, or cars

• The Low-E coating reflects heat back to its source so it helps your home stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
• The coating won’t scratch off because it is applied to the inside of the glass.
• It help protects against UV fading of any nearby furniture.
• It requires no special cleaning.
