What is Security Glass?
Security glass is a laminated glass unit composed of two layers of glass bonded together with a special PVB interlayer. Unlike regular or tempered glass, it doesn’t shatter into pieces when struck. Instead, it cracks in a spiderweb pattern, but the shards remain attached to the interlayer, keeping the glass intact and much harder to penetrate.
This advanced design not only enhances safety and security but also maintains visibility, energy efficiency, and comfort within your home.
Why Equip Your Windows with Security Glass
Laminated glass makes forced entry much more difficult. Even if struck, shards stay bonded to the interlayer, keeping the pane intact.
Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays while maintaining excellent insulation performance for lower energy bills.
The layered design helps reduce outside noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful environment within your home.

Security Glass – When struck, it forms a spiderweb-like crack pattern but stays intact. The broken fragments remain firmly attached to the interlayer, making penetration far more difficult.
Tempered Glass – Can be shattered with a relatively small impact, breaking into a dense network of fine cracks across the entire surface. While safer than standard glass, it leaves the pane vulnerable once broken.
FAQ
Does security glass affect energy efficiency or insulation?
No. Security glass is available in double or triple-pane units and delivers the same level of energy efficiency. It maintains thermal performance, reduces drafts, and helps lower energy costs, all while providing the added benefits of improved safety and soundproofing.
What is the difference between security glass and tempered glass?
Tempered glass shatters into many small pieces when broken, creating a frosted look but leaving the opening unprotected. Security glass, also known as laminated glass, comes with a PVB interlayer that holds shards in place. Even when cracked, the pane stays intact, making it far more resistant to forced entry.
What is safety glass for windows?
Safety glass for windows refers to laminated glass that bonds two panes together with a PVB interlayer. Unlike regular glass, it doesn’t break into loose shards. Instead, it cracks in a spiderweb pattern but stays intact, making windows safer, stronger, and more durable for homeowners.
Is laminated security glass worth it for home windows and doors?
Absolutely. Laminated security glass significantly improves home safety by resisting break-ins, while also reducing outside noise and blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays.
