Important regions comprise of doors, bathroom glazing, low windows or any other glass located below 500mm from floor level.

Toughened Glass

Toughened Glass is an A Grade safety glass that appears just like regular glass though it receives a special high temperature treatment to toughen it. This is actually significantly stronger compared to regular glass and upon impact falls apart into smallish granular portions that are usually not as sharp, decreasing the chance of personal injury.

Laminated Glass

Laminated Glass is also an A Grade safety glass and is made up of multiple sheets of regular glass, which are joined together with a plastic interlayer. The plastic interlayer delivers a barrier and on impact virtually any damaged shards of glass is likely to continue to be connected to this plastic material minimizing the possibility of injury.
