Tempered Glass When tempered glass shatters, it breaks into larger shards rather than shattering completely, minimizing the risk of significant injury. This makes it an excellent option for high-traffic glass doors and windows, as well as windows in tall buildings. Tempered glass is created by combining heat and chemical treatments to strengthen its integrity and durability in the face of major winds and high temperatures. While this is one of the most durable varieties of glass, it can be shattered by a powerful impact, such as a gunshot. Laminated Glass Multiple layers of glass are held together in laminated glass. It's manufactured by gluing these layers of glass together using polyvinyl butyral resin. It's a tough glass that does a good job of blocking out noise and UV radiation. To preserve carpet and furniture from fading, laminated glass can be used in storefronts or in locations with a lot of sunshine. Although tempered glass is generally better in its capacity to withstand force from the elements than laminated glass, laminated glass can sustain bullets or rock strikes without shattering.
