LAMINATED GLASS

laminated1.jpg (3811 bytes) Le-Gardien with the support of our principal from Thailand supplies processed laminated glass, which is produced using 'Benteler' from Germany. Laminated glass is produced by binding the interlayer between two or more lites of glass under heat and pressure thus resulted to a durable, adaptable, high-performance glazing composite material that can provide solutions to many architectural design problems.

Offers greater personal safety after breakage as it tends to remain intact on the frame.
Provides additional security over other glass types.
Provides improved sound control due to the sound-deafening capabilities of the PVB interlayer.
Offers high resistance against object penetrations thus providing an effective deterrent against forced entry.

Cleaning solution with acidic base is forbidden for use to clean glass as there is a risk of contact with the edges of the glass
