AND/OR PLASTICS GLAZING SHEET MATERIALS
JOINED TOGETHER WITH ONE OR MORE INTER
LAYERS.
 Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that
holds together when shattered.
 In the event of breaking, it is held in place
by an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl
butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl
acetate (EVA), between its two or more
layers of glass.
 The interlayer keeps the layers of glass bonded even when
broken, and its high strength prevents the glass from
breaking up into large sharp pieces.
 This produces a characteristic "spider web" cracking
pattern when the impact is not enough to completely
pierce the glass. In the case of the EVA, the thermoset
EVA, offers a complete bounding (cross-linking) with the
material whether it is glass, polycarbonate, P.E.T. or other
types products.
 Laminated glass is normally used when there
is a possibility of human impact or where the
glass could fall if shattered and also for
architectural applications.
 Skylight glazing and
automobile windshields typically use
laminated glass.
 In geographical areas requiring hurricane-
resistant construction, laminated glass is
often used in exterior storefronts, curtain
walls and windows.
 Laminated glass is also used to increase the
sound insulation rating of a window,

 Glass brick, also known as glass block, is an
architectural element made from glass.
 Glass bricks provide visual obscuration while
admitting light.
 The glass block was originally developed in
the early 1900s to provide natural light
in manufacturing plants.
 Glassblocks: Hollow glass wall blocks are
manufactured as two separate halves and,
while the glass is still molten, the two pieces
are pressed together and annealed. The
resulting glass blocks will have a partial
vacuum at the hollow center. Glass bricks
provide visual obscuration while admitting
light
 Glass Blocks are a versatile building material you can use for
windows, stairwells, shower screens, paving, interior and exterior
walls - the opportunities are endless.
 Glass blocks provide you with a unique design alternative with
many practical advantages.
 Light:Clear glass blocks allows up to 79% of natural light to pass
through
 insulationAlong with added light comes better control of heat and
noise. Glass blocks can reduce noise by up to 45 db
 securityProvides the strength without the harsh look of metal
screens
 versatalityStart with one block or purchase pre-fabricated
panels. Many colours, styles and application are available. Have a
look at the glass block range and photo gallery.
 simplicityLay the glass blocks yourself with the DIY Ezylay Frame
or have the team at Glass Block Constructions do the installation
for you.
