Impact Glass for Storefronts and Other Commercial Applications

Using impact glass is a smart way to protect your business from hurricane damages. Impact resistant products serve as a protective barrier against storms’ wind-borne debris and also protects against burglary. Laminated impact glass is extremely hard to break so by consequence it will make it harder for thieves to break in, giving your alarm system to activate and the police to arrive. They are not made with the goal of keeping burglars out but the stronger glass will make it harder for them to get in. A great feature of impact glass is that it is energy efficient. The PVB interlayer we apply between two layers of glass is a chemical resin that provides strong binding and insulation. The interlayer reduces the thermal conduction of glass and consequently increases its insulation capability. We can help you select the appropriate window systems to achieve great energy savings.

Impact glass is also great for protecting furniture from sun damages because it provides a blockage of up to 99% of the ultraviolet (UV) light getting in your building through the windows. This allows for a greater use of natural light without damages to the structures. You can choose a darker glass tint if you want better shielding from the sun and also to add some privacy from the outside. Impact glass can minimize or even eliminate unwanted sound from the outside. The chemical resin interlayer on the impact windows reduces external noise up to 40% which can be very useful for an office building.
