With modern UPVC frames having increasingly high security multiple point locking systems it makes sense to increase Glass Security in vulnerable areas around a property.
In most situations, a potential burglar will avoid entering through a glass area. This is because of potential risk to injury and the disturbance from the sound of breaking glass.
However, in a quiet area at the back of a property, an attempt could be made to break in through the double glazing panels.
Laminated glass offers a much higher level of security. It is produced by combining two sheets of float glass. In addition, it has an interlayer bonding the two layers together.
The interlayer ensures the integrity of the glass. Thus, it does this by holding the broken pieces in place should any damage occur. In fact, glass fragments adhere strongly to the interlayer. Additionally, the resistant cushioning effect dissipates the energy which retains its overall integrity and continues to act as a barrier.
In a burglary attempt, the Laminated glass will withstand more than one blow. These could be from heavy objects such as bricks, hammers and crowbars without breakthrough. Thus, this prevents or slows down burglary attempts.
