- Laminated Glass: Composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer (typically PVB - polyvinyl butyral). This construction provides enhanced security and safety. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, reducing the risk of injury and helping to maintain the integrity of the opening. It also offers acoustic insulation properties.
- Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): These units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a spacer bar, creating a sealed air or gas-filled space between the panes. IGUs are designed to improve thermal performance, reducing heat transfer and contributing to energy efficiency. They can also help to reduce condensation.
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Glass: This is a type of glass with a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects infrared light (heat). Low-E glass can help to reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, improving the energy efficiency of the building envelope.
- Tinted Glass: Available in various colors, tinted glass reduces the amount of visible light and solar heat transmission through the glass. This can help to control glare and reduce the load on HVAC systems.
- Obscure/Frosted Glass: These options provide varying degrees of privacy by diffusing light and obscuring visibility. They are achieved through surface treatments or interlayers and are suitable for areas where visual privacy is desired.
- Bullet-Resistant Glass: For applications requiring a higher level of security, dormakaba may offer specialized glass solutions designed to resist projectile penetration. These are typically multi-layered and constructed with robust interlayers.
