Safety glass glass that has been specially developed to be stronger and safer than standard glass. Where ordinary glass shatters into sharp shards upon a hard impact, safety glass remains more intact.

This makes it a popular choice for doors, walls and other indoor applications. Aluwdoors always uses laminated safety glass, ensuring you get a stylish, safe and durable solution for your home.

Toughened glass

Toughened glass is a type of safety glass that is made extra strong through heating and rapid cooling. This process ensures that the glass is much more resistant to impacts and temperature changes than the standard variant. Should it break nonetheless, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than dangerous shards.

For example, toughened glass is often used in table tops. We also use laminated safety glass as standard in Aluwdoors’s aluminium doors, as this offers greater security and protection.

Laminated safety glass

Laminated safety glass consists of two or more panes of glass with a transparent film in between. This film holds the glass pieces together if the glass breaks. Instead of the shards flying apart, they stick to the film. This makes laminated glass a lot safer than ordinary or even toughened glass.

It is not always possible to prevent glass from breaking, but with the laminated variant, the risk of injury is much smaller. As a result, you often come across it in homes or in the office.

Safety glass in aluminium doors

With aluminium doors and walls, the profile determines which type of glass is suitable. This is because aluminium is strong and light, meaning the profiles remain slender even when safety glass is used. In interior doors features standard 6 mm laminated safety glass, which increases strength and safety.

With fixed aluminium, the glass is usually thicker. We use 6-millimetre-thick safety glass for this. Are you having a door installed in an office environment? Then 10-millimetre thickness can sometimes also be chosen. As a result, you will always receive a sturdy construction that can take a bit of a knock. The combination of aluminium and safety glass is therefore extremely protective and also looks stylish.
