A SECURE LIFE
BEHIND THE GLASS
 Applications
Regulations for safety glass applications; can be found at TS 13433 - Glazing in buildings – Code of practice for safety
related to human impact. Laminated glass is used in many applications such as,

• Curtain walling
• Şişecam Laminated Glass is the trademark of laminated glass of Şişecam Flat Glass. It is produced by combining two • Windows
or more panels of glass with special binding agency polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer under heat and pressure. If the • Overhead glazing
glass is broken, most of the fragments remain stuck to the interlayer, therefore minimizing the risks of injury caused • Internal partitions
by broken glass. • Balustrades
• Doors
• Şişecam Ultra Clear Laminated Glass is the trademark of low iron laminated glass produced with low iron flat glass. The • Interior fittings
transperancy of Şişecam Ultra Clear Laminated Glass is significantly higher, minimising distortion of the original colours • Shower and bath enclosures
of the objects behind it. • Areas of high pedestrian traffic, museums & art galleries where UV protection is necessary
• Areas where improved acoustic performance is a requirement
• Passageways with busy pedestrian traffic

Multiple Functions
Safety: Minimizes risks of injury due to accidental impact.
Security: Retains its overall integrity and continues to act as a barrier even if the glass breaks, protection from vandalism,
burglary attack. Able to with stand repeated blows from heavy objects such as bricks, hammers or crowbars.
Ultraviolet (UV) Control: Provide extremely high levels of protection against UV radiation (over 99 % of UV radiation
is blocked), therefore helps to reduce fading and ageing effects.
Sound Insulation: Reduces noise, providing a quite atmosphere day and night.
Thermal Insulation: Low-e coated laminated glass products reduce heat loss coefficient, keeping more heat inside the
building.
Solar Control and Thermal Insulation: Helps saving energy by reducing cooling and heating expenses of the building.
Decoration: Ideal for decorative or architectural applications. In addition to various options of color, Şişecam Ultra
Clear Laminated Glass offers options for architects and interior architects with its transparent appearance.
Privacy: Şişecam Laminated Glass Opaque allows your privacy and security without compromising light transmission.
