TECHNICAL BRILLIANCE
The world of laminated glass is a canvas waiting for your imagination to paint upon. Let’s explore the myriad
possibilities.
Axess Glass specialized laminating glass process, coupled with a contemporary and unique design system,
opens captivating possibilities for incorporating coloured and textured glass into architectural projects. The fusion
of aesthetics and safety compliance ensures that your creations are both visually stunning and functionally
reliable.
Laminated glass is a remarkable solution for noise reduction, offering both safety and acoustic benefits. Let’s delve
into how it works and where it finds practical applications:
How Laminated Glass Reduces Noise:
1. Elastic Interlayer: The magic lies in the interlayer—a resilient material (often a thermoplastic polymer
like PVB or EVA) sandwiched between two glass layers.
2. Damping Effect: When sound waves hit laminated glass, the interlayer absorbs and dissipates
energy. It acts like a shock absorber, reducing the transmission of noise.
3. Resonance Dulling: The elasticity of the interlayer dampens the effects of resonance, preventing
unwanted vibrations from propagating.
Applications of Noise-Reducing Laminated Glass:
1. Airports: Airports are bustling hubs with constant noise—announcements, engines, and footfall.
Laminated glass in terminal windows and partitions minimizes external disturbances.
2. Museums: Art deserves a serene environment. Laminated glass shields precious exhibits from
street noise, ensuring visitors can appreciate in peace.
3. Sound Studios: Musicians and recording artists rely on quiet spaces. Laminated glass in studio
windows keeps external sounds at bay.
4. Schools: In educational settings, laminated glass enhances concentration by reducing traffic noise
and playground chatter.
5. Factories: Industrial facilities benefit from noise control. Laminated glass in factory windows
maintains a productive atmosphere.
Customization and Safety:
1. Varied Thicknesses: Laminated glass comes in different thicknesses, allowing customization based
on noise levels and safety requirements.
2. Safety Bonus: Remember, laminated glass not only reduces noise but also remains intact even if
shattered, providing an added safety layer.
Architectural Harmony:
1. Façades: Noise-reducing laminated glass in building exteriors ensures a peaceful indoor
environment.
2. Interior Partitions: Offices, hotels, and residential spaces benefit from quieter meeting rooms and
private areas.
3. Balconies and Windows: Enjoy city views without the accompanying noise.
Reduced UV penetration.
The interlayer in this context serves as a protective shield against harmful UV rays. By acting as a filter, it
prevents these rays from penetrating through, thus safeguarding various items such as furniture, fabric,
and displays from discoloration caused by UV exposure. This feature is particularly valuable in maintaining
the longevity and appearance of these objects.
Safety:
Laminated glass is designed to hold together even when broken. This property significantly reduces the risk of
injury from sharp glass fragments. When impacted, the glass may crack, but the interlayer (usually made of a
polymer material) prevents it from shattering into dangerous pieces.
