Glass constructions made of laminated glass (triplex)
The word "triplex" comes from its Latin equivalent
"triplex", which means "triple". This term means a special
technology for the manufacture of glass products, and its result - a special
laminated glass.
The range of use of triplex is very wide, but we can distinguish two main
areas: industrial or architectural triplex and decorative triplex.
Architectural Triplex is a composition of several layers of glass glued
together with a special resin. Layers can be made of glass of the same or
different types, straight or bent in accordance with a given shape (they are
given a shape before gluing).
Laminated glass is recommended to be used as a glass protecting against burglary, bullets, fire and noise, to protect a person from various injuries, as well as for the manufacture of insulating glass windows, i.e. fulfilling their main function - protective. Due to the polymer layer the material's transparency is somewhat lower, and its heat and sound insulation qualities are higher than those of ordinary glass of the same thickness.
The impact strength of the material depends on the type of glass from which
it is made.
Laminated glass, depending on its purpose, is divided into the following
types:
► shock resistant; ►bulletproof; ► fireproof; ►explosion proof; ► noise protective; ► frost resistant; ►Plastic glass with special
properties, for example, electrochromic (smart-glass).
Laminated glass is used for cover facades and structural glazing, windows
and partitions, floors and stairs, canopies and awnings, doors and windows,
ranging from residential buildings and commercial real estate to special
engineering and trains.
A different combination of layers of glass and polymer allows to get different classes of resistance. Preserving the high strength of the glazing,
triplex provides reliable protection of the premises from unauthorized entry,
which is widely used in banks.
