What are the similarities and differences between the laminated and tempered glass?

Similarities:

• they are both of standard safety glass.

• they both can be used for safety applications, preventing forced entry, natural disasters, and human impact.

• they both have high strength than annealed glass.

Differences:

• tempered glass is a single piece, while VSG is two layers or multiple layers.

• laminate glass’s vinyl interlayer filters UV rays, toughened glasses are more impact-resistant.

• tempered glass is made through a tempering furnace, in the tempering process, the glass will be heated first and then cooled rapidly. VSG is made of two pieces of glass or multi-layers of glass, combined by a special plastic layer.

• when broken, tempered glass shatters into obtuse particles, while laminated glass fragments will be bigger and similar to annealed glass.
