From skyscrapers to office buildings to museums, laminated glass has become a popular building material used in facades and interiors. Architects and designers look for laminated glass that not only has aesthetic and technical benefits, but solve a variety of architectural challenges. For more than 80 years, Saflex® architectural interlayer technology has delivered consistent performance and durability to buildings around the world by offering exciting new solutions for architectural applications. Modern design trends emphasize the liberal use of glass in building exteriors and interiors, but still keeping in mind the demand for structural integrity, interior comfort, safety and security. Compared to traditional glass, laminated glass made with Saflex®, a tough protective interlayer made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), bonds together between two panes of glass under heat and pressure. Once sealed together, the glass "sandwich" behaves as a single unit and looks like normal glass. Saflex® interlayer provides protection upon breakage or impact from forced entry, storms or fallout by remaining intact, holding the glass fragments in place. Saflex® also provides solar and UV control to help manage heat buildup and create a comfortable environment for tenants, and help reduce fading and damage to furnishing from ultraviolet radiation. Noise reduction can also be reduced up to 50% providing a significantly higher level of sound abatement capabilities and greater dampening performance. In addition, Saflex® brings aesthetic qualities to your windows with a palette of color interlayers for your building's exterior and interior applications.
