AGC Glass Europe products

Safety glass guards against injury and protects property against vandalism and break-in. Laminated safety glass is made up of several sheets of glass separated by one or more plastic films (PVB) so that if it breaks the pieces remain attached to the film. Depending on its composition, it affords protection against falling out the window or even resists gunfire and explosions. Toughened glass, produced by heat treatment, is five times stronger than ordinary glass in terms of resistance to physical or thermal shock. Fire-resistant glass is made up of glass sheets separated by plastic layers that swell up when exposed to heat.

When transparent, clear or in subtle tints, glass designs space. Translucent, it expands space. Painted, it becomes opaque, separating spaces while spreading color. Patterned, it sculpts the light. Mirrored, it reflects and expands space. Laminated and coloured, it combines aesthetics with security. Toughened and screen-printed, it personalises building interiors. Electroluminescent (with LEDs), it creates light and magic. Shaped and sculpted, it responds to the creativity of furniture designers.
