Laminated glass is a popular component of commercial projects, and well regarded for its strength, durability, versatility, and optimal functionality.

Blended with decorative features, it creates a unique appearance, utilized for diverse applications as partitions and dividers, retail display cases, railings, customized markerboards, and more.

Laminated glass is used across various industries for a wide range of purposes, from retail, personal care, corporate offices and conference rooms, to fitness centers, restaurants, and hotel rooms and common areas. 

Below we’ll highlight this material’s best characteristics, decorative elements, and accompanying applications and uses. 

Benefits

Consider adding decorative details to your laminated glass project for a unique, customized appearance.

Laminated glass is manufactured by an experienced fabricator, such as Dillmeier Glass Company. This five-step process comprises design, cutting, and shaping. It's rounded out by clean-room preparation, whereby glass is heated and sandwiched around clear and plastic resin. 

This material increases natural sunlight while reducing harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, improves soundproofing, and possesses shatter-proof properties. Transparency and opacity can be adjusted for privacy levels. 

Laminated glass has transitioned into a viable and sought-after personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance solution for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) social-distancing guidelines to combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Other qualities include durability, modest pricing, and use-case versatility. Laminated glass is also easy to clean and sanitize.

Dillmeier Glass Company can provide unique decorative laminated glass ideas based on your project's style, design, and branding.
