Laminated Glass – Understanding the Difference

Not all laminated glass is made the same. The key difference lies in the bonding layer used between the glass panes.

Liquid Laminated Glass

This type uses a liquid resin that is poured between the glass layers and then cured. While it can look similar at first, over time it is more prone to de-lamination—where the layers start to separate. This can lead to bubbling, haziness, or reduced strength, especially when exposed to sunlight, moisture, or temperature changes.

PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) Laminated Glass

This is a higher-quality, industry-standard method where a solid interlayer (PVB) is bonded between the glass panes under heat and pressure. The result is a strong, durable bond that does not de-laminate under normal conditions. It offers superior clarity, long-term performance, and enhanced safety, as the glass remains securely bonded even if broken.
