Over the years, glass has become an important feature in modern architecture due to its elegance, versatility and ability to bring natural light to the space. The ability to blend aesthetic with function makes it a preferred choice for many. With advanced forms of glass like security glass, you get the same visual appeal with remarkable safety.
At AIS Glass, we believe that beauty and space aesthetics should never come at the cost of safety. Hence, our security glass solutions are created to offer unmatched strength without compromising on aesthetics.
If you are looking to add glass elements to your home, here is a comprehensive guide to choosing the right security glass for homes in India.
What is a Security Glass?
Security glass is a type of special glass made with quality materials that ensures additional protection against external impact. These glasses can typically be toughened, heat-strengthened, laminated, or reinforced with polycarbonate or wire mesh to ensure optimal security.
They offer more than just strength; they provide protection that blends seamlessly with your living spaces.
As India’s leading integrated glass company, AIS pioneered in offering maximum security. With the introduction of specialised glass solutions, we aim to deliver exceptional protection without compromising on design.
The main types of security glass include:
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass undergoes rigorous heat treatment, which improves its strength. These glasses are typically five times stronger than regular sheet glass. What sets them apart is their safety feature. They do not break easily and even if they do, they shatter in blunt-edged pieces that minimise the risk of injury. Moreover, tempered glass also does not compromise on clarity and elegance.
Laminated Glass
This type of security glass uses a PVB layer between two glass panes. The PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) not only holds the glass together but also enhances its durability. The number of layers can be increased to improve the glass’s strength. With a thickness of 5 cm, this glass can withstand high-impact forces that offer a shield that is both strong and stylish.
Why Use Security Glass for Homes?
The use of glass in architectural designs is very common. Here are a few reasons why you should opt for security glass when upgrading your living space.
Safety and Security
Both laminated and toughened glass are crafted to resist high-impact forces, restricting unauthorised entry. Security glass ensures strength and durability to withstand impacts, pressure and extreme temperatures. In the rare event of breakage, this glass does not shatter into sharp pieces, safeguarding you and your loved ones from injuries.
Sound Resistance
Security glass is made by either toughening a thick glass or laminating two or more layers of glass together. This leads to excellent noise reduction. So, whether you are living in a busy neighbourhood or a bustling city, this glass can ensure a calm and serene indoor environment.
Aesthetic Look
Opting for security glass does not mean compromising on the beauty of your home. They are available in a range of tints, finishes and styles that can complement your space perfectly. For example, AIS Fabric Laminated glass comes in dynamic colours and enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home.
Protection Against UV Rays
The PVB layer of laminated glass is great at reducing the exposure of UV rays entering your living space. Laminated glass ensures that up to 99% of UV rays are filtered through while allowing necessary natural light to pass.
Withstand Severe Weather Conditions
Security glass for homes is engineered to handle extreme weather conditions, both cold and hot. Whether in the scorching heat of summer or freezing winter, this glass type ensures optimal performance.
