Laminated Windscreen (Lamisafe – LT)

PROTECTING PEOPLE AND POSSESSIONS
Laminated glass is used mainly for windshields. This type of glass consists of a layer of plastic (PVB), which is sandwiched between two sheets of float glass. This layer of plastic, when used in the glass manufacturing process, bonds the glass together so that if it breaks on impact, the shards remain stuck together instead of shattering. Laminated glass is used in places where the possibility of breakage during accidents are high, like the front windshield. High-end automobiles also use it for side and rear windshield glass.

Lamisafe – LT, by AIS (a leading glass manufacturing company in India), is used in the front windshield of the car. The strength of laminated glass allows it to perform two very important functions in cars. First, keeping passengers inside the vehicle safe and second, providing good visibility through it.

To ensure that each piece that reaches you is safe, defect-free and exquisitely formed; we put our glass through stringent quality norms and inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

A laminated windshield is a specially designed safety glass used in vehicles, which is made by bonding two layers of glass with a thin plastic interlayer, usually Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB). This design keeps the glass intact even when it breaks, preventing it from shattering into sharp pieces. Commonly used in the front windshield, laminated glass not only enhances safety but also improves driving comfort.

The main purpose of laminated glass is to enhance safety, comfort and durability in vehicles. It’s designed to remain intact during impact, all with the help of a plastic interlayer that keeps the glass from shattering into sharp pieces. This reduces the risk of injury to passengers. Beyond safety, laminated glass also helps reduce outside noise, block harmful UV rays and maintain visibility even when cracked. It adds strength to the vehicle’s structure and contributes to a quieter, more comfortable driving experience.

You can check if you have laminated windshield in a few simple ways:
  • Look for markings: Most laminated auto glass have the word “Laminated” printed or etched on one of the lower corners of the glass.
  • Check the edges: If you look closely at the edge of the windscreen, you may notice two thin layers of glass with a clear plastic layer in between; that’s the PVB interlayer.
  • Perform a reflection test: Shine a light on the glass at an angle; if it’s a laminated automotive glass, you might notice a faint double reflection, which is a result of the multiple layers bonded together inside the windscreen.
  • Owner’s manual: You can also confirm through your vehicle’s manual.

Laminated auto glass is designed to absorb impact and prevent serious injuries during accidents. It consists of two layers of glass bonded with a strong plastic interlayer (usually PVB). When an impact occurs, the interlayer keeps the broken pieces of glass intact to ensure they don’t shatter and injure the passengers in the vehicle. This maximises passenger safety and prevents windshield integrity from getting compromised due to accidental impact.

Laminated glass windshield is extremely durable and reliable for daily use. Its dual-glass design with a plastic interlayer makes it resistant to cracking, chipping and shattering even under tough driving conditions. Small impacts, such as flying stones or road debris, usually cause only surface damage, not full breakage. From a safety standpoint, it offers excellent protection by holding the glass together under impact, reducing the risk of injury and maintaining visibility even when cracked. It also provides UV protection, noise reduction and contributes to the vehicle’s structural strength, making it one of the safest and most durable options for everyday driving.

No, laminated automotive glass is designed to maintain clear visibility while driving. The layers of glass and the plastic interlayer are optically transparent. So they do not distort your view. In fact, laminated windscreens often improve driving comfort by reducing glare, minimising outside noise and blocking harmful UV rays. Even if the glass cracks during an impact, the interlayer holds the pieces together, keeping the view mostly intact and allowing the driver to remain safer until the windscreen can be replaced.
