Even though we all admit that glass products in interiors lend a timeless aesthetic quality to a space and allow light to flow into a room, yet there was a time when many people considered glass to be a risky material. This may have been an impression because glass is considered to be fragile, easily breakable, dangerous and hard to maintain. Yet, the advent of laminated glass has laid these concerns to rest.
The use of glass in an interior is preferred as an aesthetic and utility partner for architects in major real estate development projects in Nairobi, Kenya because laminated safety uses polyvinyl butyral (pvb) or urethane interlayers in an autoclave system for material bonding which does not break into shards upon impact. A typical laminated makeup is 2.5 mm glass, 0.38 mm interlayer, and 2.5 mm glass.
This is the reason why laminated safety glass in Nairobi, Kenya, is used in windscreens and windows in automobiles as well as in windows, doors, skylights and entire building facades. Laminated safety glass is manufactured by state-of-the-art machinery at Impala Glass Industries keeping in mind East African climate blocking 99% of the sun’s ultra violet rays and effective as a protective shield in extreme weather conditions. Its safety features are complimented by sound transmission control.
Engineers and architects opt for Impala Glass’s laminated safety glass for the exterior of buildings, railing systems, elevator and revolving door enclosures, skylights, sun spaces, glass floors, partitions to curtain walls and overhead glazing and reception counters. Even though most of these areas are exposed to regular contact as well as changing climatic conditions, yet laminated glass, unlike ordinary brittle glass, is extraordinarily resistant.
