LAMINATED PROCESSES

Breakthrough Resistant® laminated Glass

Two pieces of glass are thoroughly washed in our state of the art 60" open top glass washer. The required interlayer tape is placed around the perimeter of one lite, with the following second lite, which is aligned and placed into position on the tape. A laminating resin is then poured in between the two lites of glass. The laminated glass is now set aside for the resin curing process.

Safety-Plus® Glass

Two pieces of glass are treated similarly as above. The required interlayer tape is placed along the perimeter of the first lite, then a special P.E.T film is placed over the taped piece of glass and cut to size. This film is laminated to the first piece of glass as previously described. The glass is then set-aside for 24 hours of curing before the second piece of glass is laminated to the first. Once again the glass is put aside for curing. This laminating process makes the glass almost impossible to break through.

This glass, which meets the Dade County's Hurricane Resistant Glass requirements, is capable of resisting "Smash and Grab" specialists.

Besides having the benefits of many years of research and development by Glasslam NGI Inc., AGS has embarked on a comprehensive testing program. This includes the testing of both long-term water immersion and long-term separation. These programs have now been in place for a long time and are ongoing.
