Gerry’s Glass supplies two types of safety glass in line with Australian Standards AS1288 and AS2208. These standards take into consideration both the window size and location to determine where Grade A safety glass is to be used. The 2 types of Grade A safety glass are:

Toughened Glass
Produced by passing cut-to-size float glass through a heat furnace. This process causes the glass to be 3 to 5 times stronger than ordinary float glass.  When broken, toughened glass shatters into small fragments, unlike float glass which breaks into large shards.

Laminated Glass
Made up of 2 pieces of glass, bonded together with a poly vinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. When broken, fragments adhere to the interlayer and remain in place.
