Armored glass is thick and heavy and has a green tint - and it is also less safe. Quite the contrary: The thin and narrow safety glass by SILATEC is much safer1. Glass layer is piled up on glass layer during the armored glass production process, while the thin and narrow safety glass by SILATEC connects different, extremely impact resisting and resistant materials using a special, in-house developed adhesive. The result is probably the safest safety glass pane of the world1. Dramatically thinner and narrower than the obsolete armored glass.
The experts of the G7 and G20 summits also confirm that our thin and narrow safety glass is probably the safest safety glass of the world1: Because they made their selection based on all conceivable solutions. This is also true for the German Reichstag. For the Van Gogh museum. The most famous jewelers in the world. For private persons in luxurious mansions everywhere on the globe. In addition to safety, our thin and narrow safety glass has an additional valuable benefit1: On one hand it is transparent1 but it leaves the harmful UV light4 on the outside. This prevents the fading of colors in valuable carpets, woods and unique works of art. Our safety glass pane does not only protect against burglars but also against outside influences.
Architects and designers love thin and narrow safety glass by SILATEC. Why? Because our safety glass pane is as sturdy as a wall. Therefore, you can plan with large area window fronts – even in case of the high protection needs – to fill the building with light and air. (We deliver the thin and narrow safety glass in width of up to eight meters)
And the window frames for the narrow safety glass? They are available in all forms, colors and materials.
Of course. With pleasure. It works wonderful, and thin and narrow safety glass can be easily retrofitted even in landmarked buildings.
Of course, integrating thin and narrow safety glass from the start of the planning is recommended for new buildings.
Unsafe glass is often installed for safety windows. Why? Because the safety standard for windows does NOT state that the glass must be tested! The following combinations have been proven in practical use:
For RC2 and RC3 windows: thin and narrow safety glass, type SILATEC P6B
For RC4 to RC6 windows: thin and narrow safety glass, type SILATEC P8B.
