Safety Glass – Solutions for Security and Style
At NSG, we supply and install a full range of safety glass solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern architecture, retail, and residential environments. Whether you need impact resistance, security, or visual clarity, our toughened, laminated, and toughened-laminated glass options deliver performance without compromise.
Understanding Safety Glass Types
Toughened Safety Glass
- Made by heating and rapidly cooling glass to increase strength up to 5x that of standard glass.
- Breaks into small, blunt fragments—reducing injury risk.
- Ideal for high-impact areas like shower doors, partitions, and vehicle windows.
Laminated Safety Glass
- Composed of two or more glass layers bonded with a PVB interlayer.
- If broken, the glass develops hairline cracks but stays intact, maintaining visibility and security.
- Commonly used in shopfronts, facades, and security glazing.
Toughened & Laminated Glass
- Combines the strength of toughened glass with the shatter-resistance of lamination.
- Used in high-security applications like balustrades, overhead glazing, and public buildings.
Why Laminated Glass Is Ideal for Shopfronts
- Security: Difficult for intruders to penetrate—even when cracked, the glass remains in place.
- Visibility: Maintains clear views of window displays even after impact.
- UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, preserving merchandise.
- Noise Reduction: The interlayer dampens sound, ideal for busy urban areas.
Energy Efficiency: Improves insulation when paired with IGUs, reducing heating/cooling costs.
Lead Time Advantages of Non-Toughened Laminated Glass
- Our non-toughened laminated glass sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses.
- These sheets do not require a hardening process, allowing for faster turnaround times and flexible fabrication.
- Ideal for projects with tight deadlines or custom sizing needs.
Design & Aesthetic Benefits
- High optical clarity – no distortion or haze.
- Custom thicknesses and combinations – e.g., 44.2 (two 4mm panes with 0.76mm interlayer).
Polished edges and optional tinting or coatings for enhanced appearance.
Installation & Supply Options
- Full installation service – for retail, residential, and commercial projects.
- Supply-only – we stock laminated glass sheets and can deliver to your site.
