In addition to safety and aesthetics, laminated glass and tempered glass differ in the following ways:
Impact resistance: When the glass is broken, the laminated glass will not produce sharp fragments like ordinary glass, but will form a whole piece of glass, which has better impact resistance. The tempered glass will quickly break into small particles when subjected to a strong impact, and it also has better impact resistance.
Sound insulation: The sound insulation effect of laminated glass is better than that of tempered glass, because laminated glass is composed of multiple layers of glass and PVB film, which can effectively isolate noise and sound transmission.
Cost: The cost of laminated glass is higher than that of tempered glass, because laminated glass needs to use PVB film, and the cost of PVB film is relatively high.
Machinability: Laminated glass can be dyed or printed to achieve different decorative effects, while tempered glass is more difficult to process.
To sum up, laminated glass and tempered glass are different in terms of impact resistance, sound insulation, cost and processability, etc. It is necessary to choose the most suitable glass door material according to actual use needs.
