When safeguarding your loved ones and employees, compromising on safety isn’t an option. Safety glass prevents injuries and meets strict building codes in residential and commercial settings. At LA City Glass, we’re committed to educating clients about its importance and providing expert installations for their peace of mind. Let’s explore why safety glass is indispensable.
Preventing Injuries with Safety Glass
Accidents are inevitable, but safety-rated glass significantly reduces the risk of serious harm. Unlike standard glass, safety-rated glass is designed to break into tiny, harmless fragments upon impact, minimizing the risk of cuts and other injuries. It adds an extra layer of protection, whether for windows, doors, or glass partitions.
Meeting Stringent Building Code Requirements
Building codes require the installation of impact-resistant glass in certain areas. These hazardous locations encompass doors and adjacent windows, specifically, those positioned within 24″ horizontally from a door with glazing less than 60″ above the floor. Additionally, large window panels exceeding 9 sqft are subject to these regulations if the bottom is less than 18″ from the floor and the top exceeds 36″. These requirements also cover wet areas such as bathrooms and spaces near stairways and ramps.
Enhancing Security with Safety Glass
Safety-rated glass prevents injuries and enhances security in residential and commercial settings. Tempered and laminated glass are two common types that fulfill these requirements. The thermal tempering process strengthens tempered glass, making it ideal for areas prone to impact or extreme weather conditions. Meanwhile, laminated glass, consisting of multiple bonded layers, provides enhanced protection against forced entry, impact, and sound transmission. Its versatility makes it suitable for various applications, including storefronts, entry doors, and high-security areas, offering property owners peace of mind against potential threats.
