Testing the Strength of UltraVue® Laminated Glass 

At some point in time everyone one of us is going to experience glass breakage and the first question is always going to be,

Broken Tru Vue UltraVue® Laminated Glass

Even when it’s broken, Tru Vue UltraVue® Laminated Glass stays together since it is laminated.

“How did this glass get broken?”

Sometimes it can be as obvious as a baseball going through it but today we will focus on some other factors that are not so obvious, with a focus on laminated glass strength.

  • The first thing to consider is going to be the design of the glass part. If it is fabricated with sharp 90 degrees inside corners, this will be doomed from the start. A radius is always needed in these areas.
  • Depending on the size of the glass and how it will be used, you will need to consider using the correct thickness and type of glass.
  • Hole locations are another critical consideration, especially if the glass is going to be tempered for added strength and safety considerations.
  • Even the type of edge finish can have a dramatic effect on the strength of the glass.

Testing UltraVue® Laminated Glass Strength

Today we tested the strength of Tru-Vue® Ultra-Vue Laminated Glass to demonstrate how much stronger the glass can be with the proper edge finish applied to it. Check out the video below to see how UltraVue® Laminated Glass holds up when we add weight to it. Find out which glass is stronger: a waterjet cut edge, flat edge grind,  or flat edge polish.
