Laminated Glass Repair & Replacement
Laminated glass consists of two or more glass layers bonded together with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) interlayer. When broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer rather than falling out, providing exceptional security and safety. Laminated glass is widely used in the DMV area for security windows, hurricane-resistant glazing, sound reduction, and UV protection in both residential and commercial properties.

Repair Information
Laminated glass replacement requires precise measurements and professional installation. Because the glass holds together when broken, removal requires careful handling to extract the entire panel. Our technicians measure the opening, specify the correct laminate configuration, and order a custom replacement. Installation involves properly seating the new laminated pane with appropriate gaskets and sealants to maintain the security and weather resistance of the original installation.
Laminated Glass & Energy Performance
Laminated glass provides moderate insulation benefits on its own, but its primary energy advantage is UV blocking. The PVB interlayer filters out up to 99 percent of UV radiation, which reduces solar heat gain in summer and protects furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading. When combined in an insulated glass unit, laminated glass delivers excellent all-around energy performance for DMV homes.
