Antivandal Laminated Glasses Technical specifications:
The following table presents antivandalism glazing categories as ranked based on their performance in tests according to EN 356.As it can be seen, the classification of glass in categories, based on European standards, is independent from its composition and depends solely on endurance performance during the required tests.
Antivandal laminated glass is a high-security glass designed to meet stringent safety and protection standards, particularly in environments where security against forced entry or vandalism is essential, such as banks, museums, public buildings, and retail spaces. This glass type is manufactured to meet the EN 356 European standard for anti-vandalism glazing, which ensures its resilience and impact resistance through controlled testing.
Key Characteristics of Antivandal Laminated Glass
Enhanced Security Performance:
Laminated glass is specifically designed to resist mechanical impacts, helping to prevent unauthorized access and protect people and property within secured premises.
It is tested and classified according to standards that measure strength and durability under stress, with classification based solely on performance outcomes rather than material composition.
Innovative, Lighter Designs:
With advances in materials science, modern laminated glass is now produced in thinner, lighter compositions that still deliver high levels of security. This makes installations easier and reduces structural load requirements, which is beneficial for architects and building engineers.
The reduction in glass thickness also contributes to improved aesthetic integration into building designs without compromising safety.
Compliance with Safety Standards:
EN 356 Standard: Specifies the criteria for anti-vandalism protection and ensures that the glass meets rigorous performance benchmarks.
EN 1063 Standard: Required for bulletproof glass, often utilized in high-security settings like government buildings and banks.
Certified Quality and Safety:
YIHAI collaborates with leading European manufacturers to provide high-quality laminated glass products, each accompanied by certificates from authorized testing laboratories. This assures clients of the glass’s compliance with security standards and its proven reliability under various threat scenarios.
