07 Assessment
Advantages
- Superior acoustic insulation (STC 35-40 rating)
- Grade A safety compliance to AS2208:2023
- 99% UV radiation blockage protecting interiors
- Maintains integrity when broken (no dangerous shards)
- Can be cut after lamination (annealed versions)
- Available in clear and tinted options
- Compatible with IGU configurations
- Reduces sound transmission by up to 90%

- Suitable for overhead glazing applications
Constraints
- Higher cost than monolithic glass ($110-320/m²)
- Cannot be tempered after lamination
- Edge sealing required in high moisture environments
- Potential delamination if exposed to prolonged moisture
- Limited fire resistance without special interlayers
- Weight considerations for larger panels
- Requires professional installation for warranty
- Not suitable for structural applications without SGP interlayer
- Thermal stress limitations in partial shading
- Special handling required during transport
