laminated and tempered glass

VELUX's Tempered Glass is a safety glass, in the sense that if it should break, it will fall into the room in small square pieces, as opposed to sharp pieces. The Laminated Glass is our Clean, Quiet & Safe Glass. Clean - it features a Neat glass coating to keep your skylight cleaner longer, leaving skylights virtually spotless. Quiet - Reduces unwanted outside noise by up to 25% less than a standard double pane glass, and up to 50% less than a plastic skylight. Safe - VELUX recommends and building codes require laminated glass for out of reach applications. The laminated glass, should it break, will not fall into the room. It will stay attached to the skylight similar to a car windshield. I hope this is helpful. Thank you for choosing VELUX!
