Types of Auto Safety Glass

LAMINATED GLASS Automobile LAMINATED GLASS
Automobile windshields are made of a special type of safety glass called laminated glass. Laminated glass is made up of two panes of glass with a thin layer of vinyl between them. It is this vinyl layer that helps keep the windshield from shattering into smaller pieces upon impact.

TEMPERED GLASSTEMPERED GLASS
Aside from your windshield, the rest of your vehicle’s glass is made of tempered glass.
