Stratified glass for general safety Evo.Safe
SAV2000 Armour-plated glass installations make our homes a highly protected environment in cases of shattering glass: The plastic sheet inserted within the glass “captures”all flying glass created during breakage avoiding in this way any type of injury which may occur.
The European norm UNI EN 12600 E establishes the impact performance to be calculated by following an efficiency test called pendulum test. It consists in launching a semi-rigid object against the sheet simulating in this way a human body impact.
Classification
The classification estabilish for the distinction between fall height and breakage type.
Fall Height:
1) 1200 mm
2) 450 mm
3) 190 mm
Breaking Type:
A) Breaking with separate fragments (float glass. thermally hardened and chemically tempered:
B) Breakage with compact fragments (laminated glass, armored, clear float with adhesive film);
C) Disintegration into small particles (thermally tempered glass).
Some examples
A laminated glass is classified as 1B1 if it resists to impact from a falling height of 1200 mm without allowing penetration.
A laminated glass is classified 2B2 if it resists to impact from a fall height of 450 mm without allowing penetration.
A thermally tempered glass is classified as 1C1 if it resists to impact from a fall of 1200 mm without breaking.
Advantages of laminated glass simple safety
- integration of thermal insulation and anti-lesion characteristics;
- useful in high-risk applications (shower enclosures, doors and windows), especially in the presence of children and wherever there is a risk of falling into the void.
