Description
Laminated glass for use in sloped and overhead
glazing can be used monolithically or fabricated into
insulating glass units. Insulating glass units typically
consist of an outboard lite of heat-strengthened glass
that resists accidental damage caused by falling
objects, and an inboard laminated glass that captures
any fragments. Tempered glass is not normally
recommended for the outboard lite as small broken
particles can easily slide down the outside of
the roof and onto the ground in the event of
accidental damage.
