What is Seismic Glass?
Laminated glass performs very well in seismic
applications because the plastic interlayer holds
most of the glass fragments following cracking,
which significantly reduces the potential of glass
falling to the ground. In addition, the complete
glass unit tends to be retained in the frame.
Where should I use it?
Earthquake-resistant glass should be used in all
fenestration in seismic-prone areas. Applications
include storefronts, curtain walls and other
commercial glazing.
