Manufacturing Process


	LAMINATED GLASS: MANUFACTURING PROCESS The raw glass is scrubbed clean to remove any impurities, after which the first sheet of quality float glass is fed along the laminating line. A PVB interlayer is drawn over the first sheet of glass and a second sheet of glass is then placed on top of the PVB to create a 'sandwich'. This 'sandwich' passes through a specialised press and heating process which removes most of the air and effectively fuses the three items. The laminated sheets are then stacked in a specific configuration for loading into an autoclave. Finished laminated sheets are stacked in a dedicated laminates warehouse. A silver metallic coating can be applied to a surface of high quality float glass, by the magnetron sputter process in order to enhance the solar heat eliminating properties of laminated glass.
