# Laminated Glass (Safety)

![Safety Glass](https://metalco.epikouros.events/_images/products/Laminated/safetyglass.jpg)

### Description

Safety as a concept covers a wide area and comprises several aspects:

- Protecting persons against injuries caused by
  - Broken and sharp pieces of glass
  - A fall (defenestration)
- Protecting goods and safety against burglary and vandalism of private homes, shops and offices. In this case, the glass should remain in place and should prevent burglars/vandals from entering
- Safety against firearms
- Safety in the event of an explosion

Only a small number of glass products meet the breakage, defenestration and resistance criteria detailed above.

There are two main families of safety products available from Metalco:

- Thermally toughened products and thermally toughened Heat Soak Tested (HST) products - see fire resistant glazing section
- Laminated products such as Stratobel and Stratophone
