QUOTE(kamion @ Aug 26 2011, 01:16 PM) I think tempered glass means that it will shatter into small pieces that do not have sharp edges and will not cut. Laminated glass means that even if shattered, it will still "stick" together because they are laminated together. You are right. To add on, glasses all have a tendency of self breaking. About 2% if not mistaken. Thus, if TS main concern is safety of kids. Go straight to laminated glass as for the above reason. |

QUOTE(weikee @ Aug 27 2011, 10:50 AM) Depend what kind of safety we talking. When lami glass break, it will cut easily, and strength are much lower compare to tempered. You notice shopping center will use tempered glass for most of the area like escalator, walk way etc. Lami glass will not shatter, it will stick as a piece. Tendency of cut is lower as compare to a shatter glass.If you want strength and safety, put tempered + tint, but will be very expensive. As TS mentioned, he want to install it at staircase area, force to knock on it shall be minimum. But you are right, if cost is not an issue. Temp+lami is the best.
