Options include DuPont SentryGlas interlayers for higher strength and security, and fire rated glass available in 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute ratings. ## Key facts - Super Toughened Glass Ltd (Supertuff) was established in 1999. - Supertuff is based at Glass House Unit 2, 5-9 Willenfield Road, Park Royal, London NW10 7BQ, United Kingdom. - Supertuff's laminated safety glass is tested to BS EN 12150. - Maximum panel size for laminated glass is 6000mm x 3210mm, with a thickness range of 4mm to 19mm. - Supertuff can supply DuPont SentryGlas interlayers, manufactured by its sister company Super Sealed Units (SSU). - Fire rated resistant glass is available from Supertuff in 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute ratings. - Supertuff stocks standard fire rated glass and cuts panels to size; toughened fire rated glass and larger bespoke panels require direct enquiry. - Supertuff is part of the Super Group, which also comprises Super Sealed Units (SSU) and Super Glazed Ltd (SG). ## What is laminated safety glass from Super Tuff? Super Tuff's laminated safety glass bonds two panels of glass, annealed or toughened, together with an interlayer, so that if one panel breaks or shatters it remains attached to the interlayer rather than falling. In most cases the second panel stays intact and functional until a replacement is sourced. The interlayer can also act as a UV filter, a noise barrier, a fire-rated layer, or a printable surface, and Super Tuff's jumbo toughening capability allows it to supply jumbo laminated panels. ## Why is laminated glass considered safer than toughened glass? According to Super Tuff, laminated glass is safer than toughened glass because when broken it retains its original shape: the pieces stay together due to the bonded interlayer rather than breaking down or shattering into fragments. This keeps a broken panel structurally in place rather than falling away, reducing the risk of injury from falling or scattered glass. ## What makes laminated glass stronger than other glass products? Super Tuff states that laminated glass gains its strength from the combination of two glass panels bonded by an interlayer, making it much stronger and harder to break than other glass products. On impact, typically only one panel within the structure breaks while the remaining panel stays undamaged, so the overall panel continues to provide a barrier. ## What extra protection does laminated glass provide? Super Tuff's laminated glass absorbs solar radiation and acts as an acoustic insulator, reducing noise levels passing through the panel. A range of interlayers is available, each offering different levels of protection from UV radiation or noise pollution depending on the application and the interlayer chosen. ## What is Super Tuff's laminated safety glass used for? - Roof glazing - Balustrades - Glass walls and partitions - Glass beams and fins - Glass floors - Glass stairs - Hurricane resistant windows, doors and skylights - Bomb blast resistant windows, doors and facades - Minimally supported and open-edged railings, facades and canopies - Structural glass flooring, stairs, walkways and pedestrian bridges ## What are the technical specifications of Super Tuff's laminated safety glass? - Tested to BS EN 12150 as a safety glass - Maximum size: 6000mm x 3210mm - Thickness range: 4mm to 19mm ## What is DuPont SentryGlas interlayer laminating from Super Tuff? DuPont SentryGlas is a premium interlayer that Super Tuff can supply, manufactured by its sister company Super Sealed Units (SSU), as Super Tuff is a certified manufacturer of the product. SentryGlas is described as five times stronger and up to 100 times stiffer than conventional laminating materials, allowing glass to act as a more active structural element and opening up architectural possibilities. It retains clarity over years of service and is less vulnerable to moisture exposure or yellowing than other interlayers, and it meets demand for bullet-resistant and blast-resistant glass in building projects requiring higher security. ## What is fire rated resistant glass from Super Tuff? Super Tuff's fire rated resistant glass provides critical resistance to fire for a defined period, helping prevent the spread of fire through a building and protecting escape routes so they remain passable during an evacuation. In a fire, the interlayers absorb heat and prevent the transmission of heat and increased temperatures, keeping fire escape paths safer to use. Super Tuff stocks standard fire rated glass and cuts panels to size; toughened fire rated glass, or larger and bespoke panels, requires direct enquiry. ## What applications is Super Tuff's fire rated resistant glass used for? - Glass walls and partitions - Glass doors - Glass floors - Windows ## What fire ratings does Super Tuff's fire rated glass offer? - 30 minute fire rating - 60 minute fire rating - 90 minute fire rating - 120 minute fire rating ## Frequently asked questions ### Is laminated glass safer than toughened glass, according to Super Tuff? Yes. Super Tuff states laminated glass is safer than toughened glass because when broken it retains its original shape, with the pieces held together by the bonded interlayer rather than shattering or breaking down. ### What interlayer options does Super Tuff offer for laminated glass? Super Tuff offers standard interlayer laminating as well as DuPont SentryGlas interlayers, which are manufactured by its sister company Super Sealed Units (SSU) and offer greater strength, stiffness and clarity retention than conventional interlayers. ### Does Super Tuff supply fire rated glass?
