Ventajas del Vidrio Laminado en Barandillas

  • Seguridad ante rotura: In the event of impact, the fragments remain adhered to the PVB sheet, preventing glass falls that could cause serious injuries.
  • Protección UV: La capa de PVB filtra más del 99% de la radiación ultravioleta, protegiendo muebles y pavimentos de la decoloración.
  • Aislamiento acústico superior: The PVB intermediate layer acts as a sound wave absorber, reducing outside noise between 35 and 37 dB.
  • Resistencia a cargas de viento: Withstands wind pressures of up to 1.5 kN/m², ideal for terraces and balconies in coastal areas such as the Marina Alta.
  • Exceptional durability: Vida útil estimada de más de 30 años con un mantenimiento mínimo.

Sostenibilidad y Eficiencia Energética

Laminated glass railings contribute to the energy efficiency of the home in several ways:

  • Aprovechamiento de luz natural: With a light transmission of 87%, it allows illuminating interior spaces without the need for artificial light during the day, which can mean savings of up to 15% in electricity.
  • Material 100% reciclable: Both glass and PVB can be recycled at the end of their useful life, reducing environmental impact.
  • Huella de carbono reducida: Modern manufacturing of laminated glass has reduced its CO₂ emissions by 40% in the last decade.
  • Certificación medioambiental: Our glass meets the standards of the environmental product declaration (DAP/EPD) according to ISO 14025.

Consejos de Instalación y Mantenimiento

To ensure maximum durability of your laminated glass railing, we recommend:

  1. Limpieza regular: Use warm water with neutral soap and a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive products that could scratch the surface.
  2. Revisión de anclajes: Check the fixing points every 6 months to verify that there are no loose parts.
  3. Sellado perimetral: Revisa el sellado de silicona cada 2 años y renuévalo si muestra deterioro.
  4. Protección durante obras: If you are doing renovations near the railing, protect it with plastic to avoid splashes of cement or paint.

¿Sabías que…?

Laminated glass was invented in 1903 by French chemist Édouard Bénédictus when he accidentally dropped a laboratory flask containing a residue of cellulose nitrate. The flask cracked but did not break. This chance discovery revolutionized the glass industry and today protects millions of homes around the world.

    We have a terrace on the fourth floor with sea views and we want to put a glass railing. Is the 6+6 laminate safe enough for small children? Thank you.

    Perfect information! We installed a 6+6 laminated glass railing last year. Very safe and the views are incredible. Our children are 4 and 6 years old, no problems.
