| Glass, a material with the unique property to let light inside an area, is normally used in building practice as just an enclosure. Its use in facades is also due to its chemically inert properties; it can be cleaned easily and remains good for many years.
| Laminated safety glass with SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer is helping to ensure the safety and security of visitors to the recently upgraded glass floor and balustrades on the first floor of The Eiffel Tower – the most visited paying monument in the world.
| TROSIFOL®Sound Control (SC), a sound-attenuating PVB acoustic film from Kuraray, has given Marvel Architects the ability to incorporate a substantial glazed façade on a residential development, which would otherwise may not have been feasible due to localised noise levels from the surrounding local.

| Designed and built by Bellapart s.a.u. between May 2001 and June 2003, the atrium roof and façades of the Endesa Headquarters in Madrid, Spain, have recently undergone inspection and testing to check for any degradation in the glazing.
| The initial design concept called upon a structure that drew inspiration from the surrounding environment and then extending and integrating it in a way that did not detract from the beauty of the site.
| Frank Lloyd Wright's reasoning for the building design was that he wanted the Kaufmann family to live with the waterfalls, to make them part of their everyday life, and not just to look at them now and then.

| With maximum light capture being a major part of the design brief, the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center, the home of the University of Baltimore School of Law, is a fascinating example of how DuPont™ SentryGlas® can be deployed for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
| Differently from traditional structural materials, the structural behaviour of laminated glasses exhibits some anomalies due to the difference in the stressstrain laws of their components: glass is a brittle material, while PVB and SGP are thermoplastic materials with a visco-elastic behaviour.
| Laminated glasses consist of two or more glass sheets bonded together with plastic interlayers. The lamination gives to LGs a safer behaviour than monolithic glasses, avoiding injuries to people in case of breakage.
