PGT® has led the impact industry for more
than 40 years.
PGT’s Glass Sandwich™ is at the heart of our commitment to safeguarding your family’s home.
This is a short introduction about the different types of glass we offer: Laminated Glass – Glass Sandwich™ and Laminated Insulating Glass.
Laminated glass is composed of two pieces of glass bonded together with a strong clear interlayer. Once sealed, the glass “sandwich” behaves as a single unit and is transparent like ordinary glass. Exceptionally strong, laminated glass is ideal for homes that regularly experience severe weather and the risk of impact during storms.
Laminated insulating glass is composed of three panes of glass: two panes of glass bonded together with a strong, clear interlayer for impact resistance; and one pane for added insulation.
Building on the coast requires intentional consideration to ensure the surrounding environment is as unaffected as possible. Turtle Glass by PGT helps reduce our impact on the turtle population by keeping as much artificial light off the beach as possible, ensuring newborn hatchlings find their way home.
