SAFTI FIRST Now Offering Laminated Safety Glass with SGCC Certifications

In a previous blog, I shared that we have expanded our glass fabrication capabilities with the addition of a fully automated, state-of-the-art Pujol 100+ laminating line.  I am excited to share that we have successfully completed SGCC (Safety Glazing Certification Council) certification requirements.  We are approved to fabricate and label annealed, heat strengthened or tempered laminated safety glazing with a maximum individual lite size of 98” x 177”, depending on the laminate roll and type.   We can produce the most common laminated glass make-ups using either a PVB, EVA or SGP interlayer (see below), as well as custom make-ups up to 500 mm (19.685 in) thick with multiple interlayers, glass, polycarbonates and other custom sheets.  We can accommodate custom shapes as well!

Below are some of the most common applications of laminated safety glass that we are now able to supply with our recent SGCC certification:

•    Glass Floors  
•    Glass Stairs  
•    Glass Railings  
•    Sloped or Overhead Glazing   
•    Atriums  
•    Building Facades, Storefronts, Windows and Doors    
•    Glass Partitions  
•    Elevator Enclosures  
•    Acoustical Glass  
•    Safety Shower Enclosures   
•    And more!

With our Pujol 100+ laminating line can, we can also fabricate colored glass; decorative glass with organic inserted-fabric, metals, stones and papers; mirrored or one-way glass; switchable glass and bird-friendly glass.

All of these laminated glass products can be combined with our full line of fire rated glass, openings, walls, doors and floors up to 2 hours – providing designers and owners with maximum creativity and flexibility!

We are also working on additional testing and certifications for hurricane glass, ballistic glass, burglary resistant glass, forced entry, bomb blast, detention and psychiatric.   We are also developing glass door, wall and opening assemblies to meet the new active shooter standard, ASTM F3561: Standard Test Method for Forced-Entry-Resistance of Fenestration Systems After Simulated Active Shooter Attack.
