Step 7 of 7 · The build-up

Construction

Finish where the glass is actually built: the two lites and the safety laminate that bond them — the structural foundation every choice above rides on.

First & Second Glass
First & Second Glass Clear, tinted, or mirror · tempered or annealed · various thicknesses
Two lites, each independently specified for the opening, the code, and the look.
Safety Laminate
Safety Laminate Clear interlayer · .060″ or .125 mm
The code-rated bond that makes it safety glass — and the canvas every option above is built into.
