Q What is the best option - toughened glass or laminated glass? What is the difference? I have a child - am I right in saying that toughened glass is more dangerous if smashed? Is one more secure than the other?


A. Both Toughened and Laminated glass are forms of "safety" glass. People often assume that toughened glass is some form of EXTRA STRONG glass - perhaps a little like "bullet proof glass". However in our opinion "break safely glass" would be a better description of toughened glass. When it does break it will break into very small sections. These small sections may, if you are unlucky, give you some scratches or minor cuts but will not pose the danger created by large glass shards when "normal" float glass breaks. Laminated glass will, when hit with force, "crack". However it is unlikely to smash. This is of course an advantage if security is a major consideration. Laminated glass is also "thicker" - usually starting at 6.mm - and as such will offer better insulation.
