The difference between tempered glass and laminated glass

There are two types of glass used in skylights, tempered glass and safety laminated glass. Tempered glass has an additional degree of hardness that makes the glass shatter into small pieces rather than large shards of glass when it breaks. Laminated safety glass is a combination of two pieces of heat strengthened glass bonded together with a plastic (PVB) inner layer that holds the glass together if it gets broken.
