Why Laminated Yacht Glass Is Critical for Your Vessel
Operating in marine environments means subjecting your yacht’s glass to some of the most demanding conditions imaginable. Saltwater corrosion, extreme temperature variations, constant exposure to sunlight, high winds, mechanical impacts from waves and debris, and the general motion of the vessel all contribute to an environment that can quickly degrade ordinary glass. Using standard glass in these settings not only compromises the longevity of your yacht’s windows and panels but also places passengers and crew at unnecessary risk.
Laminated yacht glass is engineered specifically to address these challenges. It consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a durable interlayer, typically made from polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This construction offers superior strength, resilience, and safety compared to regular glass. When subjected to impact or stress, laminated glass holds its shape rather than shattering into dangerous shards. This key feature maintains the integrity of your vessel’s structure and protects those onboard from injury.
