Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is two layers of glass bonded around a PVB interlayer; it is standard for windscreens worldwide and offers some inherent UV rejection.

Windscreens are universally laminated to prevent shattering on impact and to provide structural rigidity. The PVB interlayer typically rejects 95%+ of UV on its own, so windscreen film does not need to do that heavy lifting.

Laminated glass also behaves slightly differently under heat-shrink. The film cannot "bond into" the glass the way it can on tempered side glass. Installers use slightly different solution mixes and squeegee technique.

For Singapore vehicles, laminated windscreens combined with a quality clear-IR film yield very high combined performance: 95%+ UV blocked, strong solar heat rejection, 70%+ VLT.
