Bringing up laminated glass for a storefront caused a quiet debate

We were replacing a large store window, and the team always uses tempered glass for strength. I suggested laminated might be better for sound reduction and security. This led to a few uncomfortable glances and a quiet chat over coffee break. The client overheard and asked for laminated, which we installed without issue.

The security difference gets real with that plastic interlayer holding broken glass together. A determined thief with a brick will just go through tempered panes, but laminated makes them work for it. Your client was smart to ignore the side-eye and ask for the better product.

Hey @dylanf78, laminated glass is tougher for sure. But tempered panes aren't so easy to break either - they can take a good hit. Your client still picked well going with laminated.
