Toughened glass roof glazing.
Toughened laminated glass is similar to annealed laminated glass but the sheets of glass that are laminated together have been toughened and heat soak tested.
This glass has all the benefits of toughened glass but without the risk of pieces of glass falling from the roof light if one or both of the sheets of glass in the laminate break.
For double glazing the lower pane should be one of either pilkington optilam or pilkington pyroshield 2 and the upper pane need not be a safety glass.
