AGC glass offers noise reduction, acoustic comfort and safety by preventing sharp pieces

Laminated Acoustic Glass

Enjoy a quiet journey

What is Laminated Acoustic Glass?

The lamination process bonds two pieces of glass together using an acoustic plastic interlayer sheet, giving a stronger structure that is harder to break.

The plastic interlayer improves acoustic performance, giving strong reductions of external noise for a more comfortable and focused drive.

Features and benefits

Quiet drive for best EV experience

Strong reduction of traffic and surrounding noises, for a more comfortable journey

Enables people to speak without shouting

Reduces traffic noise but powerful external sounds (horns, sirens, etc.), necessary for safety, remain audible

Safer glass

Safer in the event of accidents: in case of glass breakage, prevents sharp shards of glass from being propelled inside the vehicle

Intrusion resistance

Efficient against break-ins: slows down intrusion attempts (typically by more than 10 minutes)

Material protection

Prevents the interior of the vehicle from color fading on surfaces such as the dashboard, fabrics, and leather seats

Allows thinner glass

Enables a reduction in the thickness of the windshield without adversely affecting noise levels

Technical information

What is Laminated Acoustic glass?

The lamination process bonds two pieces of glass together using an acoustic plastic interlayer sheet, giving a stronger structure that is harder to break.

Safety and Security: limited intrusion risk

The plastic interlayer holds glass pieces together in case of breakage, reducing the risk of flying shards of glass or passenger ejection outside the vehicle in case of accident.

Requires up to 10 minutes to penetrate the glazing, giving increased protection against theft, intrusion, or carjacking

Strong noise reduction

The plastic interlayer improves acoustic performance, giving strong reductions of external noise for a more comfortable and focused drive.

It also reduces wind noise which is increasingly audible and intrusive at speeds above 70 km/h. It can also reduce noise coming from the engine, air friction, road surface and passing vehicles. It enhances the in-car experience.
