Enhanced protective glass is laminated glass. It provides added protection against injury to vehicle occupants in an accident, and added protection against theft of valuables when parked.
If broken, laminated glass in the side windows of vehicles reduces the potential injury to passengers from flying pieces of glass. Testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has shown that vehicles equipped with both side laminated glass and side curtain air bags provide better occupant retention during vehicle rollover than vehicles equipped with air bags alone.
NHTSA estimates that up to 1,300 lives could be saved each year if all vehicles were equipped with laminated glass.
When your vehicle is parked or at a stoplight, laminated glass yeilds up to 10 times better penetration resistance than tempered glass – providing an added deterrent to would-be theives and protection for your valuables.
