ToughView™

ToughView™ is a premium structural laminated glass manufactured using the SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer.

ToughView™

Engineered for demanding architectural applications, it delivers exceptional strength, stiffness and long-term durability while maintaining the outstanding clarity expected of premium laminated glass. Compared to conventional PVB interlayers, SentryGlas® is up to five times stronger and 100 times stiffer, allowing for slimmer glass constructions, greater structural performance and increased design flexibility.

What is SentryGlas®?

SentryGlas® is a high-performance ionoplast interlayer developed for structural laminated glass applications. Its exceptional strength and rigidity provide improved load transfer between glass panes, resulting in a stronger, more durable laminated glass product.

Unlike conventional interlayers, SentryGlas® offers excellent edge stability, superior resistance to moisture and yellowing, and maintains exceptional optical clarity over time. These properties make ToughView™ an ideal choice for projects where structural performance, safety and long-term durability are critical.

Suitable For

ToughView™ is designed for projects requiring enhanced structural performance and durability. It is commonly specified for:

  • Structural glazing

  • Frameless glass balustrades

  • Glass canopies

  • Glass floors and walkways

  • Glass façades

  • High-performance security glazing

Product Considerations

  • ToughView™ is manufactured as a custom laminated glass product using the SentryGlas® interlayer.

  • Glass type, interlayer thickness and construction should be selected to suit the structural and performance requirements of each project.

  • All cutting, drilling and edgework must be completed prior to lamination.

  • Technical support and performance data are available to assist with specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both ToughView™ and ToughGuard™ are custom laminated safety glass products, but they are designed for different applications. ToughGuard™ uses a premium PVB interlayer and is suitable for most architectural laminated glass applications. ToughView™ uses the SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer, providing significantly greater strength and stiffness for structural glazing, exposed edge installations and other demanding applications.

ToughView™ is manufactured using the SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer, which is significantly stronger and stiffer than traditional PVB interlayers. This increased strength allows ToughView™ to be specified for demanding structural and high-performance glazing applications where standard laminated glass may not be suitable.

Yes. ToughView™ is well suited to many exposed edge glazing applications, including frameless balustrades and structural glazing, thanks to the durability and moisture resistance of the SentryGlas® interlayer. The suitability of the glass construction should always be confirmed for the intended application.

Yes. ToughView™ is specifically designed for structural glazing applications where increased strength and stiffness are required. Typical applications include glass balustrades, canopies, staircases, floors and other engineered glazing systems. Final glass selection should always be confirmed by the project engineer.

Yes. ToughView™ can be manufactured using a range of glass types, including Clear, Low Iron, Tinted and Obscure Glass, with multiple SentryGlas® interlayer thicknesses available to suit project requirements. We can also manufacture ToughView™ to custom sizes and shapes, including holes, notches and cut-outs, with all fabrication completed prior to lamination.

Yes. ToughView™ can be incorporated into a ToughEco™ Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) where projects require both the structural benefits of SentryGlas® laminated glass and improved thermal performance.

Yes. Like other laminated glass products, ToughView™ helps block up to 99% of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, assisting in protecting interior furnishings from fading while maintaining excellent clarity.
