In brief
SGP laminated glass fits projects that need a stiffer interlayer to support shape retention and load transfer after breakage, especially balustrades, glass fins, and point-fixed panels designed as a complete system.
What changes
SGP is generally stiffer than standard PVB and is considered when post-breakage behavior or higher load transfer is required.
Typical uses
Typical uses include glass balustrades, fins, point-fixed panels, and canopies, subject to full-system calculation.
Do not specify by name alone
Glass type, thickness, size, fixing, temperature, and load duration all matter and require system-design review.
Details that need control
SGP work should resolve edge support, holes, fittings, overhangs, and edge protection from water or moisture together with the glass build-up and expected loads.
