Glass Floors and Stairs
For load-bearing safety glass floors and stairs, laminates made with DuPont™ SentryGlas® offer an extra level of deflection strength and structural integrity.
Clear, tough and as much as 100 times stiffer than PVB, DuPont™ SentryGlas® ionoplast helps structural engineers design laminated glass with a "wow" factor.
The following area features examples of SentryGlas® use in glass floors and stairs. For more design examples, see the complete Design Gallery.
