Question
If a knife is given enough force could it pierce through laminated glass?

Well, a bullet passes through a laminated glass and I do not understand why a knife will not pass through a laminated glass.

But I do not mean that it will cut through - like it does with a piece a paper. Glass is harder than steel (well most common) and a knife can crack through a plane glass. Cutting through the plastic layer will not be a problem. And the second layer. But because the broken pieces does not fall off, it is a messy job. There is a picture of a hammer being used to break open the front wind shield of a car; the knife will work in the same way with lots of force.chami 17:00, 23 August 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ck.mitra (talk • contribs)

bullet proof glass
"Bulletproof glass is often made of several float glass, toughened glass and Perspex panels,"

Perspex (PMMA, acrylic, plexiglas) is unsuitable for bulletproof glass, IMO. Darsie from german wiki pedia (talk) 22:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

More likely it uses polycarbonate (Lexan being a common brand name) instead as that is much stronger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.175.46 (talk) 19:49, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Clarification of differences from Corelle Vitrelle
This appears to talk about a different kind of glass than what Corelle dishware is made from. They talk about the glass having 3-layers, but it appears that the layers are poured at once, at temperature, without any bonding layer between them.

Should this be made more clear? Is this some other way to make laminated glass? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.155.94 (talk) 21:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Cutting
Please note the citation to the UK government glass safety page now goes to a 404 not found page. That site does not have a page dealing specifically with laminate glass cutting. Is there a more suitable citation? Pmiddlemas (talk) 13:54, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Since, as you say, the site no longer has a page dealing with laminate glass, I've changed the reference to point at a 2007 archived version at archive.org. --McGeddon (talk) 14:43, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Question
Why is there no mention of the infamous "glass necklace" in the history section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.206.225 (talk) 22:52, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

"Safety Glass" versus Laminated Glass
This article pertains to laminated glass. As an old fart I can assure folk the 1950s and 1960s cars I first drove had no laminated windscreens, just the basic toughened glass through which unbelted passengers passed freely in crash events. Laminated windscreens did not become mainstream in the UK and European car market until the late sixties, first as optional extras, then as standard on luxury models, finally standard for all. The current article is therefore substantially inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirelly (talk • contribs) 17:27, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
