GLASS LAMINATES HAVING IMPROVED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AGAINST SEVERE STRESSES FOR USE IN EXTERNAL PRESSURE PLATE GLAZING APPLICATIONS

摘要

This invention is an architectural glazing structure for exterior mounting that is a glass laminate having enhanced resistance to being pulled from a frame upon being subjected to severe positive and/or negative pressure loads. This invention is particularly suitable for architectural structures having windows that can be subjected to the extreme conditions prevalent in a hurricane, or window that can be placed under severe stress from repeated forceful blows to the laminate.
