| Enhanced Home Ownership Experience |
 Homeowners can choose laminated, high-performance glass in windows, doors and interior applications. Laminated glass contains a tough, clear inner layer of adhesive plastic, so the glass won't fall apart like ordinary window glass. Even after getting smashed, it continues to provide weather protection, family safety, and intrusion resistance.
In hurricane-prone coastal zones, laminated glass can be used instead of shutters to keep homes safe and meet building codes. Owners of laminated glass windows and doors enjoy effortless, full-time protection. Many discover additional, unexpected benefits as well.
Satisfied owners report:
"The most immediate thing I noticed was the quiet."
(Here's why:) The plastic interlayer in laminated glass reduces transmission of sound waves, reducing perceived noise levels by as much as a half.
"Our draperies and furniture are still bright and colorful; there's no fading."
(Here's why:) Inside most laminated glass, there's UV protection. Just like in suntan lotion, it blocks harmful UV rays.
"I'm finding more peace of mind than I expected, knowing I don't have to rush home to deploy shutters if a storm approaches."
(Market trend:) In economies with aging populations and growing numbers of retirees, ownership of second homes is rising; many such homes stay unoccupied for long periods.
"A neighbor's house was broken into, so I feel more comfortable with intrusion resistant windows."
(Interesting factoid:) Windows made with DuPont™ SentryGlas® Plus interlayers can withstand more than 30 minutes of bashing with a baseball bat by a 200-pound man.
