Which statement best describes Laminated Glass?

• A. Consists of a piece of vinyl sandwiched between two 'lites' of glass
• B. All glass, other than windshield
• C. The last piece of glass on the side attached to the body
• D. A type of glass tempered by chemical process

Answer: (A)

Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a plastic interlayer between two panes of glass, typically a vinyl (PVB) layer. This interlayer holds the glass together if the surface is struck or broken, preventing shards from flying and helping maintain the barrier—why windshields are usually laminated. The description that mentions a vinyl interlayer between two glass panes matches this construction exactly, making it the best choice. The other statements describe different concepts (tempered glass, or vague/incorrect scenarios) that don’t capture how laminated glass is built or how it behaves upon impact.
