Laminated glass is used for which component?

• A. Windshield
• B. Side Window
• C. Rear Window
• D. Moonroof

Answer: (A)

Laminated glass uses two layers of glass bonded with a plastic interlayer, usually PVB, which holds the glass together when struck. This design stops or greatly slows penetration by rocks, debris, or impacts and helps keep the driver’s vision clear because shards stay attached to the interlayer rather than flying around the cabin. That safety feature makes laminated glass the standard choice for windshields. Side and rear windows are typically tempered glass, which breaks into small, blunt pieces to reduce cut risk but doesn’t provide the same barrier to intrusion as laminated glass. Moonroofs are usually tempered glass as well, though some designs may use laminated glass for specific benefits. So, the windshield is the component that uses laminated glass.
