Using Laminated Glass in Auto Windows

Many automakers are changing the type of glass used in side and rear windows. Tempered glass has been the standard on the side windows of cars for several decades, but many automakers are switching to laminated glass. 

Laminated glass, long the standard on front windshields, can now be found on the side windows of many automobiles. Laminated glass differs from tempered glass, which is designed to break in smaller, safer chunks. 

Using laminated glass in auto windows keeps the car quieter in the cabin and can be more fuel-efficient. It can keep would-be thieves out because penetrating it can be nearly impossible. For that same reason, it also can reduce injury to passengers from flying pieces of glass in accidents.

To figure out what kind of glass is in the side window of your car, you can look in the bottom corner for of the glass for a label that says "tempered" or "laminated."
