Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is made up of two layers of glass bonded together with a layer of plastic in between called the PVB layer which stands for Polyvinyl Butyral. Exterior window tint is safer to install on laminated glass than interior window film, as it is less likely to cause the glass to crack.
