Dear Glass Detective,<\/em><\/p>\n I have a large window (74″ x 96″) that has a bullet hole in it. Would you recommend replacing with tempered glass or laminated glass?<\/em><\/p>\n Thanks,<\/em><\/p>\n David W.<\/em><\/p>\n David,<\/p>\n Thank you for contacting the Glass Detective with your request for some help in knowing what may be the best approach for replacing a piece of glass that has a bullet hole in it. Here are some thoughts for you:<\/p>\n First, if you expect this to happen again in the future, you may want to consider using a bullet resting glass which is typically made up of several layers of annealed glass<\/a> with a vinyl interlayer between the glass panels.<\/p>\n Secondly, as for whether laminated or tempered glass is better for a replacement product in your situation, neither will stop a bullet but laminated glass should stay in the opening after it is broken much better than will a piece of tempered glass.<\/p>\nAnswer About Replacing Glass Damaged with Bullet Hole:<\/h2>\n
