Laminated windscreen

With Finn Lamex, every customer gets the same first-rate windscreens manufactured with quality raw materials — which are then customised for the unique needs of each customer.

The benefits of laminated glass

The quality of Finn Lamex’s laminated windscreens start with high-quality raw materials from the leading suppliers in the industry, which are then crafted using their unique expertise and custom-built production line.

Finn Lamex uses only laminated safety glass in their windscreen production. During the lamination process, two sheets of glass are fused together with PVB film to prevent shattering in the case of a break, increasing safety for the driver, passengers, and pedestrians. The laminated glass blocks more than 90 % of the ultraviolet radiation for example.

One important point in the windscreens is the reflection and blocking of sunlight energy. Sunlight consists of light energy, infrared light and ultraviolet energy which are reflected and blocked depending on the glass tinting and composition.

Colour options:

Clear glass. For maximal clarity

Tinted glass in a wide range of colours. Naturally blocks light energy.

Green or grey tinted glass are the most frequently chosen options which reduce the amount of light energy transmitted. This keeps the passengers and driver more comfortable and cuts down on the amount of energy needed for example for air conditioning.

“One of the differences between clear and tinted glass is the LT – or light transmission – values. For windscreens, the light transmission must be above 70%. Clear glass has a high light transmission value – between 85 and 90% – and tinted glass can achieve more comfort in the cabin, with lower light transmission from 70% to 85%. For non-windscreens, light transmission of less than 70% is allowed. For example, in a double-decker bus with an upper glass of 10% light transmittance, only 10% of the light energy from the sun will pass through.”

Expertly curved windscreens

When it comes to producing curved windscreens, we have the production equipment and know-how to execute the best results for its customers. Our comfort and skill at producing difficult curves offers a clear competitive advantage — but why choose curved glass in the first place?

Simply put, a curved wrap around glass offers the best combination of aerodynamics, visibility, and design. A curved windscreen enables the A-frame support to be moved further back, improving the visibility to the sides, and eliminating blindspots.

A lot of design needs to be done to improve aerodynamics, achieve the best visibility for the driver and get the desired appearance to meet the customer’s needs.

Aleksi Hannukoski, Production Manager

We have a thorough understanding of the end use cases of our windscreens and we take that into account in everything we do. It’s one of the unique benefits of Finn Lamex that we can produce more visually striking and tailor-made curved windscreen solutions for our customers. At the same time, we take a realistic view on the physical limits of glass as a material.

“Just like we have the courage to take on challenging projects, we also have the courage to say if something is not technically or physically possible.”
