3. Laminated glass pathologies
Laminated glass defects (spalling and delamination) are most often related to assembly faults.
Bubbling and delamination are often the result of poor bonding during lamination and/or autoclave operations, which are important phases in laminated assembly. Delamination can be caused on site by a poorly drained rebate, or by failure to protect the edge of a laminate exposed to the elements (as on balconies, etc.) (table 5 ).
