    kapatid, ang pagkaalam ko ay meron very thin film sa gitna ng salamin kapag laminated. said film will hold it in place & prevent the broken glass from spreading/exploding out in case it gets shattered. if smashing it is not an option, try to see the edges at meron very thin line sa gitna which is the laminated film..

    i guess, the other one is simply called "tempered" glass..

    for the experts and gurus out there, paki correct na lang po kung mali man ako..

    as for aguila, i recall until two years back, that they are a reputable shop for windshield..

    edit: aside po syempre dun sa printed markings on the corner of the glass:twak:

    there are usually markings:

    TSG - tempered safety glass, this is not laminated

    i think if you run your fingernail over the edge you'll feel the plastic layer

    may mga parang rainbows ang tempered glass kung titignan mo ang glass at an angle. ang laminated, clear sya from any angle.

    ok naman ang aguila auto glass.

    The type of glass should be written on the glass itself. Tempered will usually be indicated by the word 'Tempered' and or a letter 'T' at the center of a ring composed of broken lines.

    Tempered glass is made by heating and cooling glass.

    Laminated is made by laminating a plastic film between two glass layers.

    Aguila is OK. The people who own Aguila actually like cars.
