You sure about the layering? I thought there was tempered glass that is a
single layer used in window panes and for side and rear windows in cars and
laminated safety glass that is 3 layers, also known as auto glass, that is
used for windshields among other things. Could easily be wrong, but if fully
tempered glass is laminated it is news to me.
