Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a laminate preform. The laminate preform includes a first glass ply having a first major surface and a second major surface. The second major surface is opposite to the first major surface. A thickness of the first glass ply is defined between the first major surface and the second major surface. The thickness is 2 mm or less. The laminate preform also includes an adhesive region having a third major surface and a fourth major surface. The third major surface is disposed on the second major surface of the first glass ply. The third major surface of the adhesive region includes at least a portion of area not bonded to the second major surface so that air can flow between the third major surface and the second major surface.
