  • Publication number: 20190111664
    Abstract: A laminated pane having two main surfaces and a circumferential edge surface is presented. The laminated pane includes, in order and adhesively joined one atop another, a transparent glass pane, a transparent adhesion-promoting layer, an opaque or translucent stone layer, and an all-around seal of the circumferential edge surface. According to one aspect, the all-around seal has at least two polymer layers of different materials. One of the polymer layers is an adhesive film that engages, on its boundary layer, in pores and/or cracks of the stone layer. The other polymer layer is a barrier film that forms a fluid barrier. Methods for producing and using of the laminated pane are also presented.
