Laminated glass

TVPIPE

If having laminated glass in a residential house downstairs, would you have the 6.4mm laminated glass on the outside pane or the inside pane?

Also would this apply in the instance of a patio door or front door which also has tempered glass in one of the panes?

Thanks

Building regulations apply to both pieces of glass.

Thanks for responding to my post, however, I was really interested in whether the laminated glass should be the inside pane of the unit, or the outside pane

Why would you want laminated glass in a house?............

There is very little thermal benefit or security benefit and there is a safety issue with using laminated glass in a house.

I appreciate the effort members are making with comments so far, but they do not answer the question I posed. Irrespective of whether laminated glass is a good idea - I am look to find the correct placing of the laminated glass, as per my original questions.
Thanks:)

Not sure if this helps but I am having replacement sash windows made and the firm told me the acoustic laminated glass always goes on the outside to maximise sound reduction; the inner pane is low-e glass, and that works well to keep heat in.

System

It depends on what the reason is for laminating the glass

Approved Document N would give you building regs requirements? As you have not given all info, specs or why etc you’d only get speculative answers.... Its akin to asking how big a screw should I use?

As most of us have said ,you haven't given enough info but if you just want a inside/outside answer then inside would be better long term because over a long period of time if its on the outside water can get between the 2 panes and turn the membrane a milky colour. Also linseed oil putty can often react with the membrane.
