The glass is preferably toughened glass. Also disclosed is a laminated glazing comprising two plies of glass, laminated by a sheet of interlayer material therebetween, wherein at least one ply of glass or the sheet of interlayer material is body tinted, said glazing having a low emissivity coating on its interior surface.
