Today, modern architecture cannot do without glass. The openness and excellent transparency of glass enable buildings to quickly break free from heaviness and darkness, becoming lighter and more agile. More importantly, glass allows people inside the building to comfortably interact with the outdoors and communicate with nature within a certain level of safety.
With the rapid development of modern building material technology, the types of glass are also increasing. Basic lighting, transparency, and safety are self-evident, and glass with higher performance and functionality is also emerging one after another. As the core component of doors and windows, how should these dazzling glass be chosen?
Tempered glass
Tempered glass is a high-strength glass formed by reprocessing the original float glass, which has the characteristics of high strength, high temperature resistance, and high safety. When damaged by external forces, the fragments will form small, obtuse angle particles resembling honeycomb shapes, which are less likely to cause serious harm to the human body and belong to safety glass.
insulating glass
Hollow glass is made up of two (or three) pieces of glass, which are bonded to an aluminum alloy frame containing a desiccant using a high-strength and high airtightness composite adhesive. Hollow glass has good functions such as sound insulation, heat insulation, insulation, and anti condensation and fogging, which can improve the indoor environment.
LOW-E insulated glass
LOW-E glass, also known as low radiation glass, is a film product composed of multiple layers of metal or other compounds coated on the surface of the glass. Its coating layer has the characteristics of high transmittance to visible light and high reflection to medium and far infrared rays, making it superior to ordinary glass and traditional architectural coated glass in terms of thermal insulation and good transparency.
Laminated glass
Laminated glass is a composite glass product made up of two or more pieces of glass sandwiched with one or more layers of organic polymer intermediate film. After special high-temperature pre pressing (or vacuum) and high-temperature high-pressure processing, the glass and intermediate film are permanently bonded together. The broken glass surface remains clean and smooth. Compared with other types of glass, it has the performance of shock resistance, theft prevention, bulletproof, and explosion-proof, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of fragments from puncturing and penetrating falling events, ensuring personal safety.
Under the same thickness, laminated glass has a significant effect on blocking medium and low frequency sound waves, surpassing insulating glass. Low to medium frequency noise laminated glass can provide excellent insulation. In addition, laminated glass also has extremely high UV insulation function, with an isolation rate of over 90%, making it very suitable for protecting valuable indoor furniture, exhibits, artworks, etc. from the influence of UV rays.
