Today, there are many houses where architects use glass materials for ceilings, partitions, glass railings, etc. For each type, the requirements for using glass will be different. Let's go with ECO GLASS to learn about these types of glasses!
What is construction glass?
Construction glass is actually just a common name for types of glass used in construction. These are: tempered glass, hydraulic glass, bearing glass, solar control glass, low-e glass, safety laminated glass, reflective laminated glass... Currently, construction glass is gradually being improved: transparent, reflective. Light passes through but prevents harmful light. At the same time, it creates a modern look for the project¸, high durability and reasonable price.
Therefore, construction glass materials are used in projects throughout Vietnam. From residential houses to larger, larger projects such as: shopping centers, hotels, high-rise buildings, bus stations, airports,...
Reflective laminated glass
Reflective laminated glass is glass made by gluing 2 layers of glass together (1 layer of white glass, 1 layer of white PVB film, 1 layer of reflective glass)
Has properties of laminated safety glass
Light reflection
Block ultraviolet rays
Significantly reduces heat transfer
High soundproofing and thermal insulation
Diverse in types (normal, tempered, pasted...) and colors (green, blue, gray,...). Therefore, it meets all the needs of demanding customers regarding artistic requirements.
Reflective glass still has all the properties of flat regular glass, so we can laminate it into laminated or tempered glass to create a highly safe product, and at the same time bend and box together to create The product has good sound and heat insulation properties...
Laminated safety glass
2 or multi-layer laminated safety glass is a type of glass that is joined together by PVB (Polyvinybutyral) film and distilled at high temperatures to create bonding and transparency of the glass.
When there is a strong impact, the PVB film layer has the effect of holding broken glass pieces from falling out, limiting the main risk of injury to the user.
Tempered glass
This type of glass is produced by the method of increasing the temperature to a temperature range of 680 - 700 degrees Celsius. Then it is quickly cooled by cooling.
Strength resistance: capable of forming aesthetically pleasing curves Serves many design purposes.
Durability: tempered glass is 4-5 times more durable than regular float glass of the same type and thickness.
Heat resistance: capable of withstanding rapid changes in temperature 3 times higher than regular glass.
Safety: If normal glass breaks into large, sharp pieces, tempered glass breaks into small, separate round pieces with edges that are not sharp or pointed, so they are not capable of harming people or causing harm. broken furniture.
Light penetration: Glass has good light absorption ability, in addition, it also has soundproof and heat-insulating wings, reducing heat radiation from sunlight, reducing heat loss by about 50%.
Solar control glasses
Specially composed of 1 sheet of regular glass and 1 sheet of glass coated with ultra-thin Metallic technology, in the middle is a layer of PVB film that can bond 2 glass panels together to solve safety issues without required construction works.
The ultra-thin Metallic technology-coated glass panels, in addition to the ability to control solar energy to keep the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer, also have the ability to eliminate up to 80% of UV rays or harmful ultraviolet rays. harmful to human health.
Besides, it helps save up to 52% of electricity costs for air conditioning systems to improve human health and life. Solar Control glass is considered safe, limited in toxicity, and environmentally friendly.
The above is some general information about types of construction glass. ECO GLASS hopes they are useful to you.
