Glass is a common building and decoration material. It has many functions such as light transmission, heat insulation, sound insulation and decoration. In the field of architecture, glass is used in Windows, doors, screens, partition panels and other areas. But you know what? Different types of glass also have different properties. According to its own use function, it can play a role in different fields.
Clear glass
Clear glass is a very common and basic type of glass. It has good light transmittance and permeability. It allows light to come in through the Windows. At the same time, clear glass is also the cheapest type of glass. In terms of price and cost, it is more suitable for low-budget decoration.
However, cleaning glass also has disadvantages. First of all, its price is placed there, so its own hardness is lower. It is not tempered, so it is easy to break. Once broken, clear glass forms large, sharp shards. This time is also easy to cause harm to the human body. The second is that the sound insulation effect of clear glass is almost zero. Therefore, in a noisy environment, it is basically impossible to use clear glass to get quiet. Finally, there is no privacy protection function of clear glass. If used in an area where privacy is required, it may just be disturbing.
Reinforced glass
The reinforced glass is treated by a special process. The strength and properties of the glass are improved. Reinforced glass is the ordinary glass that has been formed by heating to a softening temperature and then cooling rapidly. Compressive stress is formed on the glass surface and tensile stress is formed inside. This form of stress increases the hardness of the reinforced glass.
So reinforced glass also has many advantages:
High strength: The strength of reinforced glass is 3-5 times higher than that of ordinary glass. Can withstand greater impact and bending forces. Not easily broken.
Good temperature resistance: the temperature resistance of reinforced glass is 3 times stronger than that of ordinary glass. Can withstand 200-300℃ temperature difference. It is not easy to burst due to temperature changes.
Good safety: the reinforced glass will not form sharp fragments after breaking. It's a little bit grainy. They stick to each other and will not cause harm to the human body.
Embossed glass
Embossed glass is a type of glass with various patterns pressed out on the surface of the glass. The embossing process is to press the plate glass that is not completely cooled between two rollers with a pattern, so that the pattern is printed on the glass.
Embossed glass has the following advantages:
Strong decorative: embossed glass has a variety of patterns. Such as the common rainbow, birchapple flowers and other patterns. You can choose according to different styles you like.
Opaque: The surface of embossed glass is uneven. Light is refracted and scattered as it passes through. Allow the room to get plenty of light. But it will not let the outside world see the indoor situation, which is a good protection of privacy.
The sound insulation effect is good: the surface of the embossed glass has a pattern, which is also the reason why it can effectively block the propagation of sound waves. With the reduction of environmental disturbance, indoor comfort will also increase.
Lacquered glass
Lacquered glass is baked at high temperature after ceramic pigments are coated on the surface of the glass. Painting is the process of printing ceramic pigments on glass. The glass is then heated in a strengthening furnace. The pigment binds tightly to the surface of the glass.
Lacquered glass also has the following advantages:
Rich colors: lacquered glass can be selected in different colors and patterns according to different needs and preferences. Glass patterns can be customized to suit a variety of styles.
Smooth surface: The paint glass is completely fused with the pigment and the glass surface to form a uniform and smooth coating. There will be no bubbles, cracks, fading and other conditions. It's also easy to clean.
High strength: lacquered glass also has the advantages of reinforced glass. Because the lacquered glass is also fortified. Such as high strength, high safety and other advantages it has.
