Tempered glass (Tempered Glass or T/P), also known as annealed glass.
Benefit : advantages
- 4-5 times stronger than float glass, making it able to withstand impact, pressure and compression well.
- Heat resistant up to 290ºC without breaking glass
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- Tempered glass can't cut, chia, notch, drill.
- Due to tempered safety glass It is a glass that has undergone a high heat treatment process until it softens and rolls with rollers.
2. What is Laminated Glass?
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that when broken, the glass fragments will remain attached to each other without falling off.
Benefit : advantages
- When the glass is damaged until it breaks Broken glass will not fall down. Which reduces the danger more
- Helps prevent outside noise and better soundproof than normal glass
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- PVC film has hygroscopic properties. Therefore, if using this glass in areas with high humidity Will make the adhesion between the glass and the film is not good. And may be separated from each other
3. Heat-strengthened laminated glass (Heat-Strengthened Laminate Glass) What is heat-strengthened glass produced by the same process as tempered safety glass.
Benefit : advantages
- It is 2 times stronger than float glass, making it able to withstand impact, pressure, and compression well.
- Withstands the pressure of high air currents well especially high-rise building walls, glass floors or glass roofs
- Can withstand normal heat up to 290ºC without breaking the glass
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- Because it is a glass that has undergone a high heat process until the glass is soft. Mirrors can be waves and has a chance to deflect slightly
4. What is Acoustic Glass?
Soundproof glass is a glass that has soundproofing properties that can effectively block more noise as well.
Material Type : soundproof glass type
There are 4 types as follows:
1. Single Glazing
2. Laminated Glass
3. Double Glazing
4. Double Glazing Mix & Match
Benefit : advantages
- have strength Resistant to intrusion or theft, has a long service life.
- Can be cleaned easily
- Reduces UV rays and effectively block out external noise
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- quite heavy because it is thicker than normal glass
- size of the frame It is wider than normal glass.
5. What is Insulated Glass?
Heat insulating glass is glass modified by various processes to meet the purpose of use in heat protection and energy saving as the main feature to prevent or reduce heat from outside.
Benefit : advantages
- Prevent heat transfer from outside into the building and can reflect heat up to 95%-98%
- Helps reduce energy consumption from air conditioners and help maintain a constant indoor temperature
- Allows a lot of light to pass through the building, but very little heat will pass through the glass.
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- quite heavy because it is thicker than normal glass
- size of the frame It is wider than normal glass.
- need to allow more distance for installation than general glass
6. What is Float Glass?
Glass with high transparency, smooth surface, strong strength. Reflection is good, there are fewer air bubbles and better arrangement of molecules within the glass.
Material Type : Float glass type
- Clear Float Glass
- Tinted Float Glass
Benefit : advantages
- Transparent for high light transmittance
- Can be used to coat metal as a reflective glass and energy-saving glass as well
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- Easy to break, a risk of safety Due to the nature of the break in the shark's mouth, it is sharp.
- Not resistant to high temperatures
- There is a weight limit. And unable to withstand high wind pressure
7. What are internal blinds?
Internal Blinds is a combination of dry air insulated glass and light-adjusting curtains into one piece.
Benefit : advantages
- Does not accumulate dust and dirt
- is durable
- Easier to clean than general blinds
Disadvantages : Disadvantages
- with thickness and weighs more than ordinary glass
