Glass types and uses

Glass is a kind of decoration material in the construction project, with the characteristics of light transmission, perspective, isolation of air circulation, sound insulation, heat insulation and heat insulation. There are many types of glass used in construction projects, including flat glass, frosted glass, polished glass, tempered glass, among which flat glass is the most widely used.

Flat glass, also known as white glass and net glass. The surface is smooth and highly transparent. It is mainly assembled on doors and windows.

Frosted glass, also known as frosted glass. Flat glass is hand-polished or mechanically sandblasted so that the glass surface is uniformly rough. This type of glass is transparent and opaque, and it does not spread light, and it can be used as a protective force. It is often used in toilets, bathrooms and factory test rooms.

Wire glass is made of a steel wire mesh in the glass. Webs are hexagonal, diamond or square. It has strong impact resistance and ability to adapt to extreme temperature changes. When broken, no debris will be dropped and hurt. Therefore, it is also called safety glass. Wire-bonded glass is commonly used in warehouses, warehouses, and other roofs and skylights.

Tempered glass is produced by heating flat glass to a temperature near the softening point (about 610-650°C) and then rapidly cooling it in air. Since the glass surface layer has a high uniform pre-compression stress, the strength and impact resistance of the glass are greatly improved, and the glass can withstand quenching and heating. After the glass is broken, the pieces are small without sharp corners and will not hurt people. It is a kind of safety glass. Tempered glass is often used in places with vibration, such as casting, forging, pressing, rolling, and heat treatment.

The polished glass is a flat glass that is ground and polished so that it can see through the object without deformation. Generally used for doors and windows in high-rise buildings.

Stained glass is a colored transparent glass made by adding a small amount of metal oxide to glass raw materials. It is generally used for doors and windows that have special requirements for lighting.
