Glass is a commonly used material in home decoration design. In addition to having an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it can also make full use of light and space, increasing the daylight and transparency of the house. Different types of glass have different characteristics and application scenarios. The following introduces the material classification of home decoration glass.
1. Tempered glass
Tempered glass, also known as tempered glass and safety glass, is a kind of tempered glass obtained by rapid cooling after high-temperature heat treatment. Tempered glass has the advantages of high strength, impact resistance, temperature difference resistance, etc., and is widely used in doors and windows, partitions, sanitary ware, bathroom accessories and other parts in buildings. In addition, when tempered glass is broken, it will produce small particle objects, which is not easy to hurt people, so it is known as "safety glass".
Laminated glass is made by adding a PVB film between two or more pieces of glass and pressing them together by high temperature heating. Laminated glass has the characteristics of bulletproof, sound insulation, and ultraviolet protection, so it is widely used in high-end residences. In addition, laminated glass does not scatter and splash when broken, and it is difficult to hurt people.
3. Wire glass
It is a kind of impact-resistant flat glass made by calendering the wire or metal mesh embedded in the glass plate, which will only form radial cracks when impacted and will not fall and hurt people. Therefore, it is mostly used in high-rise buildings and high-quality factories.
4. Bulletproof glass
Bulletproof glass is a composite material obtained by special processing of glass (or plexiglass) and high-quality engineering plastics, which is usually a transparent material, such as PVB polycarbonate fiber thermoplastic (generally Lixian resin, that is, lexan resin, also known as lexan pc resin). It has the appearance of ordinary glass and the behavior of transmitting light, providing some protection against small ** shots. It is mostly used in renovation projects with very high safety requirements, such as banks and luxury houses.
5. Glass bricks
It is a large glass product that is pressed into a block or a hollow box with transparent or colored frit. Its varieties mainly include glass hollow bricks, glass solid bricks, and mosaics are not included. In most cases, glass bricks are not used as a finishing material, but as a structural material, as a wall, screen, partition and other similar functions.
6. Frosted glass
Also known as ground glass and dark glass, it is a translucent glass with ordinary flat glass that is treated into rough and uneven translucent glass by mechanical sandblasting, manual grinding (such as emery grinding) or chemical treatment (such as hydrofluoric acid dissolution). Generally, it is mostly used in the doors and windows of offices and bathrooms, and the glass of other rooms can also be used.
7. Embossed glass
Patterned glass, also known as patterned glass, is mainly used in indoor partitions, door and window glass, bathroom glass partitions, etc. The patterns and patterns on the glass are beautiful and exquisite, and they look like they are pressed on the surface of the glass, and the decorative effect is better. This kind of glass can block a certain line of sight, and at the same time has good light transmission. In order to avoid dust pollution, pay attention to the side with the pattern facing the inside when installing.
