High-rise sealed balcony refers to separating the balcony from the outside world with glass and other materials to form a relatively closed space. This practice can not only block the intrusion of noise and wind and rain, play the role of insulation, but also can see the outside world through the window. When the balcony is sealed, the window not only allows light and air to enter the room, it also acts as a communication between the residents and the outside.
There are a few key factors to consider when choosing floor-to-ceiling glass for high-rise sealed balconies:
1.Security.
First of all, safety is the number one factor in choosing glass.
The glass of the high-rise balcony needs to have a certain degree of impact resistance and safety to prevent sharp fragments from hurting people when the glass is broken.
Laminated glass is a good choice because it is a combination of two or several layers of glass, and will have an interlayer film, which is treated with high temperature and pressure.
The characteristic of this kind of glass is that it is not easy to break, and even if it is broken, it will stick to the interlayer and will not hurt people.
In addition, tempered glass is also a safe choice, it is made of ordinary glass, and then through high temperature and cooling, also known as safety glass.
The hardness is relatively high and it is not easy to break.
Even after it is broken, it is not easy to hurt people.
2.Thermal and acoustic insulation.
Secondly, heat and sound insulation is also an important factor in the selection of glass.
Insulating glass is a good choice, because it is composed of two or three pieces of glass, with an empty aluminum strip in the middle, and then sealed with a high-strength and high-airtight adhesive around it to form a whole piece of glass, which has a good thermal and sound insulation effect.
3.Explosion-proof performance.
Again, explosion-proof performance is also an important factor in the selection of glass.
Tempered glass is a great choice because it will become a mesh of particles after it is broken, so that it will not hurt people.
The impact resistance and strong thermal insulation performance of tempered glass are one of its very good advantages, which makes it a favorite material for sealing balconies.
4.The thickness of the glass.
The thickness of the glass is also an important factor in the choice of glass.
Generally speaking, the thickness of the glass of the high-rise balcony should be between 5mm and 10mm, and the specific thickness needs to be determined according to the area and load-bearing capacity of the balcony.
6.Brand selection.
High-rise balcony windows have higher quality requirements for floor-to-ceiling glass, do not buy miscellaneous three-no doors and windows, and try to choose well-known brands, such as Schupard, Wicona, Aluk, Moser, etc., which can provide better product quality and after-sales service.
