Exploring the Benefits and Applications of Tempered Glass in Modern Architecture

In the past, tempered glass is not required for high-rise glass, as long as it is safe glass, but now it is required that more than 7 layers of glass must be safe glass, tempered glass belongs to safety glass, the main purpose is also for safety.

Tempered glass and semi-tempered glass (also known as Heat strengthened glass) need to be heat treated, but the strength and use are different.

Tempered glass:
·Cooling process: fast, with high surface stress (10,000 psi)
·Strength: Four to five times the strength of ordinary float glass
·Safety: Safety glass. Break into small, blunt pieces
·Use: door, shower room, window, furniture
Semi-tempered glass (also known as Heat strengthened glass) :
·Cooling process: Slower, with lower surface stress (3,500-7,500 psi)
·Strength: Twice the strength of ordinary float glass
·Safety: non-safety glass. When broken, large fragments and radioactive cracks are formed
·Use: Applications requiring high imaging and requiring certain characteristics of tempered glass

Of course, tempered glass has many benefits, such as 1, pressure and wear resistance, 2, beautiful appearance; 3, cold and heat resistance; 4, good security; 5, cost-effective.
1, pressure and wear resistance. Tempered glass because of the surface and compressive layer, it is like a thick layer of strong film, so it is not afraid of external pressure and friction.
2. Beautiful appearance. Toughened glass can be printed on a variety of patterns, and the color is beautiful, not afraid of scratching, durable color, plasticity is also very strong. So it is very popular with consumers.
3, cold and heat resistance. The strong compressive film on the tempered glass is especially resistant to high temperature and is not afraid of low temperature, so it is also used in the kitchen panel.
4, good security. Tempered glass is not breakable and will not collapse immediately after cracking. Therefore, the use of children in the home is very suitable.
5, cost-effective. Tempered glass process is not complex, raw materials are not expensive, so the cost is very high, real civilian products.
