1. The simple classification of glass is mainly divided into flat glass and special glass. Flat glass is mainly divided into three types: top-drawing flat glass (divided into grooved/grooved), flat-drawing flat glass and float glass. Float glass is becoming the mainstream method of glass manufacturing.
2. Ordinary flat glass
3-4 centimeters of glass, mm is also called centimeters in daily life. What we call 3mm glass refers to glass with a thickness of 3mm. Glass of this size is mainly used for picture frame surfaces.
5-6mm glass, mainly used for small area light-transmitting shapes such as exterior wall merchants, door leaves, etc.
7-9mm glass is mainly used in indoor screens and other large-area shapes that are protected by frames.
9-10cm glass can be used for indoor large-area partitions, railings and other decoration projects.
11-12cm glass can be used in floor spring glass doors and some partitions with large flow of people.
Glass of 15 centimeters or above is generally less sold on the market and often requires ordering. It is mainly used for large-area floor spring glass doors and entire glass walls.
3. Other glass
tempered glass. It is a kind of prestressed glass that is reprocessed from ordinary flat glass. Compared with ordinary flat glass, tempered glass has two major characteristics:
The strength of the former is several times that of the latter, the tensile strength is more than 3 times that of the latter, and the impact resistance is more than 5 times that of the latter.
Tempered glass is not easily broken. Even if it is broken, it will break into particles without sharp angles, which greatly reduces the harm to the human body.
Frosted glass. It is also frosted on ordinary flat glass. Generally, the thickness is mostly below 9 centimeters, with the most thickness being 5 or 6 centimeters.
Sandblasted glass. The performance is basically similar to frosted glass, but the difference is that frosting is changed to sandblasting. Because the two are visually similar, many homeowners and even renovation professionals confuse them.
Patterned glass. It is a kind of flat glass made by rolling method. Its biggest feature is that it is light-transmitting and opaque, and it is often used in decoration areas such as bathrooms.
Wired glass. It is a kind of impact-resistant flat glass made by using the rolling method to embed metal wire or metal mesh in the glass plate. When it is hit, it will only form radial cracks and will not cause injury when it falls. Therefore, it is mostly used in high-rise buildings and factories with strong vibration.
Insulated glass. Gluing is often used to maintain a certain distance between two pieces of glass. The gap is filled with dry air, and the surrounding area is sealed with sealing materials. It is mainly used in decoration projects with sound insulation requirements.
Laminated glass. Laminated glass is generally composed of two pieces of ordinary flat glass (it can also be tempered glass or other special glass) and an organic adhesive layer between the glasses. When damaged, the fragments still adhere to the adhesive layer, preventing damage to the human body from splashing fragments. It is mostly used in decoration projects with safety requirements. ]
bullet-proof glass. It is actually a type of laminated glass, but the glass is mostly made of tempered glass with higher strength, and the number of interlayers is relatively large. It is mostly used in decoration projects with very high safety requirements such as banks or luxury homes.
Thermo-bent glass. Curved glass is made by heating and softening flat glass, forming it in a mold, and then annealing it. It appears more and more frequently in some high-end decorations, which requires reservation and is not available in stock.
glass brick. The manufacturing process of glass bricks is basically the same as that of flat glass, but the difference is the molding method. There is dry air in the middle. It is mostly used in decorative projects or light-transmitting shapes with thermal insulation requirements.
cellophane. Also called glass film, it comes in a variety of colors and designs. Depending on the properties of the paper film, it has different properties. Most of them function as heat insulation, anti-infrared rays, anti-ultraviolet rays, and explosion-proof.
