The secret of high-performance door and window glass!

The secret of high-performance door and window glass!

Oct 18, 2022

As one of the important components of doors and windows, glass has the characteristics of sound insulation, heat insulation, energy saving, light transmission, and beautiful appearance. It is also one of the most important factors affecting the energy efficiency of doors and windows. So when choosing glass for high-performance doors and windows, which type of glass is generally used? What is their function? Today I am going to explore with you!
 

INSULATING GLASS Insulating Glass


Insulating glass is composed of two or three layers of glass to change the propagation medium of sound waves, so that the energy of sound waves is consumed, thereby reducing sound.,Effectively block the outside of the outside world into the room to achieve the purpose of sound insulation and noise reduction.

In addition, insulating glass can effectively block the spread of heat and has strong thermal insulation properties.
 

TEMPERED GLASS Tempered Glass


Tempered glass is a kind of prestressed glass. In order to improve the strength of the glass, chemical or physical methods are usually used to form compressive stress on the surface of the glass. When the glass is subjected to external force, the surface stress is first offset, thereby improving the bearing capacity and improving the tensile strength of the glass.

The strength of tempered glass is several times higher than that of ordinary glass, the bending strength is 3~5 times that of ordinary glass, and the impact strength is 5~10 times that of ordinary glass.At the same time, when it is destroyed, it also has small obtuse-angle broken particles similar to honeycomb. Compared with ordinary glass fragments, the strength is improved and the safety is also improved.

LAMINATED GLASSPVB Laminated Glass


PVB laminated glass refers to adding a layer of PVB film between two layers of glass,Like insulating glass, it also consumes the energy of sound waves by changing the propagation medium of sound waves, thereby reducing sound.

In addition, PVB laminated glass has good sound insulation performance,It also has the characteristics of high strength and good explosion-proof performance.,Today, with more and more attention paid to product safety, it is widely used in high-performance doors and windows, and is also favored by high-end residential and villa users.
 

LOW-E GLASSLOW-E Glass


LOW-E glass is one of the common configurations of high-end doors and windows. The LOW-E coating reflects most of the energy-carrying long-wave infrared rays, thus directly reflecting heat like a mirror reflects light.

LOW-E glass can reduce the solar radiation entering the room, and can also block the loss of indoor heat in winter and the loss of indoor air conditioning in summer。Therefore, for heating and cooling in winter and summer, it has good thermal insulation and energy saving effects.

VACUUM GLASS Vacuum Glass


Vacuum glass is to seal up two pieces of flat glass around, vacuumize the gap and seal the exhaust hole, which is vacuum glass. Because the vacuum glass is in a vacuum state, it has good thermal insulation and sound insulation effects.
 
thermal break aluminum windows

The thermal conductivity of vacuum glass can be as low as 0.3W/(㎡·K), which is similar to the wall. Passive windows and vacuum glass with suitable heat transfer coefficient can achieve the effect of "five stable" comfortable spaces in the room.,Therefore, vacuum glass is widely used in passive windows and ultra-low energy buildings.
 
thermal break aluminum windows


As the largest part of doors and windows, the performance of glass is directly related to whether doors and windows can achieve energy saving.
All the doors and windows of Chimgreen CROWN are equipped with self-deep-processed tempered insulating glass as standard, which can strictly control the performance of door and window glass. Special building doors and windows can also choose vacuum glass, laminated glass, LOW-E glass, bulletproof glass, etc. Each configuration is only to optimize the performance of the entire window.
