Characteristics of U-shaped glass

2022-09-28 09:44

1.U-shaped glass light weight, reduce the self-weight of the building; appearance“Light” can increase the use of the building area.   

The weight of the red brick wall is 350 kg per square metre, while the double-layer installed trough glass wall weighs 40 kg per square metre. It is obvious that the trough glass not only reduces the self-weight of the building structure, but also saves the painting of the inside and outside walls, the cost of the project has been greatly reduced.

2.sound insulation, heat insulation, improve the environment and save energy

Double-layer installed groove glass wall, because there is air between the two layers, it has a sound, heat insulation function. It is introduced that the sound insulation of double-layer Groove Glass is 38 decibels and the heat transfer coefficient is 1.74 W/m2. K, and the heat transfer coefficient of single-layer 6 mm glass is 3.65 w/m2. K. Trough glass is an ideal wall material in reducing building energy consumption.

3.Ideal safety, corrosion resistance, transparent wall materials

U-shaped glass has high mechanical strength, the use of steel-lined channel glass for high-rise building walls can play a good role in safety protection; The Groove Glass is stable in acid, alkali and high humidity. Therefore, U-shaped glass can be used in anti-corrosion requirements of the building; groove-shaped glass is easy to assemble. As wall or roof material, can be vertical, slope, single or double row installation, can be a large area of glass curtain wall in large buildings, can greatly increase the daylighting area, it has many functions such as decoration and structure, and is a kind of multi-purpose building component.

4.Easy to construct, economical and practical 

In foreign countries, the installation of double-row vertical trough glass curtain wall, such as high 3M, long 10m, total area of 30m2 trough glass curtain wall, a person can be completed in just one hour.

Trough glass is a medium-grade wall materials, but also can replace the general do not need transparent daylighting window, skylight, can save a lot of wood, steel and aluminum, cost can save one-third.
