Now the use of large glass doors and Windows is becoming more and more common. It is transparent, bright and unobstructed, which can integrate the interior and the scenery outside the window well.
However, when purchasing large glass, pay special attention to whether its safety is guaranteed.
01 Large glass, thickness to be thicker
Glass is like opening a sheet of dough, the larger its area, the greater the amplitude of a slight shake back and forth, and the easier it is to break. As long as the thickness of the glass increases, its stability and firmness (stiffness and deflection) increase, its shaking amplitude and the risk of breakage can be reduced.
02 big glass thickness how to choose
In the building glass code, there are relevant requirements for the maximum allowable area of safety glass of different thicknesses:
• Requirements do not exceed 2 m² of tempered glass, use 5 mm, do not exceed 3 m² of tempered glass, use 6 mm...
• Laminated glass with an area of not more than 3 ㎡, laminated glass thickness of 6 mm can be selected, laminated glass with a thickness of not more than 5 ㎡, 8 mm...
Consumers who are new to the purchase of doors and Windows, or concepts that are not easy to understand, can look at the following:
• What is safety glass: refers to high strength, not easy to break, broken and not easy to hurt the glass products, the specific products are tempered glass, laminated glass (laminated glass) and other products made of them (homogeneous tempered, hollow laminated glass, fireproof glass, etc.), such as home decoration commonly used tempered insulating glass (doors and Windows), tempered laminated glass (railings) belong to this category.
• Laminated glass why there are decimal points: laminated glass PVB sandwich thickness is 0.38mm, and the sandwich can be stacked layer by layer (large glass area and special requirements such as sound insulation can increase the thickness of the sandwich).
• Thickness refers to the thickness of the whole glass or a single piece: it can be understood that insulating glass refers to the thickness of each piece, such as a piece of insulating glass of 3 m², the glass thickness of 6 + 6 is applied. Laminated glass is a whole block, such as a 7 m² laminated glass, generally with a glass thickness of 5mm + 5mm.
