The simple classification of glass is mainly divided into flat glass and deep-processed glass. There are three main types of flat glass: pulling method (with or without grooves), flat pulling method and float glass. Float glass is becoming the mainstream of glass manufacturing because of its uniform thickness, flat and parallel upper and lower surfaces, high labor productivity and easy management. There are many varieties of special glass, which are explained according to the common varieties in decoration:
First, ordinary flat glass
1, 3-4 mm glass, mm is also called mm in daily life. When we say 3mm glass, we mean glass with a thickness of 3 mm, which is mainly used for the surface of picture frames. 2, 5-6 mm glass, mainly used for small-area transparent modeling such as external windows and door leaves. 3, 7-9 mm glass, mainly used for large-area modeling such as indoor screens but protected by borders. 4, 9- 10 mm glass, can be used for indoor large-area partitions, railings and other decoration projects. 5. 1 1- 12 mm glass, which can be used for ground spring glass doors and some partitions with more people. 6. Generally, the glass over 1.5 cm is sold less in the market and often needs to be ordered, which is mainly used for the integral glass wall of the outer wall of the ground spring glass door with a large area.
Second, the glass deep processing
In order to meet various needs in production and life, people deeply process ordinary flat glass, which is mainly divided into 1 and tempered glass. It is a kind of prestressed glass reprocessed from ordinary flat glass. Compared with ordinary flat glass, tempered glass has two characteristics: 1) The former has several times the strength, three times the tensile strength and five times the impact resistance. 2) Tempered glass is not easy to break, even if it is broken, it is broken in the form of particles without acute angle, which greatly reduces the harm to human body. 2, frosted glass. It is also made of ordinary flat glass and then frosted. Generally, the thickness is below 9 cm, and the thickness of 5 or 6 cm is mostly. 3, sandblasting glass. The performance is basically the same as frosted glass, except that frosted glass is sandblasted. Because of its visual similarity, many owners and even decoration professionals confuse it. 4, embossed glass. It is a kind of flat glass made by calendering. Its biggest feature is that it is light-tight and light-tight, and it is mostly used in decoration areas such as bathrooms. 5. laminated glass. It is a kind of impact-resistant flat glass made of metal wire or metal mesh embedded in glass plate by calendering method. When hit, it will only form radial cracks and will not fall and hurt people. Therefore, it is mostly used in high-rise buildings and factories with strong vibration. 6. insulating glass. Bonding method is often used to keep a certain interval between two pieces of glass, with dry air in the interval and sealing materials around it, mainly used in decoration projects with sound insulation requirements. 7. laminated glass. Laminated glass generally consists of two ordinary flat glasses (tempered glass or other special glass) and an organic adhesive layer between the glasses. When it is damaged, the debris is still attached to the adhesive layer, which avoids the damage of debris splashing to human body. Mostly used in decoration projects with safety requirements. 8. Bulletproof glass. In fact, it is a kind of laminated glass, but the glass is made of high-strength tempered glass, and the number of laminated glass is relatively large. It is mostly used in decoration projects with very high safety requirements such as banks or luxury houses. 9, hot bending glass. High-quality flat glass is softened by heating, molded in a mold and annealed to form curved glass. Beautiful styles and smooth lines appear more and more frequently in some advanced decoration. 10, glass brick. The manufacturing process of glass brick 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 decoration engineering or light-transmitting modeling with heat preservation requirements. 1 1, cellophane. Also called glass film, there are many colors and patterns. According to the different properties of paper film, it has different properties. Most of them have the functions of heat insulation, anti-infrared, anti-ultraviolet and anti-explosion. 12, LED photoelectric glass. Photoelectric glass is a new type of environmental protection and energy-saving product, which is a combination of LED and glass. It has both the transparency of glass and the brightness of LED, and is mainly used for indoor and outdoor decoration and advertising. 13. Dimming glass: transparent when electrified; When the power is off, it is white and opaque; When opaque, it can be used as a rear projection screen.
