The use of glass as utensils has been recorded in ancient Egypt

After a long time of development

The application of glass is everywhere

The application of architectural glass also starts from the common form

Constantly "transform" and upgrade

Have more "magic" functions!

For example, one-way perspective glass, float glass and luminous glass

Power generation glass, low radiation glass, etc

Let's make an inventory today!


Types and characteristics of "magic glass"


Why is it called "magic glass"?

Because they have overturned our previous understanding of glass

It's like being enchanted. It's amazing

Let's take a look at these magic glasses,     Glass product!


1. One-way perspective glass
 

 
Unidirectional perspective glass, also known as one-way mirror and one-way glass, is a kind of glass with high reflectance to visible light. The reflecting surface (mirror surface) must be the light-facing surface or the side facing the outside.
 
 
When the outdoor is brighter than the indoor, the one-way perspective glass is similar to the ordinary mirror. The indoor scenery can not be seen outside, but the outdoor scenery can be seen clearly inside. When the outdoor is darker than the indoor, the indoor scenery can be seen outdoors, and the outdoor scenery can also be seen indoors. Its clarity depends on the intensity of the outdoor illumination.
 
 
characteristic:
 
 
• Clear imaging: the one-way perspective glass has a high reflectivity, and the imaging is very clear compared with the ordinary mirror at home;

 
 
• Eliminate ultraviolet rays: the common glass on the market is basically not resistant to ultraviolet rays. One-way perspective glass can insulate more than 90% of ultraviolet rays and reduce the fading of furniture caused by ultraviolet interference;
 
 
• Safety and explosion protection: one-way perspective glass is generally made of toughened glass, so it has a high safety factor and can play an explosion-proof effect, even if it is broken, it will not splash and hurt people.
 
 
 
2. Sight glass
 
 
Shipiao glass is a new high-tech product and a major breakthrough in the static and motionless aspects of decorative glass. As the name implies, it is without any external force, its own pattern color changes with the change of the observer's perspective, that is, changes in the glass pattern and color with the movement of the human's vision, forming a unique visual floating effect, adding a mysterious dynamic feeling to the living room.
 

 
characteristic:
 
 
 
• Strong temperature resistance and wind erosion resistance: because it is sintered with pigment and glass substrate at a high temperature of 500 ℃ - 680 ℃, it has strong resistance to high temperature, cold and wind erosion, and will never change color;

 
 
• Low price: the price of glass is relatively low.
 
 
 
3. Luminescent glass
 
 
 
Luminous glass is a kind of lighting or decorative material that can be seen everywhere in our daily life. There are many kinds of luminous glass according to its different luminous methods and light sources. The common ones are as follows:
 
 
 
A. LED luminous glass
 
 
▲ LED luminous glass wall
 
 
 
LED light-emitting glass is a kind of LED flat light-emitting glass product that uses a special gluing process to encapsulate a single LED point light source in the form of an array between two pieces of tempered glass to form a safe sandwich structure;
 
 
 
The LED light-emitting glass structure is a sandwich structure. An array of LED point light sources is inlaid between the substrate glass and the upper cover glass. The point light source is energized through the conductive circuit on the substrate glass. The array spacing can be large or small according to different application objectives.
 

 
A programmable controller or computer program controls the LED point light source in the array to be on or off, and forms a combination. A layer of transparent EVA film (or PVB film) can be added or not added between the substrate glass and the upper cover glass to realize multiple combination display or lighting modes.
 
 
characteristic:
 
 
• Safety: due to the use of laminated glass manufacturing process, the film in the glass will firmly bond the glass together, which can make the glass stick to the film in the middle when it is broken by strong impact, without the glass fragments splashing and hurting people;
 
 
• Environmental protection: The dimming film and film in the middle of the glass can shield more than 90% of infrared and ultraviolet rays. Shielding the infrared ray can reduce the heat radiation transmission; Shielding ultraviolet radiation can protect indoor furnishings from fading and aging due to ultraviolet radiation, and can also protect the human body from the direct radiation of ultraviolet radiation and lead to disease;
 
 
• Good sound insulation: the dimming film and film in the middle of the glass have sound barrier function, and this kind of glass can effectively block the external noise;
 
 
• Low energy consumption: glass lighting relies on high-brightness LED light source, which is energy-saving and does not generate heat;
 
 
• Designable: it can be combined with silk, silk and other laminated materials, with rich styles and strong design, and can bring diversified scientific and technological elements to the space;
 
 
• Beautiful: transparent conductive film marking technology, hidden wires, more beautiful;
 

 
• Transparent: LED luminous glass maintains the original high transmittance characteristics of the glass and has good visual effect.
 
 
B. Laser internally carved glass
  
 
Laser inner glass carving is to shoot two laser beams into transparent objects (such as glass, crystal, etc.) from different angles through the interference of light, and accurately converge at a point. Due to the interference and cancellation of two laser beams at the intersection point, their energy is converted from light energy to internal energy, and a large amount of heat is released, melting the point to form tiny holes, and then these holes form the required patterns.
 
 
Laser inner carving glass is to process a complete piece of glass through laser to carve three-dimensional images inside the glass, such as flowers, birds, fish, people, beautiful scenery of nature and other kinds of animals and plants. The pattern is completely inside the glass. With the help of colored lights, the laser-carved glass can display gorgeous effects.
 
 
characteristic:
 
 
• Energy saving: The laser used is generally 2 to 5 watts, that is, the laser consumes 2-5 kilowatt-hours of power when it works for 1000 hours, even if the transmission parts are added, it only consumes one kilowatt-hour of power;
 
 
• Environmental protection: laser engraving is made inside the glass with a laser beam, free of dust, volatile substances, emissions and consumables, and does not cause any pollution to the external environment;
 
 
• High degree of automation: after the processing object is placed in place, the whole production process is controlled by the computer, and the degree of automation is high. Compared with the traditional sand blasting and carving process, the labor intensity of workers is significantly reduced;
 
 
• Multi-functional: combined with LED lighting, the product image is actively luminous, beautiful, and has the dual functions of advertising decoration and lighting.

 
 
C. Dimming glass
 

 
Intelligent dimming glass is a new type of special photoelectric glass product, which combines TFT liquid crystal film into the middle of two layers of glass and is integrally formed by high-temperature and high-pressure bonding.
 
 
At the center of the intelligent dimming glass is a layer of liquid crystal film (commonly known as dimming film), which is covered by PVB (polyvinyl butyraldehyde ester, with excellent flexibility and flexibility) film. Then the liquid crystal film is sandwiched between the two layers of glass, and then placed in an autoclave or a general one-step furnace to be glued through the process of high temperature and high pressure. The user controls the transparent and opaque state of the glass by controlling whether the current is on or off.
 
 
 
characteristic:
 

 
• Privacy protection: power-on becomes transparent, power-off becomes atomized (transparent and opaque), and the state can be switched freely;
 
 
 
• Safety: The double-layer toughened glass laminating process can prevent the glass from splashing after breaking, and has the excellent quality of safety glass and high strength;
 
 
• Environmental protection: high light transmittance, the dimming film and film in the middle can insulate and block most of the ultraviolet and infrared rays in the sun;
 

• Sound insulation: dimming film of dimming glass and film have certain sound barrier effect;
 
 
• Convenient operation: it can be controlled by switch, remote control, Bluetooth, APP and other methods;
 
 
• Projection touch: It can be used as a projection screen in an opaque state. It can be used with touch devices to realize finger touch operation.
 

4. Power generation glass
 
▲ Power generation glass
 
 
Power generation glass is actually a glass curtain wall or glass daylighting roof for buildings, but its glass products have been replaced with photovoltaic modules, which are both power generation devices and part of the building's peripheral structure.
 
 
characteristic:
 
 
• Meet the requirements of architectural aesthetics: junction box, bypass diode, connecting wire, etc. can be hidden in the curtain wall structure through relevant design, which can prevent direct sunlight and rain erosion, and will not affect the appearance of the building, so as to achieve a perfect combination with the building;
 

 
• To meet the lighting requirements of buildings: double-sided glass components made of smooth ultra-white tempered glass can achieve specific light transmittance through adjustment, even in the sightseeing area of the building can meet the requirements of light transmittance. It should be noted that the greater the transmittance of the PV module, the thinner the arrangement of the cells, and the smaller the power generation;
 
 
• High safety: the thickness of tempered glass used for power generation glass meets the national and curtain wall industry specifications, while the PVB film in the middle of the module has good adhesion, toughness and elasticity, which can prevent the penetration of impact objects. Even if the glass is broken, the fragments will firmly adhere to the PVB film, and will not fall off and hurt people;
 
 
• Long service life: The PVB film used for power generation glass has the characteristics of transparency, heat resistance, cold resistance, moisture resistance, high mechanical strength, etc., and has been applied to the production of laminated glass for building, without yellowing, and can achieve the same service life as the building;

 
• Green and environmental protection: use natural solar energy to generate electricity, save energy, and electricity will not cause pollution.
 
 
5. Low radiation glass
 
 
▲ Low radiation glass
 
 
Low-E glass is the abbreviation of Low Emission in English. This is a kind of film product composed of multi-layer metal or other compounds coated on the glass surface. The coating layer has the characteristics of high transmission of visible light and high reflection of medium and far infrared.
 
 
In short, this kind of glass can transmit light, but when the heat energy (infrared) from the sun or HVAC strikes the low-radiation glass, it will be reflected back to the original space, rather than transmitted through the glass.
 
 
characteristic:

 
• Excellent thermal performance: the heat passing through the glass is bidirectional, that is, the heat can be transferred from the indoor to the outdoor, and vice versa, and it is carried out at the same time, just the problem of poor heat transfer. Low-E glass can meet the requirements of winter and summer. It can not only keep heat but also insulate heat, playing the role of environmental protection and low carbon;
 
 
• Good optical performance: The visible light transmittance of Low-E glass varies from 0% to 95%. The visible light transmittance represents the indoor daylighting, and can be controlled to meet the indoor daylighting requirements under different conditions.
