The right choice of "glass" for decoration can instantly enhance the temperament of the home!



I have written a lot about dry goods sharing, but rarely about glass. In fact, one of the most common materials in home decoration is glass, commonly found in doors and windows, partitions, and decorations. Glass has many functions, including lighting, expanding space, reducing the closeness of small spaces, and reflecting the unique temperament of the host.



Glass is made from a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials, with a small amount of auxiliary raw materials added. Its main components are silicon dioxide and other oxides, Glass product   .


Today, Little Ape will introduce to you the types of home decoration glass?



01



ABOUT plate glass



The most basic member of glass is plate glass, which refers to flat glass that has not undergone other processing. According to different production methods, it can be divided into ordinary plate glass and float glass. It is the original sheet that is further processed into other types of glass.



It is mainly used in household structures, doors and windows, and other parts to provide light transmission, wind protection, and thermal insulation.

ABOUT frosted glass



Ground glass, also known as ground glass, is a flat glass with a uniform and rough surface after grinding and sandblasting.



Due to the rough surface, the transmitted light diffuses and only transmits light without perspective. It is generally used in bathroom, bathroom, office, and other rooms that require privacy and non interference in home decoration, and can also be used for partition.

ABOUT tempered glass



Tempered glass, also known as safety glass. Its characteristic is high strength, and its bending strength and impact strength are 4-5 times higher than ordinary plate glass. When encountering damage, the fragments are dispersed in fine particles, without sharp edges and corners.



Tempered glass is mainly used in glass curtain walls, frameless glass doors, curved glass furniture, and other aspects.

ABOUT laminated glass



Laminated glass, which is a composite material, is characterized by good safety and superior impact strength to ordinary flat glass. There are also many types of sandwiches, such as PVB (EVA, SGP) sandwiches, acoustic film sandwiches, transparent sandwiches, frosted sandwiches, silk (painting, cloth, linen, dried flowers) sandwiches, black and white gray and color film sandwiches.



It is mainly used for doors and windows, curtain walls, roof skylights, and balcony windows bordering the outdoor environment, providing sound insulation and thermal insulation.

ABOUT color changing glass



Color-changing glass is made by adding photochromic materials to glass raw materials. It refers to glass that changes color under certain conditions such as light, temperature, electric field or current, and surface pressure, and can reversibly and automatically restore to its original state after the applied conditions disappear. It is also known as dimming glass.



It is mostly used for indoor facade decoration and building curtain walls, etc.



Under the irradiation of ultraviolet or visible light, light absorption in the visible light region can be generated, which can reduce the transmittance of the glass or cause color changes, and can automatically restore to the original transparent state after the light stops. This is called photochromic glass.



The decorative characteristic of photochromic glass is that the color and transmittance of the glass automatically change with sunlight intensity.

▲ Dusk



▲ Night



Electrochromic glass refers to the phenomenon of stable and reversible color changes in the optical properties (reflectivity, transmittance, absorption, etc.) of a material under the action of an applied electric field, which is manifested in the appearance as reversible changes in color and transparency.

ABOUT dimming glass



Dimming glass is a new type of special photoelectric glass product that combines a liquid crystal film into the middle of two layers of glass and is integrally molded with a sandwich structure after high-temperature and high-pressure bonding. The transparent and opaque state of the glass is controlled by controlling whether the current is turned on or off.



Due to the characteristics of liquid crystal film interlayer, dimming glass can also be used as a projection screen, replacing ordinary screens, to present high-definition images on the glass.

ABOUT glass stone



Glass stone is a kind of irregular granular glass processed with flat glass as the base material. It has rich colors, including light blue, dark blue, red, amber, and so on.
