Glass knowledge: 6 common types of glass in home decoration



Home decoration always involves dealing with glass. Although the amount of glass used is not large, it is highly related to comfort, aesthetics, and safety, so we have to put more effort into this aspect.



When decorating ordinary homes, the following six types of glass are commonly used. Instead of waiting until the time of use to make things difficult, let's take the time to understand their purpose and characteristics，Glass product   .

Tempered glass
 
 
 
Ordinary glass has poor resistance and is prone to breakage after being hit hard. And there are glass debris after crushing, which can puncture people. So for some places with high safety requirements, tempered glass - tempered, is a reinforcement method used during the glass production process.
 
 
 
The amount of tempered glass used in households is not large, and if you plan to use glass for railings in duplex residential buildings, you need to use tempered glass. The shower room in the bathroom also needs to use tempered glass.
 
 
 
Tempered glass is not just a matter of words, its surface must have a clear "3C" mark. This type of safety glass has undergone strict testing before leaving the factory.
 
 
 
plate glass
 
 
 
Glass that has not been tempered can be referred to as "flat glass". The several types of glass that I will mention in the following text all belong to flat glass.
 
 
 
In terms of addressing habits, when glass has other characteristics, we usually call it its unique characteristic name. For example, below we will mention "Changhong Glass". Although it also belongs to flat glass, the definition of Changhong Glass is more clear, so we will call it the name after it.
 
 
 
Flat glass without any characteristics is directly called "flat glass". The flat glass in families is mainly the glass cabinet doors used on wardrobes and bookcases ▼
 
 
 
Multilayer glass
 
 
 
The windows and doors are usually made of multi-layer glass. Namely, placing several layers of glass on the doors and windows at the same time to enhance their insulation and sound insulation capabilities - many people are curious, saying why the glass on the cabinet door breaks when touched, and the glass on the doors and windows doesn't break even when pushed hard? It's actually quite simple, just because the glass on the doors and windows is thicker.
 
 
 
The common type of household glass is double-layer glass, followed by three-layer glass. No matter how many layers there are, they are rarely seen in households. We also do some processing between glass and glass. There are two common processing methods: vacuum is applied in the middle of the glass, which is called "insulating glass"; The one filled with glue in the middle is called "laminated glass" - the latter has stronger insulation and sound insulation capabilities.
 
 
 
Changhong Glass
 
 
 
This is a type of decorative glass that is very popular now - creating striped shapes on the surface of the glass
 
 
 
Commonly used on indoor doors and partitions. Some people feel that they have developed a phobia after watching it, while others feel that this small and fresh style is their favorite - the definition of beauty has always been a matter of opinion.
 
 
 
Frosted glass
 
 
 
It is also a type of shaped glass, but sometimes the "frosted" shape has its own practical use - it can be used to block the view. In particular, Frosted glass often appears in bathroom doors, indoor windows and other places.
 
 
 
There are two kinds of Frosted glass, one is sandwich frosted glass. The surface feels like ordinary glass, but it is not transparent. In fact, a frosted interlayer is embedded inside the glass, making it appear frosted and non frosted to the touch.
 
 
 
Another type is surface sanding, which is often used for various shapes. The surface shape is uneven and highly three-dimensional.
 
 
 
Ultra white glass
 
 
 
Glass that is now as hot as Changhong Glass - ordinary glass always turns yellow or green due to process issues, which is not transparent enough. Ultra white glass solves this problem by making thick glass appear as transparent as a red wine glass.
