Maintenance Techniques for Tempered Glass Furniture



Tempered glass has become one of the commonly used materials in modern furniture. Relatively speaking, tempered glass has the advantages of wear resistance, easy cleaning, and the smooth and delicate surface of the glass, making it highly popular among the public. However, if it is not properly maintained during use, tempered glass furniture cannot maintain its original brightness. For a more beautiful home, many people use tempered glass materials in restaurants, living rooms, bathrooms, and other places. Tempered glass has good hardness and is easy to clean, but many people do not pay much attention to its maintenance, so its service life is often very short, Glass product  .

Because tempered glass is usually embedded on other materials, exposure to sunlight and rain can easily cause the material to expand, deform, and damage the tempered glass, which often occurs on dining tables. The ashtray, teacup, water heater, ice and cold water used at ordinary times should not directly contact with the tempered glass, and the mat should be placed first. Because direct contact is easy to cause local thermal expansion of tempered glass, and local deformation will occur after a long time. Although tempered glass is hard, it is still glass, so do not use force to collide with the glass surface and handle it gently. To avoid scratching the glass with sharp tools, please lay a layer of tablecloth as much as possible.

Tempered glass is often used as a bathroom door in the home. When opening the bathroom door, it is not advisable to use too much force. Pulleys and sliders can cause many problems after being used for a long time. It is important to regularly check the adjustment screws of the sliders. If the door is difficult to open, please add lubricating oil or wax. Stains are inevitable on tempered glass. Generally, households use a towel to wipe it, but the towel will shed hair and stick to the glass, making it unsightly. Here is a good cleaning method: first sprinkle some water on the glass surface, then take out a piece of tin foil from the cigarette box to wipe it off, and finally use water to scrub it to remove the tea stains. Don't worry, wipe off the yellow marks with a damp cloth and wait for it to dry before applying a layer of wax.

In daily life, it is common to see many carved patterns on tempered glass, which can easily hide dirt and make the patterns look unsightly. This is not difficult to handle. Dip a toothbrush in a bit of toothpaste (note that fluoride toothpaste is not acceptable as fluoride corrodes glass) and repeatedly brush, then rinse with clean water. In rooms with smaller living areas, tempered glass furniture is the most suitable choice because the permeability of glass can reduce the pressure on space. In the past, people always believed that tempered glass furniture made people feel insecure.

Nowadays, glass materials, especially for home decoration, have not only achieved breakthroughs in thickness and transparency, making furniture made of glass both reliable and practical, but also injecting artistic effects into the production, making glass furniture not only practical but also decorative and beautifying the living room. When heating flat glass close to the softening point, it rapidly cools on the glass surface, causing compressive stress to be distributed on the glass surface, while tensile stress is located in the central layer. Due to the strong and equal compressive stress, the tensile stress generated by external pressure is offset by the strong compressive stress of glass, increasing the safety of glass use.

The strength of reinforced glass is about 5 times that of ordinary glass. When glass is damaged by external forces, it becomes bean sized particles, reducing harm to the human body. Do not forcefully collide with the glass surface during normal times. To prevent scratches on the glass surface, it is best to lay a tablecloth. When placing things on glass furniture, it is important to handle them gently and avoid collisions. During daily cleaning, wipe with a damp towel or newspaper.
