Instructions for purchasing U-shaped glass



U-shaped glass (also known as trough glass) is a new type of energy-saving wall profile glass for buildings. It is made of broken glass, quartz sand and other raw materials. It has the characteristics of good daylighting, heat insulation, sound insulation and noise prevention, high mechanical strength, anti-aging, and light resistance. The shape is striped, with a straight, elegant, and smooth lines of the times, and a unique decorative effect. Moreover, it is easy to install and has a low overall cost. Compared with ordinary steel flat glass structures, it can reduce costs by 20% -40%, reduce workload by 30% -50%, and save glass and metal consumption, Glass product  .

U-shaped glass is produced continuously by pressing and stretching before forming, resulting in a "U" shaped cross-section, hence it is called U-shaped glass. U-shaped glass

In order to have good transparency without perspective and appropriate decoration, it is commonly used to dry airports, stations, gyms, factories, office buildings, and guest rooms

Non load-bearing interior and exterior walls, partitions, windows, and roofs of industrial and civil buildings such as pavilions, residential buildings, and greenhouses. So what is the general price of U-shaped glass?

How is the construction of shaped glass done? Below, the editor will introduce it to everyone.



1、 What is U-shaped glass

U-shaped glass is the most widely used irregular glass in architecture. Due to its U-shaped cross-section, the stress on the glass is increased, making it more effective than flat glass

High mechanical strength, large installation span, and can save a lot of profiles. Simultaneously possessing the ideal transparency of glass; Double layer installation with good performance

Thermal insulation and sound insulation performance. The construction is simple and convenient, which can be used for building exterior walls, internal partitions, and exterior wall decoration, making it a landmark of the building

One of the quasi components.

U-shaped glass is a type of die-casting glass that is fired and formed using a computer-controlled glass furnace, which can maintain a constant high quality and precise size of the product. from

Due to its structure, the product has high strength and is installed in high-rise buildings or large areas that require lighting, without the need for additional horizontal or vertical supports. Due to

With a variety of installation methods, it has become one of the new types of green, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving glass with significant lighting, sound insulation, and insulation performance.



2、 Installation of U-shaped glass

(1) Check whether the size and flatness of the opening meet the design requirements. (2) Check if there are serrated cracks or cracks on the side and plane of the U-shaped glass (3) Inspection

Check the outer frame size and flatness of aluminum alloy profiles. 2. U-shaped glass installation:

U-shaped glass is generally manufactured and installed on site, in the following order

(1) Fix the frame material in the building opening with expansion bolts or nails, and the frame can be connected at right angles or corners. Each side of the border should have at least 3 fixed points

Point. The upper and lower frame materials should have one fixed point every 400-600.

(2) Cut the stabilizing plastic parts into corresponding lengths and place them in the upper and lower profiles in the frame.

(3) When installing U-shaped glass into the frame, the inner surface of the glass should be carefully wiped clean.

(4) Insert the U-shaped glass in sequence. The depth of inserting U-shaped glass into the upper frame should be greater than or equal to 20. The depth of inserting into the lower frame should be greater than or equal to 12, and the depth of inserting into the left stone frame material should be greater than or equal to 20.
