Type of glass used in buildings:
Various types of glass are utilized in buildings for diverse purposes, catering to the distinct preferences of subscribers. Here are the key objectives:
A) Vision and View: Customers often seek clear views through glass windows. Some prioritize specific types of glass to enhance the building’s aesthetic appeal.
B) Lighting: Glass windows are chosen to maximize natural light penetration, minimizing the need for electrical lighting and reducing associated heat.
C) Blocking Harmful Rays: Glass helps block harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays. UV rays can fade colors, while infrared rays contribute to increased air conditioning loads.
D) Thermal Insulation: Opting for glass with a low thermal transfer coefficient (U-VALUE) aids in thermal insulation. This reduces the load on air conditioning systems and the associated energy consumption.
E) Other Secondary Purposes: Glass serves additional functions, such as reducing external noise, preventing water vapor condensation, and enhancing security measures.
Types of glass in buildings and Windows:
1) Single Glass: Ordinary glass commonly used for public purposes.
2) Double Glazing: Consists of two glass layers with an air space between them, providing thermal insulation.
3) Low-Emissivity Glass (LOW-E): Emits relatively little heat.
4) Heat Reflective Glass: Features a membrane with a “Heat Mirror” substance that reflects UV and infrared rays, allowing ample visible light penetration. Includes two air spaces for enhanced thermal insulation.
5) Laminated Glass: Incorporates a robust plastic sheet between two glass sheets, ensuring safety upon breakage. Often used in automotive applications.
6) Other Types: Transparent or lightly tinted variations are available for all the mentioned types. Tinting reduces glare, mitigating potential increases in building temperature caused by the sun.
