The use of art glass in decoration

Ordinary flat glass is also known as window glass. Flat glass has light transmission, heat insulation, sound insulation, wear-resistant, climate change resistance, and some have thermal insulation, heat absorption, radiation and other characteristics, and therefore widely used in mosaic buildings, windows, doors, walls, interior decoration and so on.

Flat glass specifications by thickness is usually divided into 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm, there is also the production of 8mm and 10mm. Generally 2mm, 3mm thick for civil buildings, 4mm - 6mm for industrial and high-rise buildings.

The defects affecting the quality of flat glass are mainly bubbles, stones and ripples. Air bubbles are latent cavities in the glass body, is in the manufacturing process of the cooling stage of careless treatment and produce. Stones commonly known as pimples, also known as sand, is present in the glass of solid inclusions, which is the most dangerous defects in the glass body, it not only destroys the appearance of glass products and optical homogeneity, but also will greatly reduce the mechanical strength and thermal stability of glass products, and even make the products break on their own.

Good flat glass products should have the following characteristics:

1) It is colorless and transparent or slightly light green

2) The thinness and thickness of the glass should be uniform, and the dimensions should be standardized

3) There are no or few bubbles, stones, and bobbins, scratches and other defects.

Users in the purchase of glass, you can first put the two pieces of glass flat together, so that each other match, uncovered, if you make a lot of force, it shows that the glass is very flat

Additionally, we must carefully observe the glass with or without bubbles, stones and ripples, scratches, etc., good quality glass from 60 centimeters away from the back of the light to the naked eye observation, does not allow a large or concentrated air bubbles, does not allow the corner of the corner or cracks, the glass surface is allowed to see the ripples. Cracks, the glass surface is allowed to see the maximum angle of the wave band, line road should not exceed 45 degrees; scratches sand should be less good.

Glass stored in a humid place for a long time, the surface will form a layer of cataract, so that the transparency of the glass will be greatly reduced, selection should be noted.

Hot melt glass

Hot melt glass, also known as crystal three-dimensional art glass, is currently beginning to appear in the decorative industry, the new family. Hot melt glass originated in Western countries, entered our market in recent years. Previously, China's market are foreign products, now domestic glass manufacturers have introduced foreign hot melt furnace production products. Hot melt glass with its unique decorative effect has become the focus of attention of design units, glass processing industry owners, decorative owners. Hot melt glass across the existing glass form, give full play to the designers and processors of the artistic conception of the modern or classical art form into the glass, so that the flat glass processing out of a variety of concave and convex, colorful and different artistic effects. There are many kinds of hot melt glass products, at present, there are hot melt glass blocks, hot melt glass for doors and windows, large wall embedded glass, partition glass, one-piece bathroom glass washbasin, finished mirror frame, glass artwork, etc. The application scope is very wide because of its unique glass material and artistic effect. Hot melt glass is made by special hot melting furnace, using flat glass and inorganic colorants as main raw materials, setting specific heating procedures and annealing curves, heating to the glass above the softening point, molded by special molding and annealed, and then, if necessary, carving, drilling, trimming and other post-processing procedures.

Laminated glass

Laminated glass, also known as laminated glass, is sandwiched between two pieces of glass into a layer of polyvinyl butyral as the main component of the PVB interlayer. Even if the glass is broken, the fragments will be glued to the film, and the surface of the broken glass remains neat and smooth. This effectively prevents the occurrence of debris stabbing and penetrating falling events, ensuring personal safety.

In Europe and the United States, most of the architectural glass is laminated glass, not only to avoid injury accidents, but also because laminated glass has excellent resistance to seismic intrusion. The interlayer can withstand continuous attacks by hammers, cleavers and other murderous weapons, and can also resist bullet penetration for a considerable period of time, and its level of safety precautions can be extremely high.

Modern living room, sound insulation effect is good, has become people measure the quality of housing one of the important factors. The use of Saflex? 睵 VB interlayer of laminated glass can block sound waves, maintaining a quiet, comfortable office environment. Its unique UV filtration function not only protects the health of people's skin, but also allows valuable furniture, displays, etc. to get rid of fading bad luck. It also attenuates the transmission of sunlight and reduces cooling energy consumption.

Many advantages of laminated glass, used in home decoration will also have unexpected good results. Such as many family doors, including the kitchen door, are made of frosted glass. Cooking kitchen fumes are easy to accumulate on it, if the laminated glass instead, there will not be this trouble. Similarly, a large area of glass spacing at home, for the naturally active children is a security risk, if the use of laminated glass, parents can be greatly assured.

Laminated glass is safe from breakage, and may shatter on impact with a heavy ball, but the whole piece of glass remains in one piece, with broken pieces and small sharp fragments still sticking together with the interlayer. Tempered glass requires a larger impact to break, and once broken, the whole glass bursts into countless fine particles, with only a small amount of broken glass remaining in the frame. Ordinary glass is broken on impact, the typical broken condition, resulting in many long, sharp fragments. Laminated glass broken, mirror tooth-shaped fragments surround the hole, and in the penetration point around the more glass fragments remain, wire breaks varying lengths.

Sandblasted glass

Sandblasted glass with high-tech technology to make the surface of the flat glass caused by erosion, thus forming a translucent matte effect, with a hazy sense of beauty. In the decoration of the living room, sandblasted glass can be used to express the definition of the region but not closed to each other, such as in the dining room and living room, sandblasted glass can be used to make a fine screen.

Painted glass

Painted glass is a decorative glass used more often in home decoration. In the production, the first with a special glue to draw a variety of patterns, and then traced with lead oil separating lines, and then finally with a special gel pigment coloring on the pattern. Stained glass patterns are rich and bright, the appropriate use of stained glass in the living room, can be more comfortable to create a pleasing and harmonious atmosphere, adding a romantic and charming modern mood.

Carved glass

Carved glass is divided into artificial carving and computerized carving two kinds. Artificial carving of which the use of skillful knife with the depth and twist, more expressive of the texture of the glass, so that the painted pattern gives a person a feeling of desire to come out. Carved glass is a very tasteful home decoration of a decorative glass, painted patterns generally have personality "creativity", reflecting the interest of the owner of the room and the pursuit.

Inlaid glass

Inlaid glass can reflect the changes in home space, is a decorative glass with a random. It can be colorful patterns of glass, misty glass, clear and transparent glass any combination, and then separated by metal wire, reasonable with the "creativity", presenting different aesthetics, more enchanting.

View floating glass

View floating glass is a new high-tech products, is a big breakthrough in the static and motionless decorative glass. As the name suggests, it is in the absence of any external forces, the pattern of its own color with the change in the observer's point of view and fluttering, that is, with the movement of people's line of sight to bring changes in the glass pattern changes, color changes, the formation of a unique visual floating effect, so that the living room adds a sense of mystery and dynamism.

Glass tile

The style of glass tile transparent glass tile, matte glass tile, grain glass tile several kinds of glass tile, glass tile of different kinds, the degree of light refraction will be different. Glass tiles are available in a variety of colors. The purity of the glass is going to affect the color of the whole block, the higher the purity of the glass block, the higher the relative price. Without the stained transparent glass block, if the purity is not enough, its glass block color will be green, lack of natural transparency.

The hollow glass block will be glued together with two pieces of glass by burning in a fused way, and then white glue and cement will be stirred to close the gap, which can be based on the size of the glass block, size, pattern, and color to do different design performance. Depending on the size, pattern and color of the glass blocks, it is possible to design straight, curved and discontinuous glass walls in your home. It is worth noting that in the construction of large brick walls or curved construction, you need to pull the copper bar to maintain the level of the brick, while in the construction of small brick walls, you need to place a special fixing bracket in the corner of each glass block connected to the construction.

Handmade art glass is a work of art with the overall environment as one, in addition to excellent light transmission, the uniqueness of its handmade and color change is also a wonderful decorative embellishment for the home space points. In the wall, door decoration, light wall, recessed lights in many designs can be changed out of the new, its material is different from the general metal or other materials made of decorative items, meticulous handmade expression of uniformity and soft sense of light, is the sun's gentle relayer. However, due to the high unit price, the application can be mixed with other decorative materials as a decorative, to create a good effect of lighting changes.

Low-E glass

Low-E glass, also known as LOW-E (Lou Yi) glass, is a member of the coated glass family, this glass can reduce the indoor and outdoor temperature difference caused by heat transfer.

It is a new generation of coated glass that can let outdoor solar energy and visible light pass through it like float glass, and reflect back the secondary radiant heat of the object like infrared reflector. Used in any climatic environment, it can achieve the control of sunlight, energy saving, heat control regulation and improve the environment.

Industry insiders also called it thermostatic glass: that is, no matter how much the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, as long as the installation of low-e glass, indoor air-conditioning costs can be spent very little to maintain a warmer winter and cooler summer situation forever.

But it should be noted that low-e glass in addition to the impact of the glass of ultraviolet light, shading coefficient, but also from a certain point of view on the observation will be a small number of different colors appear in the reflective surface of the glass.

Congmin stained glass

This glass will change color when certain chemicals appear in the air, which makes it in the environmental monitoring, medical diagnosis, as well as home décor can play an important role.

Researchers at the University of California are working on a solution for manufacturing glass in which a highly selective enzyme or protein is added, and the additive changes color when certain chemicals are present.

Radium glass

In the glass or transparent organic polyester film coated with a layer of light-sensitive layer, the use of lasers in the arbitrary geometric grating or holographic grating, plated with aluminum (or silver, aluminum) and then coated with a protective paint, which was made into a radium glass. It is irradiated in the light, can form a diffraction of the color spectrum, and with the incident angle of the light or the human eye to observe the angle of change and present the view of a varied and fascinating patterns. Its service life of up to 50 years, and is to the family Juan development.

Smart glass

This glass is made of electrochromic principle. It is in the United States and Germany, some cities in the building decoration is very popular, smart glass is characterized by the sun at noon, south-facing windows, with the increase in the amount of sunlight radiation, it will automatically darken, and at the same time, in the shadow of the other windows in the direction of the beginning of bright. With smart windows, people don't have to match dark colors or install mechanical shades to keep out the sun. In severe winters, these north-facing smart windows provide the building with 70% of the sun's radiation and the warmth of diffused sunlight. At the same time, buildings with color-changing glass can reduce heating and cooling energy requirements by 25 percent, lighting by 60 percent, and peak power requirements by 30 percent.

Breathing glass

Like living creatures have a respiratory effect, it is used to eliminate the uncomfortable feeling of people in the room. Japan's Yoshida Industries, Inc. application of German patents slightly improved, has developed a can eliminate the uncomfortable feeling of breathing windows, named IFJ windows. Determined, equipped with breathing glass room temperature difference is only 0.5 degrees Celsius or so, especially suitable for people's senses. Not only that, breathing glass also has a high energy-saving effect. Conventional, its air-conditioning load factor of 80, fitted with breathing windows, down to 51.9 (the smaller the coefficient of energy efficiency is better). Reportedly, this breathing window frame is made of special aluminum profile material, the external use of thermal insulation materials, while the window glass is used to reflect infrared double-glass, in the middle of the double-glass leaving a 12-mm gap in the middle of the inert gas-filled argon, close to the inner side of the room's glass coated with a layer of metal film.

Vacuum glass

This glass is double-paned, because in the double-paned glass is pumped into a vacuum, so it has a very high thermal resistance, which is not comparable to other glass. It is widely recognized that vacuum windows have a high degree of practicality. Summer, outdoor heat can not "drill" into the room; winter, the room will not escape the warm air, said to resist the heat, cold invasion of the "loyal defenders", and no air conditioning brought about by the various shortcomings.

Color inlaid glass

The use of color inlaid glass can not only bring a new feeling, and it itself has a modern shape, classical elegance, integration of art and practicality as a whole, coupled with clever ideas and new technology skills, can play a personal aesthetic point of view, according to their own design creativity and ingenuity, random combinations. Today's more popular types are: embossed, ice crystal, mirror, frosted, frosted and various colors of stained glass, with copper or aluminum metal frame slightly different delicate mosaic with.

Insulating glass

Insulating glass is composed of two or more layers of ordinary plate glass. Surrounded by high-strength, high airtight, sex composite binder, two or more pieces of glass and sealing strips, glass strip bonding seal, the middle of the dry gas, the frame is filled with desiccant to ensure that the air between the glass pieces of dryness. Its characteristics, due to leave a certain cavity, and has good thermal insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation and other properties. Mainly used for heating, air conditioning, anechoic facilities of the outer glass decoration. Its optical properties, thermal conductivity, sound insulation coefficient should be in line with national standards.

High-performance insulating glass

High-performance insulating glass in addition to the two layers of glass sealed between the dry air, but also in the middle of the outer glass air layer side, coated with a layer of thermal performance of a special metal film, which can block the solar ultraviolet radiation into the indoor energy. Its characteristics are better energy-saving effect, heat insulation, heat preservation, improve the indoor environment. The appearance of eight colors, rich in excellent decorative art value.

Tempered glass

Tempered glass is also known as reinforced glass. It is the use of heating to a certain temperature and then quickly cooled method, or chemical methods for special treatment of glass. It is characterized by high strength, its bending strength, impact strength than ordinary flat glass 3 to 5 times higher. It has good safety performance, has uniform internal stress, and shows net-like cracks after breaking. It is mainly used for doors, windows, partition walls and cabinet doors. Tempered glass is also in acid and alkali resistance. The general thickness is 2-5 millimeters. Its specification size is 400 mm X 900 mm, 500 mm X 1200 mm.

Semi-tempered glass

Semi-tempered glass between ordinary plate glass and tempered glass, a variety of both the advantages of tempered glass, such as higher strength than ordinary glass, while avoiding the tempered glass poor flatness, easy to self-detonation, once the destruction of the whole crushed and other unsatisfactory weaknesses. Semi-tempered glass damage, radial cracking along the crack source radial cracking, generally no tangential crack expansion, so the damage can still maintain the whole does not collapse.

Semi-tempered glass in the building for curtain walls and windows, can be made of tempered coated glass, its image distortion is better than tempered glass. However, it should be noted that the semi-tempered glass does not belong to the scope of safety glass, because once it is broken, there are still sharp fragments that may hurt people, and can not be used for skylights and the possibility of human impact occasions.

Semi-tempered glass surface compressive stress between 24MPa and 52MPa, tempered glass surface pressure should be greater than 69MPa. semi-tempered glass production process is the same as tempered glass, only in the quenching and cooling station of the wind pressure has a difference in the cooling can be less than tempered glass.

Laminated glass

Laminated glass, also known as shatterproof glass. It is the ordinary flat glass heated to red hot softened state, and then the preheated wire or wire mesh pressed into the middle of the glass and made. It is characterized by superior fire resistance, can block the flame, high temperature combustion does not explode, broken fragments will not cause injury. In addition, there is anti-theft performance, glass cut and wire mesh block. Mainly used for roof skylights, balcony windows.

Glass mosaic

Glass mosaic is also known as glass tile or glass mosaic tile. It is a small size of colored finish glass. The general specifications are 20mm x 20mm, 30mm x 30mm, 40mm x 40mm. The thickness is 4-6 mm. It belongs to small pieces of vitreous inlay materials of various colors. Appearance is colorless and transparent, coloring transparent, translucent, with gold or silver spots, patterns or stripes. The front side is glossy smooth and delicate; the back side with a rougher groove pattern, so as to facilitate the paste with mortar. Characteristics are: with a soft tone, simple, elegant, beautiful and generous, chemical stability, cold and heat stability and other advantages. And there is no discoloration, no accumulation of dust, light weight, bonding and other characteristics, mostly used for indoor local, balcony exterior decoration. Its compressive strength, tensile strength, blooming temperature, water resistance, acid resistance should be in line with national standards.

Float glass

The molding process of float production is completed in the tin tank with protective gas (N2 and H2). Molten glass from the pool kiln continuous inflow and floating in the relative density of the tin liquid surface, under the action of gravity and surface tension, the liquid glass in the tin liquid surface spread, spreading, forming the upper and lower surfaces of the flat, hardened, cooled and was led on the transition roller table. Roller table rollers rotate, the glass belt pulled out of the tin tank into the annealing kiln, after annealing, cutting, you get flat glass products. Float compared with other forming methods, its advantages are: suitable for high efficiency manufacturing of high-quality flat glass, such as no ripples, uniform thickness, the upper and lower surfaces are flat, parallel to each other; the size of the production line is not subject to the limitations of the forming method, low energy consumption per unit of product; finished product utilization rate is high; easy to scientific management and the realization of the whole now mechanized, automated, labor productivity is high; the cycle of continuous operation for up to a few years, is conducive to Stable production; can provide suitable conditions for online production of some new varieties, such as electric float reflective glass, annealed spray film glass, cold end surface treatment.

Embossed glass

Embossed glass, also known as patterned glass or tumbled glass, is a kind of flat glass manufactured by calendering method, and the manufacturing process is divided into single-roll and double-roll method. Single-roll method is the glass liquid poured into the calendering table, the table can be made of cast iron or cast steel, the table or rollers engraved pattern, rollers in the glass liquid surface grinding, made of embossed glass and then sent to the annealing kiln. Double-roller production of embossed glass is divided into semi-continuous calendering and continuous calendering of two processes, the glass liquid through the water-cooled pair of rollers, with the rollers rotating forward to the annealing kiln, generally the lower rollers have a concave-convex pattern on the surface of the rollers, the upper rollers are polished rollers, so as to make the embossed glass with a pattern on one side. The physical and chemical properties of embossed glass is basically the same as ordinary transparent plate glass, only in the optical characteristics of light transmission opaque, can make the light soft, and has the role of the screen protection of privacy and certain decorative effect. Embossed glass is suitable for indoor intervals in buildings, bathroom doors and windows and the need to need to block the line of sight of various occasions.

Coated glass

Divided into online and offline coated glass.

Online coating refers to the coating process is carried out in the float glass manufacturing process, such as online thermal spraying is the float production line after the molding area, the beginning of the annealing kiln, through the attached spray gun in the glass plate surface spray coating, after the annealing kiln, the film layer burned on the surface of the glass, so it is called the online coating.

Offline coating is in the flat glass factory, then the coating process. Compared with the online coating, the firmness of the film layer is bound to suffer some impact, so offline coating on the glass raw piece of "freshness" is a certain requirement.

The above is for reference only. 。。。。。
