Architectural design and application of ultra-clear glass

2023-02-23

Glass, as a special synthetic material, has its own unique charm, it is crystal clear, brilliant and gorgeous, pure and illusory, quiet and cold and dynamic, with a unique sense of its own beauty. Glass architecture gradually come into modern society.

 

Ultra-clear glass is a kind of ultra-transparent low iron glass, also known as low-iron glass and high-transparency glass. It is a high-quality, multi-functional new type of high-end glass, with a light transmittance of over 91.5%, and is crystal clear, high-end and elegant.

Performance of Ultra clear glass

 

Ultra-clear glass has all the processability of high-quality float glass, and has superior physical, mechanical and optical properties. It can be processed in various deep processing like other high-quality float glass. The unparalleled superior quality and product performance make ultra-clear glass have broad application space and bright market prospects.

 

Ultra clear glass has good permeability and crystal texture, which can better fit the designer's design, provide designers with a variety of glass design application solutions, and highlight the design charm and design effect.

The self-explosion rate of ultra-clear glass is low. Since the raw materials of ultra-clear glass generally contain fewer impurities such as NiS, the probability of self-explosion after tempering is greatly reduced.

 

The color of the glass is consistent. Since the iron content in the raw material is only 1/10 or even lower than that of ordinary glass, ultra-clear glass absorbs fewer green bands of visible light than ordinary glass, which ensures the consistency of glass color and has appearance characteristics similar to the colorless crystal.

Visible light transmittance is high, close to nature, restores the real color, and permeability is good. The visible light transmittance of 6mm thick glass is greater than 91%. The true original appearance of the exhibits.

 

Ultra-clear glass has relatively high technological content, and it is difficult to control production, and it has strong profitability compared with ordinary glass. Higher quality determines its high price, with higher added value.

The high price and excellent quality make ultra-clear glass a symbol of a building's identity. Some well-known domestic buildings have adopted ultra-clear glass, and now many real estate companies have adopted ultra-clear glass.

Residential exterior facade

For example, the glass curtain wall of Kangqiao Xiangluwan is mainly made of ultra clear glass with a transmittance of over 91.5%, which has the characteristics of crystal clear, high-grade and elegant, and is mostly used in public buildings.

 

Facade of the sales office

Some sales are buildings that use ultra clear glass to achieve a light and transparent facade. Through the floor elevation, it can provide good lighting and landscape vision for the interior. When night falls, the light released by the room passes through the glass to achieve the artistic integration of space and light and shadow and expresses technology, future, and texture incisively and vividly.

Ultra clear glass has always been the main curtain wall material of Apple's flagship store. It seems to be the boundary between the internal and external spaces, but in fact, it uses the high light transmission of ultra clear glass to communicate the two spaces and break the spatial limitation.

 

Other occasions

In museums, airports and other contemporary public buildings, generally like to choose ultra clear glass as the main material of the light roof, ultra clear glass high light transmission, not only makes the light effect very good, but also effectively reduces the passage of ultraviolet light, reduce the fading and aging of indoor items.
