Laminated Safety Glass
Many people worry about the heavy use of glass in buildings. They see a skyscraper's exterior that's made of glass, and they constantly worry about breakage. However, modern glass is manufactured to reflect light but remain shatterproof and damage resistant for decades. With the growing use of glass in homes and high-rise buildings, learn more about custom bent safety glass and how Curved Glass Creations is a pioneer in this area.
Why Buy Bent Glass?
Custom bent safety glass is bent to create unique architectural designs. The glass takes on different sizes, shapes and colors. Now, builders can fit glass into staircases, walls, floors and ceilings instead of just plain, rectangular windowpanes.
Glass is always known to look elegant and sophisticated. When it's curved, it reflects the light at an angle and increases people's interest in the appearance. So, a shiny glass building that sells latex products can be mediocre on the inside and look entirely sophisticated on the outside.
Multi-layered Strength
Modern construction glass is made to be very strong and resilient. It's multilayered and shatterproof, so under immense pressure, the surface doesn't break if an object collides with it. This is a common problem with multistory buildings where birds fly by often and lower-level buildings where thousands of people walk by regularly.
Custom bent safety glass is equally strong as steel and more durable than several other construction materials. The doors and windows remain intact in any climate. This is combined with the fact that the glass has a high resistance to breakage.
We laminate using these sizes as an inner layer for the laminated glass:
➡️ .030 is used for all general laminated applications.
➡️ .060 is used for security purposes as it will make a break in more difficult.
➡️ .090 is used for all impact applications where hurricane safety or ballistic impact is an issue.
Insulated Glass
Insulated glass is coated to absorb and collect heat indoors. The amount of insulation is determined by the K value that measures thermal conductivity. Buyers should review the K value on glass products to see which ones absorb the amount of heating that they need.
Insulation is not necessary but it's highly recommended in good building design. It helps to lock heat in when the outdoor temperatures drop. Tinted glass windows keep the building cool inside, which is useful during the summer months. The glass is designed to resist temperatures at thousands of degrees Fahrenheit, so its properties are resistant to large fires.
