U-shaped glass - a hazy beauty that is opaque to light and scenery

U-shaped glass, also known as trough glass (hereinafter referred to as: U-glass), is produced continuously by the method of rolling after forming. Because of its cross section is "U" shape, so it is named. Can be divided into U-shaped glass and double U-shaped glass. There are two kinds of U-shaped glass according to the section shape, which are single U-shaped glass and double U-shaped glass. Double U-shaped with less, generally speaking, the market is commonly used is ordinary U-shaped glass.

The left is ordinary U-shaped glass and the right is double U-shaped glass

U glass color colorless and colored, surface flat and printing, transparent and sandblasted (opaque)

From the color, there are colorless and colored, color is also very rich, manufacturers are generally colored number for choice; Common colors include orange, yellow, golden yellow, sky blue, blue, sapphire blue, green and wisteria. In terms of transparency, it can be divided into transparent and sandblasting (opaque).

U glass characteristic 1: non-combustible material

U-shaped glass can serve indoor and outdoor landscape design in many forms. In the interior, it can be designed as an internal partition, lighting strip or background light element. Outdoor space can be enclosed, ornamental landscape wall. If there are special requirements according to the relevant specifications for design, such as: arc shape.

U glass characteristic two: light transmission without projection, alleviate light pollution

U-shaped glass is light transmittable without projection. Direct light is converted to diffuse light after U glass, creating a private landscape space. The cause of urban light pollution is that mirror and metal mirror glass are used to produce directional reflection, causing light pollution in the environment, while U-shaped glass can slowly reflect light out, thus alleviating the light pollution in the city.

U glass characteristic three: high strength, no structural support

Because the section is U-shaped, it has higher mechanical strength than ordinary plate glass. U-shaped glass comes in two types: ordinary type and reinforced type with wire or mesh. The special wire or wire mesh in the glass liquid into the calendering unit before the glass liquid, pressed to form a glass belt with wire or mesh reinforced, and then into the U-shaped glass forming machine, that is, become enhanced U-shaped glass.

U glass characteristic four: good sound insulation and heat insulation

U-shaped glass has good sound insulation effect and thermal insulation effect, simple construction can be single, double layer installation combination, construction is also very simple.

Common U glass has the following 8 combination modes

Architectural structure design

A: U-shaped glass has different surface treatment methods, including ordinary embossed glass, colored glass, etc. In addition to ordinary embossed glass, other glass should be indicated in the design selection.

B: U-shaped glass is a non-combustible material. If there are special requirements, it should be designed according to relevant specifications.

C: U-shaped glass classification:

In terms of strength, U-shaped glass has two types: ordinary type and reinforced type with wire or mesh. The special wire or wire mesh in the glass liquid into the calendering unit before the glass liquid, pressed to form a glass belt with wire or mesh reinforced, and then into the U-shaped glass forming machine, that is, become enhanced U-shaped glass.

In terms of surface state, U-shaped glass has two kinds: ordinary glass and patterned glass. U-shaped glass with ideal pattern can be produced by using embossed calender rolls.

Divided by color, U-shaped glass has two kinds of colorless and color, with color and body coloring and coating two kinds. Coating color has a variety of, common orange yellow, yellow, golden, sky blue, blue, sapphire blue, green and wisteria color.

D: U-shaped glass is a non-combustible material. If there are special requirements, it is designed according to relevant specifications.

E: The test results of the orientation of the U-shaped glass wings show that the strength of the two wings is higher in the windward side than in the leeward side.

F: U-shaped glass shall be combined in the following ways according to its shape and architectural function:

G: When the length of U-shaped glass partition wall is greater than 6000 and the height is greater than 4500, the stability of the wall body should be calculated and corresponding measures should be taken.

H: When U-shaped glass is used in a room with high humidity and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, the drainage and dripping of dew on the glass surface should be handled well.

I: When U-shaped glass is used for circular wall and roof, the radius of curvature should not be less than 1500.

J: See the national standard atlas "U-shaped Glass Exterior Decoration Standard 06J501" for the joint structure.
