It can be said that this year is the year of skyscraper construction. According to statistics from the High-rise Building and the Urban Habitat Council, the combined height of these buildings has reached 35,246 meters, more than the length of Manhattan Island. At present, China is at the forefront of the wave of skyscraper construction. This year, a total of 88 buildings were completed. skyscrapers—2018-built   Beijing China Zun(Chongxin Building) is the tallest building built in the world in 2018. It is 528 meters high and has 108 floors. It is now the eighth tallest building in the world and the fourth tallest building in China. The second tallest skyscraper built in 2018 is the “Vincom Landmark 81” in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 469.5 meters high, and the third highest is the 452-meter-high Changsha IFC Center Building. The United States completed 13 skyscraper projects in 2018, second only to China, and the United Arab Emirates ranked third in completing 10 projects. Due to China’s ambitions, Asia has become a global skyscraper construction center, accounting for 76.2% of all completed projects this year. North America accounted for 11.2%, while the Middle East and Africa accounted for 9.1%. #### 20 FAQ about low emissivity glass-Glass Guidance What’s the component of solar radiation? The solar radiation include 3 parts: UV radiation (Wavelength range 0.01～0.38 microns),visible light (Wavelength range 0.38～0.75 microns),near infrared radiation(Wavelength range 0.75～3 microns). What’s the difference between near infrared radiation and far infrared radiation? Near-infrared radiation comes directly from the sun, and its heat is not obvious, but it can be converted into heat after being absorbed by an object.Near infrared radiation cannot transmit the glass directly,it can be only been reflected or absorbed by the glass,after glass absorbing the near infrared radiation,glass temperature will increase and become a radiation source itself. Far infrared is a result of solar energy conversion or artificial production,such as the stove,house appliance, human body,and the furniture that lighted by the sun.In summer,the exterior road,buildings are the main source of far infrared after lighted by the sun. What kind of thermal that are transferred through glass? The energy that transferred through glass include direct solar radiation ,typical parameter to measure it is glass SC (Shading coefficient) and SHGC (Solar heat gain) . The 2nd part is convection conduction of heat transfer.It’s related to the infrared radiation. U value is the parameter to measure ,and measurement are W/m²K. Transfer heat from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object: heat conduction, heat convection, and thermal radiation. What’s glass SC ?   Glass SC is to measure the UV & visible light solar radiation transmitted the glass. Glass SC is short for glass shading coefficient,which means Under the same conditions, the ratio of the solar radiant energy through the glass to the solar radiant energy through the 3mm transparent glass. The solar radiation energy through 3mm transparent glass is 630w/m2. The higher SC value,the more solar radiation penetrated the glass to decrease heating costs in summer,it’s widely used in long winter areas. The lower SC value,the better blocking effect of direct solar radiation and reduce the solar radiation energy entering the room,suitable for hot areas.   What’s glass U value?   The heat energy transmitted through the glass due to convection conduction, includes the transmission of heat energy after the glass absorbs the heat energy and then radiates outward&inward. Therefore,lower emmissivity,the lower U value. What’s low e glass? Low e glass is short for Low emissivity glass,is to have a multi layer coating composing metalic &chemical on glass surface to decrease the glass emissivity ratio from 0.84 to below 0.15,or even only 0.03.The typical emissivity of low e glass include single silver low-E,double silver low-E and triple silver low-E,which contains 1 layer, 2layer,and 3 layers silver coatings.Hard coated low e glass as relatively higher emissivity compared with the soft coated low e. Hard coated low e VS Soft coated low e Difference between Single silver low-E,double silver low e and triple silver low e coating layer-single-double-triple silver lowe coating What’s the function of the low-E coating? The feature of low e coating is thermal insulation. The low emissivity coating can reflect the far infrared radiation directly,especially the silver layer inside the soft coated low-E coating can reflect 98% far infrared radiation like mirrors. The coating has little capability absorbing the heat,which will control the glass surface temperature very well, the heat re-radiated out from the glass is little accordingly. Despite controlling the infrared,the coating as a variety options with different visible light transmittance and SC value(0.2-0.7)  to control the ratio of direct solar energy transmitted through the glass,which can be selected by users both in hot and cold areas. insulated glass-heat transfer-morn bm   What’s the difference between solar reflective glass and low e glass?   Solar reflective glass reduces the shading coefficient of the glass and restricts the direct solar radiation from entering the room through the glass, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing air-conditioning costs and saving energy. Low-E glass reduces the U value of the glass to restrict the far-infrared radiation from penetrating the glass,in addition, the shading coefficient has a large adjustment range, which can effectively control the direct solar radiation energy entering the room.   What’s the mature coating types of low e glass?   There’re 2 kinds of low e glass,soft coated low e coating and hard coated low e coating. Hard coated low e glass is manufactured on a float glass production line. This type of glass has a single variety, poor heat reflection performance. Its only advantage is that it can be used as monolithic glass or been laminated. Soft coated low e glass is manufactured by the vacuum magnetron sputtering process .It has a variety of colors, excellent heat reflection performance, and obvious energy-saving characteristics. The disadvantage is that it must be made into insulated glass,or the coating will be oxidized once exposed in the air.   Does low e glass wok at night?   Yes,low e glass work anytime.No matter what kind of far infrared,whether it’s caused by the solar,or artificial far infrared,it can always reflect the infrared heat.   How does low e coating works in summer and winter?   In winter, the indoor temperature is higher than outdoors, and the far-infrared heat radiation mainly comes from indoors. Low-E glass can reflect it back indoors to keep indoor heat from escaping. In summer, the outdoor temperature is higher than indoors, Low-E glass can reflect the exterior heat out to prevent heat from entering the room. For outdoor solar radiation, Low-E glass with low shading coefficient can be selected to restrict its entry into the room, thereby reducing cooling costs. Low-E coating on surface #2 or surface #3? Insulating glass has 4 surfaces, the number from outdoor to indoor is 1#, 2#, 3#, 4# surface. In areas where the heating demand exceeds the cooling demand , the Low-E film layer should be on surface #3.  Conversely, in areas where cooling demand exceeds heating demand (southern areas), the Low-E film should be on the 2nd surface. Low e coating position-Surface #2 VS Surface #3 low e coated glass -morn-china-manufacturer-morn What’s the function of argon filled in insulated glass?   Argon is an inert gas, and its heat transfer performance is worse than air. Therefore, argon filled insulated glass will have better thermal insulation,lower U value, argon also protect the Low-E film.   How much Uv the low-e coating can block?   Ultraviolet is short-wave radiation, invisible to the naked eye, it accounts for about 2% of the total solar radiation. Ultraviolet rays can kill bacteria, but long-term exposure can burn human skin and eyes, and also cause furniture and clothing to fade.   Low-E glass can reduce ultraviolet rays by 25%. compared with clear glass, It cannot completely avoid furniture fading, but it can slow down the fading.   Do shades, trees and awnings affect the performance of Low-E glass?   These objects can restrict the heat and light entering the room through the glass window, that is, block part of the solar energy from passing through, but it does not affect the performance of Low-E glass. insulated glass with frosted glass effect-MORN -CHINA Is the windows&glass installation angle affect the glass U value? Yes,the glass U value and shading coefficient are not affected by the installation angle,while in winter,the glass U value increase significantly with the angle from 90degress to 0 degrees.So for glass roofs,skylights,please select a low e coating with better U value. How the glass U value been affected by the installation angle? The double glazed unit used in glass skylight should be toughened glass or heat strengthened glass.The inner pane may be toughened or laminated GLASS. What’s the effect combing the low e coating with body tinted glass?   There’re 3 kinds of combinations: Coating directly on body tinted glass, clear low e glass + body tinted insulated glass, laminate body tinted glass with clear low e coated glass. Tinted glass can further reduce the shading coefficient,thereby restricting more direct solar radiation from entering the room. Therefore, the combined effect of these three methods is very good, and it is more suitable for use in tropical regions. Combining with colored glass can also greatly increase its decorative effect. But do pay attention that coating on tinted glass price is higher ,also contains many advantages and disadvantages. glass curtain wall with tinted glass insulated glass-morn-china What’s the lifetime of low e coating? Hard coated low e glass lifetime is same as the glass lifetime. Soft coated low-E glass,after unpack the glass package,it’s suggested to make into insulated glass asap,or the coating will be damaged or oxidized within 30 days or even shorter time. Once been made into insulated glass,the coating lifetime is same as the glass sealing time.   Where can we buy high performance low e coated glass? Hard coated low-E manufacturers in China include AGC, Jinjing, SYP,Kibing. Hard coated low e options in China As Soft coated low-E must be made into insulated glass,it’s suggested to purchase finished insulated glass with high performance low e coating directly,Morn glass is your turnkey coated glass supplier,our products include single,double and triple silver low e insulated glass,click below link to check our coated glass performance data: W1.1 and W1.16 low E coating for greenhouse /conservatory Morn-Coated glass performance data Morn-Triple silver low-E glass performance data triple silver low-E coated glass-solarban 70XL-CHINA What’s low e coated glass price? The glass price varies based on different project requirement,generally the glass combination,glass size,materials used in the insulated glass ,and many other factors-glass packing,broken&replacement,shipping costs affect the final insulated glass price.   Need more help?

In 2019, “China’s Top Ten Ugly Buildings” has been successfully held for ten sessions in Beijing. With the passage of time, the public’s perception of ugly construction is constantly “evolving”, and some buildings that are vain and ignore the actual value can hardly escape the discerning eyes of the public. BACKGROUND This selection focuses on the development of Chinese architectural culture, criticizes the evil from a professional perspective, allows the owners, contractors, architects and the public to guides the healthy development of the industry. The selection of ugly buildings is not to hit someone or a building, but to curb the frequent appearance of ugly buildings and promote excellent architectural culture. Next, the ugly selection activity will continue until our architectural design achieves a truly rational and healthy development. This is the ultimate goal of the ugly building selection.   ELECTION STANDARD The function of the building is extremely unreasonable Extremely inharmonious with the surrounding environment and natural conditions Plagiarism, copycat Foreign and antiquestyles Eclectic, patchwork Blind Bionics Deliberately symbolic, metaphor Weird and vulgar shape Do it deliberately when you know it is impossible   Since 2010 -2019,90 buildings were elected as the China TOP10 ugly buildings,here we introduce the most typical and most ugly buildings,most buildings are based on China culture,and were designed based on the symbols of China happy elements,or simulate famous oversea buildings,or,with unique and strange shapes,whether it’s similar to spaceship,hot pot,or drums.   Shenyang Fangyuan Mansion The building design looks like ancient China coin,the exterior is round and inner with a square,100% same . Designed by C.Y. Lee & Partners in Taiwan, it is used as an office building with a construction area of 48,000 square meters, a building height of 99.75 meters, and a total of 24 floors. In January 2012, it was selected as the ten ugliest buildings in the world by CNN. Beside this,in Guangzhou,another building was designed to be same shape… Handan Yuanbao Pavilion   The pavilion was designed to be same as a golden ingots,which is also the symbol of money and wealth.The pursue of money and wealth is always the good idea for designers. This is the only building ,another building height 123 meters has the similar design purpose. Jinquan Times has a building area of 150,000 square meters and a total building height of 122.8 meters. The facade adopts all-golden glass curtain walls. The building structure is a pure steel frame structure. The steel consumption is 37,000 tons, which is equivalent to three-quarters of the steel consumption of the Bird’s Nest. ,   China white-house,the white-house actually is a government building located in a small county,the building copied USA white house. Typical European style, huge and neat lawn, tall and gorgeous walls, and no national emblem hung, “If it weren’t for the red flag , I really don’t know if it is in the United States or China.” A villager said half jokingly. Not only whitehouse,the Russian Kremlin was copied and become the office building in Beijing. Chongqing Tian’anmen,despite money and wealth,the authority and power is also perfect idea in designing, a small town’s government office building was built to be same as Beijing Tiananmen,which is the political center of China. 5..Swan harbor,its appearance is similar to Sydney Opera House. 6.Suzhou London tower:Suzhou Xiangcheng built the landmark “London Tower Bridge” with style and characteristics comparable to the “London Tower Bridge”, a symbol of London in the United Kingdom.

This is not a wine bottle,but a office building located in China Wuliangye,a wine factory in Sichuan.they build a building based on their best selling wine. Another similar building also exist in Hubei wine factory.   8.Tianzi hotel.Yes,this building is designed based on China legend people,they ‘re the symbol of long life,wealthy,and power. Fu Lu and Shou are the characters in the traditional Chinese cultural mythology. they symbolize wealth, fame and longevity, and can be collectively referred to as “three stars”, “three immortals” or “fortune longevity”. 9.Beijing Pangu ,the overall building looks like a Chinese dragon,but the dragon head is quite special and looks quite strange. The “torch”-style main building (Block A) has a height of 191.65 meters, and it appeared in the Chinese scene of the movie “Transformers 4” Pangu Grand View is a real estate project integrating office buildings, international apartments, hotels and commercial corridors. Pangu Seven Star Hotel is located in it. The hotel has a fitness club, a French restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, and a sky lounge. 10.Shenyang Jinshan square,the building looks like FIFA world cup trophy. 11..The Tea Culture Exhibition Hall, known as “the world’s first pot”, is located on the top of Huoyan Mountain in Meitan County, Guizhou Province. The “teapot” is a reinforced concrete structure with a height of 48.2 meters, a base height of 25.6 meters, a total height of 73.8 meters, a maximum diameter of 24 meters, and a volume of 28,360.23 cubic meters. 12.BAOJI FAMEN temple,actually I don’t know what’s this exactly,the temple looks like hands… 13.Suzhou Easten waterfall. The world’s tallest artificial waterfall building is located in Xiangcheng District, Suzhou. The building is the world’s highest Guinness-level artificial water system landscape. It is 110 meters high and has a construction area of 19,437 square meters. The entire building consists of 6 stepped bases with a 63-meter main waterfall and 113 meters It is composed of the top floor of the Optimus Jade Column with a height of more than 138 meters, and it is named the Oriental Waterfall Building,in 2015 the building was removed. 14.Hefei Wanda Plaza.Hefei Wanda Cultural Tourism City covers an area of 100 hectares, with a total construction area of 900,000 square meters, and plans four major contents of culture, tourism, commerce, and hotels.The building is a drum..   15.Yes,Wanda again,it’s another buildings based on a teapot.The building has a height of 38.8 meters. The materials used are mainly aluminum plates and insulated glass. Each piece of glass has different shapes and sizes. The dome uses artistic stained glass. 16.Chongqing hot pot museum:The love for hot pot in China brings the idea that makes the hot pot museum to be a hot pot into life…Right,China designers,perfect,great work. 17.Beijing Xingchuang center.Xingchuang Building is located in Daxinghuang Village,  It is a commercial office building with a height of 80 meters.people like to call it  “Large Intestine Tower”. 18.Guiyang Science &technology center I don’t know how to comment it,but it’s really strange and looks very in-comfortable. 19.The gate of orient The total site area of orient gate is 24,319 square meters, and the total construction area (including the underground part) is 453,141.79 square meters. Among them, the above-ground construction area is 336680.71 square meters, and the underground construction area is 116461.08 square meters. Eastern Gate won the title of “China’s most complex super high-rise building”; “China’s tallest infinity swimming pool” ; “China’s tallest crossing Tianhe” ; “China’s tallest sky Soviet garden” Other honors. Don’t you think it a big trousers? 20.Guangzhou Nanfeng mansion,another building with unique shape.really don’t understand what the architect was thinking when designing the special shape. Later we’ll share the second part of the China ugly building in another post,to be continued. Download this article here:2010-2019 Top 40 China Ugliest buildings-Pa #### 2010-2019 Top 40 China Ugly buildings:Part 2 “China’s Top 10 Ugly Buildings” was an event sponsored by Changyan website, which aims to curb the frequent appearance of ugly buildings and promote excellent architectural culture. In previous post 2010-2019 Top 40 China Ugliest buildings:Part 1, we introduced 20 ugly buildings,here another 20 buildings again. Erdos Library:Do you believe that this this a library,not a granary? The new library of Ordos City Library was built in 2006 and officially put into use in July 2009. The new hall covers an area of 21,200 square meters, with a total construction area of 41,670 square meters, with one basement and eight above ground.   Shaoxing water park. Cobblestone?

Yunnan university. Why??? Why this round shape? The building wasted much space and with same building area ,they built a semi-round ugly building,looks like a Chinese type grave. Shanghai Jiaotong university gate, actually we would like to call it slippers gate. Hebei Baiyangdian park.It is 68 meters long to the east, 46 meters wide to the northwest, and 18 meters high. The total construction area is 1,680 square meters. Netizens graciously called him “a big and powerful tortoise.” LIUZHOU Shuangyuhui Although the name of ShuangyuHui is derived from the meaning of the leap of the carp, the real appearance has been criticized by many people. This large and small staggered glass curtain wall exhibition hall cost 300 million yuan to build. It is the future exhibition area of Liuzhou. The key building covers an area of more than 40,000 square meters. Beijing Chang’an Jingya hotel The Hotel provides a ruined design method in the senses, creating a modern form of appreciation, but this method is not very fresh and ugly! Sanya NO.1 Bay.No. 1 Harbour City looks like a golden “big pineapple” and is located in the prime area of the core business district of Dadonghai. It is mainly composed of two major commercial sectors: an international shopping center and a five-star international resort hotel. A large-scale comprehensive shopping center integrating shopping, catering, culture, entertainment, leisure, tourism, business and other functions. Shanghai LV mansion Because its building looks exactly like boots, it is called the “boot building”, and the LV building has also attracted people’s attention. 31.Qingdao science&technology building.The residential building is located in Qingdao Science and Technology Street, Shandong Province. It is a highly concentrated area of computer technology, network technology and IT professionals in Qingdao, with a dense flow of people. Netizens complained: I never dared to go from here at night. I felt that the Qingdao Science and Technology Birds on the heads of five become scarecrows, with wicked smiles, hit their faces. Hubei energy flower The New Energy Building was invested and constructed by the Wuhan Municipal Government and is currently the largest green bionic building in China. Located in the Future Science and Technology City of Wuhan East Lake National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, it has a total construction area of 68,480 square meters and an overall height of 128 meters.

The main reason why the country built the crab culture museum here is mainly to promote the clear water hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake. Nanchang younger activity center,another building looks like a shoe. dushan shuisi building-the main reasons this building was listed is,the location of this building:dushan county,is one of the poorest areas in China,they invested much money on this meaningless building. ANHUI WUHU -the song of Changjiang River,ok,NO COMMENT! Zhangdaqian museum,Zhangdaqian is China famous painter,the museum built for him was quite strange and unique shape. guangxi new media center,OK,no comment as well. We have to admit that most buildings are unique and quite creative,but please do remember that unique shape is not the design core,combination of appearance,function,is the best idea when designing. Download this article here:2010-2019 Top 40 China Ugliest buildings-Part 2 #### 2021 Glass Curtain wall classification,component, features Glass Curtain Wall has been used in construction projects 150 years ago (the mid-19th century). Due to the limitations of materials and processing techniques at that time, the curtain wall could not achieve absolute water tightness, air tightness, and resistance to various natural external forces. Invasion (such as wind, earthquake, temperature), thermo-physical factors (heat radiation, condensation), sound insulation, fire prevention and other requirements have not been well developed and promoted. Today, curtain walls are not only widely used in the exterior walls of various buildings, but also in the interior walls of buildings with various functions, such as communication rooms, TV studios, airports (airports), large stations, stadiums, museums, cultural centers, and large buildings. Hotels, shopping malls, etc.Here we introduce the modern curtain wall classification,components and features.   FRAMELESS CURTAIN WALL The frameless curtain wall ,or all glass curtain wall is a kind of glass curtain wall with full transparency and full view. It uses the transparency of glass to pursue the circulation and integration of the space inside and outside the building, so that people can see through the glass. Clearly seeing the entire structural system of the glass makes the structural system change from a pure supporting role to its visibility, thus showing the artistic, layered and three-dimensional sense of architectural decoration. It has the characteristics of light weight, simple material selection, factory-oriented processing, quick construction, convenient maintenance and repair, and easy cleaning. Its effect on enriching the architectural modeling and facade effect is unmatched by other materials, and it is the embodiment of modern technology in architectural decoration. The surface glass can be single glass, insulated glass, and laminated glass and so on; normally the glass is tempered glass. Glass fin may adopt single tempered glass or laminated glass. This type of curtain wall contains Bottom stand Frameless Glass Curtain Wall and Top Hang Frameless Glass Curtain Wall. Bottom Stand glass curtain wall: The surface glass is fixed in the top and bottom glass slot. The glass dead load is sustained by the bottom slot. The surface glass can be four sides or two opposite sides supporting. When supported by the vertical two sides and the glass cannot meet the intensity or rigidity requirements, the vertical glass fin is needed. when the height of surface glass exceeds scope of the relevant standards and specification, we have to change the bottom sitting style to top hang style. Top Hang Glass curtain wall The surface glass top hangs to the bottom of the main structure beam above it，and the glass load pass to the main structure through hanging device. The horizontal wind load and other external loading are born by the vertical glass fin installed in the same manner. Usually, the surface glass is single glass and the fin glass can be single glass or laminated glass. The most features all glass curtain wall application is oversized laminated glass used in apple store ,the facade covers 11 pieces laminated glass panels ,each panels size is 15M*3M and weight almost 10Mt,for this size ,it’s impossible to stand the glass itself for glass weight reason,all these panels are hanged and create unique appearance. POINTED SUPPORTED CURTAIN WALL Each grid glass is fixed by point-connected steel parts, and the various loads and actions (wind load, earthquake action, temperature action, etc.) it bears are connected by point-connected steel parts and glass spiders is transmitted to the force supporting structure system, and then from the intermediate force supporting structure system to the main structure; the point-connected steel parts use spherical hinge bolts (freely rotatable), and the spherical hinge bolts The center of rotation is consistent with the center of gravity of the glass, which can eliminate the glass displacement caused by external forces (wind load, seismic action, temperature action, etc.). There are several forms such as “H” shape and “X” shape. The force supporting structure system supporting glass can be glass ribs, steel structures , or stainless steel pull bar, cables or hybrid structures. Therefore, the point-connected full curtain wall can be divided into glass rib point supported full-glass curtain wall, steel rod point-supported glass curtain wall, steel cable point fixed glass curtain wall, and mixed structure glass curtain wall. Same as frameless glass facade,glass used in point supported glass are usually 15,19mm toughened glass,or typically 21.52mm tempered laminated glass,the glass ribs,are 21.52mm,25.52mm and sometimes even thicker laminated glass to ensure facade safety. STICK CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM Stick curtain wall system,or framed curtain wall system, the mullion (or beam) of the component curtain wall is first installed on the main structure, and then the beam (or mullion) is installed. The mullion and the beam form a lattice, and the panel material (glass,aluminium panels) are fixed on the frame system with sealant or glue to prevent rainwater penetration and air penetration..The load of the panel material unit components must be transmitted to the main structure through the mullions (or beams). 　　The main features of framed curtain wall (1) Flexible construction methods and relatively mature technology. After more engineering practice tests, more curtain wall structures are currently used. (2) The main structure has strong adaptability, and the installation sequence is basically not affected by the main structure. (3) Good water tightness and air tightness, good heat preservation , sound insulation and noise reduction ability, and a certain degree of resistance to interlayer displacement . (4) The facade panels are made in the factory, and the performance of the structural adhesive is guaranteed. (5) A large number of installation procedures are carried out on-site, requiring a large workload of on-site management. (6) The sealant construction requirements are strict. The process of pre-cleaning and glueing requires high quality of workers; there are many control points for installation and glueing and many procedures. Stick glass curtain wall means that glass works as the external panel,according to the facade appearance,the stick curtain wall can be classified into framed curtain wall,semi framed curtain wall and hidden frame curtain wall. Typical glass panels used in stick curtain wall system are insulated glass with high performance low-E coatings to keep building thermal properties and reduce heating&cooling costs. Beside glass panels ,especially insulated glass panels,many other facade materials can be used in the stick curtain wall system,for example solid aluminium panels, ACP aluminium panels,Aluminium honeycomb aluminium panels,steel panels,stones,UHPC facade,GRC facade,terracotta panel curtain wall,and even PC panels can be used in stick curtain wall system. UNITIZED CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM The unitized curtain wall is composed of many independent units. The installation of all the panels and the sealing of the indirect seams of the panels are processed and assembled in the factory.After classification &number ,unitized curtain wall panels is transported to the construction site for hoisting&installation according to the engineering installation sequence, and the installation can be combined with the main structure (5-6 floors difference is enough). Its main features are: The processing and production of curtain wall units in the factory is easy to realize industrialized production, reducing labor costs, and controlling the quality of the units; a large number of processing and preparation work are completed in the factory, thus shortening the curtain wall site construction period and engineering construction period. The mosaic connection between the unit has a strong ability to adapt to the displacement of the main structure, and can effectively absorb earthquake effects, temperature changes, and inter-story displacement. The unit curtain wall is more suitable for super high-rise buildings and pure steel high-rise buildings. (3) Adhesive strips&gaskets are used to seal the joints, and weather-resistant glue is not used and is not affected by weather. (4) Strict construction organization and management are required, and there is a strict construction sequence during construction, and installation must be carried out in the order of insertion. There are strict restrictions on the placement of construction machinery such as vertical transportation equipment for the main construction, otherwise it will affect the installation of the entire project. Below video shows the installation of unitized curtain wall installation on site: DOUBLE SKIN CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM Double-skin curtain walls are also called dynamic ventilating, heat channel or breathing facade.Based on the optimized design and scientific configuration of system, the double-skin facade can improve the thermal performances of external envelope, interior ventilation, acoustic insulation, and interior lighting control. The thermal conductivity and shading characteristics of the double-Skin curtain wall can significantly reduce energy consumption in the building. By passively using light energy, the heat loss through the double-layer curtain wall in winter can be reduced by 30%, and the heat dissipation at night in summer can reduce the use of air conditioners, thereby reducing energy loss. If the night heat dissipation and louvers are used correctly, the indoor temperature can also be kept lower than the outdoor. The double sin curtain wall system can be classified into: Natural Ventilating (External Circulation) Double-skin Curtain Wall System Mechanical Ventilating (Internal Circulation) Double-Skin Curtain Wall System Mixed Ventilation (Internal / External Circulation) Double-skin Curtain Wall System Sealed Maintenance-Free Double Glazing Curtain Wall System The most typical double skin glass facade used in China is Shanghai tower,After optimization, under the typical working conditions of the transition season, more than 90% of the main functional rooms in the building have an average natural ventilation frequency of no less than 2 times per hour. Natural ventilation can be achieved during the spring and autumn transition seasons, even without air conditioning.With the double-layer curtain wall, the energy consumption for heating and cooling is about half lower than that of the single-layer curtain wall.Shanghai Tower got LEED certificate.

Extend: Using the right glass for your glass curtain wall THE BENEFIT OF DOUBLE GLAZED UNITS FOR CURTAIN WALL Download this article here:2021 Curtain wall classification,component, features #### 2023,I am Back! Dear readers,I am the site owner and GM of Morn Glass. Thanks for your interests and trust in our products and our website. Many readers got much useful from our site but found that the update in 2022 is quite slow and almost stopped.Let me explain: The posts on this website was edited by myself and each posts takes 1-2 hours to wrote,edit,and upload.I did took me much energy . I worked in glass industry for almost 10 years, and saw the fierce competition in China glass export industry. Traditional architectural glass ,the supply and requirement is very steady and hard to discover new opportunity in China, low profit,and fierce competition,it’s not just a export,but a financial game… You don’t know how specialized the China glass processing industry is, there’s some guys specialized in producing laminated sheets, 6.38mm and export up to 600 containers annually, while container profit is just USD300. 10mm tempered glass,one of my friend export 200 containers shower door glass to USA annually ,and payment after arrival,he need to have at least USD1 million cash flow to keep the business. Big trading companies ,what their profit don’t exist on glass itself,but they can get special discount on shipping fees as the quantity is huge. Some greenhouse glass and solar glass exporters,paid million dollars to prepare stock when raw materials is low and sell whenever price goes up… I cannot survive in these competition and was forced to find new selling points. In end of 2021,HaanGlas was established and focus on vacuum insulating glass. Different from normal insulating glass,vacuum glazing contains 0.15 or 0.3mm high vacuum space between 2 glass panels and realized much benefits: Thin,light,can replace historical windows directly without changing original windows. It realized 0.5W/M2.K incredible low thermal conductivity. It can withstand 90℃ temperature difference and no condensation. It has 20% better soundproof performance. There’re only few factories that can produce vacuum insulating glass,AGC,Pilkington,Landvac,Panasonic and HaanGlas will be the best one. In 2022,much work was finished this year: We built new website and wrote 46 posts on the new website. We applied and got SGCC /IGCC certificate and many test reports. We found several partners worldwide and exported over 7000pcs vacuum insulating glass. We built homepage on many social media,Youtube,Linkedin,tiktok,reddit ect. In one word,we are prepared for selling VIG in 2022. And in 2023, VIG times is coming. Meanwhile Mornglass keep focusing on traditional architectural glass . 2023 is coming, thanks for your always support and I will be back to update more useful info once I am free,even though the frequency will be low.

Joint venture between Omrania and HOK. | Photo: omrania.com A facade shouldn’t just dictate how a building looks, but how it works — especially in the harsh climate of Saudi Arabia. With every project, Omrania strives to design unique, high-performance building envelopes that are appropriate for their context. The envelope must be able to withstand the forces of the local environment and facilitate efficient maintenance. The following case studies illustrate how our work is shaped by what can be easily remembered as the “Four P’s” of successful envelope design: Performance (function and sustainability) Price (affordability) Prefabrication (ease of construction) Post-occupancy (durability and maintenance). Waha Office Building, Riyadh. The enclosure system enhances energy performance and provides visual privacy along with natural light and views. Photo © Hani Al-Sayed / Omrania Waha Office Building Although the diagonally louvered facade of Omrania’s headquarters, also known as the Waha Office Building, gives the building a distinct appearance, it was designed with energy performance in mind. The configuration of the screen reduces heat gain by deflecting the intense solar radiation typical of our climate. It was built using a locally produced polycarbonate that helped keep the project budget low thanks to its reasonable price, relatively simple fabrication, and low transportation costs. Between the louvered screen and the glass curtain wall, horizontal catwalks provide additional shading as well as easy access for maintenance. Kingdom Centre, Riyadh. The frameless, double-glazed curtain wall responds to the client’s request for a clean mirror-like elevation that reflects most of the sun’s energy. Photo © Ali Mubarak. Kingdom Centre The well-known Kingdom Centre, designed by Omrania in a joint venture with Ellerbe Becket, presents a uniquely curved, reflective, almost seamlessly smooth exterior that deflects the energy of the intense sunlight. In response to client demands for an unobstructed elevation, we developed our design using a frameless stick-type curtain wall fitted with a climate-appropriate double-glazing system. Ease of exterior cleaning and maintenance was also an important consideration. To facilitate facade maintenance operations, the Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) systems are stored in the tower’s service floors and analytically distributed to achieve a shortened cleaning cycle duration. Capital Market Authority Headquarters, Riyadh. The building envelope consists of insulated glazing overlaid with fins, catwalks, and perforated panels for shading and maintenance functions. Photo © Hani Al-Sayed / Omrania The Capital Market Authority (CMA) The 80-story CMA tower is currently the tallest building in Riyadh and the centerpiece of the KAFD’s financial plaza. Designed and built through a joint venture with HOK, the building tower features a high-performance solar-control system that mitigates solar radiation. An external system of fins, catwalks, and perforated panels work in concert to shade the building’s double-glazed curtain wall, thereby minimizing heat gain and internal cooling loads. Energy cost are further reduced by the photovoltaic system installed at the roof of the tower. Also located on the roof, and at intermediate service floors, are building maintenance unit (BMU) systems that work with the external catwalks to provide access for cleaning and maintenance. With its energy-efficient skin, photovoltaic system, and intelligent infrastructure, the CMA tower is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification. Radisson Blu Hotel and Residences, Diplomatic Quarter, Riyadh. Terracotta facade components combined in various ways are the key to this climatic facade. Photo © Meshal AlButhie The Radisson Blu Hotel Located in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, this project features a unique multi-layered facade shading system that reduces energy consumption and merges seamlessly with its physical and cultural context. The entire envelope is conceived as a screen, using a flexible system of durable terracotta panels as well as terracotta tubes — known as “baguettes” — that form a brise-soleil in front of the double-glazed curtain wall components. Both terracotta elements were lab-tested to ensure they were durable enough to withstand high UV levels, discoloration, and thermal shock. Designed specifically for the climate of Riyadh, the facade system works in concert with structural overhangs and terraced setbacks to provide shading, thermal insulation, and an effective rain barrier, while providing balcony access. The facade was also designed to facilitate maintenance and repair, with concealed aluminum supports that enable each individual panel or baguette to be removed and replaced independently. Arriyadh Metro Western Station, currently under construction.  Photo © omrania Arriyadh Metro Western Station. The complex geometry of the Arriyadh Metro Western Station presented a unique construction challenge that required an innovative solution — twice. The original design called for a cladding system of large, double-curved glass-reinforced concrete (GRC) panels that would be individually fabricated to create a seamless form. When the fabrication and transportation of the panels proved unwieldy, we initially resolved the problem by using a larger number of smaller panels. However, at a later stage, Omrania was asked to reduce the cost of the cladding system by relying on standardized panels as possible. After performing a thorough investigation involving analytical and synthetic studies along with parametric modeling and algorithmic solutions, we were able to redesign the panel shape and arrangement using a trapezoidal zigzag pattern instead of the original rectilinear staggered pattern. This allowed us to achieve the desired form and the permitted deviations with care to the edge treatment conditions, joint continuation along the cladding, and the soffit panel configuration. Taking into account the lower fabrication cost and simpler installation, this solution reduced the cost of the cladding by 75 percent. Designing an integrated envelope system that considers performance, price, prefabrication, and post-occupancy is not easy, but we believe it is necessary. And when it’s done well, a high-performing envelope can be as beautiful as any ornament.   #### 5 methods to make gradient glass Gradient glass,is part of privacy glass,applied in shower doors,conference rooms,glass partitions to protect users’ privacy,the gradient glass also decorate your office or house,here we introduce 5 methods to produce gradient glass,their advantages and disadvantages during production.including silk screen,digitally printed glass,UV printed glass,PET film EVA laminated glass,and gradient films. gradient glass-glass show-China Morn Silk screen glass For most glass factories, silk screen glass can only print dots or small squares from bigger to smaller ones to create the gradient effect. silk screen-gradient effect with dots Advantage: A.Low costs, compared with normal clear tempered glass,the extra costs is just USD6-8/SQM silk screen fees. B.Easy production,silk screen,or ceramic fritproduction is easy. C.Monolithic glass can be applied both interiors and exteriors,the screen dots is combined with glass permanently on glass,no fading,the inks and prints are same lifetime as glass itself. The printed dots or squares are not big enough,small printing coverage cannot protect the privacy very well,there’s still large transparent areas. MORN with with hundreds glass manufacturers in China ,luckily we create a new method to produce the pure gradient glass with silk screen process,the silk screen gradient glass now is the perfect low costs option for customers ,meanwhile we can custom any design based on customer’s requirement. silk screen gradient glass–China Morn Digitally printed glass Digitally printing glass is new technology,the world famous machine brands-Dip-tech from Israel offer unlimited glass imaginations for world architects and designers. Beside Dip-tech,many China machine manufacturers also developed similar function high temperature printing solutions,glass factories can print whatever patterns they want on glass surface to make achieve the unique glass appearance. DIPTECH-DIGITAL-PRINTING-LINE-Morn Gradient glass produced with digital printing machine is much better than silk screen process.but it has many disadvantages: A.Low production efficiency. Because of the limitation of machine,the daily output of digitally printed glass is 100-200 sqm per day. B.High cost.As the huge machine investment and low production efficiency,unit price of digitally printed glass is several times higher than that of silk screen glass.Unit printing costs is USD30-50/SQM. gradient glass made with digitally printed line   Morn don’t suggest to use digitally printed glass for your gradient glass requirement,instead if complex patterns of images are wanted on glass,digitally printing is perfect. Gradient PET laminated glass Gradient laminated glass now is the most popular and most widely used glass in the market now.It’s a kind of EVA laminated glass with a gradient PET film laminated inside. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/PET-Film-with-patterns-for-laminated-glass.mp4 The gradient effect is achieved by the PET films,during the laminating process,EVA film is melt and combine the PET film with glass. Advantages: A.Mature technology. EVA ,PVB,SGP laminated glass are currently 3 main laminated glass types,the EVA laminated glass production technology is quite mature ,quality can be ensured. B.Compared with monolithic glass,laminated glass safety is much higher,it can also block UV and prevent furniture,cloth fading after years lighting. Disadvantages: A.High price,compared with monolithic glass,laminated glass price is always 2-3 times that of monolithic gradient glass. B.The glass can only been used interiors.EVA interlayerhas high fluidity,once the temperature increase,EVA film will be melt,bonding strength will decrease significantly.Even though EVA film that is suitable for outdoor application is developed,its performance is still far away from PVB interlayer. eva laminated glass production-MORN C.Limited specifications.The gradient sizes and regulations are fixed,customers cannot customize their unique patterns if the quantity is small. 4.UV printed glass Different from high temperature digitally printed glass ,UV printed glass is low temperature digitally printing on glass.The printing process must be on post tempered glass. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/UV-printing-on-glass.mp4 The costs is much lower than digitally printed glass, printing effect is quite excellent and sometimes even better ,but as it’s low temperature,the color will fade with time,and cannot be used in outdoors.Meanwhile,as the color fastness is bad,it’s suggested to make the UV printed glass into laminated glass,thus overall costs is even higher than digitally printed glass. The UV printed glass is only recommended in interior decoration. Gradient film. If you want to change already installed clear glass to have gradient effect,while replacing them is quite risky and expensive,gradient film is perfect and most simple option for you. The gradient film can be stick directly on glass surface without replacing the glass. gradient film color options-Morn The PET film thickness varies from 0.3um to 2mm,customers has many options to select,whether it’s pure white ,translucent,the patterns are also flexible and customers can decide whatever patterns they want.Once the film is no longer useful,people can easily remove it and change to another pattern. One more advantage of the film is,the company or shop logo can be engraved on the film and build reputation,the easy DIY installation also makes it preferred by most users. Below video shows how easy to install the film. The lifetime of the film are only 2-3 years,so customers will have to replace them..   With above introduction,the pro and inferiors of above 5 methods we can get below conclusion: Silk screen gradient glass has the best price and cost performance for both exterior and interior application. Gradient PET film EVA laminated glass is recommended for high safety interior applications. Digitally printed glass and UV printed glass are not suggested to produce gradient glass,if customers has complex color and pattern requirements, digitally printed glass can be used in outdoor application and UV printed laminated glass for interior decoration propose. Gradient PET films stick directly on glass is the perfect solution to change your glass style. gradient glass doors to protect privacy Morn offer complete gradient glass solution for our customers,we manufacture and supply all kinds of gradient glass for your shower door,glass partition,and even facade glass requirement.Share with us your glass requirement,your budget,we’ll help confirming the best solution for you. #### 6 difference between clear glass and low iron glass Low iron glass is a kind of ultra-transparent low-iron glass, also known as ultra clear glass. It is a high-quality, multi-functional new type of high-grade glass, with a light transmittance of more than 91.5%, and it is crystal clear, High and elegant characteristics, it is known as the “Crystal Prince” of the glass family.Low iron glass has all the machinable properties of high-quality float glass, has superior physical, mechanical and optical properties, and can be subjected to various deep processing like other high-quality float glass.,but what’s the difference between normal glass and low iron glass? 6 difference between low iron glass and clear glass. low iron glass-ultra clear glass-morn-china Low iron glass has much lower glass self explosion ratio. As we know,the Nis inside glass will cause glass spontaneous breakage.The glass contains nickel sulfide crystals. NiS (nickel sulfide) has a phase transition process at 379 ° C. When the high-temperature α-NiS crystal system is changed to the low-temperature β-NiS crystal system, the volume expands by 2% to 4%. And the surface is rough. If these impurities are in the tensile stress zone of the tempered glass, volume expansion may cause spontaneous bursting. Glass deep processing enterprises will have heat soak test on after the tempering process, effectively reducing the probability of self-explosion. The Nickle mainly exist in the glass raw materials,and the float glass production lines, low iron glass raw materials source are quite different from the normal clear glass with much stricter requirement,the raw materials are more pure,which will decrease the tempered glass spontaneous breakage ratio,which can even compete with the heat soaked tempered glass breakage ratio, 3‰ is believed to be a reasonable rate. Minor edge damage during glass handling,scratch or nick during installation,design flaw, or a natural imperfection result in glass spontaneous breakage. Low iron glass has much pure color. Normal clear glass color is slightly green,especially thick glass panel,15mm,19mm,the green color is more obvious,it’s caused by the iron content of the raw materials.Since the iron content in the raw material is only 1/10 or even lower than that of clear glass, low iron glass has less absorption of the green band of visible light than ordinary glass, ensuring the pure and light glass color. low iron glass VS clear glass-morn-china Low iron glass has higher light transmittance & solar coefficient. Low iron glass allows much higher light transmittance and allows more solar energy transmitted the glass,that’s the reason,greenhouse,solar panels,photovoltaic panels, and museum glass prefer low iron glass to get more solar energy and more clear appearance .

Download this article here:6 difference between clear glass and low iron glass #### 6 factors affect the vacuum insulating glass quality 6 factors affect the vacuum insulating glass quality Vacuum insulating glass,is becoming the new trend for building envelope.Architect and designers like this low thermal transmittance,high sound acoustic performance,and thin energy efficient glass product for their newest brilliant projects. Recent years,more and more factories invested in vacuum insulating glass production and claim to have the highest quality,but how to judge the quality of vacuum insulating glass? This posts will analysis the factors affecting vacuum insulating glass quality to help you selecting the best VIG products. Factors affect vacuum insulating glass quality Vacuum degree. The thermal insulation performance is decided by the the vacuum degree and the low-E coatings. For most glass factories, double silver low-E is widely used with similar emissivity, then vacuum degree becomes the deciding factor affecting the final vacuum glass U value. Each factory develop their own vacuum glass production lines while the vacuum degree is different. Simulation based on Window 7.5 shows VIG U value is 1.13w/m2.k  with 10-2Pa, 0.51W/m2.k with 10-3Pa and 0.44 with 10-4Pa.That’s the reason why many manufacturers manage to produce VIG with 0.4W/m2.k and some others 0.7W/m2.k,sometimes the vacuum degree is unstable which cause unstable U value even though it’s produced in the same line. HaanGlas vacuum insulating glass production line HaanGlas produce the vacuum insulating glass at 10-4 high vacuum degree and our 10.3mm VIG with double silver low-E steady state U value test result is 0.47W/M2.K. Tempered vacuum glass or annealed glass? Since its innovation in 1993,vacuum glass production technology developed very slow and had almost all glass were anneal vacuum glass,It’s limited by the edge sealing technology.Till now,many international brands still produce anneal VIG ,which has limited application . Tempered vacuum glass has 3-5 times higher strength than normal float VIG.Its mechanical strength ,impact resistance ,and wind resistance enable the architects to apply them on more industry,especially glass facade,greenhouse glass, BIPV ,and replace triple glazing glass used in passive houses,etc. Different from others,HaanGlas not only produce fully tempered vacuum insulated glass,but also has minimum thickness 6.3mm.To cooperate the large area glass facade requirement,our recommended Max size for different vacuum glass thickness are below: 3+0.3V+3 tempered vacuum glass: 1000 *1500mm 4+0.3V+4 tempered vacuum glass: 1500*2500mm 5+0.3V+5 tempered vacuum glass: 1700*3200mm tempered galss breakage status Edge sealing technology. Edge sealing technology for vacuum insulating glass can be classified into 2 types: Glass powder solders and low temperature metal edge sealing. Sealing with glass solders is the earliest and most traditional edge sealing technology,it’s now used by most vacuum glass manufacturers worldwide.The disadvantage of this technology is,during sealing process,the solder must be heated to combine 2 pieces glass,which will affect the already tempered glass to anneal again,glass edge strength will decrease by 15-25%. To solver this problem,many manufacturers will temper the glass in high compression status,then after sealing,the edge compression will decrease to normal level. But this won’t solve the problem- uneven glass strength,the uneven glass strength will cause high glass breakage ratio. Another edge sealing technology is low temperature edge sealing.It’s sealed by low temperature metal materials,typical manufacturers are Land glass and HaanGlas.After several years market promotion and projects all over the world,Landvac has proved the high quality of metal edge sealing technology. Same as Landvac,HaanGlas vacuum insulating glass is also sealed with low temperature metal edge sealing technology under 250℃，the low temperature keep even glass strength and ensure low spontaneous breakage ratio. vacuum glass structure-HaanGlas Glass-China manufacturer Even glass strength. Despite above mentioned glass edge sealing technology affect the overall glass even strength,other notches or holes on glass also affect glass strength as well. Some manufacturers products has evacuation holes to eliminate the air inside the vacuum space,then seal the hole.Some products even place the evacuation holes at glass edge,whether it’s holes or notches,will cause concentrated strength at the holes and cause higher breakage ratio after installation. VIG with evacuation holes Another factor affecting the strength is the micro supporting pillars,the misplacing or duplicated pillars will increase the contact area between glass and the pillars,so glass will has high breakage ratio if the pressure on certain pillars,especially when the pillar is in Cylindrical shape. HaanGlas eliminated these factors affect glass quality: HaanGlas vacuum glass has no evacuation holes as the edge sealing is finished in the high vacuum condition, edge sealing and vacuum process is finished in the same time,while others need to seal glass first and then make it vacuum space. HaanGlas vacuum insulatingglass-no evacuation hole design Micro supporting pillars,Each HaanGlas supporting pillars consist 3-5 round balls with even smaller dimension and smaller contact area with the glass. Micro support pillars in HaanGlas VIG Glass lifetime. Glass lifetime is decided by the edge sealing performance,and the gutter to absorb moisture penetrate into the glass after years. Some manufacturers make it stripe shape along the glass edge and some others make it round shape. 1.Based on same quantity,round ones has smaller area than stripe ones. 2.Whether it’s round or strips,processors has to have groovs on glass surface,the bigger groove,the higher spontaneous breakage ratio during tempering. 3.Each factory has its technology and production method,just depend on whether customers like it or not.. Gutter is embeded inside the VIG,glass surface is flat HaanGlas vacuum insulating glass use 12mm gutters to absorb the moisture and prolong the lifetime of VIG to 25years and even longer,after 25 years,the vacuum degree may degree and slight dew points may appear,this won’t affect the overall thermal and acoustic performance.Beside that ,HaanGlas offer 15 years warranty. Customer friendly. The most widely used low-E coatings in VIG products are high transparency 1.16 coating,when applied in 6-16AR-6 insulated glass,glass U value reach 1.16W/M2.K.But the most important is its high light transmittance.

It is more and more widely used in construction. According to the manufacturing process, Low-E glass is mainly divided into “offline” and “online”. Pyrolytic low-E: also named hard coated low-e, online low-E. Sputtered low-E: also named as soft coated low-E, off-line low-E. low-E coated insulated glass-China morn-glass supply So what characteristics do different production methods bring to the application of products? As how architects,designers judge their cost performance?Here we analysis the 8 difference. Different production method. Pyrolytic Low-E glass is produced in float glass production line to form a layer of low-radiation functional film on the surface of the glass through chemical vapor deposition process and special materials. Its film material is semiconductor oxide with only a few varieties such as cold gray and transparent. Expand: Hard coated low-E options in China. Sputtered Low-E glass adopts special vacuum magnetron sputtering coating equipment and process technology to coat a multilayer composite film to realize the Low-E function. The main functional film layer is silver (Ag), and other metal and compound film layers are auxiliary film layers, which can strengthen the adhesion between the layers, adjust the reflection color, and control the light transmittance and reflectance. , Protect the Low-E film from scratches and corrosion. Different energy saving performance Off-line low-E has emissivity varies from 0.03 to 0.12.Shading coefficient has a larger control range. It can be as low as 0.2 to more effectively block the solar heat radiation, or as high as 0.7 to collect more solar heat energy, which is suitable for different climate.In addition, offline Low-E also has a lower U value and better thermal insulation performance. In comparison,hard coated low-E has around 0.15 emissivity. it is difficult to reduce the Sc value to below 0.4. its heat transfer coefficient U value is also higher, so the overall energy saving effect is slightly worse. Different processing ability. Online Low-E glass can be directly tempered, heat-strengthened, and hot-bent, and can be used as single glazing or double glazing; while offline Low-E glass is generally made into insulating glass after removing glass edge coatings. Different types and appearance. The color of hard coated low-e are mostly gray and colorless. If other colors are needed, it needs to be coated on body tinted glass. Offline Low-E glass controls the optical performance by adjusting the material and thickness of each film layer. Therefore, the product variety is rich and diverse. A variety of color series such as silver, gray, blue, green, brown, gold and transparent coatings can be achieved on clear glass substrate.Combined with body tinted glass substrate,more colors are available. MORN-double silver low-E coatings in China Different electromagnetic shielding performance. Low-E glass has the function of electromagnetic shielding, which can shield electromagnetic waves, prevent information leakage and improve information security. The shielding effectiveness of offline single-layer Low-E glass is generally 19-28dB; while for online Low-E glass products, it is between 15-20dB. Hard coated low-E produced by Shandong Hualiang glass can have different square resistance from 6-8Ω to 260-320Ω.Check the performance:Hard coated low-E technical performance        6.Different application. Online Low-E glass is mainly used in residential buildings, refrigerators.offline Low-E glass is used in high-end buildings such as public buildings and commercial buildings for its wide variety of colors and excellent energy-saving effects. hard coated low-E application in refrigators   7.Different durability and lifetime The online Low-E glass uses tin dioxide semiconductor film, which has very good chemical stability, whether it is used in single glazing or double glass units, the coating performance can be guaranteed never attenuation. Traditional offline Low-E glass uses metallic silver to block infrared radiation. However, if the silver layer exposed in the air, the coating emissivity will increase significantly. A new product-offline silver-free Low-E glass, its functional layer blocking infrared radiation is a semiconductor compound, the film is corrosion-resistant and scratch-resistant, so the glass can be used monolithic or laminated glass. soft coated low-E application in houses  8.Glass price. Online low-E price is similar to single silver off-line lowe coating,but is much lower than double and triple silver low-E coating. Morn work with AGC,Jinjing,SYP glass to offer hard coated low-E,and various offline coating manufacturers to suite different project requirement,we’re leading coated glass manufacturer and supplier in China,welcome contact us for your next great buildings.

How can we clean and maintain the glass shower door better and more effectively? Reasons that cause glass dirty The scale occurs because the water attached on the glass precipitate calcium sulfate, sodium bicarbonate and other minerals that are difficult to dissolve during the evaporation process. Incrustation and scale is an alkaline substance and can be washed away with toilet cleaner or vinegar. In addition to scale on the bathroom glass, there will be neutral detergent residues and grease, which will be more difficult to clean after a long time. Methods to clean glass shower door If there is yellow scale on the glass door, spray it with a special detergent at this time, and then take a dry cotton cloth and wipe it lightly to remove the stain without any effort. However, the cleaning agent contains chemical substances and is corrosive, so if the pendants on the glass door are hardware, special attention should be paid to avoid spraying on it. If it is the scale formed after a long time, it will be more difficult to remove. Therefore, to deal with this stubborn dirt, you can make a homemade cleaning agent, which is to mix vinegar and salt, and then you can wipe the glass door. This method is effective in pro-test. Alcohol+Waste newspapers that are not usually used at home can also be used. Because newspapers are printed with ink, the ink has the ability to absorb dirt and can be easily removed by wiping back and forth on the glass door. For those who usually clean up,you can go to the supermarket to buy a glass scraper, because it has various lengths to choose from, it is more convenient, and the use time is particularly long, in the long run, it is relatively economical. The toilet cleaner commonly used for cleaning toilets is also a ready-made tool, but it needs to be reminded that because it is relatively corrosive, it is best to wear gloves when cleaning. After scrubbing with the toilet cleaner, remember to rinse with clean water to avoid The smell is too big. The toothpaste we usually use for brushing always has a little left in the tube. At this time, cut the end of the tube with scissors to use the remaining toothpaste. After applying the toothpaste on the glass, sprinkle it with water and clean it with a cotton cloth. Then don’t forget to rinse again with warm water! If you still cannot remove the dirty on glass,here we got 3 special tools to remove your troubles absolutely: Emery sponge. Sprinkle water on the glass first,Dip the small sponge in water,Then just wipe the glass, you can feel it as soon as you wipe your hands. You don’t need to use force. Like nano-sponge, make a circle on the glass, and feel that the glass under the sponge has the original salsa feel, and then it gradually becomes smooth and there is no resistance. It can be seen that the spots quickly flattened and disappeared, leaving a white piece on the glass. Wipe it with a rag, and the glass will be translucent and bright.And there are no scratches, better than steel balls. High speed power cleaner It’s a handheld small machine with series accessories that applied on the cleaning of different material surface,such as diamond,kitchen wares,ceramic tiles,walls,and even auto. Don’t underestimate this motor. Driven by a lithium battery, it can achieve 2200 revolutions per minute   Self-cleaning treatment EnduroShield® for Glass is an optically clear protective coating that chemically bonds to the surface, creating a non-stick barrier resistant to corrosion, etching, and staining. However, while cleaning is made easier and less frequent, the need to clean is not eliminated. Treated glass becomes both hydrophobic and oleophobic (water and oil repellent) protecting against most forms of dirt, minerals and grime. enduro shield self cleaning treatment self-cleaning-glass-manufacturer-MORN-BM With this treatment,the glass surface will not get water and scale never happens,the warranty time is 10 years,and you can easily get rid of the troubles cleaning your glass.learn more about enduro shield.People can also considering self-cleaning glass shower door when replacing their shower door panels. The shower room needs to be cleaned daily. Spray water on the glass surface, wipe it with a rag, either wet or dry, so that the glass in the shower room can be kept beautiful for a long time.   If you want to extend the lifetime of the shower room glass, in addition to understanding how to clean the shower room glass, you must also understand the maintenance methods of the shower room glass. First, do not use corrosive cleaners to clean the shower room glass. Hot water over 100 degrees and corrosive water may damage the shower room glass; Second, if there are scratches on the shower room glass, you can use 1500# water scrubbing paper to gently wipe the scratches until the scratches are smooth, and then apply a small amount of toothpaste on the soft cloth to successfully clear the scratches. The above methods can not only used to clean glass shower doors,but also can be used on glass tables,Kitchen glass,glass windows&doors,and many others areas where glass are used.

PVDF coated aluminum veneers are used in exterior curtain wall. Perforated-aluminium-plate-anufacturer-morn Features of PVDF coated aluminum panel: 1. Light weight, good rigidity and high strength. The 3.0mm thick aluminum plate weighs 8kg per square and tensile strength of 100-280n/mm2. 2. The board has good weather resistance and corrosion resistance. The pvdf paint based on kynar-500 and hylur500 can make the surface of the aluminum veneer not fade for 50 years. 3. Good processing performance. With the first processing and painting process, the aluminum plate can be processed into various complex geometries such as plane, arc and spherical. 4, the board coating is uniform, the color is diverse. The advanced electrostatic spraying technology makes the paint and the aluminum plate adhere to each other evenly, with various colors and large selection space. 5, aluminum veneer is not easy to stain, easy to clean and maintain. The non-adhesive nature of the fluorine coating film makes it difficult to adhere to the surface and has good self-cleaning properties. 6. Installation is convenient and fast. The aluminum plate is formed at the factory, and the construction site does not need to be cut and fixed on the skeleton. 7. The aluminum plate can be recycled and reused, which is beneficial to the environment. The aluminum plate can be 100% recycled, which is different from the decorative materials such as glass, stone, ceramics and aluminum-plastic board.

Download this article here:Advantage-of-PVDF-aluminium-veneer-plate #### Advantage of vacuum glass Advantage of vacuum glass Vacuum glass as a new generation of energy-efficient glass, vacuum glass has heat transfer performance advantages,the glass takes advantage of the low thermal conductivity of air. In terms of heat transfer,the thermal conductivity of the air or filled argon has small thermal conductivity. Insulated glass dominates gas heat transfer, so that the effect of improving LOW-E glass performance to reduce radiant heat is not obvious. Insulated glass made of the best LOW-E glass (such as emissivity ≤ 0.1) is filled with argon. The U value can only be made to about 1.1/Wm2K. Only the vacuum state can eliminate the heat transfer of the gas, so that the advantages of LOW-E glass can be fully utilized. Vacuum-glass-windows 1.1 Comparison of heat transfer between vacuum glass and insulated glass In principle, vacuum glass can be likened to a flat-shaped thermos flask. The same point as the vacuum flask is that the interlayer of the two layers of glass is a vacuum with a pressure lower than 10-1 Pa, so that the heat transfer of the gas is negligible; both inner walls are It is plated with a low-emissivity coating to minimize radiation heat transfer. The difference between the two: First, the vacuum glass used for doors and windows must be transparent or light-transmissive, can not be coated with opaque silver film like a thermos bottle, plated with different types of transparent low-radiation film; second, from the cylinder with balanced pressure resistance Or the spherical thermos becomes a flat plate, and a “support” square must be placed between the two layers of glass to withstand an atmospheric pressure of about 10 tons per square meter to keep the gap between the glass to form a vacuum layer. The “support” square array spacing is designed according to the thickness of the glass plate and the relevant mechanical parameters, between 20mm-40mm. In order to reduce the heat transfer formed by the “heat bridge” of the support and make it difficult for the human eye to distinguish the existence of the support, the diameter of the support is small, and the diameter of the support in the current product is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm, and the height is 0.1. Between -0.2mm. LOW-E-INSULATED-GLASS   2.1. Due to high thermal resistance, anti-condensation and frosting performance is better 2.2 Since the interval is a vacuum, it has the following advantages: (1) Good sound insulation performance, especially low-frequency sound insulation performance is superior to insulated glass composed of the same thickness of glass (2) There is no internal fog condensation problem in the presence of insulated glass (3) There is no problem of gas thermal conductivity change when the insulated glass is placed horizontally (4) There is no problem of bursting of hollow glass transported to low altitude areas of the plateau 2.3 Since the two sheets of glass form a rigid joint, the wind pressure resistance is higher than that of the glass of the same thickness. For example, a vacuum glass made of 4mm glass has a wind pressure resistance higher than 8mm thick glass, which is more than one and a half times that of insulated glass made of 4mm glass. Vacuum-glass-windows-save-profile 2.4 The thickness is only half that of the insulated glass, which not only saves the window frame material, but also can be combined into a “sandwich vacuum”, “vacuum + insulated” and “self-cleaning vacuum” as a piece of glass combined with other glass deep processing technologies. “Combined vacuum glass”. This compatibility with other deep processing technologies not only promotes the development of other technologies, but also compensates for the inadequacies of vacuum glass. For example, it is not currently possible to manufacture tempered vacuum glass, but a combination of techniques can be used to solve the safety problem. insulated-glass-thickness Vacuum-glass-thickness The above advantages of vacuum glass give it a comprehensive performance advantage. 3. Performance characteristics of safety vacuum glass In addition to meeting safety requirements, safety vacuum glass has the following performance characteristics. (1) Thermal properties (2) Sound insulation performance (3) Water resistance and UV resistance (4) Combine new features 4. The application prospect of vacuum glass on the curtain wall The application of vacuum glass on the curtain wall is still in its infancy, and there are still many problems to be solved. However, we cannot ignore the huge potential of vacuum glass in the field of glass curtain walls. For glass materials, the thermal insulation performance of vacuum glass is currently in a leading position. With the development of technology, in the near future, we can use LOW-E glass with lower emissivity and also make the thermal conductivity of the vacuum glass support smaller. After calculation, if we use LOW-E glass with an emissivity of 0.05 and reduce the thermal conductivity of the existing support by half on the existing basis, the U value of the standard vacuum glass can be less than 0.5W/m2K; Two LOW-E glasses with an emissivity of 0.05 and a white glass made of double vacuum glass have a U value of less than 0.3W/M2.K and a thickness of less than 10 mm. the advantage of vacuum glass is its extremely low U value and thermal insulation performance. Morn is your turnkey china vacuum glass supplier,we’ll soon expand our business category to vacuum glass.

Glass spacers play an important role in a window’s overall performance,especially the thermal conductivity and thermal insulation performance, as they determine the amount of heat and cold that is able to pass through a window. The 2 or 3 lites of glass panels in insulated glass are held apart by spacers.The quality of the materials used to produce spacers, their longevity, flexibility and thermal properties are critical. WARM EDGE SPACER ADVANTAGE-INSULATED GLASS   Good spacer should have 4 important roles:  Absorb stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction  Block moisture and water vapor that can fog glass  Create a tight seal that prevents leakage of special gas fills  Increase the temperature of the edges of the insulated glass – this can help reduce condensation and increase overall energy efficiency of the window Traditional double-glazed windows used metal spacer, typically aluminum. Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat. During winter it conducts cold and makes the edges of the glass even colder. This decreases overall U-Factor of the window making it less energy efficient. In addition to the increased heat loss, the colder edge is easy to cause condensation. Aluminum spacer is usually square-shaped. This inflexible shape is typically a major reason for seal failures . Warm edge spacer is new products that has low thermal conductivity,the advantage of warm edge spacer used in insulated glass and windows are: Reduces Sealant Stress Super Spacer’s thermoset polymer material expands and contracts and always returns to its original shape. Super Spacer sealed IG units last up to five times longer in durability tests than conventional single seal units. Good spacer should have 4 important roles: Absorb stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction Block moisture prevents leakage of special gas fills Improves Heat Flow Resistance The all-foam formula blocks heat transfer and provides one of the best thermal performances available. Super Spacer resists heat flow 950 times more than that of aluminum. This means lower energy costs, less condensation/frosting and reduced chances for mold growth. Good spacer should have 4 important roles: Absorb stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction Block moisture prevents leakage of special gas fills   Improves Glass Surface Temperature Super Spacer’s extremely low thermal conductivity means less variation in the surface temperature of the insulated glass unit. Super Spacer units withstand 140°F/60°C temperatures, 95-100% humidity and constant UV bombardment in the world’s toughest durability test – The P-1 chamber. GLASS SURFACE TEMERATURE   Improves Sound Absorption The closed-cell polymer foam in Super Spacer transmits very little sound compared to conventional aluminum spacers. Acoustical laminated glass, Super Spacer and varying thicknesses of glass are recommended wherever noise from airplanes, trains or automobiles are a concern. SOUND ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE   Improves Condensation Resistance Mold needs moisture to grow. Moisture can increase the likelihood of fungi, viruses and mites that can cause infections, allergies and asthma. The significantly reduced interior condensation or frosting means that the health problems associated with mold may be virtually eliminated.

Door and window made by aluminium alloy has poor heat insulation performance .The thermal break aluminum is disconnected from the middle of the aluminum alloy. It uses nylon or PVC to connect the broken aluminum alloy. We know that the heat conduction of the nylon or PVC is obviously slower than that of the metal, so the heat is not easy to pass through the whole material. The thermal insulation performance is also improved. Aluminium alloy profiles-thermal break-morn   The advantage of thermal break aluminium profile is: 1.Thermal break aluminum doors and windows have good thermal insulation. The inner and outer frames of the heat-insulating profile are softly combined, the frame is made of a rubber strip, and the double-hair strip is sealed.Airtight, watertight performance, excellent thermal insulation performance;In addition to insulated glass , which makes the window truly sound insulation, heat insulation, heat preservation, excellent function, saves a lot of mining and cooling costs, heat transfer coefficient U value Detecting 2.23-2.94w/2K or less, the energy saving effect is remarkable 2.Waterproof function of thermal break aluminum doors and windows.

There’re many more advantages compared with PVC windows. PVC windows-awing windows supplier-morn 1.Fire resistant performance Aluminium is non combustible materials,it can withstand high temperature which can provide more protection in case of fire. Here is a video showing the difference when fire happened,thanks “Ventanas y Puertas de Aluminio” shared the video on Youtube. 2.No toxic emissions in case of fire,while PVC windows will emiss,benzene,ethanol,ethylene,formaldehyde,ethane,methane,sulfur dioxide etc that may harm people. 3.Durability PVDF coated aluminium windows will last 20 years or longer without fading,mill finish aluminium windows will last maybe over 100 years. Aluminium is widely used in windows and many more industry,such as cars,trains,auto,pans etc. While PVC windows need steel liner to keep the long lifetime. 4.Sustainable and recyclable Aluminium is the most abundant element in the earth,90% aluminium can be recycled and remake other aluminium products. While PVC is made from oil,which is not sustainable absolute and many standards doesn’t allow recycled PVC profiles. 5.Safety &versatility Aluminum allows all kinds of shapes and can be adopt the most desired design,meanwhile offering higher security for the good hardness and strength. 6063 aluminium sliding door supplier-morn   Morn is your turnkey aluminium profile supplier,we supply all kinds of mill finished aluminium,anodized aluminium,powder coated aluminium and PVDF coated aluminium profile,variety of colors and surface treatment.

Karen Davies, Secretary General of the National Glass Container Manufacturers Association, said the current situation was critical. Since the prevalence of arrogance, the glass industry has been trying to meet the needs of enterprises; At present, the problems encountered in the supply of raw materials for glass furnaces and the packaging of food and beverage brands are deteriorating. More than 8000 Spanish food companies using glass containers will face serious difficulties The representative of anfevi said, “in addition to the problems caused to the glass industry itself, more than 8000 Spanish food companies using glass containers will face serious transportation difficulties in exporting products and sending them to distributors, hotels or catering departments.” Since the war in Ukraine, the price of energy (mainly natural gas) has doubled; If it used to account for 20% to 30% of the production cost, it has now risen to 68.40% and 78.16%. He added that the current critical situation also endangers the prosperity and future of this 100% recyclable material. The carrier strike disrupted the recycling chain and reduced the supply of recycled glass. Recycled glass is not only the main raw material of the industry, but also an element that helps to reduce energy consumption. In addition, the shortage of glass packaging may lead some market segments to shift packaging materials to less environmentally friendly or non recyclable packaging materials, Davies said. #### Anti reflective glass Anti reflective coated glass,which means there’s a anti reflective coating on glass surface which can decrease the glass light reflectance,taking advantage of this new glass product,the direct solar transmittance can be decreased and widely used in glass greenhouse.While the decreased light transmittance also brings more clear appearance to some special application,such as shopping front,museum,showing cabinet etc. In the past years,the glass used in museum,shopping front are low iron glass,compared with normal clear glass,low iron glass don’t have green appearance ,but both clear glass and low iron glass has about 8% light reflectance,caused some problem,especially in Museum,the visitors cannot see the historical relic very clearly,and when taking pictures of the relics, the high light reflectance also caused visual distortion. The anti reflective glass main manufacturers are Taiwan Glass,Jinjing Glass,CSG glass in China,it’s produced with magnetron sputtering technology The anti reflective glass main manufacturers are Taiwan Glass,Jinjing Glass,CSG glass in China,similar as low-E coated glass,it’s produced with magnetron sputtering technology ,combining with low iron glass,the glass light transmittance will increase about 4-5% and light reflectance can be decreased to only 1%,here is a performance compare between normal laminated glass and low iron anti reflective laminated glass. The anti reflective glass main manufacturers are Taiwan Glass,Jinjing Glass,CSG glass in China,it’s produced with magnetron sputtering technology   The conclusion is: if single piece anti reflective coating used in the laminated glass,the light transmittance and reflectance don’t decrease much,but if 2 pieces anti reflective glass, the reflectance will be decreased to only 1%,and light transmittance is 98%,it will be very difficult to note the glass existing . The anti reflective glass main manufacturers are Taiwan Glass,Jinjing Glass,CSG glass in China,it’s produced with magnetron sputtering technology   Now anti reflective low iron laminated glass has widely used in exhibition industry,museum,showing cabinet,shop front,picture frame,glass facade and screen protection .Combining with other glass processing technology,such as tempering ,laminating,anti blasting coating,the anti reflective glass is becoming more and more popular,offering more security &protective functions .

Architectural tempered glass, in UK people call it toughened glass,now is widely used in people daily life.It can be used in your shower rooms,glass railings,glass balcony,glass pool fence,glass greenhouses,glass table tops etc.Here is our ultimate guide for tempered glass and 8 FAQ about tempered glass. tempered glass-china morn glass-manufacturer 1.What’s Tempered glass? Tempered glass belongs to safety glass.It’s produced with tempering glass furnace.The glass will be heated into 670 -720 degrees in the tempering furnace first and cooling down the glass quickly with cool wind.The heating &cooling process temperature and time used for different thickness glass are different,but the aim is to form a compressive stress on glass surface. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/How-tempered-glass-is-made.mp4 When the glass is subject to external force,the surface stress is been counteract first to improve the bearing capability and enhance the glass strength. Tempered glass has high strength and will break into small particles once broken and avoid potential injury to people.       Tempered glass compressive strss &tension stress How strong a tempered glass is? The tempered glass strength is 3-5 times higher than normal float glass,and international glass standards,BS EN12150,ASTM C1048,AS/NZS2208 have similar impact test requirement against tempered glass to test the glass strength and evaluate the tempered glass safety. The impactor is a ball filled with metal grains,or dual tires weight about 45 kgs,and fall from different heights,usually 350mm,750mm and 1200mm to see if the glass break or not,this is to simulate people hit on glass.Below video shows the different result of tempered glass and float glass. When the impact force is bigger than glass strength,the tempered glass will shatter into small particles,it won’t hurt people. Beside that,tempered glass has good thermal stability, can withstand a temperature difference of 3 times that of float glass, and can withstand a temperature difference of 200°C. How to judge a glass tempered or not? The appearance of float glass and tempered glass are same,you cannot see clearly whether the glass been tempered or not,here are 2 methods that helps you: Check the glass logo. Tempered glass will has tempered logo on glass surface,the logo are usually 15*15mm and can be found on glass corners,with printed glass standards or related words,such as CSI,SGCC,EN12150,CCC,Kitemark etc.The logo cannot be removed with alcohol,and even knives,it combined with glass firmly. TEMPERED GLASS LOGO-MORN-SGCC-KITEMARK-CHINA-GLASS 2.Check the glass flatness.Before tempering process,float glass is absolutely flat,after tempering process,glass will have slightly overall bow or local bow,if you put hand on glass surface,you’ll feel that the surface is not smooth,or please check the glass vertically and see if any bending at glass center.Now glass tempering process is becoming very advanced and glass flatness is hard to be noted now. tempered glass flatness test-morn-china Can I cut tempered glass? After glass tempering process,Uniform compressive stress is formed on the surface and tensile stress is formed inside,the compressive stress is quite balance. The tempered glass cannot be cut ,grinding or drilling holes any more, otherwise it will be broken due to the destruction of the uniform compressive stress balance. So before you decide to install the tempered glass,make sure the sizes are measured correctly and precisely ,once glass process is finished,it cannot be changed any more. What’s the shortage of tempered glass? The middle part of the tempered glass is the strongest, and the four corners and edges are the weakest. Once the edges or corners are hit, the whole piece of glass is easily broken. Because the existing of Nis in tempered glass ,there’s always spontaneous breakage after glass installation,which brings high maintenance and replacement costs.Heat soaking test is good solution to test the toughened glass and reduce the probability of self-explosion and ensure quality,the shattering proof process is used for high requirement projects.Learn more about glass spontaneous breakage. tempered glass breakage How to maintain my tempered glass? Cleaning the tempered glass is quite easy,usually clean water and  lint free towel or cloth is enough to remove most dirty and dots on glass surface.While for some frequently used glass,especially shower door glass,after years water & chemical corrosion,glass becomes hard to clean,please check our another article: 9 methods to clean Glass shower door-Maintenance Guide glass scraper Cleaning your normal tempered glass,please refer to our post:Building Glass Maintenance guide How much does tempered glass costs? Tempered glass price is quite different,it’s decided by the glass types,glass thickness,glass sizes,glass quantity used and the distance between your house & glass factory.The raw materials in different countries varies too,here we just take China as example,below is reference price: 5mm tempered glass:USD10/SQM, 10mm clear tempered glass: USD20/SQM. Low iron tempered glass and body tinted tempered glass is about 15-20% higher than clear tempered glass. Other extra process,drilling holes,notches,cut-outs,round corners will have extra costs. This is the typical price in China,in developed countries,the price maybe 3-4 times higher for higher labor costs. If you got large scale tempered glass requirement,China glass factories is good option to save costs. How should I do if any tempered glass broken? If any glass broken in your home,keep calm. broken tempered glass-morn -china The fragments of tempered glass is very small,what you should do first ,is to break it and collect all the fragments caused to avoid future potential injury. The glass replacement for your broken tempered glass is quite easy,please contact the local glass replacing companies,they will help measuring the glass size and replace it within just several days. Sometimes the replaced glass is not tempered glass,or it’s just float glass,you can stick films on glass to hold the whole glass.The film can not only have some extra functions,such as offering privacy,decoration ,but most important is,once the glass broken again,the film can hold the glass can prevent glass injury.

If you are passionate about gardening, owning a greenhouse can be the ultimate dream. Greenhouses provide the ideal, controlled environment to grow all kinds of vegetables and plants all year round. The main function of a greenhouse is to secure the ideal levels of humidity and heat, which can be generated from either sunlight or an alternative source. The secret, of course, is in the materials used to construct it. Polycarbonate Greenhouses Over the years, polycarbonate greenhouses have grown in popularity across the UK, overtaking the traditional glass greenhouse. So, which one is better? Well, as with everything, there are pros and cons to both materials. However, there is no denying that polycarbonate greenhouses have become widely popular for a reason, especially with gardening beginners. In this article, we will be discussing all the advantages polycarbonate offers in contrast to glass, so you can make an informed decision for yourself. Advantages Of Polycarbonate Glazing Over Glass Diffused Light vs Direct Light Polycarbonate plastic is thicker which means that it doesn’t let as much direct light in as glass does, thus providing better light diffusion. This means the light will be evenly spread throughout the greenhouse, which is much more beneficial for your plants and vegetables. Higher Durability When it comes to glass, it will last as long as it isn’t broken. Polycarbonate, however, is 100% shatter-resistant, which is particularly ideal if you have children. It is also longer lasting and easier to handle if in need of repair. In fact, the plastic sheets are so simple to replace, you won’t even need to hire a professional, saving you time and money. Increased Thermal Insulation Polycarbonate is better at retaining heat, making it a much more thermally efficient solution keeping the structure cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. It also has the ability to reflect away harmful UV radiations, protecting your plants and extending their life span. Improved Performance One of our favourite benefits of this Polycarbonate Greenhouses is that it allows longer growing seasons. This is directly linked to its superior thermal efficiency and the UV protection provided by polycarbonate. So you can grow your vegetables and plants for more months throughout the year. Summary There is no denying that glass greenhouses are functional and beautiful, however, polycarbonate glazing looks stunning and has many additional benefits at a much more affordable cost. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed to enjoy watching your crops grow into delicious veggies and beautiful plants, whilst saving money on groceries. #### Argon filled insulating glass VS warm edge spacer insulating glass In order to achieve the specific window thermal insulation requirements, we can not only optimize the thermal insulation design of the profile but also adjust the glass configuration. The application of Low E coating can significantly improve the insulation performance of insulating glass. In addition, we usually choose to use argon filled insulating glass, and replace aluminum glass spacers with warm edge spacers to improve the thermal insulation performance of the entire window. Argon VS warm edge spacer Since replacing the improved thermal insulation performance of filling argon and using warm edge spacer in insulated glass are similar,both them can decrease the Uw by 0.1-0.2W/M2.K ,we often have to face the problem “argon” or “warm edge”. Filling with argon gas can reduce the Ug value in the formula for calculating Uw (windows U value) below, and replacing the aluminum spacer with a warm-edge spacer will reduce the ψg value. Calculation formula for windows thermal insulation performance   Although their function to reduce the windows U value are similar and closer, the actual impact is different. Let’s take a comprehensive look at the different effects of argon filling and the use of warm edge spacers on doors and windows. The influence on windows U value Take the 60 series aluminium windows that use 24mm thermal break strips, the 70 series products that use 34mm thermal break strips, and the 75 series products that use 39mm thermal break strips as examples. In the initial state,glass are insulated glass with single silver low-E coating and aluminium spacer,air space.Glass combinations are 5+12A+5Low e IGU, 5+12A+5+12A+5Low e IGU,  5+15A+5+15A+5Low e IGU. The compare is based on AHERE windows conditions and calculated with WINDOW 6.3,THERM 6.3. Aluminium windows used to compare the thermal insulation peformance Simulation resultsbased on 60 series aluminium windows( 24mm thermal break bridge strips) Glass TypeGlass CombinationGlass U valueSpacer TypeWindows U value Air + Aluminium Spacer5+12A+5 LOW-E1.773Aluminium Spacer2.17 Argon + Aluminium Spacer5+12AR+5 LOW-E1.531Aluminium Spacer2.01 Air +Warm edge spacer5+12A+5 LOW-E1.773Warm edge spacer2.05 Simulation resultsbased on 70 series aluminium windows( 34mm thermal break bridge strips) Glass TypeGlass CombinationGlass U valueSpacer TypeWindows U value Air + Aluminium Spacer5+12A+5+12A+5 LOW-E1.275Aluminium Spacer1.71 Argon + Aluminium Spacer5+12AR+5+12AR+5 LOW-E1.094Aluminium Spacer1.60 Air +Warm edge spacer5+12A+5+12A+5 LOW-E1.275Warm edge spacer1.55 Simulation resultsbased on 75 series aluminium windows( 39mm thermal break bridge strips) Glass TypeGlass CombinationGlass U valueSpacer TypeWindows U value Air + Aluminium Spacer5+15A+5 +15+5LOW-E1.225Aluminium Spacer1.62 Argon + Aluminium Spacer5+15AR+5 +15AR+5LOW-E1.080Aluminium Spacer1.52 Air +Warm edge spacer5+15A+5 +15A+5LOW-E1.225Warm edge spacer1.43 With above tests,we got conclusions: For most conventional window types, choosing to fill the insulating glass with argon gas and replacing the aluminum spacers with warm-edge spacers can reduce the entire window U value by about 0.1-0.2W/m2K”. For double glazed unitswith 12mm spacer, the influence argon is better than using warm edge. For the triple glazed units, whether it is 12mm or 15mm spacer,warm edge spacer has much better thermal insulation performance than argon filled glass units. Especially for the 15mm,the reduction of U value is almost twice that of argon filled units. The influence on windows&doors condensation The condensation of doors and windows mainly depends on the temperature of the indoor surface and the indoor humidity. The higher the indoor surface temperature of doors and windows, the less likely it is to condense; the lower the indoor humidity, the less likely it is to condense.Today we will mainly talk about the temperature of the indoor surface of doors and windows. glass condensation For normal windows &doors with insulated glass,the lowest temperature happened on the glass edge area,while the temperature of the glass center,and aluminium frame inner surface are relatively higher,That’s the reason why glass condensation always happened on the glass edge. Below is a simulation result based on the 60 series windows,the temperature of the windows& glass are very clear: windows temperature difference-aluminium windows+insulated glass The temperature at the glass edge is 0.9°C-2.7°C, and after filling the insulating glass with argon ,the temperature of the glass edge is 1.2°C-3.0°C, which is slightly higher. However, if you use Technoform warm edge spacers, the edge temperature of the glass can be increased to 4.1 ℃ -5.5 ℃, and the average temperature increase will reach about 3 ℃. After being filled with argon, it doesn’t increase the thermal break performance of the windows&doors weakest part -glass edge , but increase the glass center that is already has the best performance,the glass edge which has high condensation risks is not increased. Therefore, for the control of door and window condensation, the effect of argon filling is not obvious.   The simulation result on 70 and 75 series aluminium windows are similar: After using the warm edge, the thermal insulation performance of whole window is more balanced, and there is no obvious weak parts in the window. While using argon filling ,the balance of thermal insulation performance of each part of the window has been further broken. The result of argon filling is to further improve the thermal insulation performance of the central part of the glass, which has relatively good thermal insulation performance, while the edge of the glass with the weakest part has not been optimized.   The lifetime of argon gas and warm edge spacers The argon will slowly leak over time, and this will affect the insulation performance of the insulating glass. Even if the units is well sealed, it cannot completely prevent the leakage of argon, but can only reduce the rate of argon leakage. The warm edge spacer used has the same lifetime as the insulated glass,so we don’t have any worry about the performance decrease after years. The price between argon gas and warm edge spacer Argon filled insulated glass is about USD1.5/SQM higher than normal glass with air.Warm edge spacer price is about USD2/SQM higher, it depend on the warm edge spacer brands, the international brands Morn usually use are Technoform, Fenzi, Lisec and other brands.Some China manufacturers also have warm edge products but the performance is relatively poor. Lisec insulating line -MORN-CHINA But what we should be clear is:There’s not many methods to precisely detect the argon content,some glass manufacturers still using very lagging machines to fill the glass and cannot guarantee the actual content (usually 85-90% argon content is required).Some insulating glass production line manufacturers such as Bystronic,Lisec already has lines that can fill gas online and detect the content. Here we recommend a machine to detect the argon content precisely. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/insulated-glass-argon-content-measurement-test.mp4   Both argon and warm edge can increase the insulating glass thermal insulation performance,we suggest using them together, combing with high performance low-E coatings,the glass U value will be decreased to only 0.6-0.8W/M2.K.

There was a tragic accident happened in England in 2012, a child fell through a gap left by a smashed panel of monolithic glass in the roof terrace balustrade. Following the incident, the more forward-thinking companies in the industry started to move completely away from using monolithic glass and instead use toughened laminate glass. Different from single piece toughened glass, the laminate glass contains 2 piece glass and special PVB or SGP interlayers that hold the glass.So even if one piece glass break, the interlayer will keep glass integrity and work as temporary barriers and prevent drop or falling. Laminated glass is recommended to be used in high end glass balcony to protect people from falling down,protect the people under the balcony from the glass rain   The typical application of laminated glass is in bank, the bulletproof glass used in banks are very tough,people can hardly break it even with hammers,or other tools.So it works as good barrier and prevent people from breaking the glass and drop. Below video shows clearly the difference between single piece glass and laminated glass safety,the tested glass include 19mm clear tempered glass,21.52mm PVB laminated glass,21.52mm SGP laminated glass: https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/PVB-LAMI-VS-SGP-LAMINATED-GLASS.mp4 Despite the safety concern,laminated glass can also offering privacy.Digitally printing,silk screen sandblasting,acid etching process enable the glass to have variety transparency ,and optional patterns on glass to provide efficient beauty and privacy performance. The interlayer used in laminated glass can have different colors that body tinted glass cannot achieve,such as pink,blue,black,milky white,ceramic white colors,the variety color options also increase the overall balcony appearance and beauty. Laminated glass is highly recommended to be used in high level glass balcony to protect people from falling down,but also protect the people under the balcony from the “glass rain”. Laminated glass is recommended to be used in high end glass balcony to protect people from falling down,protect the people under the balcony from the glass rain Morn is your balcony laminated safety glass manufacturer and fabricator in China,welcome contact us for more info.

Glass is low profit products,once you got a chance to purchase from a new supplier to save at least 10% budget,be care! It cannot bring more profit but endless losses, money, reputation, business etc. Let’s take 6.38mm clear laminated glass as example.The component is 2 piece 3mm clear and 0.38mm PVB film,but if you think it simple,you’re wrong. Please see below compare based on China market materials Float Glass:Price difference can be USD0.7/SQM. Top Brand Bad Quality One 3mm clear float USD2 USD1.65 3mm clear float USD2 USD1.65 TOTAL USD4 USD3.3 PVB:To save costs,some fabricators use 0.3mm or even 0.25mm PVB for laminating,which can also save USD0.7/SQM. Thickness Unit price 0.38mm Decent USD1.6 0.38mm Bad Quality USD1.38 0.3mm Bad Quality USD1.09 0.25mm Bad Quality USD0.91 So we can see price difference is USD0.7+0.7=USD1.4/SQM,while good quality 6.38mm lami is only USD6.6/SQM,that’s 27% difference. Sometimes when you buy from the cheaper one but with bad quality,the supplier can get even more profits than the ones who offer quality products. Keep away from the cheaper ones,that’s the main reason of bad reputation of “MADE IN CHINA”. Morn will inspect the raw materials to ensure that you receive the right products with right materials.

In addition to threats such as illegal hunting and habitat loss, migratory birds on the way to the city may also accidentally collide with the glass curtain wall  after entering the urban area with high-rise buildings. Birds are facing threatens from Windows or Curtain Wall Birds have their own powerful “positioning and navigation systems”, and different birds have different mechanisms for determining their position during flight. Some birds use the geomagnetic field and polarized light to judge the direction, some birds use the stars as “navigation satellites” at night, and some birds use their powerful memories to travel thousands of miles without getting lost. No matter how powerful the positioning system is, there will be a “signal blind zone”, and the glass curtain wall causes a lot of trouble for the birds. It’s estimated that glass building “kills” more than 360 million birds every year. The British Ornithology Trust estimates that the number of bird strikes against glass curtain walls in the UK is as high as 100 million each year, and one third of them died. Why bird hitting the glass? Highly transparent glass is the culprit. Birds in flight are unaware of the transparent glass, and they will often hitting the glass curtain wall or windowsduring flight. Because glass has good reflectivity, it will reflect the sky, rivers and surrounding plants. Birds in flight will mistakenly think that the image reflected in the glass is a part of nature and is real. The scene is judged to be a safe place, so it will fly to the glass without hesitation. The glass will reflect strong artificial light sources around it at night, and it will also strongly reflect sunlight during the day, resulting in dazzling light spots. At this time, the birds that happen to fly by are suddenly exposed to strong light due to their vision. If you lose your way, you will also hit the glass. when some birds fly at high speed to prey on insects or other prey, their visual perception is often weakened, and they cannot make timely and accurate judgments about the external environment, so they are also likely to hit the glass curtain wall and get injured. Measurements to Prevent bird hitting your windows. The only solution to prevent bird hitting your windows or your curtain wall ,is to make your glass visible to birds. (1)Install curtains or blinds indoors so that the glass does not reflect light as much as possible; if the angle is correct, these decorations will not affect the indoor light or the scenery outside the window, At night, turn off lights or else close curtains or blinds,it is very important for birds. (2)Install patterned glass, acid etched glass,diffused glass,sandblasted glass,or translucent glass which can reduce the reflective area; (3) Try to remove the plants in front of the windows and put them in places where the birds cannot see from the outdoors, so that the birds will not think it is a refuge or a source of food; (4) Someone made the glass more eye-catching by printing a white dot matrix ,or stripes on the glass, reducing the effect of reflection, thereby reducing the probability of bird strikes. (5)It is possible to install a single-sided transparent film for the glass, which will not affect people from looking out from the room, but also prevent the birds from seeing the indoor scenery from the outside; (6) Stickers printed with birds of prey patterns can also be attached to the outside of the window glass to serve as a warning to the birds. (7)Window screen or a light net: Attach this at least 2-3” from the window. When the screen or net is taut, birds will bounce off (imagine a trampoline) without getting caught. Bird Friendly Glass As architectural glass manufacturer,here is bird friendly glass suggestions from our glass experts that is suitable to use in your new buildings. Avoid using high light reflectance glass. Most hard coated solar reflective coated glass ,light reflectance is about 15-30%,for example,6mm French green reflective glass ,light reflectance is 34%,crystal gray reflective glass 16%. Some low-E coating featured with high light reflectance also got high reflective ,most typical is PPG Solarban R100.Visible light reflectance is 32%. All these high reflectance coatings will have better effect on forming clear and better reflective images. It’s advised to use medium reflective glass coating,whether it’s solar reflective coating or low emissivity coating,try to keep it 15-20%. Using frosted glass. Frosted glass,or translucent glass,is good way to avoid forming clear reflective images and make the lights diffused.The frosted glass include sandblasted glass,acid etched glass,translucent laminated glass,silk screen frosted glass,patterned glass,and even fluted glass.Click here to learn more about frosted glass. Avoid using monolithic clear glass or low iron glass. Monolithic clear or low iron glass,light transmittance is around 88-91%,which is not bird friend.Bird will ignore high light transmittance ,and hit on glass directly.It’s suggested to use tinted glass with relatively higher transmittance,for example ford blue glass,euro grey glass,crystal grey glass,French green glass. Silk screen glass with matrix dots or strips. The matrix dots or strips on ceramic frit glass are usually white color ,this will remind the bird that there’s barriers before,instead of nothing. Using insulated glass with blinds,or we can call it blind glass. Blind glass is produced with installed aluminium shutters inside the insulated glass,and controlled with manual,or magnetic controls,and even electric control.The shutters ,or blinds in the insulated glass can be raised and adjusted any angle freely.Uses can control the handle to make it fully transmitted,and 0% light transmittance. Use grill glazed insulated glass &windows. Grill insulated glass has many options and patterns based on customers windows sizes,the grills is place inside the insulated glass and split the whole window into many small partitions.The typically used white grills can help bird knowing that windows there. Decorative glass. Decorative glass is widely used in Europe,North American countries and work as entrance doors for house.It has many kinds patterns for selection,birds can easily know the pattern and avoid hitting and flying into your house.   Some glass manufacturers such as Guardian ,Ornilux,Viracon has developed new bird friendly glass with UV coatings. The Guardian Bird1st UV stripe coating visually signals an impending barrier to birds and helps prevent collisions.The coatings can be seen by bird by people cannot see it. Morn is your turnkey bird friendly architectural glass manufacturer ,we manufacture and supply all kinds of frosted glass,silk screen bird friendly glass for your projects. Download this article here:Bird friendly glass-Precent bird hitting windows #### Building Glass Coating types Coating types on Building Glass The original function of glass,is just covering, protect the house from rains,snows,winds,With the development of technology,many kinds of coatings are developed to suite different requirement,such as energy saving,thermal insulation,etc.This article will guide you the coating types and the function of coatings. Energy Saving ,thermal insulation coatings The energy consumed by the air conditioners account most building energy consumption.Single piece glass U value reaches 5.8W/,M2.K,.Modern buildings especially high rise commercial buildings require energy saving glass to save costs.The energy saving coatings were developed . a.Solar reflective glass. Actually solar reflective glass are usually used as glass spandrels to match the insulated glass,while in some developing countries,reflective glass is used,its high light reflective and low SC values reflect most solar energy.Note that the solar reflective coating position will affect glass performance. b.Low-E coatings Lowe coatings include single silver low-E,double silver low-E,triple silver low-E.The difference is the silver layers numbers inside the coating.Compared with clear insulated glass 2.8W/M2.K U value,double glazed units with low-E coatings can reach 1.5W/M2.K.The most advanced low-E IGU combination is:Triple silver low-E coated+12WAR+clear +12WAR Triple silver low-E coated,U value can be 0.6w/m2.k.This kind of glass is used in passive buildings and keep the minimum temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Note that the installtion angles will affect glass performance as well. c.Nano coatings on glass. It’s new and simple coatings developed these years,the coatings on clear glass can decrease SC significantly.But there’s no official data shows its energy saving performance,here we just list here. With the vacuum glass research,the low-E coating will be replaced by vacuum glass finally. 2.Functional coatings  a.Anti-reflective coatings Museum-anti-reflective-coatings-morn-bm   The greenhouse/solar glass industry require high light transmittance and allow more sun energy penetrate the glass.Anti reflective coatings will increase the light transmittance by around 2.5% and decrease the light reflective to around 2%.Even though the difference looks small,but the large scale application will make a big difference. Anti-reflective coatings are also used in museums to ensure better visiting effect. b.Self cleaning coatings Self cleaning glass VS clear glass   In some areas,such as skylight,high rise buildings,it’s difficult and high costs to clean the glass.Self cleaning coatings makes the glass easy to clean and maintenance. c.Photovoltaic coatings. photovoltaic glass ,solar glass   Now days,glass function is not only shield,glass are used to generate powers.The popular coatings include Cdte coatings,more coatings are developed to make the glass transfer solar energy to electric. d.ITO coatings. glass ito coating   Full name is indium tin oxides coatings.It’s used for display device. Actually there’re many more coatings,such as anti-bacterials used in hospitals and home appliance,one-way mirrors that used in police bureau, optical coatings for glasses to protect the clients eyes,etc. The glass coatings are becoming more and more,we’re suing all kinds of coated glass in daily life,the technology development will bring more new and advanced coatings for glass to facilitate our life.

This guidance does not preclude the use of other methods, materials or equipment; however the user should undertake careful evaluation and make suitable enquiries of the suitability of alternative methods, materials or equipment, before using them. Morn has taken all reasonable care in producing this document, however Morn makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy,reliability or completeness of, and disclaims all liability, direct or indirect (and whether or not arising out of the negligence, default or lack of care of Morn for any loss or damage (whether foreseeable or not) suffered by the recipient or any other person arising out of, or in connection with, any use or reliance by any of them on this document. Liability which cannot legally be excluded is limited to the maximum extent possible. Building glass cleaning,facade glass cleaning and glass maintenance contain routine cleaning,spot cleaning,toughened glass breakage and professional cleaning. Routine Cleaning Hand cleaning of the glass surface, to visibly remove accumulated dust or fingerprints, can be accomplished using a number of different glass cleaning products. PROCEDURE: o While cleaning ensure jewellery and watches are removed and gloves should be worn to avoid scratching the surface of the glass. Scratches that occur from foreign objects will be permanent and are not repairable. o Flood the glass surface with the spray-on cleaning solution or with a cloth saturated with the cleaning solution. Be generous with the amount of solution applied. o Scrub the wetted surface with a clean, lint free towel or cloth. o  Wipe to dry with a clean, lint free towel or cloth. The use of a squeegee is not recommended and could increase the risk of damage to glass and as such should be avoided if possible. o To prevent streaking, stop wiping when the glass is almost dry and there is a uniform residue of moisture left on the glass surface. The residue will quickly evaporate leaving a clean surface. RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS: A mixture of one part vinegar with ten parts water. Commercially available vinegar-based glass cleaners have generally demonstrated an ability to provide a clean, streak free glass surface. Morn does not recommend the use of ammonia-base and alcohol-base glass cleaners because these products tend to leave visible streaks. Spot Cleaning Occasionally spot cleaning may be required to remove stubborn dirt or foreign materials which adhere to the surface. Spot cleaning products work to remove markings from grease, oil, tape adhesive, and crayons or other waxy materials as well as paint and rub-off marks from plastics. PROCEDURE: o While cleaning ensure jewellery and watches are removed and gloves should be worn to avoid scratching the surface of the glass. Scratches that occur from foreign objects will be permanent and are not repairable. o Apply a small quantity of the cleaner listed above to a clean, wet cloth or towel. o Rub on areas of glass needing spot cleaning. o Wipe clean using a dry, clean, lint free towel or cloth followed by a routine cleaning procedure. RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS: Methylated Spirits (solvent available from supermarkets and hardware stores) Please use strictly in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and warnings. TOUGHENED GLASS The cleaning of toughened glass requires special consideration. The glass surface on the opposite side to the Safety Compliance Stamp may, as a consequence of the manufacturing process, have what’s called ‘pickup’ on the surface. ‘Pickup’ is a deposit of very small particles of glass which are fused on the glass surface. It important during the cleaning of toughened glass not dislodge these particles, otherwise scratching of the glass surface may result. Blades or scrapers have been known to dislodge ‘pickup’ from the glass surface permanently damaging the surface of the glass. The use of a soft cleaning cloth is only recommended on toughened glass as to not dislodge ‘pickup’. It is suggested that professional cleaners consult with their suppliers as to the suitability of available cleaning equipment, materials and methods before attempting to clean toughened glass. Warning: – Morn does not warrant damage caused by razor blades or metal scrapers OTHER CONSIDERATIONS & IMPORTANT NOTES: o Do not use cleaners which contain Hydrofluoric or Phosphoric acid as they are corrosive to the glass surface. o Do not clean the glass when the glass is hot or in direct sunlight. o Do not allow cleaning solutions to contact the edges of laminated glass, Insulating Glass Units or Mirrors. o Do not store or place other material in contact with the glass. (This can damage the glass or create a heat trap leading to thermal breakage). o Abrasive cleaners, powder based cleaners, scouring pads or other harsh materials should not be used to clean windows or other glass products. o Avoid causing extreme temperature changes to the glass as this may lead to thermal fracture of the glass, i.e. do not splash hot water on cold glass or freezing water on hot glass. o Some tapes or adhesives can stain or damage glass surfaces. Avoid using such materials unless they are known to be easily removed. Paint Damage:- Do not remove paint spots using a sharp razor blade or metal scrapers. The use of these items will cause damage to the glass. As an alternative, investigate solvents or graffiti removal materials, ensuring that they will not damage the glass. Warning: – Morn does not warrant damage caused by razor blades or metal scrapers. What to do if glass breakage occurs? If glass is damaged or broken ensure that experienced glaziers are engaged to rectify the situation. Glass can be a safety hazard if not handled properly. – Do Not Attempt to remove or replace broken glass unless you are experienced in doing so, broken glass can be extremely dangerous and cause serious injuries or death. PROFESSIONAL CLEANERS Professional glass cleaners have significant experience and access to specialised equipment, materials and methods which the general public may not. Professional glass cleaners are acknowledged experts in the cleaning of glass, Morn offers this information as general advice only. Professional glass cleaners should consider the following information as part of the development of their own cleaning processes and procedures if desired. RECOMMENDATIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION o Always follow manufacturer’s installation and cleaning instructions. o It’s recommended that glass be protected from the risk of contamination caused by building materials and other exposure risks during Construction, this will greatly simplify the glass cleaning task at the end of the project. If the glass cannot be protected during construction then the glass and frames should be cleaned frequently to ensure no permanent damage occurs. o Construction dust, leachate from concrete and rusting from steel can contribute to the formation of mild chemical reactions; this may stain or otherwise damage the surface of glass, voiding warranties. o Glass should be cleaned using only cleaning materials which are free of grit and debris (to avoid scratching and marking of the glass surface). o Only detergents and cleaning solutions which are recommended for cleaning glass should be used. Mild detergents or organic cleaners without sulphates are preferable. o Temporary screens must be installed if welding, sandblasting, floor sanding, cuffing or other potentially damaging construction practices takes place near the glass. o Glass installations which are adjacent to concrete (e.g. concrete slab floors) require extra care and cleaning due to the abrasive nature of concrete dust. o All tradespeople should be advised to be aware of damaging glass and windows and to leave in place any materials protecting the window or glass during the construction period.

The glass trading business in China was once appeared in the 1990s,when the Internet was not developed,it’s quite easy to find customers worldwide,and there’s huge price difference between the China glass price and oversea glass price. A friend who worked in Jinjing glass for over 20 years told me the ancient glass trading was quite easy ,and quite difficult as well. Easy,because the price difference made the business very easy to conclude.There was only several float glass manufacturers then,no B2B,no competition,no clear information made high profit possible,it’s quite easy to get over 20%-30% net profit only if you can find the right customers. Difficult was the internet access, the 64K dial-up access to the internet made the communication very low efficiency,there was no google,no B2B,so search customers on the Internet was quite difficult. Rider glass office Qingdao Rider glass,till now is still the largest glass trading company in China,established in 2001 by an Middle East businessman,now the boss has gained enough profit after 2 decades development,their annual sales over 150 million Us dollars and occupy the NO.1 position in the past decades. Many sales,Purchasing managers ,whether they’re in the trading company or in the factory,got the chance to get themselves developed after gaining the necessary customers and glass sources,they started their own business and numerous trading companies emerged in Qingdao city,that’s the reason why Qingdao companies exported over 50% of China total glass business. How do they get the profit? The profit of glass trading companies are complex. Float glass trading:As there’s no tax return from the government ,all the float glass business was export through “Maidan Export”,which means that the customs declare party is a third party that has no relationship with the buyer and seller,as well as the factory,while the cost,is just USD20/bill. This allows the factory and trading party export the glass without paying 13% VAT ,and the price is also lower than the China domestic price. The existing of glass distributors helped them grow up again.Big distributors and wholesalers has large amount of cash and can book thousands tons of float glass in price that is far lower than the market price,and even can get sales return from float glass manufacturers once the order volume reached the agreed point.The float glass manufacturers also offer many policies to ensure distributor’s interests by guaranteeing the makret price 10-20% higher than the distributors before the distributors’ stock was sold out. float glass export-glass trading-loading Once the trading companies order volume reached in certain scale,they got the ability to chat with shipping companies and get lower price.For example,if you can ensure 50-100 containers to North America per month,then shipping companies will offer a 20-40% lower shipping fees than the market price,the saved shipping costs is even higher than glass profit. Now the shipping market is quite disordered,limited shipping space eliminate the agreed lower shipping fees. International trade-shipping by sea So for float glass,even though they all claimed that low profit,the actual profit is really awesome. Processed glass: For processed glass,the government allows 13% tax return to ensure the made in China glass can compete with others in the international market. Whether it’s acid etched ,frosted glass,tempered glass,laminated glass,insulated glass, the 13% tax return is fixed,so the profit is the net costs and selling price,this is decided by the purchasing costs (depend on the factory they work with) ,and how much tax return they would like to give up. For example, EXW price USD10/SQM,port fees USD 0.5/SQM,and tax return should be 10/1.13*0.13=USD1.15/SQM, net costs USD10-1.15+0.5=USD9.35. So ,if selling price is higher than 9.35/sqm, trading companies gained profit,that’s much lower than you purchase directly from glass factory. So you can see the glass quotation USD9.5,USD9.8, USD10, USD10.5 etc. tempered glass-export packing The development progress of trading companies Initial glass trading are always float glass,it’s easy,just buy and sell,high profit,good business.But after 2005, trading companies found another product that always required- laminated sheets. 6.38mm, 8.38mm,10.38mm laminated sheets which was quite popular in South America,Africa,and middle east.This kind of safety glass offers safety and strength is much better than float glass,so during 2005-2018, laminated glass and float glass account 70-80% of their total orders. Of course this is for Qingdao trading companies, this is good for them but did became a barrier for the glass processing companies. During that time,numerous glass factories in North China worked on the numerous laminated sheets orders,they don’t have high end glass orders,for example tempered laminated glass,facade insulated glass that can help ncreasing processing capability ,Even the largest glass processing factory in Shandong province,Shandong Yaohua glass,was once process and export over 100 containers laminated sheets per month in the 2013,and 2014.The low profit products had great negative effect on their development. laminated glass under production Usually the profit was just SD0.2-0.3/SQM for 6.38mm laminated glass,some trading companies used low quality float glass,0.3mm and even 0.25mm PVB to decrease the costs and gain order in the fierce competition,the low quality products also created negative impression of China glass,so laminated sheets orders was decreased since 2018,instead ,processed glass products,tempered glass table top,shower door orders increased. laminated glass in production-laminated glass After 2020,the COVID-19 caused materials price and shipping fees increased,compared with May,2020,China float glass price has been doubled,glass processors have started importing glass from Malaysia,Iran whose price can be 20% lower.Shipping fees increased by several times and now Qingdao-Long beach ,shipping fees reached USD13500/40’GP,that means shipping fees is much more expensive than the product itself. Under this situation,most trading companies profit and order volume decreased much and quite difficult in 2021. Float glass export: Kibing,XYG ,CNG already built production bases in Africa and Southeast Asia.The float glass production base has changed from China Mainland to Vietnam,several China glassman built float glass production lines there to take advantage of the low price raw materials and labors.Price is much lower than China mainland.Trading companies can ship directly from Vietnam. float glass manufacturer-glass factory Processed glass export: Trading companies are finding ways to get more project orders with higher profit,But processed glass trading require very professional glass knowledge,especially glass performance,this is a quite difficult for them.   From simple float glass trading,to shower doors,laminated sheets,and to now facade project orders,trading companies here are growing up together with the glass industry. From export mainland products to invest in oversea,taking advantage of oversea also showed that upgrading of glass industry. Morn is also a starting-up glass trading company in Qingdao,working with our glass partners,we focus on facade projects and mainly products are high performance insulating glass,and laminated glass applied in facade,we sincerely hope that the shipping market can be back to regular and international trade flourish again.

Departure inspection, landing inspection,medical inspection and home isolation have become major restrictions on travel and logistics. In particular, after the epidemic caused by the landing of logistics drivers in Foshan and other places, the inspection and restrictions rules on freight transportation are unprecedented. In some areas, it is difficult for materials to enter and finished products to go out in the production areas. As the core of logistics, drivers are under great pressure such as green code, travel code, 24-hour nucleic acid report and pass. It is common to stay on the highway and cannot enter the destination city. The door was sealed and the driver was “sealed” to prohibit getting off in the truck. China is encountering serious COVID-19 IN Apri,2022 From the beginning of March to April 7, the daily average of the national vehicle freight flow index fell from the highest 147.68 to 70.71, with a significant decrease of 52.1% month on month, indicating that the impact of the epidemic on the freight volume is more obvious; According to the provincial data, the Shanghai vehicle freight logistics index decreased from the highest 144.52 to 16.45, with a significant decrease of 88.6% ; Jilin vehicle freight logistics index decreased from the highest 122.46 to 14.38, with a significant decrease of 88.3% . The throughput growth of cargo hubs slowed down significantly. From the beginning of March to April 7, the daily average throughput index of major public logistics parks in China fell from the highest 114.21 to 72.71, down 36.3% ; The daily average throughput index of distribution centers of major express enterprises decreased from 108.54 to 68.13, decreased by 37.2% . With the rise of the photovoltaic industry, many photovoltaic glass enterprises have expanded their production capacity, resulting in a sharp increase in the demand for quartz sand as a raw material. Especially under the epidemic, the large-scale supply of quartz sand has become a bottleneck. Many truck doors were sealed and drivers are note allowed to get off the car   This brings series problem to the industrial production. Taking Zibo as an example, since the outbreak of the epidemic on March 8, many factories have stopped production for nearly 22 days affected by the epidemic (production was fully resumed on April 7). Affected by the epidemic, raw materials and chemical materials cannot be imported and finished products cannot be transported out. The most helpless thing is in East China. Taking the transportation from Shandong to Shanghai as an example, although the freight of about 7000 yuan usually rises to 30000 yuan, however, no driver is willing to accept the order. Serious COVID Inspection rules is strict everywhere in China At present, the epidemic has entered the third year, the global COVID-19 popularity has also entered the fourth wave. Trans provincial transport is almost suspended. Freight logistics costs continue to improve and a car is hard to find. Procurement, production, sales and other links have been suspended. In the new round of reshuffle, some enterprises with weak foundation and weak competitiveness will be difficult to gain a foothold. In this round of epidemic caught by surprise, adjusting enterprise development planning to cope with such a bad beginning this year 2022. #### China electricity shortage and power outage in 2021 This posts is not only related to China industry,but also related to every exporter and importer. The power outage policy in China This situation has recently appeared in some provinces and cities in China. Central air-conditioning in large shopping malls began to open for a limited time… In some places, residents’ homes have also started occasional power cuts….. Some factories are unable to start work due to electricity shortage, and workers are on holiday… In particular, the coastal areas imposed power cuts on factories. The factories could only give a large number of workers a holiday, and the newly purchased production lines could not be used, which caused considerable losses to export companies. According to incomplete statistics, 16 provinces across the country have introduced electricity cut measures .Ningxia, which is more aggressive, directly forced high-energy-consuming companies to suspend production for one month. The two major manufacturing provinces, Guangdong and Jiangsu, have also imposed power cuts on a considerable number of manufacturing companies and forced a reduction in production. Production stopped in China factories It is a common situation encountered by production enterprises in Jiangsu Province, which is equivalent to the forcible reduction of production capacity by half. Analysis of the power outage policies Someone once ridiculed that the United States has a nuclear-powered money printing machine. Whenever they need money, they have to print a batch to harvest the world. Although it is a joke, the Americans really have a super money printing machine. American can print money and purchase products globally   In order to alleviate the economic difficulties caused by the epidemic, Trump first printed a wave of money. Biden was in power for half a year, from the economic stimulus package, as well as the unemployment compensation plan and the “super infrastructure” plan. Adding the execution cost, it has been close to 10 trillion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to the combined annual GDP of Germany, France, and Italy. The Americans print money to export inflation to the world. The money printed on paper by the Americans can be exchanged for goods and products from the world. However, the United States did not expect that India and Vietnam, the two major processing countries, were crippled by the Delta strain, and the factories were shut down and the society was shut down,let alone meeting American demand for goods. Only China in the world has been less affected by the Covid-19 and is able to produce goods in large quantities. As a result, massive orders flooded into China. According to statistics, in the first half of 2021, the total value of China imports and exports was 18.07 trillion yuan, an increase of 271% over the same period 2020. After receiving orders and receiving soft hands, China’s foreign trade industry is supposed to have great profit? It’s really not the case.But the embarrassing situation facing China’s foreign trade industry is commodity prices are skyrocketing. China global trade increased sharply in 2021 Bulk commodities generally refer to commodities that are homogeneous, tradable, and widely used as basic industrial raw materials, such as crude oil, non-ferrous metals, steel, agricultural products, iron ore, coal, etc. We can simply understand it as raw materials for production. For an industrialized country like China, the price increase of bulk commodities is uncomfortable, especially when the pricing power is not in their hands. Yao Jian, a former spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, reluctantly ridiculed: “China’s pricing power in the international trading system has almost completely collapsed. Whatever China buys will increase prices, and what China sells will decrease prices.” How severe is China’s dependence on bulk commodities in the international market? Iron ore is totally dependent on imports, and Australia almost monopolizes the global iron ore resources; copper is also seriously insufficient. As the world’s largest copper importer, its consumption accounts for 40% of the world. However, 70% of copper is controlled by international giants such as BHP Billiton. Although China has made great efforts in oil security, it is nothing more than diversification of channels. The pricing power is still in the hands of the United States. If United States says that prices will increase, and almost all chemical products will increase. The worst is coal. Although the economic prosperity cannot be separated from oil, China’s economic growth is mainly driven by coal rather than oil, because 70% of China’s total energy consumption is coal. In January 2021, 5500 kcal coal was 500 yuan/ton, it reached the highest point in September of 1009 yuan/ton! coal price increase in 2021 This is a 100% increase! This is dying. You know, China’s thermal power generation accounts for 73% of the country’s power generation. As soon as the price of coal rises, the power plant finds that the money to buy electricity for one year is only enough for half a year. Too much! What’s more, all companies are desperately starting work to respond to massive orders, and the sudden increase in power consumption has even used up the original one-year power generation plan. In 2021, industrial power consumption is 45.1 billion kWh, an increase of 206% over 2020. The power generation plan was used up in advance, the price of electric coal increased, and the power plant lost money, power outage became a last resort measure. The prices of bulk commodities price increases is easy, while the prices increase of processed goods is quite difficult. For Wall Street, price doubling is too easy, just find any reason to arrange a production outage. But bulk commodities can double their prices, and can industrial products double their prices? For example, the whole world knows that made in China products is high quality and cheap, and a piece of clothing costs only $20. The lower-level population in the United States particularly likes it. But if price  increase by 50%, China will lose a large group of target users immediately. If the prices of commodities are rising, can you stop purchasing? No, then you will not be able to produce anythings. And the mine will still be there, no loss.at all. So now China’s hot export is a very embarrassing situation: Foreigners raise the price of raw materials and make big money. The Chinese work hard and make small money. Even because of the skyrocketing shipping fee, they can’t make money at all. They have to bear the inflation brought by the devaluation of the U.S. dollar. How China’s measurement facing the embarrassing situation? China has anticipated this situation a long time ago, and has also arranged a countermeasure in advance: dual control of energy consumption. Dual control of energy consumption refers to the dual control of total energy consumption and intensity, which can be simply understood as controlling the unit power consumption and controlling the total power consumption.The goal is to reduce dependence on energy consumption such as oil for economic growth, and to gradually transition to a low-carbon economy. carbon control plan Obviously, the promotion was not so smooth. So power cut policy was implemented to control the society energy consumption,which has great influence on the industrial production. You should know that industry accounts for the absolute majority of electricity consumption, and it is also a major event directly related to the survival of the enterprise.Power is not the purpose, but the purpose is to regulate and control. At the beginning of the development of China’s manufacturing industry, it basically started from the low end. Because of the low barriers to entry, buying a few outdated equipment and a few people for training can start production at full capacity. It doesn’t matter if the quality is low. If Europe and the United States customers cannot accept the low quality,then products will be sold to Southeast Asia and Africa. The result of this is that decades have passed. China’s manufacturing industry still has not gotten rid of the extensive development model of high investment, high consumption, and high emissions. It not only has great damage and impact on the resources and environment, but also very low profit .Design, R&D and marketing capability increased only a little but caused a deep reliance on international orders and international raw materials. Although the profit is little, if the production capacity is expanded, there’ll be good returns and good profit as well. In normal times, this idea is correct, but the current situation is not feasible. Because once the epidemic eases and foreign production resumes, Chinese companies will face overcapacity, which can lead to losses and close down. And if it is worsened, the current debt and stock market bubbles in the United States are superimposed, and the world is likely to enter the Great Depression. it will be difficult for small enterprises to survive and will inevitably close in batches. In other words, no matter whether the epidemic situation is alleviated or worsened in the future, China’s current low-end production capacity is likely to be unable to survive. Therefore, the country adopted power outage measures, part of the purpose is to remove low end production capability in advance,everyone should control production capacity and force industrial upgrades. What’s industrial upgrades? Industrial upgrade simply means product quality upgrade, technology upgrade, brand upgrade, none of them is easy. Product differentiation, technology accumulation, and brand formation require time, money and even luck to complete. The probability of success is probably less than 1%. This is a very difficult decision for many small enterprises to decide the uncertain industrial upgrade or not. Therefore, the country must take action to help them make up their minds to force small and medium-sized enterprises to step out of their comfort zone and upgrade their industries, because they cannot survive unless they upgrade! 4.0 industry For example, in the early years, Guangdong was phosphorous copper ball production base, and the labor cost was RMB1500/ton. After the labor shortage, various factories were desperately recruiting people, and labor costs continued to increase. Finally, one factory could not stand it and just spent RMB 5 million to introduce a fully automatic robot production line which reduced the labor cost to RMB1,000/MT, and the product quality is very stable, and there will be no mistakes. More importantly, other factories work eight hours a day, even if they work overtime, it is still 10 hours. However, his factory produces 24 hours without interruption and has a monthly output value of up to RMB100 million, which has a huge advantage. As a result, more than 180 other local factories producing phosphor bronze balls closed down. What’s the influence of the power outage policy? The pricing power of raw materials is controlled by international capital, and the pricing increase has brought great profit to the capitals,now China is trying to get the pricing power of finished products. After power outage and Forcing companies to reduce production,the demand for international raw materials has decreased.then the prices of raw materials will stabilize and consolidate. After the production cut, the total export production capacity decreased, then the price of finished products will rise. Anyway,only China control the Covid-19,and is the first country to resume work and production on a large scale, and only China can meet the global huge demand. In one word,after decreased production capability,The cost of raw materials has dropped, the price of finished products has risen, energy consumption has been reduced, and higher finished products price,meanwhile ,more and more China enterprises will try to upgrade their production lines and decrease unit costs and energy consumption. For oversea importers, the price of purchased products from China will increase and finally increased because of limited supply capability.The inflation will finally been brought to the world. trade war Some guys describe this as a gambling between the global major countries. Is international capital unable to withstand our production cuts first, and bulk prices decrease? Or China cannot withstand the tight supply caused by production cuts and further push up bulk prices in the short term? Is Western countries couldn’t hold back our production cuts and price hikes, and we stubbornly exported inflation? Or China cannot hold the crisis of production reduction, and upstream inflation will be transmitted to downstream, triggering domestic inflation? Nobody knows… Donwload this article here:China electricity shortage and power cut in 2021 #### China float Glass price in 2022 In the first half of 2022, the float glass market declined weakly, and the industry gradually fell into losses. Under the severe contradiction between supply and demand in the industry and high inventory pressure, the traditional peak season won’t comes as expected in the next few months. Jan- June 2022: prices continued to decline, and a wide range of losses  In the first half of 2022, the contradiction between supply and demand in the float glass market was severe,  and the market keeps weak. In addition to the price rebound around the Spring Festival due to mid-stream and downstream stocking reasons, prices have fallen into a stage of continuous decline since late February, the industry has gradually entered a loss since May, and the loss has intensified in June. By the end of June, the average price was 1771.58 yuan/ton, a decrease of 27.86%, and a decrease of 43.76% from the high of 3150 yuan/ton in early September 2021. At present, the selling prices of most companies in North China, Central China, East China and South China have fallen below the cost. There are two main reasons for the continued decline in prices: The rigid demand continues to be weak, and the problem of insufficient orders from processing plants is prominent; The supply continues to increase year-on-year, causing high inventory. China float glass price in 2022-Jan-June Supply side: production capacity has increased at a high level, and cold repair is limited By the end of June, there were 302 float glass production lines in China, 263 of which were in production, with a total daily melting volume of 175,725 tons, The average daily melting volume from January to June was 173,783 tons. In the first half of 2022, a total of 8 production lines will be cold repaired, with a total production capacity of 4,450 tons.8 new lines or repaired lines back to production with a total production capacity of 6,050 tons. Daily output of China float glass lines Demand side: Real estate funds are limited, and the demand for float glass is sluggish Monthly consumption of China float glass industry in 2022 Float glass is mainly used for real estate, and since the second half of 2021, the shortage of real estate funds will continue. Under the continued weakness of real estate sales, the shortage of funds for terminal projects in the first half of 2022 continued to be unresolved, the processing plants had difficulty in collecting payments, the processing plants were short of funds, and orders were shrinking. In addition, the production capacity of processing equipment increased in 2020-2021, and the survival of processing plants became more difficult.   In the first half of 2022, the start-up of downstream processing plants of float glass continued to be at a low level. Since the Spring Festival, downstream processing plants have gradually added new orders in March, but the orders have been sluggish. From April to June, the orders of processing plants have not improved, and the orders have decreased by about 30% year-on-year. Under the high level of finished product inventory, some regional processing plants were forced to reduce the operating load from May to June. At present, the mainstream operating load of domestic processing plants is 50%-70%.   Inventory: The inventory of manufacturing enterprises continued to accumulate, hitting a record high for the same period Float glass inventory in China keep increasing since 2022 In the context of insufficient rigid demand, the intention of processing plants to stock up in the first half of the year was sluggish. In addition to the centralized stocking around the Spring Festival, the sales in April-June are mainly based on just-needed transactions. The average production and sales rate in the industry is about 92%, and the oversupply rate is 8%. On the whole, social inventories are high, and inventories in the first half of the year are concentrated in production enterprises. By the end of June, the national inventory was 110.46 million weight boxes, a significant increase of 100.4% compared with the end of last year. The main 13 provinces have a stock of 71.29 million weight boxes, a year-on-year increase of 246.57%, an increase of 43.04% over the same period in 2020, and the inventory days are 43.2 days (daily melting volume calculation). In terms of sub-regions, the inventory pressure in the north is greater than that in the south. The average inventory days in the north of Shandong are 45.1 days, and the southern region is 31.4 days.   Cost side: The cost is running at a high level, and the industry is gradually falling into losses In the first half of 2022, the cost of float glass will increase from a high level, and the cost of raw material soda ash and fuel will be relatively high. The price of superimposed float glass has declined, and industry profits have gradually shrunk. In the first half of the year, the national comprehensive profit was 158.76 yuan/ton. It has gradually entered a loss since May, and lost 168.4 yuan / ton in June. A larger portion has fallen below costs.   It’s expected that float glass price will increase since Sep,2022 and reach highest point by Nov,when the price would be 30% higher than in July. #### China float glass price increase in May,2021 Firstly,it’s recommended to read our posts: China float glass price trend analysis-2021&2022 Early May,2021, over 50 float glass manufacturers in China announced price increasing plan.Including China core glass manufacturers for example Jinjing glass,CSG,SYP,XYG glass.The price adjustment not only include float glass,but also low-E coated glass,mirrors,low iron glass,etc. Now average ex works price for clear float glass is USD 405/MT,which was almost double times that of May,2020. In the post in 2020,https://mornglass.com/float-glass-price-increase-in-may.html, the float glass price almost reached its lowest point in the past decades because of COVID-19,but increased since 2020.May. The fast recovery and re-start of construction works in China brought huge power to glass price increase,with the recovery of oversea projects,float glass requirement reached a peak in Jan,2021.Factories had to rush out all the orders before Lunar new year.After the holiday,the recovery becomes more strong and push price to a higher point. The same situation happened to glass future trading,the future trading price reached USD455/MT,which is 2.5 times that of 2020,May. Below tables show clearly the price trend since 2020 -2021,China float glass price always breaking new record,with the peak season approaching,we cannot forecast the future trend as it’s always unexpected. China float glass price trend-2020-2021   This round of glass futures price increases began in middle March this year, mainly due to strong demand in the glass spot market, in addition to the expectations for the traditional peak sales season in September.Glass future price reached its highest point since 2012. At present, the inventories of glass manufacturers are generally at a historical low level, especially the inventories of manufacturers in the main production area of Hebei Province are far below the historical level of the same period, providing strong support for spot prices. It is expected that there will be some room for increase in spot market prices in the near future. Benefiting from the rise in glass prices, in the first quarter of this year, the performance of domestic listed glass companies went viral across the board. Kibing Group (601636.SH) quarterly reported that the company’s revenue was 2.9 billion yuan, 2.2 times that of the same period last year; net profit was 880 million yuan, more than five times that of the same period last year.Below is Kibing stock price: CSG A (000012.SZ) quarterly report also showed that its revenue for the quarter was 3 billion yuan, an increase of 73% year-on-year; net profit was 570 million yuan, more than five times that of the same period last year. Jinjing Technology (600586.SH) revenue in the first quarter was 1.47 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 47%; net profit was 350 million yuan, about 12 times that of the same period last year. The reasons of glass price increase In the early years, the glass industry was classified as an industry with overcapacity. In the past five years, the supply and demand pattern has changed. This year, the glass price has exploded, and it is hard to say that it will peak in the short term.   Limited glass production capability By end of April,2021,total 246 glass production lines exist in China and the glass production capacity utilization rate was 84.01%, an increase of 3.99% compared with 2020. From the perspective of supply and demand, on the supply side, due to the limitation of the overall production capacity of glass, the possibility of excessive growth in supply is low, and in the case of continuous improvement in production profits in the recent period, there has not been a crazy expansion of production capacity, so Supply-side countermeasures to prices are difficult for the time being. Due to the higher price and better profit of solar glass and low iron glass,many glass manufacturers turned the production capability to produce low iron glass and solar glass,which also limited the production capability of normal architectural glass. Huge glass requirement. In the first quarter, the finished projects nationwide increased by 22.9%compared with 2020. Price increase is caused by strong downstream demand and low inventory. In the long run, it is the inevitable result of the country’s supply-side reforms. In the past five years, glass supply and demand have shifted from an obvious surplus to a gradual tightening. From the order point of view, due to the rigid time requirements for the delivery of new houses, the engineering end has placed orders in advance, and the glass manufacturers have sufficient orders before September this year. Gobal inflation The reason is that the global release of strong inflation expectations is pushing up commodity prices. Not only glass,other products,steel,aluminium ,bronze,sand,everything related to building ,price increased much because of globally inflation. From 29th,April, to 10th,May,aluminium ingot price increased by 8.5% within only 10 days. The influence of glass price increase The float glass price will result in huge influence on both the domestic market and export market. Many float glass exporters in Qingdao has reported that revenue decreased by 50% under the high price background.Many China glass processors had already started import glass from other countries for example Malaysia,Iran which price is 20-30% cheaper. This turn float glass price increase will destroy China float glass export industry and force them to turn to higher profit products for example processed glass products,double glazed units,,traditional glass products-float glass,laminated glass sheets will not have price advantage any more. The shipping costs also affected the glass export and caused decreased orders from overseas,2021 will be extremely difficult for glass exporters. For domestic market,this will bring house price increase again.Many contractors have to re-bargin and even construct in a loss.

Download this article here:China Float glass price increase in May,2021 #### China float glass price trend analysis-2021&2022 Since 2021, affected by multiple factors, the price of China float glass has increased significantly compared with 2020, which has caused a greater reaction from downstream enterprises(glass processors,facade contractors,real estate developers) . Especially after May,2021, frequent tight supply of float glass has been, and the price has been running at a high level and continuously rising. In August, float glass industry listed companies have successively released performance reports for the first half of 2021. Benefiting from the high prosperity, the performance of these flat glass companies is very gratifying. float glass production lines in China The price of flat glass has risen rapidly, but the price transmission from upstream to downstream is not smooth. Glass deep processing companies that do not have their own flat glass production lines, have to purchase raw materials at high prices and then selling the products at a loss. On May 29 this 2021, seven glass deep-processing industry associations(Henan,Shanxi,Hunan,Ningxia,Luoyang,Wuhan,Hefei) gathered in Huangshan City, and issued an appeal to relevant state ministries and commissions to investigate the abnormal float glass price increase. The Politburo meeting held on July 30 also pointed out that the current global epidemic is still evolving, the external environment has become more complex and severe, and the domestic economic recovery is still unstable and uneven; it is necessary to “do a good job in ensuring the supply of bulk commodities and stabilizing prices.” On August 3, the China government also held a flat glass price symposium. Lv Guixin, the first-level inspector of the Raw Materials Department, said bluntly: At present, the continuous price increase under the background of excessive production capacity,the situation is out of the fundamentals of the industry, and the policy does not allow it. It is necessary to fully realize the harm caused by the excessive and rapid rise of the original price.   What are the consequences of fast and continuous price increase of flat glass prices? What causes its price misalignment to be so serious? Will prices fall before 2021? How can we avoid recurring waves in the industry? Multi factors affect float glass price in 2021 China-morn China Float glass price keep increasing The rate of increase of float glass in 2021 is the highest since the abolition of the national glass distribution price in 1993.Said Mr Sun Xingshou, deputy secretary general of China Building Materials Federation. After the outbreak of the Covid-19 in early 2020, the production and sales of the float glass industry have shrunk sharply, and prices falled sharply. In April 2020, the price of flat glass fell to a low record to USD210/MT. With the joint efforts of the industry to promote the resumption of work and production, the price of float glass will gradually recover after May 2020. In 2020 August, it recovered to normal price level USD295/MT, and climbed to USD350/MT at the end of the year. Since 2021, the price of flat glass has declined first and then increased, and has accelerated after May, reaching a peak of USD500/MT in August,2021,it’s already much higher than global average price. China-float-glass-price-trend-2020-2021 The excessively high and rapid increase has caused great response from downstream enterprises and some users in the industry chain. Glass deep processing enterprises are in the middle a of the industrial chain, and are dominated by small, medium sized enterprises, with weak bargaining power and weak transmission and digestion of cost pressures. “We’ll customers if no delivery, but huge loss if deliver glass”. Many companies want to delay the delivery date, thinking that a little bit less loss.” According to a description by deep processing company boss, in May 2021,When the rise was the most intense,daily rise is very common. However, due to poor downstream price transmission and upstream raw material prices increase, it is very difficult for them to “live” under the attack of both ends. The upstream and downstream industries are inseparable from each other. From a deeper point of view, the price of flat glass is too high and too fast to rise, which may also endanger the effectiveness of the flat glass industry in resolving overcapacity and supply-side structural reforms in recent years. According to Sun Xingshou’s recollection, the problem of overcapacity of float glass began in 2009. Under the loose macro policies at the time, high domestic infrastructure demand drove a large number of float glass production capacity. In 2008, the production capacity of flat glass was 33.5 million tons, which surged to 38 million tons in 2009, and there are more than 5 million tons under construction. At that time, there was a serious overcapacity problem in the entire industry, and the utilization rate of capacity gradually declined, and the price of flat glass was also declining. In the next few years, government departments successively issued de-capacity documents, prohibiting new and expanding float glass production capacity projects, strictly implement the new capacity replacement policy in order to contain and resolve the problem of overcapacity. Float glass also achieved rapid growth in production and sales without increasing production capacity. In 2021,Sep,the industry has 299 effective production lines with a production capacity of 197,600 tons/day; 265 production lines with a production capacity of 175,500 tons/day. From January to September,2021, the industry statistic is as below: 14 production lines were resumed, with a production capacity of +9900 tons/day; 6 new float glass lines, with a production capacity of +4000 tons/day; 8 cold repair lines (2 had resumed production), with a production capacity of -5350 tons/day; Compared with the beginning of the 2021, the production capacity is +5.12%. and the production capacity is at a historical high. float glass stocks Multi factors affect price increase Raw materials increase. Since the beginning of 2021, the prices of bulk commodities and raw materials have risen considerably, which has brought certain cost pressures to the flat glass industry. Taking Guangdong as an example, the quartz sand used for glass production has an increase of 50%; the quartz sand for ultra-white glass rose by more than 80%; soda ash price rose over 40%, and fuels such as natural gas have also increased by more than 10% recently. “Overall, the production cost of float glass has risen by more than 12.5%.” The sharp reduction in inventory is also the direct reason. Key flat glass companies have maintained low inventories this year. In the past, under normal circumstances, corporate inventory was basically maintained at 20 days. In 2021 It has dropped to about 10 days, sometimes even less than 10 days.” The strong pull from the demand side cannot be underestimated. The outbreak of the Covid-19 in early 2020 has caused the real estate delayed delivery time, and the real estate market has substantially “cleared inventory” . The data shows that from January to June this year, the floor space of houses completed nationwide was 364.81 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 25.7%, of which the growth rate in June reached 66.5%. In particular, large-scale promotion of energy-saving doors and windows in shed renovation and renovation of old communities has made the demand for glass in the construction sector more obvious. Government policy. Due to environmental protection reasons, Xingtai, Tangshan and other regions limited production in recent years, resulting in a tight supply of flat glass in stages and pushing up the glass market price. Additional factors such as capital intervention, hoarding, and abusing pricing power, etc. The doping of factors eventually led to the abnormal price. The act of hoarding float glass not only involves float glass manufacturers and distributors, but also deep-processing enterprises. The emergence of these excessive speculations not only contributed to the price increase, but also disrupted the normal production and sales cycle. China float glass price ikeep increasing in 2021  Price will keep high in balance 2021 September and October is the traditional peak season of glass industry,but 2021 is different. The overall market trading atmosphere is stable, the fulfillment rate of order delivery has declined, demand has weakened slightly compared with August, and the enthusiasm for downstream purchases is weak. Since July, due to extreme weather, repeated epidemics, delayed demand and other factors, the industry’s inventory has continued to increase. The average inventory days this week is close to 15 days, +4.9 days from the August, but the overall inventory of the industry is still at a low level. The construction progress of the project was affected, and the processing plants were cautious in receiving orders to control the capital risk. Some enterprises’ orders generally even weakened slightly; the phenomenon of reminding orders for finished goods decreased, and the pressure on finished goods inventory of processing plants increased. On the whole, the price of glass is at a high level, terminal payment is slow, processing companies are cautious about rising material costs, and short-term demand may continue to be flat, but terminal demand will only be late and will not be absent. The current price increase is due to the explosive growth of demand, which has led to fluctuations in the relationship between supply and demand in the short term.China has always encouraged the promotion of energy-saving insulating glass. “From one piece to two pieces,and then triple insulated glass three pieces.”  the proportion of demand for flat glass will increase further in the second half of the year. Flat glass is included in the “two high” (high energy consumption, high pollution) industries. Under the guidance of the “dual-carbon” goal, the supply of flat glass production capacity will not increase much, and the environmental pressure on enterprises will also increase further. float glass production lines in China-high price in 2021 But some guys offered different opinion: As the float glass line cold repair and capacity replacement are put into production, the supply is gradually increasing; After the peak of the real estate market, the domestic market demand will decline. This round of price increases is something that both the supply and demand sides are unwilling to see, and both hope to fall back. “ Domestic prices are likely to fall, and by the end of 2021, they may gradually return to the state at the beginning of 2021, and will be further adjusted after the first half of 2022.” Morn Opinion: As glass trading company,Morn has seen that glass export,both float glass and processed glass products decreased significantly compared with 2020.In addition to 10-20 times increased shipping fees,the glass trading companies survive is quite difficult,China glass industry is losing its competitive in global market. float glass ready to export-China morn With decreased export requirement,the cooling down of China real estate industry,the float glass price will keep relatively stable and in next few years will keep USD390-450/MT. Nobody will benefit from the high price except float glass manufacturers,we sincerely hope below measurements been implemented: Strengthening the collection and sorting of information such as changes in flat glass production capacity and changes in market supply and demand, and timely release to effectively prevent market fluctuations and price fluctuations caused by information asymmetry. Glass processors should develop new and creative products to increase the export competition advantage. Stop and punish the behaviors that affect normal market price.

The Covid 19 virus since January ,2020 has brought unexpected disaster to global glass industry. In the special times,float glass manufacturer have to break the produced float glass for re-production,because the glass processing companies didn’t start work,all the China domestic and export projects are stopped.During the past months ,float glass manufacturers had encountered ever biggest threaten .While Since May,most glass processing factories had started production and all the domestic projects and oversea projects re-started,in addition to the China government policies to increase the infranstructure construction, the glass requirement is increasing all the time since may.Float glass manufacturers had meeting in Zibo city on August 12th and decided to increase the glass price,by end of August 2020,float glass has increased by over 60% compared with May. The Glass processing industry is facing big threaten in August,2020,main reasons are increased float glass price,shipping fees and decreased exchange rate. The 2nd factor is the decreased foreign exchange rate. The foreign exchange rate between USD and RMB reached the highest point 1:7.15 in June,while in the past 2 months,it decrease much to now 1:6.85,the 3% difference caused huge losses,especially for the running projects.Many low profit and low cost products,for example, float glass, laminated glass sheet,3mm tempered glass price has increased much and make it quite hard to compete in the international market,many small processing factories that relying on laminated sheets export has no business since June. The Glass processing industry is facing big threaten in August,2020,main reasons are increased float glass price,shipping fees and decreased exchange rate. The 3rd factors is the increasing shipping fees. Shipping fees increased much since August.The main reason is,the virus in China is controlled and many factories are exporting in large scale,while most oversea factories are still closing.So all the containers going out from China but come back empty.To make  up the losses caused by the empty container,shipping fees increased almost 2 times that of original price.All the factories that quoted based on CIF terms and forwarders encountered big loss as the shipping fees increased to frequent.It changes almost every week and increase 15-25% each time.The trend may keep at least 6 months ,and in the next few months,it’ll be difficult to find empty containers to deliver because all containers are in oversea ports. As China glass exporter,Morn also encountered big problem,but we keep the price for the signed contract even if we’re facing big loss,this is our promise to customers and keep the long term relationship with customers. We’re young and dynamic team,hope every customers safe and have a good harvest in 2021.

On 19th,Dec, top 30 glass processors in Guangdong province,South China,including Avic Sanxin,Grand Glass,South Bright Glass,Sunglas,had a meeting and announced a historical 45 days ultra long holiday since 15th,Jan to 28th,Feb. Following Guangdong processors,the association for Beijing/Tianjin/Hebei province，Shandong glass association,Chongqing Glass Association,Hainan glass association also announced same holiday. China Glass processors announced 45 days holiday It’s a historical time,the main purpose of the long holiday ,is to object the increasing crazy float glass price. As we mentioned in previous blog,https://www.cnmorn.com/float-glass-price-increase-in-may.html,glass price reached its lowest point since 2015,because of the covid 19 reason.Most processors didn’t start work until May or May,the huge numerous stock in float glass manufacturers caused high costs…But since May,float glass price always increasing since May and now price is almost double times that in May. The main reason for the glass price, 1st is the LNG price,LNG price increased by 4-5 times since May,because of increased energy costs,not only glass industry,all related industry,aluminium,steel,bronze etc, also had huge price increase in the past months.Recently the trailers that use LNG energy stopped works because high LNG costs… Another reason for price increasing is huge requirement.The recovery of global projects,and China new turn infrastructure construction,brought numerous order.Even though China has over 200 float glass lines,every factories stock is empty.Trailers have to wait in line for 5000 meters to wait for the new produced glass.The price is keep increasing these days and the situation has high possibility keeping till 2011. The 3rd reason,is float glass manufacturers turned the glass lines to produce solar glass which has much better profit that normal float glass.Solar glass price has been 2 times higher than before,with better profit,they prefer supplying solar glass which also have huge requirement.Now the government has limited the establishment of new float glass lines,the limited production capability will satisfy the solar glass first. Over 30 float glass manufacturers announced new price plan since 21st,Dec. The high price also forced some glass manufacturers sourcing for cheaper float glass from Middle east, over 300 containers float glass orders has been placed to Middle east whose price is about 30% cheaper than China local price.Customers are forced to turn to cheaper factories outside China,for example Turkey We believe that the 45 days long holiday won’t affect the price much,even though the float glass manufacturers might have some stocks,but after holiday,price won’t fall because the requirement does exist! On the contract,customers’ orders will be affected and delayed much ,because from placing order to delivery usually takes 20-25 days which means ,from 20th,Jan to 28th,Feb,no new ordered will be accepted by the glass processors.If customers place order on end of 2020 while factories cannot finish the glass before holiday,customers have to wait till early March ,in addition to the 30-40 days shipping time,customer may have to wait 5 months ,this will decrease customers confidence in China glass and damage China glass reputation.   In 2020,China float glass has reach the lowest point in the past 5 years and the highest point in the past decade for various reasons,as a glassman, Morn strike to keep the relationship with global customers and would like to prepare more cheap raw materials for customers.

Glass-bridge-SGP-laminated-glass Germany Standard DIN 18008-6 Glass In Building – Design And Construction Rules – Part 6 Additional Requirements For Walk-on Glaz,it a standard that test glass sustain ability after breakage,but it’s not a system standard. Recent years,many accidents happened in China bridge tourist center,to ensure the glass safety and protect tourist against from potential drop ,China issue a new standard that specialized for glass bridge:GB/T38784-2020 SUSPENDED FLOOR,STAIRS,TRAILS AND PLANK ROAD GLASS glass-staircase,glass-bridge-supplier Firstly the glass that used in glass bridge must be heat soaked.Even though low iron contains less Nis and has lower spontaneous breakage ratio,but shall also be heat soaked in glass factory to avoid potential breakage.This also help decrease the potential losses caused by glass breakage as glass replacement costs are really high and affect the turnover. Despite the most standard appearance requirement against size,holes,linear defects,dots defects,delamination,glass overlap,the standard also have a complete list to evaluate if the glass suite for bridge glass or glass floor,including: Boiling water test, 300*300mm *3 pcs. Place glass into boiling water for 2 hours,check glass edge if any bubbles or delamination,No defect over 13mm glass edge is accepted. Durability test,300*300mm *3 pcs. 480 hours lighting and  water Spray,check glass color changes and glass edge if any bubbles or delamination,same requirement as boiling water test,and light transmittance shall below 5%. Static load ,same size as the project use, 1pcs. 800kgs/sqm weight load on samples for 4 hours,check glass status,glass shall not break after test. Dynamic load,same size as the project use, 1pcs. 100kgs load drop from 300mm, 3 second interval *200 times,glass shall not break after test. 5.Impact test,1100*500mm *6pcs 5kgs cone drop from 1800mm,check glass status,At least 1 layer glass keep integrity,the back piece drop fragments total weight shall below 65cm2 glass weight. 6.Post Breakage test,same size as the project use, 4pcs. 800kgs/sqm load on glass,break the glass surface and bottom pieces,check glass collapse time.Glass sustain time shall above 1 minute Ball drop test,1100*900mm*3pcs 4.11kgs ball drop from 3000mm height, for 3 times,check glass status,At least 1 layer glass keep integrity,the back piece drop fragments total weight shall below 65cm2 glass weight. With these test that simulating the actual situation and condition of the bridge glass,customers and construction companies will know easily whether the glass suit to be installed in the bridge projects.

Recently a new glass skywalk was finished in China Guangdong province. The Glass bridge broke 8 world record: The world longest glass skywalk. The world widest glass skywalk. The world highest overhanging glass skywalk. The world longest overhanging glass skywalk. The world largest single piece glass area skywalk. The world largest round shape music falls. SGP-laminated-glass-bridge The tennis racket shape skywalk is about 160 floors high,368 meters long.The oval shape is 168 meters and become the biggest and most exciting structural glass tourist attractions in China. Glass is fragile products,but why it can be used as glass bridge on this special building that can stand 4,000 people visiting at the same time?Let’s find the reason why SGP laminated glass can be used as floor which above 500M height. The bridge consist of 10 low iron tempered+1.52SGP +10 low iron tempered+1.52SGP+10 low iron laminated glass. 1.Ultra Clear Glass- high light transmittance The light transmittance of low iron glass is over 90% ,with lower iron content in the glass,low iron glass color is extra clear ,even laminated with Dupont SGP interlayer,overall glass light transmittance is over 85%.So when you see across the glass,the real undistorted sceme will make you dizzy. 2.High strength After tempering process,glass strength can increase about 3-5 times which offers high safety. Tempered glass will break into small fragment and won’t hurt people. 3.Dupont SGP interlayer Compared with PVB interlayer,The tearing strength of SGP interlayer is 5 times higher than PVB film,even if the glass breaks,the SGP can also stick the glass and form a temporary structure while keeping small bending deformation,it can withstand a certain amount of load and whole piece laminated glass won’t fall or deform. With above advantage,SGP laminated glass usually works as structural glass and widely used in hurricane proof windows,balustrades,hurricane proof glass,glass roof,glass floor,high end glass facade,let’s check the brilliant new SGP laminated glass bridge: China-Glass-bridge-morn-BM-structural-glass-manufacturer Morn is China glass specialist ,welcome contact us if you want to know more about building glass,let’s talk about your next great building! #### China Solar glass price increased in Sep,2021 The photovoltaic panel module is a power generation device that generates directly when exposed to the sun. It is composed of thin solid photovoltaic cells almost entirely made of semiconductor materials (such as silicon). Since there are no moving parts, it can be operated for a long time without causing any loss. solar station-solar glass-China morn glass As new generation power,photovoltaic power industry is developing quite fast in China,below table shows the total power generation capability of China solar industry recently years.

Solar glass price trend -2019-2021 In the past two years, the price of photovoltaic solar glass has fluctuated sharply. In 2019, under the background of the shortage of materials and the continuous increase of new double glass modules, the price of photovoltaic glass has increase by 40%,from USD3.1/SQM toUSD4.4/SQM. In the second half of 2020, the domestic photovoltaic market demand is strong, and the supply of photovoltaic glass is insufficient, and the price has doubled, once more than USD7.8/SQM. However, since March 2021, affected by the price increase of the entire photovoltaic industry chain, terminal demand has been sluggish, the scale of new installed capacity has declined year-on-year, and the price of photovoltaic glass has instantly dropped to the level of 2019. China solar glass price-2021 According to the calculations of the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, 2021 China new installed capacity is about 55 million KW, while only 13 million KW were completed in the first half of the year. Since 2021 Sep,many solar glass manufacturers announced price increase,The average price of 3.2mm solar glass was USD4.05/SQM. the average price of 2.2mm solar was USD3.15/SQM, This is the highest average price of solar glass in the spot market since mid-May, which has risen for two consecutive weeks. tempered solar glass packing The market demand was released in next few months, and the supply of photovoltaic glass was insufficient during the same period, and the supply of photovoltaic glass will once again enter a tight balance. Solar glass price trend -2021-2025 In fact, when the price of photovoltaic glass reached high point in 2020, the industry began to  build new production lines. According to statistics released by EnergyTrend, at least 12 major photovoltaic glass expansion projects have been announced in2021, with a total investment of nearly 7 billion dollars. Solar glass production We believes that these new capacities cannot solve the short-term shortage of photovoltaic glass. The general construction period is 1.5 to 2 years. 2021 production expansion projects are not expected to be fully released until 2023, and the capacity supply situation in 2021 cannot be effectively alleviated. In the long run, from 2022 to 2023, the industry’s new capacity will be relatively large, and the expansion projects started from 2021 will be released in 2023, then the price of photovoltaic glass may decrease. It is estimated that by 2025, photovoltaic glass production capacity can meet global demand.  the production capacity of ultra-white patterned glass can reach 110,000 tons/day, which can effectively support the world’s 677 million KW requirement per year.

China-US trade war escalated!   On 5th,May,Trump suddenly had several twitter announced that USD325 billion dollards of additional goods sent to US by China will have 25% import tariff. Trade-war-China-vs-USA   Just now, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said at 12:03 (May 10) that the US officially implemented tariff increases. The US has raised the tariff of 200 billion US dollars on Chinese exports to the US from 10% to 25%, the Chinese side deeply regrets that they will have to take necessary countermeasures. The eleventh round of China-US high-level economic and trade consultations is underway. It is hoped that the US and the Chinese side will work together and work together to resolve existing problems through cooperation and consultation. It is reported that the US Customs and Border Administration (CBP) has officially issued a statement this morning, “will increase the tariff from 10% to 25 for the third batch of more than 200 billion US dollars of Chinese goods at 0:00 on May 10. %!” What deserves everyone’s attention is that according to CBP’s statement, as long as it is exported from China before May 10, even if the goods have not arrived destination port, they can still be levied at a rate of 10%! It is strongly recommended that all foreign trade freight forwarders verify the operation details with the US consignee as soon as possible! Avoid delays in goods and some unnecessary expenses! What’s included in the 200 billion list? The $200 billion list of goods can be traced back to the 195-page list issued by the US Trade Representative Office as early as July 10, 2018. Trade-war-China-vs-USA   This list covers 6031 products, accounting for 38%-46% of China’s total exports to the United States in 2017, including high-end manufacturing industries such as semiconductors, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and low-end manufacturing industries such as wood products. And consumer goods such as food and furniture. According to the threat of Washington, the United States will eventually impose a 25% tariff on nearly $600 billion of all Chinese exports to the United States. In the actual situation, this certainly cannot be done. And even if some products add taxes, it does not mean that they cannot be sold to the United States. If half of the goods cannot be exported to the United States, this estimate is already very high. #### Choose the right glass for your skylight projects Choose the right glass for your skylight projects There’re variety glass toptions that can be used in buildings,it is often confusing to decide what kind glass to be used in terms of safety, thermal and solar performance and balancing cost with the benefits. When it comes to skylight projects,what factors should be the most concern consideration ? The double glazed unit used in glass skylight should be toughened glass or heat strengthened glass.The inner pane may be toughened or laminated GLASS. DOUBLE GLAZING -insulated glass The double glazed unit used in glass skylight should be toughened glass or heat strengthened glass. The inner pane may be toughened or laminated depend on location and height above ground. If the rood skylight height don’t exceed 5 meters,double insulated glass is the most ecomonic option, If the height exceeds this, then laminated glass should be used for the inner pane. To increase the glass performance,several factors need to consider: LOW-E COATING Low emissivity coating on glass surface will decrease the thermal insulation performance,especially the U value from 2.8W/m2.k to only 1.6W/m2.k ,when combining with argon ,the typical U value of glass centre will decrease to only 1.2W/m2.k. TINTED ANTI-SUN GLASS This body tinted tempered glass are usually used as the outer pane ,the solar coefficient of body tinted glass is 0.6-0.8,but price is only slightly higher than normal float glass,which give the added benefit of reducing solar heat gain in summer season at reasonable cost. LARGE PANE ROOFLIGHTS The most common insulated glass use 4-6mm thick ,but when the skylihgt is really big,for exmaple 2000*3000mm or even larger,thicker glass shall be considers, 8mm,10mm and even 12mm,This require specialist manufacturing and installation by experienced companies with the necessary handling equipment and expertise. Much thicker toughened & laminated glass won’t deflect easily and can resist higher wind load,snow load and live load.   The double glazed unit used in glass skylight should be toughened glass or heat strengthened glass.The inner pane may be toughened or laminated GLASS. Triple glazed units Compared with double glazed units,Triple glazed units has better thermal insulation performance,when 2 low emissivity coatings are used,the U value can decrease to only 0.60W/m2.K Consideration however, the glass thickness,glass costs are much higher than double glazed units. NEUTRAL SOLAR CONTROL GLASS This has a special coating that provided improved solar control and appear more neutral in colour,the coated is our W1.1 and W1.16 ,this coating allow maximum light transmittance but with good U value.It’s recommended to use cold areas ,such as north Europe and Canada.

For glass companies, the crisis caused by the corona virus is only temporary, and the coming of the historical turning point in real estate demand is the real life and death test. 1. Historical high glass inventory. The delayed resumption of real estate affected by the corona virus has caused historical highest inventory in the China glass industry,currently the float glass stocks in China reach 4.30 million tons. According to statistics from professional organizations, the highest inventory of flat glass in the past was up to about 2.15 million tons. However, by march 5th, the statistical inventory of key enterprises nationwide has reached 4.3million tons, and the inventory is still increasing. In particular, Hebei, the main producing area, has 0.9 million tons in stock; Hubei is a key epidemic area, and it is also the main glass producing area. Inventory is also as high as 0.5million tons. China glass companies&glass processing factories are undergoing a life-and-death test caused by the covid-19 virus.   2. The major demand for float glass comes from real estate, accounting for up to 75%. Due to the nature of the work and the scattered personnel resources, the resumption of construction work is very slow. According to the survey, less than 50% construction sites have resumed work, It is expected that the resumption of work will be basically completed in early April. The pneumonia epidemic caused at least 45days of delay in the construction period. Even after workers returned to work in April, they worked overtime every day and had no weekends. It would take at least three months to fully make up for the period. 3.  The main production area, mainly transportation, and logistics almost stopped In addition to the slow resumption of work in the backlog of inventories in Hubei, another important reason is that blocked traffic caused by epidemic control. In Hubei, vehicles that were driven out were required to be quarantined for 14 days before returning, and could only return once a month, which severely affected logistics efficiency. On February 28, Shahe City, Hebei, the main glass producing area, required that vehicles that had driven out of Shahe and had visited key epidemic areas were not allowed to return; all transportation enterprises and self-employed persons in the city were not allowed to drive out of Shahe for operation without the approval of the report. This requirement has not been lifted so far, causing the glass out of Shahe to be almost stagnant. China glass companies&glass processing factories are undergoing a life-and-death test caused by the covid-19 virus.   4.  Manufacturer has lost blood for 2 months, bleeding continues Under the pressure of historically extremely high inventory, manufacturers are also trying to recruit and resolve urgent needs. Beginning last week, there have been glass companies that have decreased their prices, and various types of preferential policies to transfer inventory to middlemen and processing enterprises. The price reduction is just the beginning, and more substantial and sustained price reductions are still on the way. This is due to the continuous operation of the glass industry throughout the year, and it is difficult to reduce production capacity at the production end. Once the sales are not smooth, it can only passively accumulate storage. The inventory of most glass companies has exceeded 45 days, far exceeding the average inventory of 15 days in history; that is, the glass companies have lost nearly two months of cash flow and are still in the process of blood loss. Of course, benefiting from the reform of the national supply measurement, in the past three years, the glass industry has taken a bull market pattern, and corporate profits are relatively rich. With a strong ability to resist pressure, float factories generally has the strength to endure 2 to 3 months. In terms of demand, the peak of real estate has passed, the pneumonia epidemic has worsened the real estate, the downward trend in demand for architectural glass has arrived ahead of time,  In order to live longer, glass companies will give priority to recovering cash flow when doing the multiple-choice question of carrying inventory pressure and maintaining cash flow, and will not be overwhelmed by short-term inventory pressure. After all, the crisis is here, and survival is the first priority.

Since March, there have been outbreaks in many places in Shandong Province. Each city have successively implemented relatively strict prevention and control measures to effectively control the Covid-19, but at the same time, the production and operation of the Shandong processing factories were also been affected. Covid-19 caused glass processing factories lack of orders to keep production Covid-19 caused glass processing factories lack of orders t okeep production Under the continuous influence of emergency response and Covid-19, in addition to stopped construction site operation &slow project progress caused by capital problems, glass processors has insufficient new orders,. The low collection rate continues. Glass processing factories in Shandong is encountering hard times and tight cash flow caused by COVID-19   At the end of last year, the payment collection of glass deep-processing enterprises was generally poor. In 2021, the delayed project progress also affected the on time payment to glass processors. Some enterprises had pressure on their financial cash flow, but the capital situation of most enterprises was OK. The inventory of finished products is generally large. Finished products cannot be delivered because of customer financial problems The logistics transportation in many places is still limited,Finished product delivery in some areas are affected, the superposition project progress is slow, and the finished product inventory of most enterprises is large. Finished products cannot be delivered because of customer financial problem Highway is closed and logistic is blocked in China in Covid-19 times   Limited logistics, insufficient orders and high finished product inventory have led some enterprises to actively or passively slow the production schedule , and maintain personnel stability. More details: 1.Order reserve: the reserve orders are scarce and few new project inquiry Among the 35 enterprises surveyed, half processors has orders than support 10-15 days production; Less than 10 enterprises with a sales volume of more than one month; The order volume of the remaining 10 enterprises is about one week, and a few enterprises are less than one week. There are relatively sufficient orders for industrial glass, home decoration and foreign trade. Production: Production capability is not satisfied. More than 40% of the enterprises surveyed are in rotation mode. Small and medium-sized enterprises can achieve single shift normal production due to small production capacity, and some enterprises use night shift for tempering production. 3.Inventory: the inventory of float glass is slightly insufficient, and the inventory of finished products is generally large. The Covid-19 in many places caused locked down cities and factories.The logistics transportation is blocked, the freight costs increases, and the purchase channel is limited. Most enterprises mainly consume the early inventory, and the number of new purchases is small; Recently, the locked down in many places has been gradually released, and the logistics is gradually recovering. On the premise that the epidemic situation will not be repeated, normal operation will resume in May. Most enterprises have a large inventory of finished products, which is mainly due to the epidemic situation and financial problems. The construction site is not in urgent need, resulting in the backlog of finished products in the processing plant; Some enterprises organize production according to the order delivery date to control the finished product inventory. 4.Funds and Accounts Receivable: Most companies are in good financial condition and have increased risk awareness Most of the surveyed companies reported that their capital situation was good, and they were basically able to make cash on hand, and only had a certain amount of credit for some old customers. Through customer credit classification control, control of deposit, advance payment, contract performance, and try to control potential risks. 5.Insufficient orders lead to the phenomenon of grabbing orders at low prices. At present, there is a shortage of orders. In order to maintain production, there have been some phenomena of grabbing orders at low prices. Although there are difficulties in phased operation, it is hoped that all enterprises will still ensure a reasonable profit space, maintain a reasonable price level, strengthen self-discipline and overcome difficulties.   In the past two years, the real estate has fully entered the stage of great changes in the pattern and reshuffle of the industry, and the large-scale demand for glass no longer exist. In addition, the industry itself, the extension and acceleration of the industrial chain of production enterprises, the prominent advantages of large and medium-sized processing enterprises and full competition lead to the picky choice of the demand side, superimposing the catalytic effect of the epidemic, and the reshuffle of the glass deep processing industry may be accelerated. Enterprises that do not have advantages in products, funds, sales channels, material costs, quality and other aspects have worse anti risk ability. In the environment of shrinking demand, intensifying competition and upgrading customers, the marginal effect of survival is getting smaller and smaller. At present, the prosperity of the industry is low, and enterprises encounter difficulties in operation. Enterprises should do a good job in internal management, reasonably control costs, improve personnel skills through training and learning, and improve work efficiency, so as to prepare for full production after the start of the market; Based on long-term considerations, enterprises should clearly judge the future industry trend, clarify their own advantages and disadvantages, focus on survival and development, make reasonable medium and long-term planning, continuously enhance competitiveness and anti risk ability, and lay the foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises. Under this hard times,many exporters and manufacturers has turnt to other new glass products,for example HaanGlas has started vacuum glass business,others are also developing home decoration projects to ultimate discovering the market requirement. #### Creative glass- Organic laminated glass When you decorate your house,it is inevitable to recombine and subdivide to make doors and partitions to take advantage every space of the house.In the past, many home decorations used traditional clear glass, which will not affect the indoor lighting effect, and will also make the room more spacious. But now, with the improvement of people’s aesthetics, more and more people begin to pursue more diversified and novel decoration materials.Beside clear glass ,organic laminated glass was invented and widely applied in the decoration works,it’s more aesthetic than ordinary glass, and has high strength resistance. organic laminated glass decorative glass in facade-3 What’s organic laminated glass? Organic laminated glass,judged from its name,it’s a kind of laminated glass,but glass manufacturers can laminated many organics with unique patterns to make the glass not clear,whether its frosted effect,gradient effect,or translucent effect,lines,dots,thousands of pattern organic options can be laminated inside the glass to make the glass different. organic options for laminated glass organic options-MORN Different from normal PVB laminated glass,organic laminated glass use EVA  interlayer which has much better fluidity,during the laminating process,the EVA interlayer will be melt and combine with organics and combine glass permanently. eva laminated glass production-MORN Features of organic laminated glass? Thousands of pattern options. Organic manufacturers produce and supply thousands options.Actually they produce in many different methods,whether it’s UV print directly on the EVA  interlayer,or manufacture by weaving machines,customers can also design their own patterns . Low costs. Compared with ceramic fritted glass,digitally printed glass,the costs of organic laminated glass is much lower. Silk screen glass can only achieve 1-2 colors on glass surface,the patterns are only limited. Digitally printed glass production efficiency is low,price is 3-4 times that of organic laminated glass,even though it can also print any patterns or images on glass surface,but some low quality machines printing effect is very low. Widely applications. The organic laminated glass main application is glass shower doors,glass partitions,and other interior decoration works,but with the development of EVA  interlaters,now organic laminated glass can be used in glass facade or curtain wall. Good decorating effect. The decorative effect is very good, with impact resistance, very light and thin, does not affect lighting and ventilation, and is not easy to rust. Safety Glass If the laminated glass is accidentally hit by a heavy impact, the glass will not be collapse, but will stick to the steel wire or spun silk, which is ensures safety. organic laminated glass partition-3 Applications of organic laminated glass Here we share some application of the organic laminated glass. 1.Glass Partition ,multi pieces laminated glass can be combined to make a ultra long images.You will find that there are many brushed lines on the surface and inside of the laminated glass, which looks very beautiful. The indoor layout presents a looming hazy beauty, but the light will not be completely blocked. organic laminated glass partition-2 organic laminated glass partition-1 2.Glass Door,whether it’s entrance doors,interior door,cabinet doors,furniture doors,organic laminated glass plays a good role decorating your house. Organic laminated glass appied in glass doors 3.Glass facade,with the development of EVA production technology,EVA fluidity problem was solved,now EVA interlayer bonding strength won’t decrease in outdoor high temperature,so large panel EVA organic laminated glass in outdoor is possible. organic laminated glass decorative glass in facade-2 organic laminated glass decorative glass in facade-4 organic laminated glass in interior decoration projects 4.Glass shower doors,normal shower door glass are clear transparent glass,for high end hotels,customers choose organic laminated glass to create the high grade feeling and unique environment. The natural light is introduced through the transparent material to create a bright visual effect, while also avoiding the defect of ordinary transparent glass that cannot guarantee privacy. organic laminated glass applied in glass shower door Other creative laminated glass products Gradient effect laminated glass Actually beside the organic laminated glass,China glass manufacturers can also print images on PET films and make them with patterns,for example gradient laminated glass for shower doors,or for conference rooms to keep privacy. gradient effect laminated glass in shower door-frosted glass gradient laminated glass application in shower door Dichroic glass Dichroic film is produced by 3M,including Chill and blaze,2 options,when people see the glass from different angles,glass color will change as well. dichroic glass railings PDLC smart switchable glass Smart glass,or switchable glass is widely used in indoor conference room,shower rooms,office privacy protection and many other projects,it’s now a very popular new glass that can protect privacy and create secret environment. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/PDLC-smart-glass-effect-morn.mp4 Morn work with China glass manufacturers and supply all kinds of privacy glass,decorative glass for your glass projects,welcome contact us if you got any questions or requirement.

Different from normal flat glass,curved glass has special shape.After heating the pre-processed float glass (cutting and grinding to the required size)  to the softening temperature, and then relying on glass weight or external force to make the glass into a non-planar shape that matches the mold in various specific molds. annealing process is followed to form glass final strength. Based on the production methods and features,curved glass can be classified into hot bending glass,and heat treated curved glass. Curved glass Production methods: Hot bending glass,is produced with hot bending machine,glass will be heated to softening point,form the required shape with mould and cooling down in room temperature. glass hot bending machine As there’s no fasting cooling down process,hot bending glass strength is same as float glass,meanwhile the glass can be made into any shape based on the different mould,It’s widely used in interior glass tables,glass shelves,glass cabinets . hot bending glass products-MORN Different from hot bending glass tempered curved glass heating and cooling process is finished with tempering furnace.The fast heating and fast cooling process will form compressive stress on glass surface. When the glass is subject to external force,the surface stress is been counteract first to improve the bearing capability and enhance the glass strength. Same as flat tempered glass ,curved tempered glass also has high strength and will break into small particles once broken and avoid potential injury to people. With the development of tempering technology,now tempered curved glass can be divided into:cylindrical bend tempering,Asymmetrical bend tempering,hyperbolic bending glass,double curved glass,and even multi-curved tempered glass. tempered curved glass application Curved glass processed with tempering furnace can be heat strengthened,toughened ,and heat soaked,the only difference between flat tempered glass is just the shape. Tempered curved glass can be divided into longitudinal bending and lateral bending. Lateral bending,the glass max height is the tempering furnace width,finished glass are used for shower doors,house appliance etc where has high appearance requirement.   Compared with lateral bending,as the contact area between roller squeezer and glass is much bigger,longitudinal bending furnace radius is always bigger than laternal ones,and the bending effect is not good as well. Curved glass application: Curved tempered glass has below features: Various glass substrates option:Clear,Low iron,body tinted glass,acid etched,low-E coated glass. Silk screen,digitally printing process can be applied on glass surface to add extra design element. Curved glass can further been processed into laminated curved glassto offer extra acoustic ,UV protection,and safety function. Curved glass can further been processed into insulated curved glasspanels to offer extra thermal insulation performance. curved insulated glass for export Curved glass gives architects and designers freedom to create aesthetically pleasing curved glazed facades where straightness, corners and edges can be enhanced with soft curves. These curves can be in the form of simple cylindrical shapes to the more complex 3D free form shapes. The newest project that shows the excellent visual effect on glass facade is Predry Manhattan west hotel,The wavy glass curtain wall is now fully installed on the northern and southern elevations of the 281-foot-tall Pendry Manhattan West Hotel. The glass facade use 4500sqm curved insulated glass,1700pieces with minimum 1450mm radius.

The most famous colorful PVB brand is Vanceva,Vanceva offers thousands color options which offers unlimited creative freedom to architects and designers,Vanceva also launched “world of color awards” to promote the most featured projects with Vanceva PVB products. Case study 1:Rainbow glass cliff China Glass bridge-vanceva glass floor -glass balustrade The project is located in Beijing east lake harbor canyon,glass processed by Beijing Guanhua East. The glass sky-walk was built in a height of 600 meters,total length 1200 meters with 128M color laminated glass glass bridge. Glass Combination: 15 + RB71 +15 low iron heat soaked laminated glass for glass floor. 6 + RB41 +6 low iron heat soaked laminated glass for glass balcony. glass bridge in Beijing-Vanceva laminated glass The rainbow glass cliff attract over 500,000 visitors per year to overlooking canyon. Meanwhile,In Southwest China and Southeast China,another 2 tourist attraction adopted similar design,rainbow glass steps and glass skywalk was built to attract more visitors. Colorful PVB laminated glass for glass bridge in Southwest China Vanceva PVB laminated glass stairs in China Morn Comment: Compared with traditional clear glass, The colorful glass stairs and glass steps does decrease the visitors’ sense of fear when walking on the skylight,people are more willing to take pictures on it. Architects and designers should be aware that,these glass steps and sky-walk have limited size,glass width are always less than 1000mm and unit area below 1.5sqm,the design purpose and glass application don’t allow large crowds. Whether it’s Vanceva and other China PVB brands,the colorful interlayer are ultimately PVB,whose shearing modulus and strength is much lower than SGP interlayer,especially in outdoor high temperature application. PVB laminated glass can be applied in temporary short time stay,for large glass panels ,please always select high strength multi layer SGP structural laminated glass. Case 2:OVO green square,Sydney OVO green square in Sydney-colorful glass facade OVO ,The 28-storey ellipsoid-shaped tower, located on the corner of Bourke and Ebsworth streets, will be home to more than 600 new residents. The project facade is made with 1,800 panels in 134 different shapes and 17 different colours. Glass Combination: 16,000SQM. 6 low iron with ceramic frit HS +12A+ 6mm low iron HS 6mm Low-iron HS+1.52mm Vanceva PVB+6mm Low-iron HS OVO -insulated glass and laminated panels Morn Comment: The OVO glass colorful glass facade makes the building unique and become a new landmark in Sydney.Even though most colorful panels are insulated glass with colorful silk screen,Vanceva accounts little part of the facade,but the building does shows the color’s decoration function in glass facade. Why the glass facade don’t use colorful laminated glass? The biggest reason is glass costs.Colorful laminated glass panel price is 30-50% higher than clear laminated glass,which cause glass facade over-budget. Even though architects and designer prefers to using multi colors in one projects,problem is,each package colorful PVB interlayers container 600-800 square meters,multi colors means multi raw materials purchasing and preparing,it’s difficult for glass factories to use the balance interlayer for other projects.So the more colors,the higher laminated glass price. High rise building in Shanghai Modern energy efficient glass facade always choose high performance double silver low-E,triple silver low-E on glass panels,even if the facade combination is laminated insulated glass,clear PVB always has the highest priority,If applying colorful PVB in the exterior laminated glass, low-E coating reflective colors (typically blue or silver grey color)  will cause color interference with PVB colors and made laminated glass lost its color characters. Colorful laminated glass are always used for facade louvers or decoration works that don’t need energy efficiency. Yangzheng nursery school Yangzheng nursery school located in West China also use colorful lami for interior and exterior decoration works to fit the building education application. Honorable Mention project with colorful glass louver Honorable Mention project in Northern Ireland select multi colorful Vanceva laminated glass for the glass louvers. Actually despite the strong decoration function of color laminated glass, the colorful interlayers also works to decrease glass solar shading coefficient,some laminated glass sheets use grey,bronze,green colors to decrease glass light transmittance with the lowest costs,these laminated sheets always use China local brands whose price is just 1/3 – 1/5 that of international brands. colorful laminated glass options-Morn In some cases,translucent and opaque PVB interlayers protect peoples privacy.The translucent interlayer allow light transmit the glass but the translucent don’t allow people see clearly,the glass is widely used in glass doors,shower doors,windows and glass facades. translucent laminated glass windows&doors-Morn Conclusion: Colorful laminated glass price is generally higher than normal clear laminated,the more colors,the higher price. Colorful laminated glass has strong decoration function,but cannot be used on same glass panels with low-E coatings. Colorful laminated glass can help decrease glass SC ,work as solar barriers. Translucent PVB &opaque pvb laminated glass protect people’s privacy. Morn is your turnkey laminated glass manufacturer from China,welcome contact us for your next laminated glass requirement.

Both silk screen glass and back printed glass are widely used in interior and exterior decoration,they have similar appearance,especially when glass is fully silk screened. SILK SCREEN GLASS The difference between back painted glass&silk screen glass. 1.Thee function difference. Silk screen glass a.Compared with bricks,stones,ceramic tilts,silk screen glass is cheap and simple. b.Various colors and patterns.It can be silk screened with various colors to match the curtain wall color. c.Easy cleaning.No absorption,no color changing. d.The non-organic inks will not fall or fade after installation,the colors won’t change and last long time. e.The silk screen surface and absorb and reflect certain solar energy and energy efficient. f.Silk screen glass are all heat treated glass,after tempering or hat strengthened,the glass strength will increase much. g.The silk screen glass can be further processed,such as laminating,coating,insulating process. silk screen glass supplier   Back painted glass a.Excellent waterproof, acid and alkali resistance. b.Excellent anti slip performance. c.High bonding strength and won’t fade. d.Various color options. e.Easy cleaning. BACK PAINTED GLASS   2.Other difference. Silk screen glass ,the non-organic inks will be melt and bond together with the glass surface after tempering process. The high temperature in tempering furnace 680-720 degree will guarantee the color won’t fad or fall from glass surface. Back painted glass:It use low temperature inks,the heating process use only 100-150 degress .The paint just bond on glass surface ,so the paint will fall if we scratch with sharp corners. 3.Price. Silk screen glass process include cutting-polishing-silk screen-tempering ,so it price is usually USD6-8/SQM higher  than tempered glass. Back painted glass don’t contain the tempering process,and the painting fees is lower than silk screen process,so the price is much cheaper than silk screen glass. 4.Silk screen glass cannot be cut after tempering process,it’s suitable for exterior cladding application ,while back painted glass can be cut,and process at suit to suit different requirement. back painted glass   Generally speaking,silk screen glass is widely used in exterior especially curtain wall,while back painted glass is used in interior ,shower rooms,cabinet,furniture.

As the name suggests, laminated glass is composed of multiple layers of glass. Except for the glass, the interlayer in the middle of the glass. Usually there are three kinds of interlayers: EVA, PVB, SGP. PVB PVB is a widely used sandwich material for architectural glass and automotive glass. The storage process and processing method of PVB interlayer is more complicated than EVA, and the requirements for temperature and humidity are high. When PVB is processed, the temperature is controlled between 18 °C and 23 °C, the relative humidity is controlled at 18-23%, and the PVB water content is maintained at 0.4%-0.6%. After preheating rolling or vacuuming, The autoclave was used for heat preservation and pressure keeping, the autoclave temperature was 120-130 ° C, the pressure was 1.0-1.3 MPa, and the time was 30-60 min. PVB complete sets of production equipment requires about 1 million funds, which is difficult for small businesses. A few years ago, it was mainly produced by DuPont, Solutia, and Sekisui. The China PVB was mainly recycled materials for secondary processing, but the quality stability was not very good. In recent years, China PVB manufacturers are also having great development. pvb-laminated-glass-production-morn   PVB has good safety, sound insulation, transparency and UV resistance, but PVB has poor water resistance, and it is easy to delaminated when it is in a humid environment for a long time. laminaed-glass-production-line-morn   EVA EVA ‘s cost performance is higher. Compared with PVB and SGP, EVA has better fluidity, lower melting temperature and can be processed at temperatures up to 110 °C. EVA has a good fluidity of the film layer, and can be subjected to a process such as wire drawing and engraving in the film layer to produce a beautiful decorative glass with a pattern and a pattern. EVA has good water resistance, but its UV resistance is weak. It is easy to yellow and black in long-term sun exposure, so it is mainly used for indoor partitions EVA-LAMINATED-GLASS-PRODUCTION-MORN   SGP SGP is called the ionic interlayer film (SentryGlas Plus), which is a high-performance interlayer developed by DuPont. Its high performance is: 1. Excellent mechanical properties and high strength. At the same thickness, the SGP interlayer bearing capacity is twice that of PVB; under the same load and thickness, the bending deflection of SGP laminated glass is one quarter of PVB; 2, tear strength. At the same thickness, the PVB interlayer film has a tear strength of 5 times that of PVB, and can be bonded to the glass in the case of tearing without causing the entire glass to fall. 3, strong stability, moisture resistance. SGP laminated glass is colorless and transparent, anti-ultraviolet. After long-term sun and rain, it is not easy to turn yellow, and the yellowing coefficient is less than 1.5. However, the yellowing coefficient of PVB interlayer film is 6~12. Therefore, SGP is the darling of ultra-white laminated glass. SGP-laminated-glass-walkway-morn   Although the production process of SGP is close to PVB, the terminal price is high. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/PVB-LAMI-VS-SGP-LAMINATED-GLASS.mp4 Morn is your turnkey architectural China glass supplier,PVB laminated glass for glass curtain wall,and SGP laminated glass used for structural glazing are both available.Welcome contact us for more info.

The single,double,triple here means the silver layers quantity, the low-E coating is made with multi layers metallized layers which has different functions,for example some layers protect the silver layer,some layers decide the color and SHGC,while silver layer is the most important part that reflect the solar radiation and decide the final low-E coating energy efficiency.The more silver layers,the higher LSG and better capability transforming solar heat to lights that doesn’t contain heat. 1.LSG. LSG is the ratio between the glass light transmittance and SHGC.   Double silver low e has relatively lower SHGC than triple silver low e based on same light transmittance. The LSG of single silver low e is around 1.4,while double silver one can be over 1.6-2,triple silver low e LSG can reach 2.2 or even more.

In addition, there is no direct radiation to the crop.even the smallest ray of sunshine was optimally distributed and the available light was used to the full.Thanks to this advantage,the unit production efficiency is around 10% higher than other normal greenhouse. diffused glass used in greenhouse,the unit production efficiency is around 10% higher than other normal greenhouse.Morn supply greenhouse diffused glass. Several scientist conducted a test to research and examine the effects of a variation in haze factors and light transmissions for diffuse glass or a diffuse coating on the growth and production of tomato. The influence of diffuse glass with a haze factor of 45, 62 and 71% and light transmission equal to or greater than that of standard glass, as well as standard glass with a commercial coating with a haze factor of 50% and 6% less light transmission than that of standard glass was compared to that of standard glass. The crops were planted mid-December 2010 and grown to the middle of November 2011. The influence of diffuse light on light interception, crop morphology, photosynthesis and growth was measured and analysed. Light penetrated deeper into the crop resulting in a higher photosynthetic capacity in the lower canopy, but only in winter. Tomato grown under diffuse glass was more generative, transferring more into fruit production than vegetative growth, in comparison to standard glass or coated glass. The production under the three diffuse glass coverings showed a 7-9% increase in June relative to that under standard glass, and retained this increased production to the end of the year, ending with 8-11% more production. The most important reason for the increased production was an increase in individual fruit weight by 5-8 g. Plants grown under diffuse glass or coating were less susceptible to Botrytis spp. during the last months of the crop, possibly due to a higher dry matter content. The coating was applied in the beginning of May and the treatment continued through August when the global radiation diminished and more light was necessary in the crop and the coating was removed. The overall production under the coating was 5% higher than that under standard glass. An estimation of the benefits and consequences of diffuse light characteristics on the growth, development and production of tomato under Dutch conditions are discussed, along with recommendations for the optimal characteristics for diffuse glass. The result shows both diffused glass,and anti reflective coating will increase fruit and vegetable production,so new a new combination,diffused glass with AR coating now is selected by more and more growers and greenhouse designers. greenhouse-glass-supply Morn is China greenhouse glass manufacturer and supplier,we fabricate and supply below greenhouse worldwide: Clear/Low iron Tempered glass Diffused glass -30%,50% ,70% haze Diffused glass with double side anti-reflective coating Welcome contact us anytime for our next great greenhouse project.

Digitally printed glass VS UV printed glass Digitally printed glass is from Israel company –DipTech,their machine allow glass processors print whatever patterns they want on glass surface,especially pictures with multi complex colors.As alternative of silk screen glass that can be used on exterior decoration works,more and more clients choose digitally printed glass on the curtain wall and cladding works to make the building unique. The biggest advantage of digitally printed glass is ,the inks used is ceramic powders,after tempering process,the ink will bond with glass permanently and won’t fade,cannot be removed from glass surface,it can be made into PVB/SGP laminated glass,insulated glass,While the shortage is the printed patterns color is not shine,so it’s suitable for large panels and view from far distance.While if clients want to change the patterns,they’ll have to change the whole glass facade,it’s not convenient and costs very high.   Many China machine factories developed similar function printing machine,but the precison,color cannot match with DipTech.   UV printed glass,it’s low temperature inks,cannot stand the high temperature even the temperature of autoclave furnace.Compared with digitally printed glass,UV printed patterns is more bright colored and more beautiful,the pattern can be printed directly on tempered glass, or on a film that is widely used in light box ads and been laminated inside EVA laminated glass. UV printed glass is more suitable for interior decoration,especially glass floor,partition,doors,tabletops etc,low costs and easy to process.The disadvantage is EVA lami cannot be used as exterior glass,the strength is relatevely lower than PVB laminated glass.   Morn is your turnkey digitally printed glass manufacturer and supplier from China,whether it’s interior UV printed glass or exterior digitally printed glass,Morn can always offer the best,let’s work on your next great building.

Most insulated glass use aluminium spacer,stainless steel spacer,and warm edge spacer . Quanex company in Houstin,Texas designs and produces energy-efficient fenestration products,the most famous products are warm edge spacers used in insulated glass which can decrease the glass edge thermal conductivity significantly -It’s Duralite and Super spacer,which are the most typical products stands for single seal spacers and dual seal spacers. Duralite is an insulated glass edge seal system constructed which is made with unique Composite Laminating Technology. Duralite is pre-assembled with necessary insulated glass sealing components, including sealant, spacer and desiccant to create a high-performance durable single seal spacer system. Quanex’s Super Spacer® Standard, featuring Polymer EPDM (Ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer) construction, dependably delivers high performance for insulating glass units, including excellent resistance to ozone, weathering, water and aging, while maintaining its flexibility through wide changes in temperature and barometric pressure. The main difference between Duralite and Super spacer are:Duralite works as single seal spacers,it’s not necessary to have secondary sealant,but for some big panels,polysulfide polysulphie  sealant will be used to enhance the IGU structural performance. Super spacer must have secondary hot melt buytl to have better water and air tightness. The production of both warm edge spacer can be viewed here: Grills or,decorative bars inside glass are available to get better visual appearance. Glass lite are standard but not limited to clear glass,low iron glass,low e glass,hard coated low e glass,triple silver low e glass to meet different energy efficient requirement. More and more oversea clients are sourcing professional China warm edge spacer glass manufacturers,but in most cases,the factories producing warm edge IGU are mostly produce decorative glass.There’s no large scale factories specializing in producing warm edge spacer IGU. Morn will invest in this new insulated glass and introduce dual straight lines to produce the warm edge spacer insulated glass,the equipment will include: Washing machine,transit lines,insulating line,hot pressing lines. DURALITE® WARM-EDGE SPACER REDUCE CONDENSATION FOR A CLEAR VIEW,SUPERIOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE,DURABLE AND LONG LASTING,DURALITE IMPROVES THE GLASS U-FACTOR Soon Morn will be able to manufacture and supply below products： Duralite warm edge spacer insulated glass Duraseal warm edge spacer insulated glass Super spacer insulated glass Other warm edge spacer insulated glass.

Download this article here:Extra-optional-function-of-smart-bathroom-mirror #### Factors affect insulated glass performance Factors affect insulated glass performance factors-affect-insulated-glass-performance–morn 1. The spacer thickness: mainly by controlling the thickness to avoid the formation of turbulent airflow inside the insulated glass, the cold and hot airflow of the control gas interfere with each other, or control the airflow of the rising and falling air to interfere with each other to control the flow of the heat convection. 2.Gas type and humidity inside insulated glass: The inert gas filled in the interior of the insulated glass can reduce the heat insulation and sound insulation of the insulated glass. For example,filled argon gas and sulfur fluoride can improve the heat insulation and sound insulation performance; the moisture content inside the glass will cause internal condensation or even water, which will affect the aesthetic effect of the insulated glass, and will increase the conduction heat transfer coefficient of the insulated glass and reduce the heat insulation effect. 3. Edge sealing: On the one hand, if the edge of the insulated glass is not well sealed, the proportion of water vapor entering the interior of the insulated glass through the sealing layer will increase, and the speed of failure of the insulated glass will also increase. Any product, no matter how good its initial performance, however, its life is very short, such a product can not be said to be a good product; on the other hand, if the edge material of the insulated glass has good thermal conductivity, then pass The heat transfer of the sealant connected to the glass at the edge of the insulated glass is relatively large, and the heat coefficient of the insulated glass is improved, and the heat insulating performance is decreased. 4. Thermal Transmittance of Glass: In the above analysis, we can understand that convection and conduction heat transfer through insulated glass can be basically controlled by reasonable space layer design and construction. The heat transfer of the insulated glass is mainly carried out by means of radiation heat transfer. If clear glass with high transmittance and low reflectivity is used, the insulating performance of the insulated glass is higher than that of the coated glass with high reflection and low transmittance or Low- E glass is much lower. 5. Glass size: Increasing the area of the insulated glass can reduce the heat loss per unit area of ​​the insulated glass and improve the overall heat insulation effect of the insulated glass. insulated-glass-manufacturer-morn-building-materials   Morn is your turnkey insulated glass supplier,we offer all kinds of insulated glass with high quality meeting ASTM,SGCC,IGCC,EN1279 certificates,welcome contact us for more info. Download this article here:Factors-affect-insulated-glass-performance #### Factors affect insulated glass price from China Insulated glass,double glazed units from China is usually cheaper than oversea glass manufacturers,before purchasing insulating glass from China,customers should know clearly the factors that affect the insulated glass price.Here we introduce the factors that all affect the insulated glass price,so customers can evaluate whether it’s worthwhile to purchase glass products from China. As insulated glass is customized products,its glass configuration,sizes,quantity are different based on different project requirement,beside the basic insulated glass itself,the shipping costs,taxes ,quantity ,processing difficulty,inland logistic costs caused price difference. Post Guideline: Glass Combination     A:  Glass tempered or not    B.Low-E coatings            C.Glass thickness  D.Glass final combinations  E.Glass colors Glass Size                      A.Glass size too big.              B.Glass size too small.    C.Glass size irregular Materials used in insulating glass   A.Spacer  B.Secondary sealant  C.Argon filled insulated glass D.Additional treatment of insulated glass. Other factors affect insulating glass price  A.Glass packing and loading.  B.Forwarder fees and shipping costs.  C.Glass broken&replacement Glass Combination Facade companies will have a brief project technical specification which contains the basic glass info used in the project,including glass standards,glass configuration,glass thickness, and insulating performance data such as light transmittance,U value,Solar coefficient. Based on these info we’ll know clearly the general insulating glass types,whether it’s insulating glass with high performance low-E coatings, laminated insulating glass,or insulated laminated glass. After factory get this info,factories will analysis the performance requirement and find the matched low-E coatings with specified light transmittance,U value and SC values. Generally the more complex glass configuration,the higher price,here we give a general idea of the price used in projects: A.Glass tempered or not: Heat treated glass -tempered glass,heat strengthened glass increase glass safety and help glass to resist high wind pressure,load pressure ,the price for tempering process is about USD0.3/MM.for example 6-12-6 mm insulating glass tempering costs is USD0.3 *(6+6)=USD3.6/SQM. Because the existing of Nis in tempered glass and the shortage of tempered glass,there’s always spontaneous breakage after glass installation,which brings high maintenance and replacement costs.Heat soaking test is good solution to test the toughened glass and reduce the probability of self-explosion and ensure quality,the shattering proof process is used for high requirement projects.Learn more about glass spontaneous breakage.To avoid the glass self explosion after installation and save replacement and maintenance costs,heat soak process is recommended after tempering process,the heat soaked glass costs is same as tempering process, USD0.3/MM. Self-exploded glass For curved glass,as curved tempered glass production can only be tempered piece by piece,adjusting the tempering furnace to make it match requirement also takes times,so curved glass tempering costs is USD1/MM. B.Low-E coatings: Additional coatings on glass surface and control the light transmittance and the solar energy penetrate the glass,as well as the solar coefficient,according to different coating types,the coatings can be divided into several types: Coating Types Additional Costs Solar Reflective Coating USD2/SQM Single Silver low-E coating USD2/SQM Double Silver low-E coating USD4/SQM Triple Silver low-E coating USD14/SQM High performance low-E coatings is highly recommended wherever the project is located in,the low-E coatings will reflect the far infrared heat outside in summer ,and reflect the interior heat inside in winter and decrease the energy used .Even though the glass price is higher when building the project,the investment will be returned after only 1-2 years. lowe glass Newly developed passive house glass,contains 3 layers glass panels containing 2 layers double silver low-E coatings,the glass U value can reach to only 0.6W/M2.k,in summer,there’s no necessary to open the air conditioners and in winter,no necessary to heat the room,click here to see how low U value the insulated glass can reach: https://mornglass.com/whats-the-best-u-value-of-insulated-glass.html   C.Glass thickness: Thicker glass has better sound control performance,and when glass sizes comes big,it’s also necessary to use thicker glass to increase the glass facade wind resistance and also,glass live load. The glass thickness and price is related to the float glass,thicker glass, has higher weight,and of course higher price.In 2020,May,float glass price in China reached its lowest points in the past decade,float glass price was just USD 185/MT &USD300/MT, with the recovery of global projects,float glass price increased in the past year and now has been double times than in May,2020.See our previous blog about float glass price. D.Glass final combination. Some projects require laminated insulated,insulated glass,and triple glazed units,which will make the glass thicker and with better performance.Please contact the manufacturers or glass suppliers to check the final price. E.Glass Colors. Normal insulated glass is clear glass,while some projects require special colors,such as green color,golden color,bronze color,all these special colors are decided by the glass colors and the low-E coatings,in these cases the price is about 10% higher than normal glass,see why? The processing is much more difficult and replacement is more expensive. green-low-E-coated-glass 2.Glass sizes. a.Glass size too big. Glass factories quotation is usually based on sizes below 2440*3660mm,if glass size too big,especially for some over sized glass,point supported glass is usually over 4000mm,in that case,processors has to bespoke raw materials from float glass manufacturers. The longer the glass,the higher price it is.Morn can supply jumbo size insulated glass up to 13000*3000mm insulated glass panels for your projects. b.Glass size too small. If glass panels size below 0.5sqm,factories will charge it as 0.5sqm.Why? Let’s take insulated glass as example,the silicon sealant consumption is calculated by the glass perimeter,not the glass size. If glass size is 1000*1000mm,and another piece 330*3000mm,the later one silicon consumption is 60% higher than former one,which will cause price higher.And tempered glass,5 pcs 500*500mm glass has same area as 1 pcs 1250*1000mm,while the labor costs is almost 3 times that of later one. c.Glass size irregular: Every facade project has it unique shape and design,which will cause many different glass size.while standard glass panel size is 2140/2400*3300/3660mm.Cutting ratio is over 85%,while for some special glass panels,such as 1400*1400, if using normal standard glass panels,the cutting ratio is only 55%,it’s 30% price difference. d.Glass size types. If one project contain 100 glass sizes ,this will bring much extra labors during processing,including handling,cutting,etc.if only 10 sizes ,this will save much costs and decrease price also. In this case processors has to bespoke special size float glass to increase the glass cutting ratio and avoid wastage.While if quantity is very small,there’s no method but to accept the high price. Many factors affect glass price,so please consider standard sizes such as 1200*1200/2400/3600 etc to decrease the glass processing difficulty and guarantee the delivery time. 3.Materials used in Insulating glass A.Spacer:  To ensure the long lifetime and good thermal insulation performance,the edges must be sealed strictly to keep the space between glass panels.The spacer’s function are:keep insulated glass structural safety,insulate the IGU internal space.The spacer materials are: Warm edge spacer -INSULATED GLASS Aluminium Spacer:Traditional spacers used in the IGU are usually aluminium spacer,the disadvantage is high thermal conductivity. Stainless steel spacer:thermal conductivity lower than Aluminium,Stainless steel spacer has difficult in bending,so factories have to use steel connector to join the spacers,which make production efficiency quite low.So this is not widely used in IGU fabricators. Thermal break spacers, spacer compose metal and plastic materials.The main brands are Alupro,Technoform,Fenzi,Lisec. The is the most widely used warm edge spacers.compared with non-metal materials,this kind spacer price is better and more convenient in production. Non-metal materials,such as superspacer, TPS,glass fiber stripes.The main brands are QUANEX,they have series products that compose the butyl,desiccant,and structural sealant, so secondary structural sealant is not necessary.But because there’s no high efficiency production lines that can produce this kind of insulated glass,the promotion and market for non-metal materials spacers are very limited. Aluminium spacer is the most traditional and cheap spacer options,warm edge spacer from technoform,Fenzi is 4-5 times that of normal aluminium spacer,while Quanex warm edge spacer is even more expensive. B.Secondary sealant: There’s two kinds sealants used in insulated glass:Structural sealant & polysulfide sealant. Polysulfide sealant:Excellent resistance to high&low temperature and sealing performance. Structural silicon Sealant: High elasticity and high modulus,long lifetime,better structural performance Normal silicon sealant,usually used for small sized windows. The price of different secondary sealant is polysulfide sealant < silicon sealant <structural silicon sealant. structural-sealant-insulated-glass-sealant Different brand sealant price also varies, international sealant brands such as Dow Corning,Sika price is 3-4 times that of China brands-Lingzhi,Guibao,Silande, while China brand sealant quality is also trustworthy and has higher cost performance. Despite the secondary sealant types,the sealant depth also affect price.China standards allows min 5mm secondary sealant,while for international brands,the standard sealant depth is 12mm and even thicker. C.Argon filled insulated glass. Argon is a kind of inert gas, which has colorless, odorless, non-toxic properties and stability. In air, its content is about 1%, and is the most economical inert gas compared with helium and neon. Argon is usually been filled in the insulated glass to increase the glass thermal insulation performance,let’s take example of single silver low-E + Clear insulated glass, argon content increase from 0-100%,the glass U value decrease from 1.86 to 1.59,for triple silver low-E glass, U value decrease from 1.64 to 1.34.The argon doesn’t affect SC value,LT value and can decrease glass U value significantly. china insulated glass manufacturer-morn bm The argon filled insulated glass can improve the thermal insulation performance and sound insulation performance of the insulated glass, reduce the dew point of the insulated glass, prevent oxidation of the coated glass, and reduce the amount of failure of the insulated glass due to the stress . Maintaining argon gas that has been filled into the interior of the double glazed units glass for a long time is very beneficial for maintaining good performance of the insulated glass and prolonging the life of the insulated glass (more than 15 years). The price of argon filling is USD1.5/SQM. D.Additional treatment of insulated glass. There’re many additional processing on glass to suite the facade design and installation purpose,the most common additional extra process include： Stepped Glass:Stepped insulated glass,also named as offset insulated glass,it’s used for semi-stick curtain wall and hidden frame curtain wall,and the curtain wall corners .Stepped glass is 10% higher than normal glass.         2.Shaped Glass:Shaped glass increase glass processing costs,including the spacer bending,and secondary sealant must be finished by hand instead of by machine,soshaped glass price is 10% higher. 3.Self-cleaning insulated glass. For easier maintenance,facade owners don’t want waste much time and money cleaning the facade, self -cleaning insulated glass ,is to have a  hydrophobic coating that is applied on glass surface to avoid frequent cleaning process,for facade applications,the warranty time is 10 years,price is about USD8/SQM. 4.Capillary tubes.Capillary tube is used in insulated glass to balance the air pressure inside and outside of insulted glass to avoid glass contract or expand after installation. Sometimes insulated glass production area altitude is quite different from the areas to be installed.If produced in seaside while the installation area latitude is over 1000M high,or produced in high altitude areas while used in seaside.For area pressure reason, glass will expand or shrink after installation,then the capillary is recommended to help keeping glass absolute flat and avoid visual distortion. Capillary tube is small stainless steel tube with only 1mm diameter,it’s installed on insulated glass edge(from aluminium spacer bar) and certain parts(around 50mm) is exposed outside to keep air flow inside and outside glass.See how to install capillary tubes correctly. Capillary tube price is USD1 /PCS. 5.Perforated insulating glass:Insulated glass can also been used in point supported glass facade instead of tempered glass and laminated glass.To fix the spider and claw safety,Morn can supply insulated glass with perforations ,sealed with aluminium D rings for better and safe installation.Price is USD3/holes. 6.U channels on insulated glass:Architects and designers in MEGA areas like to insert U channels at glass edge,the U channel will be embedded with the aluminium frame and work as supporting point for the glass,this will cause bigger and thicker spacer (over 20mm) and increased glass costs.Price is USD0.5/channel. 7.Decorative cross bar is also made with aluminium profiles,Different from aluminium spacer bar,it’s used in glass middle,or glass center,it doesn’t support the insulated but only have decorative function.The decorative cross bar color can be customized to be same as the windows frame,but do pay attention to the bar position to keep all cross bars in windows&doors paralled.The bar costs is about USD10/SQM. 4.Other factors affect insulating glass price After insulating glass is finished,loading insulated glass and deliver it to the sites is another big account of final insulated glass. Glass packing and loading. For easier handling and loading,insulated glass is packed into plywood crates,and unit weight will be between 1200-1800kgs.Because of the existing of the air space,insulated glass usually use 40GP and 40HQ to load,unit loading quantity depend on the final destination port weight limit,some port weight limit is 18MT, 20MT and some others allow Max 28MT.Depend on the final weight limit,the unit container insulating quantity varies from 400sqqm -900sqm. Learn more about the shipping containers and the glass quantity to be loaded in one container,click here: https://mornglass.com/how-much-glass-a-container-can-load.html      2.Forwarder fees and shipping costs. The forwarder fees including inland logistics from glass factory to the nearest port, and series of port fees in departing port, in China,the costs for 20’GP and 40’HQ is about USD800 and USD1100/container. The shipping costs, shipping costs changes every month.Famous shipping companies including Maersk,ONE,COSCO,Evergeen,MSC etc.The shipping fees depend on the quantity of goods to be delivered and the shipping capability,shipping companies price changes twice per month,but in some special cases,the shipping fees changes too much. For example,in May,2020,the shipping fees to Rotterdam was USD700/20’GP,while in May 2021,the costs is USD6000,this is very special time caused by the covid-19 and the accident in Suez Canel. Destination forwarder fees is similar to the fees happened in depart port,customs clearance,picking up the goods,and inland logistic from the port to the final sites. What customers should pay is the Tax to be paid.According to the trading regulations with China,most countries enjoy 0% customs tax while some countries require 20% tax based on the CIF price. All the shipping costs and forwarder costs can be shared by the container quantity glass,so optimizing your glass size and allow maximum glass to be loaded is quite important for customers.    3.Glass broken&replacement Many factors will lead to glass broken,for example improper packing and reinforcement in factory,the lack of decissant in containers,the unloading process,and the installation process,and even large scale glass self explosion after installation.Glass broken happens in every project,so it’s also one of the most important part when customers decided to purchase insulated glass from China or Not. Good glass factories will establish well organized customers complaints ,once broken report was received,they ‘ll analysis the reasons why glass is broken and take measures to replace it as soon as possible ,whether it’s free of charge or customer’s reasons. Some factories will offer free raw materials when loading the glass in case glass broken at site.In this case,customers can find local glass processors to finish the replacement in the shortest time. Replacement takes some times ,and for fragile glass products,shipping is big problem,both the time and costs.So Morn’s suggestion is ,when placing orders,it’s suggested to prepare some extra panels,especially when glass panel sizes are uniform.Or ask factories to prepare some raw materials based on the largest glass panel sizes.Again,for facade projects,it’s suggested to ask factories to pack the glass according to the glass final installation levels,this might have some extra costs,but does save the time and labors costs handing glass down and up in different levels.

In cold climates, windows with poor insulation conditions will cause the temperature of the glass surface to decrease rapidly. In order to compensate for the cold air settlement, cold wind and “cold radiation” generated by the low-temperature window surface, it is necessary to take heating measures near the windows. ALUMINIUM THERMAL BREAK WINDOWS According to the European Energy Standard 10077, the formula for calculating the U value of windows is as follows (all heat losses must be included to avoid overestimating the quality of windows): The U value of the window is calculated according to the following formula: Uw = [Ag * Ug + Af * Uf + lg * Ψg (+ linst * Ψinst)] / (Ag + Af) WINDOWS U VALUE Uw: U value of glass Ag: area of glass area Uf: U value of window frame Af: Projected area of window frame Ψg: Linear heat transfer coefficient of warm edge (mainly determined by quality of warm edge) Lg: Length of warm edge Ψinst: additional thermal bridge caused by installing windows in the outer wall Linst: length of the installation edge。 According to above formula,we can see that windows U value is affected by the glass U value,profile U value and the glass edge U value,while the most important part is the areas of each part.For most windows,glass account 80% of the overall windows,so decrease the glass U value plays important role,below chart shows how windows U value is affected by the glass U value. ALUMINIUM WINDOWS U VALUE When glass U value decrease 0.1W/M2.K,Windows U value will decrease by 0.08W/m2.k.So how to decrease the glass windows is the most important issue when designing a windows.Insulated glass with high performance low-E coating will help decrease glass U value to below 0.7W/M2.K.

Glass becomes annealed if it is heated above a transition point then allowed to cool slowly, without being quenched. Glass is treated with heat in order to change its properties by the annealing process. Annealed glass is the most common glass used in windows and glass shelves. It is also known as a standard sheet of float glass.The glass, formerly annealed on shelves in a melting furnace. The shaped glass is annealed to relieve stresses caused by manipulation, then is slowly cooled. float glass Glass which has not been annealed is liable to crack or shatter when subjected to a relatively small temperature change or mechanical shock. Annealing glass is critical to its durability. If glass is not annealed, it will retain many of the thermal stresses caused by quenching and significantly decrease the overall strength of the glass. Annealed glass breaks into large, jagged shards that can cause serious injury, thus considered a hazard in architectural applications. Care should be taken when choosing locations to install annealed glass. Factors Influencing Float Glass Breakages tempered glass breakage Glass breaks when it is under stresses that it cannot withstand. Each type of glass has different breakage characteristics. In the case of annealing glass, when broken it splinters into sharp fragments, which represent a hazardous situation. Annealing glass may break for many different reasons. We will be focusing on the most common ones. 1. Thermal breakage Generally, thermal stresses on glass occur as a result of exposure to sunlight and interior heating. When glass is exposed to high temperatures, it absorbs heat and expands. At the same time, its edges remain cooler, creating a differential between the two surface areas of the pane. These expansion differences cause stress and consequently thermal breakage. 2. Different loads Glass is subjected to different types of environmental and human loads, which can cause the malfunctioning or breakage of glazed surfaces. Since each load has a specific impact on glass, and different calculation formulas, it is important to understand each of these phenomena in order to determine the appropriate glass thickness. 3. Poor glazing Poor and improper glazing may also lead to glass failure and breakage. Correct handling and glazing of the glass is essential to avoid edge damage and minimize the risks of fractures due to thermal and mechanical stresses. 4. Impacts Glass can break as a result of several types of impact, which can be categorized as accidental or deliberate . As normal annealed glass is relatively fragile in comparison to tempered glass, a strong impact almost always causes glass breakage. Bear Glass assure you annealed glass without any manufacturing defect. So eliminating one of the cause of breakage and guarantee a longer life. #### Factors that affect laminated glass quality Factors that affect laminated glass quality The reasons for laminated glass quality are: Glass cleanness &dry: water marks,dirt,oils mark. Tempered glass flatness. Glass direction during pre-laminating. Laminating room cleanness,temperature,humidity. PVB moisture content. PVB thickness and layer qty. Over extension of PVB during laminating ,or unreasonable extra PVB length. Improper laminating techniques. China Morn Building Materials-Your Turnkey Architectural Glass Partner #### Factors that affect laminated glass quality The factors affect laminated glass quality  1.Glass clean&dry-dirt,oil,water mark. 2.Glass flatness. 3.Glass direction during squeezing process. 4.The environment of laminating rooms:Temperature,moisture,humidity. 5.Water content of PVB interlayers. 6.Interlayer thickness,layer quantity. 7.Over tensile of interlayer,or insufficient extra interlayer left during laminating. Quality laminated glass has long term lifetime,Morn ‘s strictly selected processors and factories will guarantee high quality laminated glass and offer 10 years warranty time for Kuarary,Trisofol laminated glass. China Morn Building Materials-Your Turnkey Architectural Glass Partner #### Factors that affect tempered glass flatness Factors that affect tempered glass flatness The heat treated glass is not as flat as float glass,the uneven ,both glass overall bow and local bow will cause visual distortion after glass was installed.If made into laminated glass,the overall thickness of laminated glass is different,the uneven will cause bubbles at glass edge or center and affect laminated glass quality.For insulated glass,the uneven PIB cause poor sealing quality,and somewhere will cause the installation. Glass-Tempering-process-morn-building-materials The reasons cause glass flatness problem is: 1.1 Heating rollers deformation The rollers will have some deformation during long term high temperature,the deformation of the heating rollers will cause glass uneven when glass moving on the uneven rollers. 1.2 The abrasion of rollers Long term working and frequent trimming on the rollers will cause uneven rollers ,or decreased diameter.Sometimes new replaced rollers works together with old previous rollers,the different abrasived rollers will cause deform when softened glass moving on the rollers 1.3 Uneven rollers on the cooling process Glass-heating-rollers   2.1 Temperature difference between glass top and bottom The glass top was heated by radiation while the bottom is heated by conduction ,which is easy to cause the different temperature between glass surface and glass uneven problem. 2.1 Temperature difference between glass center and edge 3.1 Partial temperature difference of the glass This is usually caused by broken machine parts during the heating and cooling process. Land-glass-tempering-furnace-morn Glass tempering process contains many parameters,operators shall test samples before starting large scale production.Once the glass is unqualified,check the machine and adjust the tempering parameters,check machine status and improve to avoid more non-conforming glass products.

Download this article here:Factors-that-affect-tempered-glass-flatness Extend:How to improve the glass curtain wall flatness? #### Factors that caused glass curtain wall visual distortion Factors that caused glass curtain wall visual distortion curtain-wall-visual-distortion Glass sheets and processing factors  Glass sheets(raw float glass) The glass image we usually see is an image that is reflected back through the glass. Measuring the optical distortion of the float glass is the zebra angle. China’s float glass standard requires that the architectural grade glass zebra angle reach 50 degrees, and the automotive grade and mirror grade glass requirements are more than 60 degrees. The zebra angle of foreign high-grade float glass can reach more than 70 degrees. Due to the problem of float glass technology and quality consciousness in China, this index is generally between 45 and 65 degrees, and the quality is even lower than 40 degrees. The effect of the zebra angle of the float glass on the visual distortion is fundamental.  Tempered glass flatness； Tempering is the process of secondary heat treatment of the flat glass. Distortion during tempering does have a significant impact on imaging. In the middle of the tempered glass, if there is distortion, it can be considered that there is a serious problem in process control. The overall bow and local bow of tempered glass is an important point measuring the glass qualified or not. In fact, if the tempered glass overall bow is controlled to 1 ‰ and the local bow is controlled at 0.15 mm,it won’t cause serious visual distortion. Insulating process  Insulated glass(double glazed glass units) have a great influence on the image deformation of the glass. In general, the air contains 1-4% water vapor, and the greater the humidity, the more water vapor content. After the production of the insulating glass is completed, the molecular sieve absorbs most of the water vapor sealed into the glass, and the insulated glass often has a concave shape. Of course, horizontal sealing process should be a problem of processing quality control. The purpose of the insulated glass production line is to control the humidity and temperature during sealing process. It is a pity that the most insulating rooms haven’t been taken advantage.    Design factor Glass thickness At present, when designing the glass for disturbance calculation, it is generally controlled by 1/60 of the maximum wind pressure load. In practice, it is generally calculated from 1/90 to 1/120. This kind of algorithm leads to the thinner glass used in our country. The thicker the glass, the better the rigidity, and the smaller the imaging deformation in the same case. This is also why foreign countries, including Hong Kong, have a good flatness of the curtain wall glass. Generally, their curtain wall glass is mostly 10 mm. Reflectance The higher the reflectivity of the glass, the sharper the image is. In fact, it is easier to see the deformation of the glass from the observation. Aspect Ratio The aspect ratio of the glass is too large to cause distortion. When the aspect ratio is too close to 1:1, the bottom shape of the pan is prone to occur. The best aspect ratio is generally considered to be 2:1. Deformed-glass         environmental factor For the insulated glass, the air in the cavity is expanded or contracted by the influence of temperature, pressure, etc., and the influence on the imaging of the insulated glass is also great. Air Temperature The air temperature in the insulated space rises or decreases by 15 degrees, and the air volume inside the insulating glass will expand or contract by 5%. Atmospheric pressure, altitude, atmospheric pressure varies with altitude; for every 610m increase in height, atmospheric pressure is reduced by 1Psi (6900N/m2); from another perspective, for every 610m increase in height, for 610*1220mm insulated glass, This is equivalent to applying a pressure of about 520 kg to each glass from the inside of the glass. In order to avoid deformation of the insulated glass caused by the change of the air pressure, it is generally recommended to add a capillary tube to the insulated glass when the difference in altitude between the manufacturing location and the installation location exceeds 610 m.    Installation factor deformed-images-on-glass-curtain-wall      Installation Stress If the glass is applied to the glass during the installation process, the glass layout will be deformed and affect the imaging.   Installation flatness The horizontality and verticality of the glass installation affect the imaging effect of the monolithic glass; the flatness and consistency of the curtain wall glass affect the overall imaging effect of the curtain wall. glass-Visual-distortion  Imaging Environment The deformation of the regular geometry on the glass is most pronounced; the image with no obvious outline is not significantly deformed; no image distortion can be seen without the background pattern.

The industry presents a duopoly competition between Xinyi Solar and Flat Glass. Since 2013, the combined production capacity of the two companies has always maintained more than 40% of the industry’s total output, and in 2021 it reached over 50%. This sub-industry also gave birth to two rich people. One is Li Xianyi, who owns Xinyi Solar and the “Glass King”, and the other is Ruan Hongliang, who rarely appears in the public eye. According to the 2022 Hurun Global Rich List, the former has a net worth of 51 billion yuan; the latter is 57 billion yuan,. Mr Ruan Hongliang is the CEO of Flat Group Flat Group has been established for 24 years. It is a comprehensive enterprise integrating glass R&D, manufacturing, processing and sales. Its main products cover four major fields: solar photovoltaic glass, engineering glass, float glass and household glass, as well as EPC photovoltaic glass. Power station engineering construction, mining and sales of quartz mines for glass, production bases are located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, Fengyang, Anhui, and Vietnam. In the mid-1980s, 23-year-old Ruan Hongliang became the director of the Jiaxing Glass Products Factory,and worked there for 14 years. In 1998, he and a few friends gathered 60,000 yuan to co-found Naibang Economic and Trade (the predecessor of Flat Group), and made the first pot of gold through glass trading business. At that time, Li Xianyi had been involved in automotive glass for ten years and officially laid out the field of architectural glass. In the 21st century, Flat began to invest and build factories to produce silver mirrors, tempered glass, laminated glass and insulating glass, and became designated suppliers of IKEA. By 2006, the company had an annual income of 200 million yuan, but Ruan Hongliang was not satisfied with this, but set his sights on the photovoltaic industry. Flat group is the 2nd largest solar glass factory in China At that time, the photovoltaic glass industry was monopolized by four foreign-funded enterprises, namely Saint-Gobain in France, Pilkington in the United Kingdom, Asahi Glass in Japan . The import price was as high as USD12/㎡. Ruan Hongliang saw the business opportunities, “I struggled with my mind for a week, During that week, my mind was full of glass when I was eating and walking, and I couldn’t hear anything else.” In the end, he spent 12 million dollars to enter the segment. With the ignition of the first 100t/d photovoltaic glass production line, Flat became the first enterprise in China to produce photovoltaic glass products on a large scale. At the beginning, it lost USD30,000 per month, and it continued to lose for 3 months until the product passed the European certification that it successfully opened the international market. Flat is the first photovoltaic glass company in China and the fourth in the world to obtain Swiss SPF certification. In the future, we have successfully developed UV-blocking solar ultra-clear patterned glass and its manufacturing method, the melting capacity of solar ultra-clear patterned glass, anti-reflection high transmittance solar ultra-clear patterned glass and its manufacturing method. Solar glass production lines In 2011, Flat began to extend to the upstream of the industrial chain and obtained the mining right of 18 million tons of quartzite mining area in Fengyang, Anhui. Three years later, the company entered the field of photovoltaic power station engineering. In June, a total of 10.228MW distributed photovoltaic power stations were successfully connected to the state grid and completed various business layouts. Since then, it has also introduced a technologically advanced Low-E coating production line from Germany, and is preparing to build factories in Vietnam and other places. In 2011, Flat achieved an operating income of 1.37 billion dollars and a net profit of 0.33 billion dollars, setting a record high. ranking second in the industry. #### Features of aluminium panel Features of aluminium panel The aluminum panel is made of high-grade aluminum alloy, and is processed by various processing techniques such as cutting, folding, bending, welding, reinforced, grinding, painting, etc. As a main choice for building cladding, aluminum veneer has a broad development space compared with exterior materials such as ceramic tile, glass, aluminum composite panel, honeycomb panel and marble.

Such as: architectural windows and doors,partition walls, skylights, smoke blocking wall, perspective floor,exterior walls, outdoor,windows,fire-proof glass frameless door; building patio, atrium,etc. Compared with traditional architectural glass,fireproof glass(or fire rated glass) is relatively new,some glass processors are not really understand the fireproof glass very well,fire-rated glass manufacturers usually named their fire resistant glass with unique code and don’t leak detailed glass configuration to clients,This complexity of fire glass products can confuse the unsuspecting specifier, builder contractor and installer, sometimes leading to incorrectly installed applications, which is a subject matter in its own right. fire reisitant glass partition supplier-morn Here we introduce some professional fireproof glass knowledge to help architect and designers know more about the fire rated glass. The fire proof glass can be divided into:Toughened/tempered fireproof glass,laminated fireproof glass, and composite fireproof glass. 1.Tempered fireproof glass/fire resistant glass/fire-rated glass borosilicate monolithic glass manufacturer-morn   A. Borosilicate monolithic glass. Its fire resistance is derived from its very low coefficient of thermal expansion – only 4 x 10 -6 (20-300C), which is 2 to 3 times lower than normal glass (silicate glass). In addition, borosilicate monolithic fire-resistant glass also has a high softening point, excellent thermal shock resistance and viscosity. Therefore, when a fire occurs, the borosilicate monolithic fireproof glass is not easy to expand and crack, and is a high-stability single-piece fireproof glass with a fire resistance time of up to 3 hours. B. Monolithic potassium cesium fire-resistant glass It is a special chemical treatment for more than 20 hours of ion exchange at high temperature, replacing the metal sodium on the glass surface to form a low-expansion silicate glass with a coefficient of expansion of 1.8*10-6/0F (3.24*10-6/ K), so it has high heat resistance, and at the same time, through tempering process, the surface of the glass forms high compress stress, which greatly improves the impact strength. When the glass breaks, it shows a state of tiny particles, reducing damage to the human body.The strength of potassium cesium fire-resistant glass is 6-12 times that of clear glass and 1.5-3 times that of tempered glass. C.Wired glass. wired glass-fireproof glass-morn It is made by heating a common clear glass to softening state, and then pressing a preheated iron wire or a wire mesh into the middle of the glass. Its characteristic is superior fire resistance, can block the flame, does not burst when burning at high temperature, and will not cause debris to hurt when broken. There is also anti-theft performance. 2.Laminated fireproof glass/fire resistant glass/fire-rated glass fire reisitant glass partition supplier-morn A.PVB laminated glass. It’s made with single piece glass mentioned above and PVB interlayer.Some fireproof glass application require both safety and fireproof function.The PVB laminated fireproof glass has same advantages as laminated glass,eg UV resistance,high strength,thermal and accoustic insulation. If laminating 2 piece fireproof glass,the glass will have double side fire resistant performance. B. Fireproof interlayer laminated glass. Different from PVB laminated glass,this kind of glass include one layer or multi layer special fireproof interlayer,the interlayer thickness is usually 2mm.. When a fire occurs, the interlayer will burst quickly after encountering high temperature to the fire surface glass. The fireproof interlayer will expand about ten times and form a white opaque fireproof rubber sheet. Fire integrity is ensured. 3.Insulated fireproof glass It consists of two pcs glass (three or more layers maybe required if fire resistant requirement is high), and is sealed with special flame retardant strips. The fireproof glue in the middle is solidified and bonded to the glass in a transparent form. Fire prevention principle: After high temperature, the transparent fireproof rubber layer in the middle of the glass will quickly harden and form an opaque fireproof insulation board. While preventing the spread of the flame, it also prevents the high temperature from being transmitted to the back surface. This kind of fireproof glass not only has fireproof and heat insulation properties, but also has excellent sound insulation effect. fire-rated glass door entrance supplier-morn   According to the fire resistance time,there’re 30mins,60mins,90mins,120min,180mins fireproof glass. The standards for fire resistant proof are: UL 10B Standard for Fire Tests of Door Assemblies UL 10C Standard for Positive Pressure Fire Tests of Door Assemblies UL 9 Standard for Fire Tests of Window Assemblies BS476 Fire test to building materials fireproof glass test-bs476 Before selecting fireproof glass, it is necessary to know the specific requirements of fireproof glass. It is different characteristics such as fireproof, heat insulation or smoke insulation, fire resistance limit. Then choose the model that suits you.

Now the orders from glass processing factories are still not big,most factories don’t have much order ,and sometimes they have to decrease glass price to get the most orders to keep the glass factory running.The decreased orders caused decreasing float glass price to the bottom and even sell in loss … Here is a chart showing the 5mm glass price varies in the past months. In April and early March when the Covid was not heavy in China,float glass price keeps high and was expecting flourish new year after the Chinese year,while,with the delayed re-starting of glass processing factories and decreased orders,glass price decrease all the time since May and reached the lowest point by the end of April.The price was almost the lowest point in the past 5 years. Since May,most China construction works has started and the glass market demand is becoming big,in addition to the China government’s policy to start new turn large scale infrastructure construction,glass price increase since may and will be back to the normal level by the end of June or in July. Compared with glass,other construction materials’ price varies much bigger than glass.For example ,aluminium ignot,price decreased to the lowest point in April and till now price has increased by around 20%,and steel price has also increased by 10% in May,2020. The building materials price will keep going with the increasing China domestic market,with the eliminated Covid 19 virus,oversea orders will also comes since Julyy or August,then all the factories will enjoy a booming market demand and a good harvest in 2020.

Pros and Cons of Framed Glass Shower Doors Framed shower doors come up with frames for the support of the basic structure. Glass is the most common material to be used in framed shower doors. While the material of frames varies. Common options for shower doors frames are chrome, aluminum, nickel, and bronze. The frame is incorporated in different parts of shower doors such as joints, sides, and tops. Pros of Framed Glass Shower Doors 1- More flexible option The incorporated frames in glass shower doors make this type of shower doors more adaptable and flexible to different sizes and styles of bathrooms. This is one of the most amazing benefits of framed shower doors. It is because shower doors are designed with wider specifications. framed-shower-room-morn-bm 2- Better suited for off-square shower area walls The added frames in this type of glass shower doors make them suitable and more functional for different circumstances. It is most significant to indicate that framed shower doors are well-suited for off square shower areas. Even, you can fit these shower doors in an existing shower door tray with some modifications.  framed-bathroom–2morn-bm 3- Allows design and style statement modification Framed glass shower doors are now available in more design and styles. Over time, these designs are adding more to make a perfect style statement. Not only these can be better for style modifications but also these shower doors are sturdy enough. As the frame of these doors provides extra support.  4- Cost-effective Framed glass shower doors are now available in more design and styles. Over time, these designs are adding more to make a perfect style statement. Not only these can be better for style modifications but also these shower doors are sturdy enough. As the frame of these doors provides extra support.  4- Cost-effective Frames are not specifically incorporated in this shower doors’ type. While textured or tempered glass is being used in these shower doors. These doors are supported with the pivots only which are incorporated into the design.  Pros of Frameless Shower Doors 1- Versatility Although frameless shower doors come up with the minimalist design but these can perfectly fit into any bathroom style. Furthermore, these shower doors are easily available in custom sizing which makes them more versatile and flexible. 2- Easier cleaning Frameless shower doors are super easier to clean. It is because there are no grooves where dirt and mold can develop. Even more, this type of shower doors can also keep you from replacing corroded pieces as in framed shower doors.See 9 methods to clean your shower door. 3- Upscale design feature The absence of framed design in this shower door type can be considered as an upscale design feature in your bathroom. It will ultimately enhance the value of your property in the best possible way. framed-shower-door-morn-bm-1 4- Transparency Transparency in frameless shower designs makes it more suitable for any type of bathroom. It is because this can create an impression of enhanced space in your bathroom. Ultimately, the bathroom will feel more spacious, and airy. frameless-shower-door-morn-bm Cons of Frameless Shower Doors These shower doors are more expensive than framed doors.  The absence of insulating material can cause water leakage.  It contains a risk of spontaneously shattering if exposed to excess pressure and heat. Cost Comparison Both framed and frameless shower doors vary tremendously in terms of costs. Numerous factors play an important role in this cost variation. Some of the most common factors are given below: Size of the shower door  Whether the product is custom or stock  Type of glass used in the shower door  Height of your shower door  All these factors can make it difficult to have an exact comparison of cost for both framed and frameless shower doors. In any case, custom doors can lead you to higher costs. However, if you are going to compare both of these custom doors’ types generally, then a frameless shower door can be an expensive option as compared to framed ones. Using either fixed, French, or hinge opening with a frameless shower door can cause about a 3x higher cost than a framed shower door. Even more, the installation costs of frameless shower doors are also higher.  Framed Door Properties Framed shower doors feature frames surrounding textured or tempered glass sheets. The frames are coated to create nickel, bronze, chrome, or gold. The metal surrounds partition’s operable parts as well as other enclosure parts. Sweeps, seals, and magnetic hardware around the door can help to create a watertight fit. Frameless Door Properties These shower doors are relying on special pivots to support the structural part and heavy-duty glass material. These doors are free from metal around their operable part. However, some options may include metal tracks along with enclosure parts. Semi Frameless Shower Doors Semi-frameless shower doors contain metal frames around their entire structure but not around the complete door. Therefore, these are known as semi-frameless.  This is the detailed comparison of framed vs frameless shower doors, which can let you have a better idea about which option can suit the best to your needs with ease.

Tempered glass has two major characteristics compared to clear float glass: 1) The strength is several times that of clear float glass, the tensile strength is three times that of the latter, and the impact resistance is more than five times that of the float glass. 2) Tempered glass is not easy to be broken, even if it is broken, it will be broken in the form of particles without sharp angles, and the damage to human body is greatly reduced. Frosted glass.usually are sandblasted glass or acid etched glass,it’s applied in some private areas such as shower door,washroom,glass partition,patterns can be etched on glass surface so etching glass can also be used as glass stairs etc. China-Glass-exporter-morn 3.Patterned glass,or rolled glass, It is a flat glass manufactured by calendering. Its biggest feature is that it is opaque. 4, wired glass. It is an impact-resistant flat glass made by embedding a wire or a metal mesh in a glass plate by a calendering method. When impacted, only a radial crack is formed without causing injury to the underarm. Therefore, it is mostly used in high-rise buildings and strong buildings. 5, insulated glass,or double glazed units. The two glasses are kept at a certain interval. The air is dry in the interval, and the periphery is sealed with a sealing material. It is mainly used in the decoration works with sound insulation requirements. 6, laminated glass. Laminated glass is generally composed of an organic glue layer between two sheets of ordinary flat glass (which may also be tempered glass or other special glass) . When damaged, the PVB or SGP interlayer still adheres to the glue layer, avoiding the damage caused by the debris splash. Mostly used for renovation projects with safety requirements. 7, bulletproof glass. In fact, it is a kind of laminated glass, but with multi layer PVB and float glass,It is often used in banks or luxury homes where safety requirements are very high. 8, hot bending glass. Curved glass made by heating and softening in a mold and then annealed by flat glass. 9, glass bricks. The manufacturing process of the glass brick is basically the same as that of the flat glass, and the molding method is different. The middle is dry air. It is mostly used in decorative projects or in light-transparent shapes with insulation requirements. Morn is your turnkey China glass supplier,welcome contact us for more info.

The effect of glass is also different depending on the type of glass. If the  clear transparent float glass window is replaced with colored glass such as blue or green or brown in the decoration, The following small tips will introduce you to the decorative material – glass. Tinted glass also known as endothermic glass, which usually blocks about 50% of sunlight. For example, 6 mm thick blue glass can only pass 50% of solar radiation, and Euro grey and bronze heat absorption glass can only pass 25% of sunlight. Therefore, the heat absorbing glass is suitable for the doors, windows or  buildings curtain walls in hot areas that require both lighting and heat insulation, to provide thermal insulation and anti-glare effects, create a beautiful cool atmosphere. However, the sunlight that can be used for sterilization, disinfection and deodorization in urban residential buildings is half blocked by these tinted glass. In addition, some households have installed screens with 70% light transmittance. Combined with clear glass, the total light transmittance is about 61%, which is just right, but if it is equipped with tinted glass, its light transmittance Only 35% will definitely affect the lighting. Indoor decoration should use clear glass with high light transmittance, and the window can be equipped with convenient sunshade equipment. The room can be equipped with transparent or translucent curtains and opaque window sills. In this way, it can not only play a good role in wind, rain, heat insulation, sound absorption, but also fully enjoy the bathing of the sun.     Decorative glass features and applications 1. Advanced silver mirror glass. The high-grade silver mirror glass is made of a series of processes such as sensitization, silver plating, copper plating and protective lacquer using the advanced advanced mirror technology. It has pure imaging, high reflectivity, good color reproduction, bright and natural image, and durable in wet environment. It is a replacement for aluminum mirrors, and its application is much larger than aluminum mirror products. 2. The silk screen glass is permanently sintered on the glass surface, which has the advantages of acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, never fading, safety and high strength. 3. Stained glass. Stained glass is a widely used high-grade glass variety. It is directly inked on the glass with special pigments, or it is sprayed into various patterns on the glass and added with color. It can be vividly reproduced on the original painting, and the film has strong adhesion, good weather resistance and can be scrubbed. . According to the needs of indoor chroma, the use of stained glass can blend painting, color and light into one. For example, copying landscapes, landscapes, and coastal jungle paintings are used in the door and middle halls to cut the vitality and vitality of nature into the room. 4. Sandblasted glass.,or frosted glass,it is a glass product processed into a horizontal or intaglio pattern on the glass by an automatic horizontal blasting machine or a vertical blasting machine.     Float glass properties and applications Float glass is a traditional glass product, mainly used for doors and windows, light transmission, wind protection and heat preservation. The thickness of the float glass is  2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm, and the size of the single piece is 300 mm × 900 mm, 400 mm × 1600 mm, and 600 mm × 2200 mm. The visible light reflectance is about 7%, and the light transmittance is between 82% and 90%.

This greenhouse is easy to construct, easy to use, and low in cost. Greenhouse-with-plastic-film   However, there is a problem with the material shed, that is, the general weather is good, and it will become like this in case of extreme windy weather. After all, it is a plastic film that is still relatively fragile. And because of the nature of the plastic itself, short cycle times and degradation, resulting in environmental problems, you need to find a better alternative. Glass greenhouses are undoubtedly a better choice. Greenhouse-Glass-supplier   Glass greenhouses have the following advantages: (1) Compared with plastic greenhouses, glass greenhouses have better lighting because of their high  light transmittance properties. Sunlight can more fully enter the interior of the greenhouse while ensuring that crops such as vegetables receive light evenly. (2) The glass greenhouses are more solid than the plastic greenhouses from the main materials and structures, and can better protect against indoor crops by resisting extreme weather such as wind and rain. (3) Plastic greenhouses are susceptible to external erosion such as wind and rain. If an accidental fire occurs, it will directly burn and be completely destroyed. Glass greenhouses do not need to worry about these problems, so the life cycle will be longer and the cost of use will be reduced. (4) If a plastic film is used in a greenhouse, the amount of use will be very large. Once discarded, the degradation of plastic film becomes a problem. Glass greenhouses do not need to consider this issue, so they are more environmentally friendly. China-greenhouse-glass   The glass greenhouse will conduct heat through the glass structure, radiate heat to the sky, ventilate and dissipate heat, and the air penetrates into the heat to transfer heat in the ground. Greenhouse energy saving is to reduce the heat dissipation of the greenhouse. An effective method is to install a heat preservation curtain to reduce heat loss at night. Under the premise of meeting crop illumination, it is best to install a double-layer light-transmitting material, which can reduce heat loss by 50%. It is also very effective to use the cold-proof ditch and fill the insulation material to reduce the heat transfer in the ground.

Traditionally, greenhouses have used glass panels. In recent years, there have been advancements made in twin-wall Polycarbonate that make it equal to or even better than glass in many ways. This makes the decision tougher than it used to be. Let’s examine the pros and cons of both greenhouses.   Now, the main reason for a greenhouse is to enable you to extend your growing season and create the perfect condition for your plants all year round. Therefore, you want to select a greenhouse glazing that’ll do just that perfectly while also lasting for many many years. We are going to examine both greenhouse glazings critically. This will hopefully help you determine whether glass or Polycarbonate is better for you.  Glass glazing for greenhouses  Glass is a classic and beautiful glazing option. Many gardeners select glass greenhouses as their perfect choice due to its aesthetic appeal. It has been the traditional greenhouse building glazing material. It permits the highest amount of light penetration. Let’s briefly examine the pros & cons of this glazing. glass greenhouse glass manufacturer in china-morn building materials Pros – why glass is a good choice: Better looks:You can see through glass clearly. This enhances the appearance of a greenhouse and gives it the “traditional look.” The maximum amount of natural light for plants:It has the highest light transmission.  No fading or discoloration:While other covering materials tend to fade and become opaque, glass does not. It may fog up but that’s all. Glass will, therefore, transmit the same amount of light throughout its life.  Long-lastingif breaking is prevented Flame-resistant:So it’s completely okay to use it in garden areas where barbecues take place. Natural resource:There are no chemicals used in the production. Potentially cheap acquisition:You can potentially salvage old windows and build a greenhouse with it. Easy to replace:You can order or purchase glass panes easily in your city. So, you can fix broken pieces faster. Cons – why glass might not be a good choice: No heat protection or diffusion: The clarity of the material is nice but it doesn’t break sun rays or provide protection from the sun. If you are in the desert or another sunny place, this might be the death of your plants. Shade cloths will become indispensable. Higher heating/cooling costs:Regarding the previous point, you’ll also have to spend more to heat or cool a glass greenhouse.  Higher price for greenhouse kits:Ready-made glass greenhouses can be quite pricey. Danger of breaking glass:Glass can be a very fragile material and breaking of glass panels on the greenhouse can be very dangerous. However, tempered glass can reduce the danger and ensure safety. Set-up:Glass greenhouses are not so easy to set up. In fact, the surface you are using for it must be completely plumb and level in order to prevent cracking of the glass over time. This may make it difficult for the do-it-yourself greenhouse builder. Heavier material:Glass is quite heavy and cumbersome to work with, especially when working with large panes. Not much insulation:Generally, glass does not provide as much insulation for your plant (unless the double-walled glass which is quite expensive).  More maintenance:You have to clean the glass more frequently if you want to keep the beautiful appearance. This increases further if you are using hard water for irrigation. You may have to clean them once a month or every 2 weeks, depending on how clear you want them to be. Polycarbonate glazing for greenhouses Polycarbonate glazing is a premium choice for growers living in all kinds of climates. It can withstand harsh weather. It is long-lasting and can remain in good shape even after several hits from a ball. Polycarbonate greenhouses have excellent features but we’ll discuss the pros and cons of this greenhouse below. Polycarbonate conservatory Pros – why Polycarbonate is a good choice: Sturdiness:Although Polycarbonate has both rigid and flexible grades, the flexible plastic doesn’t crack under stress easily. This makes them unbreakable and able to withstand massive force. Protection from the sun:Polycarbonate breaks UV rays while letting in warmth and sunlight. It is a perfect plastic for greenhouses as it has a light transmission of 88%. More light diffusion:Compared to glass, it lets in diffused light that benefits plants. For example, the twin-wall Polycarbonate has a cellular structure that breaks sunlight. There are special Polycarbonate panels (e.g. Solexx) that have extra light-diffusing features for optimum plant growth. More insulation: Polycarbonate has the ability to retain heat better than glass. The twin-wall design has a double glazing effect with air pockets in between that decrease heat loss. Ideally, an 8 mm Polycarbonate thickness for greenhouse sides and 10 mm thick plastic for the roof would be perfect. Lightweight:This makes it incredibly easy to work with. It is also easy to move around without worrying that it might break. Durability:Polycarbonate greenhouses are durable and weather resistant. They withstand harsh environments, including snow, rain, and burning sun. Low maintenance:Doesn’t need regular cleaning like glass – once or twice a year will be fine. Flame-resistant:So it’s completely okay to use it in garden areas where barbecues take place. Cons – why Polycarbonate is not so good: Doesn’t look as nice: This is the major disadvantage. You cannot see through Polycarbonate so it doesn’t give you the classic greenhouse look. Prone to scratching:It’s not advisable to use chemical solutions or scrubs to clean up Polycarbonate greenhouses. Scratches are not easy to repair or get rid of. It cannot be polished. As long as you prevent them, your Polycarbonate will be in good shape. Condensation:Twin-wall polycarbonate can accumulate moisture between the layers. This may accelerate the level of algae development. This doesn’t have to happen if the greenhouse is installed properly (tightly put together). Dust accumulation:If not installed properly, panels may easily accumulate dust over a long time. Cleaning will be difficult and in addition, the dust would build up and affect light transmission. You can easily deal with this by ensuring that your panels fit snugly into the frame profiles so that there is no entry for dust. Non-natural resource: Polycarbonates are a group of thermoplastic polymers. They are chemically produced. Higher costs & harder to replace:While Polycarbonate greenhouse kits are cheaper than glass greenhouse kits, Polycarbonate may still be more expensive than salvaged glass. Buying it also is not as straight-forward as with glass. Replacing a broken panel may take more time because you have to contact the manufacturer and wait for them to send it out. Now, let’s compare the key features of the two glazing materials Here, we’ll compare the crucial features of both greenhouses. This would help you to make a decision.  Light distribution Glass is clear so it lets in a lot more direct light. Polycarbonate distorts the light that it lets in, which is called light diffusion. Plants actually do better with diffused light, since direct light can scorch or overheat them.  Diffused light is able to reach all around the plants so that they are lit evenly instead of the majority of light going to the surface or top. So, plants tend to grow faster with diffused light.  As mentioned above, Polycarbonate also filters UV rays. This is also beneficial to your plants. Insulation and heat retention The whole point of a greenhouse is to use the power of the sun to heat a room for growing out of season. If the room does not retain heat then it is useless. Glass is both quick to heat up and quick to cool down. So, it does not retain heat for long. This can be lethal for plants in the long winter nights. However, a single sheet of Polycarbonate film is actually less able to retain heat than standard glass. Fortunately, most Polycarbonate products for greenhouses are actually made of double-walled material, where two sheets of film are put together with space in between. This internal buffer space makes twin-wall Polycarbonate a much better heat retainer and insulator than glass. Both glass and traditional Polycarbonate are actually outperformed by Solexx though. It has more than twice the heat retention of standard glass and is readily available for purchase here at Greenhouse Emporium. So, if heat retention is a major concern then look no further. We also offer several kits featuring the Solexx covering.  If Solexx is not the style you are looking for, you should check out Riga greenhouses. They are the perfect deep winter greenhouses. Durability Glass is breakable, of course, but Polycarbonate sheet plastic is also at risk of scratching and tearing. Polycarbonate needs to be treated with UV protectant to prevent it from yellowing and breaking down. Nowadays, store-bought panels already have this. There is no need for an extra layer. Glass does not have this problem at all. Therefore, it is durable glazing that could last forever – as long as it is not broken. Most Polycarbonates are made to last around ten years. Generally, the warranty length on the product is a good indication of how long you should expect it to hold up. If any portion of the cover needs to be patched or replaced, it is much easier to do so with individual glass panes. You can purchase new pieces easily in your local area. Replacing an entire sheet of Polycarbonate may not be as easy and quick because you have to order it from the manufacturer.  Maintenance Most Polycarbonates require little to no maintenance but glass is a different story. For a classic clear look, you may have to clean it on a regular basis depending on use. Unless you have an expensive double-pane installation it will also sweat in colder weather. Since it lets in more direct light you might also need to have some sort of shading system and will need to be more diligent about venting and airflow in case it gets too hot in a glass greenhouse Installation Neither material is overly easy or difficult to install. Polycarbonate can be installed in larger sections, but it needs to be handled properly to prevent damage to the sheet (especially edges). It also needs to be sealed properly along any edge that has been cut or else moisture, mold, and bugs can get into the void between sheets. The difficulty with glass installation comes in the framing and finishing, but if you purchase a kit instead of trying to use reclaimed glass and windows, then the guesswork is removed from the equation.Glass is a bit more fragile than Polycarbonate and it is most certainly heavier. Handling larger glass panes may be difficult for some people because of the size and weight. Cost The cost of glass and Polycarbonate sheets for a greenhouse covering can vary based on the source and quality of the material. The handy grower can save a good deal of money by building their own greenhouse from reclaimed glass panels, but as previously mentioned, this can be difficult and requires some skill.  There are plenty of cheap Polycarbonate options but these tend to not last very long nor perform well. Since the covering is the main provider of function for your greenhouse, we strongly recommend investing in a quality product that will last for many years. It may seem like a good idea to buy a cheap kit at first, but when you are replacing it every few years the cost and labor quickly adds up to more than if you had invested in a quality greenhouse, to begin with. Glass vs Polycarbonate – Which one is better? Greenhouse design is a very personal decision to make. We’ve mentioned the pros and cons of glass and Polycarbonate. The majority of the analysis in this article is from the viewpoint of the novice grower. So, you might not find certain aspects actually to be a con or even positive for you.  For example, if you have access to a good amount of quality unused glass then the argument of Polycarbonate versus glass is pretty much moot. Both materials are good enough to make nice greenhouses so free or deeply discounted material of decent quality is a major plus. For the beginner grower, Polycarbonate may be the better choice. It definitely performs the desired function of good lighting and heat retention better than glass. It may be a bit more expensive upfront but will require less maintenance and allow you to focus more on your actual growth instead of greenhouse maintenance.  If you do go with Polycarbonate it is important to buy quality material. There is Polycarbonate material on the market that is of inferior quality. These products will not last more than a couple of years and you will end up spending more money having to constantly redo your greenhouse.  #### Glass Industry News 202204 German media: if natural gas is no longer imported from Russia, all glass factories in Germany will shut down According to Eurostat, Germany is the largest consumer of Russian natural gas among EU Member States, accounting for 58.9% of Germany’s total natural gas demand. According to the statement of the German Federal Glass Manufacturers Association, if natural gas is no longer imported from Russia, all glass factories in Germany will be shut down, which will not only cause losses in glass production, but also lose all equipment investment in the factory. The head of GMB pointed out that the plant shutdown will affect the whole of Europe because it is the only manufacturer of structured solar glass in the region. To produce glass, raw materials need to be heated and maintained at a high temperature of 1600 degrees Celsius. This production process requires a lot of energy. At present, most glass manufacturers in Germany rely on natural gas imported from Russia to maintain their operation. According to the statement of the German Federal Glass Manufacturers Association, if natural gas is no longer imported from Russia, all glass factories in Germany will be shut down, which will not only cause losses in glass production, but also lose all equipment investment in the factory. The head of GMB pointed out that the plant shutdown will affect the whole of Europe because it is the only manufacturer of structured solar glass in the region. According to Eurostat, Germany is the largest consumer of Russian natural gas among EU Member States, accounting for 58.9% of Germany’s total natural gas demand. With the recent EU sanctions against Russia, natural gas prices have soared, affecting German food, medicine, automobile, construction and other industries. According to the statistics of the German Chamber of Commerce and industry, nearly 80% of German enterprises have said that they have been affected by the rise of energy prices, and 10% said that the surge of energy costs has led to the serious deterioration of their financial situation.   2.South Korea continues to impose 36.01% anti-dumping duty on float glass from China According to order No. 913 of the Ministry of planning and finance of the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Korea continues to impose 36.01% anti-dumping duty on float glass imported from China.

Looking ahead, imarc Group expects the market to reach US $22.7 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2027. 4.Jinjing Glass achieved 6.921 billion Yuan sales in 2021 According to the annual report disclosed by Jinjing technology on the evening of April 11, the company achieved an operating revenue of 6.921 billion yuan and a net profit of 1.307 billion yuan in 2021, with a year-on-year increase of 41.72% and 295.1% respectively. However, the first quarterly reports disclosed by Jinjing technology and industry leading Qibin group showed revenue growth and net profit decline. Huatai Securities believes that this is related to the sharp rise in the cost side and the decline in the price of float glass.   Looking forward to 2022, Jinjing technology believes that the demand for building glass is entering a stable period, and energy-saving products will gradually replace ordinary building glass; Photovoltaic glass will achieve sustainable growth. On April 12, Chen Sheng, President of China real estate data research institute, also mentioned in an interview with the reporter of Securities Daily, “there are still good opportunities for the glass industry as a whole this year. Under the background of double carbon target, new glass such as energy-saving glass will have better market space.” #### Glass mildew:reasons,appearance and identification Glass mildew:reasons,appearance and identification Glass mildew is an industrial problem in the glass industry. Every spring and summer, due to the high temperature and high humidity,glass mildew is easy happen. Therefore, how to prevent glass mildew has become the top priority of many glass processors. GLASS-MILDEW,GLASS-MOULD  Reasons for glass mold: Glass is mostly made of quartz sand (SiO2), soda ash (Na2CO3), limestone (CaCO3) and feldspar, in which SiO2 (about 72%), Na2O (about 15%) and CaO (about 9%), so called soda-lime glass, is widely used because of its low cost. MOULD-ON-GLASS   According to research, during the annealing process of soda lime glass, alkali ions move to the surface of the glass, making ion exchange easy on the surface of the glass; for example, the glassy Sio2 on the surface can be hydrolyzed. Therefore, when the soda-lime glass is stored in a humid environment, water or moisture will diffuse from the glass surface and gradually diffuse into the glass. When the soluble sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) in the surface layer is hydrolyzed, it is contacted by water. (H2O) Carbonic acid (H2CO3) formed with carbon dioxide (CO2) produces ortho silicic acid (H4SiO4) which is weaker than carbonic acid. If the saturated orthosilicate (H4SiO4) solution is left for a long time, it will be amorphous. Silica (SiO2) precipitates in a milky white color and appears as colloidal particles, precipitates or gels. MILDEWED-GLASS-MORN   Glass mildew is generally divided into five stages: Initially, water or moisture is adsorbed on the glass surface. Subsequently, water or moisture diffuses into the glass. The soluble silicate in the surface is hydrolyzed and destroyed. First, sodium silicate and potassium silicate are hydrolyzed and destroyed. Caustic soda (NaOH) is formed and SiO2 is separated. The separated SiO2 forms a silicone gel which forms a protective film on the surface of the glass which prevents further erosion. The caustic soda formed by hydrolysis reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form sodium carbonate, which accumulates on the surface of the glass to form a soluble salt in the surface film. Due to its strong hygroscopicity, it absorbs moisture and deliquesces, eventually forming lye droplets. As the surrounding temperature and humidity change, the concentration of these droplets also changes. If the concentrated lye droplets are in contact with the glass for a long period of time, the gel-like silicone film can be partially dissolved therein, causing severe local erosion of the glass surface to form spots. This is a group of white alkali-rich ions that are formed by the migration of sodium ions from the glass body and reacting with air. A white particle swarm can be observed by scanning electron microscopy. GLASS-DEFECTS-AFTER-INSTALLATION-GLASS-MILDEW Appearance phenomenon of mildewed glass: White fog, white spots: The slightest mildew on the glass surface due to storage time, air humidity or glass quality problems. Rainbow: When the white mist and white spots appear for a long time and are not treated in time, a rainbow will form. At this time, the moldy condition only stays on the glass surface and does not corrode into the glass. 3, sulfur change: glass mildew appearance and mild mildew, but the alkaline moldy components of the glass surface have been corroded into the glass, is a serious mold. 4, paper printing: the same as sulfur, moldy outside the glass and inside, is a serious mildewed. Mildew identification and inspection methods: Visual inspection of the appearance is the most succinct and feasible method. The sample was placed in reflected light and transmitted light to observe the presence or absence of spots and mist on the surface of the glass under concentrated intense light. These spots and mists cannot be wiped off with cloth or water. The glass in which the above phenomenon occurs indicates that the sample has been mildewed. If concentrated glare is observed, a small number of spots and mists are slightly mildewed by the naked eye. If concentrated glare is observed, many spots and light mists are observed by the naked eye. If there is no concentrated beam of light, some spots and fog are observed by the naked eye to be severely moldy.

The total amount of China curtain walls in existing buildings exceeds 1 billion square meters, glass facade account over 50%,most of them are used in skyscrapers.Here we introduce the glass panels designs for skyscrapers. glass curtain wall in modern city-China morn glass   Why glass is the most important curtain wall materials in Skyscrapers? As a building material, glass has four major characteristics at the same time: transparency, high strength, light weight, and durability. MaterialsTransparencyStrengthLight WeightDurability GlassYesYesYesYes Steel panelsNOYesYesYes Aluminium Panels/Zinc PanelsNONOYesYes ConcreteNONONOYes Bricks,StonesNONONOYes Polycarbonate YesNOYesNO ETFEDiffusedNOYesNO Glass Light transparency Glass is a transparent material. The visible light transmittance of clear float glass is 85-89%. Low iron glass reduces the iron element in the glass, making it more crystal clear and translucent, and the visible light transmittance is increased to more than 90%. Glass application in buildings The light transmittance of polycarbonate board (PVC board) can reach 75%~80%. Thin film materials (such as ETFE) can only transmit diffused light, but are opaque. Glass Strength Glass is a brittle material, but has high tensile strength. Among the commonly used wall materials, its tensile strength is second only to steel and much higher than other materials. MaterialsTensile Strength (N/MM2)Density (KGS/M3) Float glass5025.6 Tempered Glass18025.6 Steel23578.5 Aluminium profiles10827.1 Concrete2-325 Glass light weight The glass bending strength is very high, especially the tempered glass plate. Therefore, the glass panel of the glass curtain wall is very thin,. Even if insulating glass or laminated insulating glass composing of 2 or 3 layers of glass, unit weight is only 40 ~ 80Kg/m2, which is much smaller than the 350 ~ 500kgs/m2 of the concrete wall /㎡. The glass curtain wall weight is about 1/100 of the building total weight. This creates the necessary conditions for the upward extension of the building height. glass curtain wall system has light weight Due to its high weight and low strength, stone curtain walls are rarely used in buildings above 400m. Similarly, for skyscrapers above 400m, architects will not choose to use sheet metal due to the requirements of architectural art functions. Above 500m, almost all glass curtain walls. Without glass curtain walls, there would be no super-tall skyscrapers above 500m. Glass panel designs for skyscraper Low iron Glass Tempered glass has the possibility of spontaneous explosion. Skyscraper glass facade will bring a great risk of spontaneous explosion,and it is extremely difficult to replace the glass after glass breakage. Therefore, effective measures must be taken,including: glass spontaneous breakage replacement-glass curtain wall Heat strengthened glass.Surface strength is lower than tempered glass,no breakage possibility. Low iron glasswith lower iron content. During production, nickel and nickel sulfide content is also decrease.. The spontaneous explosion rate of ultra-white glass after tempering can be reduced to 0.0001, or even lower. Even though low iron glass is 30% higher than clear glass,considering the decreased future replacing costs,it’s worthwhile to use low iron one to decrease overall costs. China low iron glass-ultra glass supplier   SGP laminated glass PVB laminated glass is currently the most widely used glass in curtain wall.While PVB was It was originally developed for automotive glass, not for architectural curtain walls, so it is elastic, relatively soft, and has small shear modulus. PVB laminated glass has small bearing capability and large bending deformation. Meanwhile the exposed edges of PVB laminated glass are easy to delaminated, after years ,glass will become yellow color. laminated glass-delamination-glass quality problem For skyscraper glass,the interlayer should have below characteristics: High bonding strength,high shearing modulus. High protection capability against hurricane,earthquake,thefts, and sudden impact to avoid collapse. High sustain capability after glass breakage. No color change after years. SentryGlas Plus was invented to fulfill the high structural laminated glass requirement in skyscraper glass facade,large span skylight,oversized laminated glass and all glass structural buildings. SGP laminated glass installation   Features of SGP laminated glass: A.High bearing capability,smaller bending deflection： The shear modulus of SGP is more than 50 times that of PVB, and the tear strength is 5 times higher than that of PVB.The bearing capacity is twice that of PVB laminated glass of equal thickness,meanwhile under the equal load and thickness, the bending deflection of SGP laminated glass is only 1/4 of that of PVB laminated glass. B.Excellent edge stability Edge stability refers to the laminated glass edges durability exposed to atmospheric conditions. PVB glass is not resistant to moisture, it is easy to delaminate under water vapor. The SGP film is not sensitive to moisture, and will not open or separate when used under exposed conditions.So SGP laminated glass is conveniently used for glass railings, canopy, glass fins and other exposed edge components without special edge sealing measures. C.High sustain capability after breakage Once tempered laminated glass is broken, it will be bent and deformed causing the falling off or collapsing dangers. The risk is greater when the glass is installed horizontally on the skylight. The SGP interlayer laminated glass has good integrity.The SGP film can bond the broken glass to form a temporary structure after damage. The deformation is small, and it can withstand a certain amount of load and prevent falling.More details: Post Breakage Strength Testing for Overhead Laminated Glass SGP laminated glass bridge-breakage test   High performance low-E coating insulated glass. With the development of glass technology,energy-saving is becoming more and more important,especially for skyscrapers with thousands square meters glass curtain wall,the energy used for heating and cooling is awesome. Clear float glass U value is 5.8w/m2.k,with new double silver low-E coating and triple silver low-E coating,double glazed units U value can be decreased to 1.5-1.6W/M2.K,with more energy saving measurement,such as filling argon into the insulated glass,and warm edge spacer to decrease the thermal conductivity ,glass U value can be decreased to only 1.1-1.2W/M2.K,which contribute to the overall thermal insulation performance of the glass facade. Thermal-insulation-glass Function of Low-E coatings: The low emissivity coating can reflect the far infrared radiation directly,especially the silver layer inside the soft coated low-E coating can reflect 98% far infrared radiation like mirrors. The coating has little capability absorbing the heat,which will control the glass surface temperature very well, the heat re-radiated out from the glass is little accordingly. Despite controlling the infrared,the coating as a variety options with different visible light transmittance and SC value(0.2-0.7)  to control the ratio of direct solar energy transmitted through the glass,which can be selected by users both in hot and cold areas. low-E coated insulated glass in glass facade   For more details,please check our previous posts: 20 FAQ about low emissivity glass-Glass Guidance Triple silver low-E insulating glass in LEED buildings Difference between Single silver low-E,double silver low e and triple silver low e Insulated glass-feature,thermal performance&calculation tool Conclusions: skyscrapers above 500m in height always use glass curtain walls,including stick curtain wall,unitized curtain wall. Double laminated insulated glass,or laminated insulated glass are priority for skyscrapers.Glass can be heat strengthened ,or low iron glass to decrease glass spontaneous breakage ratio. SGP interlayer is should be considered for the middle layer film. To improve the safety of the glass curtain wall. High performance low-E coatings-double silver low-E,triple silver low-E coatings are applied in the insulated glass to increase facade thermal insulation performance.

Double glazed units,insulated glass Typically glass combination is 5+12A+5, or 6 +12A+6 insulated glass, the matched aluminium frame is stronger and insulated glass offers better sound insulation performance. 3. Frosted Glass & translucent glass. Privacy is the most important factor when building the partition,whether it’s acid etched glass,sandblasted glass,translucent PVB laminated glass, gradient laminated glass, and even translucent glass film that stick on glass surface,patterned glass,all these frosted glass options can be used to protect user’s privacy.Learn more:The ultimate guide for frosted glass &translucent glass Insulated glass with built-in blinds. Insulated glass with built in blinds are sun-shading products, which are generally opened or closed by manual drawstrings or mechanical methods. Relying on advanced technology, the blinds are installed inside the insulated glass,not only retains the beautiful and practical characteristics of the window blinds, but also get rid of the troublesome cleaning. the blinds can be easily lifted or turned 180 degrees. Glass Blocks. Glass blocks is a block or hollow box-shaped glass product made of transparent or colored glass. The main varieties are glass hollow bricks, glass solid bricks, and mosaics are not included. In most cases, glass bricks are not used as facing materials, but as structural materials, used as walls, screens, partitions and other similar functions. Smart Glass. Smart glass,also named PDLC smart privacy glass,it’s new products that can adjust the glass light transmittance from clear to opaque by power,it’s one kind of privacy glass. It’s made by laminating PDLC smart film inside laminated glass,which can be only used in new projects.With the technology development,new smart film that can be sticked on already installed glass or windows was developed.It’s self adhesive film that be used in built projects which offers more option and save much costs for clients. Fireproof glass: In some projects that require fireproof function, fireproof glass are used ,especially single piecehigh borosilicate glass.But do pay attention that the matched framed should also be fireproof. High borosilicate fire-resistant glass contains high borosilicate, boron accounts for 12.5-13.5%, and silicon content is 78-80%. This results in high borosilicate fire-resistant glass with super acid and alkali resistance, and can adapt to a temperature difference of 520℃. It can be kept at 750℃ for a long time without any change, and the softening point can reach above 850℃. The ultra-high softening point provides a fundamental guarantee for the fire performance stably, and the fire resistance time exceeds 120 minutes. With ultra-high transparency, while maintaining the transparency and beauty of the building, it can still ensure people’s vision in the event of a fire to facilitate escape and rescue. Glass Partition maintenance Do not hit directly on the external surface of the high partition wall with sharp tools to avoid leaving scratches, cracks and ditch holes on glass surface. Do not use sanitizers with abrasives or strong acids to avoid damage to the glass. Please use full-effect sanitizer or other mild sanitizer for sanitation. Use a slightly damp soft cloth to absorb the sanitizer, and then wash it with water. Adhesive strip & gasket is the key to ensure the sealing and sound insulation,waterproof effect, if it falls, it should be repaired and replaced in time. The aluminum alloy glass partition can be scrubbed with a soft cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent, not with general soap and washing powder, not to mention strong acid and alkali sanitizers such as decontamination powder and toilet detergent. During use, the aluminum alloy glass partition should be gently pushed and pulled, and the push and pull should follow the installation direction; Fouling and deformation of the aluminum alloy glass partition is the main reason for the aging of the aluminum alloy partition. It is necessary to adhere to the hygiene of the aluminum alloy, especially the hygiene of the splicing joint. A vacuum cleaner can be used to remove the dust accumulation in the tank and the rubber strip. The good maintenance of the glass partition in the office can increase the service life of the partition and maintain the firmness of the partition to ensure the safety of people.

Glass pool fence,together with its similar applications, glass balustrade,glass railings are now an important part of residential and commercial buildings world wide. The fence can be divided into frameless glass pool fence and pin fixed glass pool fences. Framless Glass pool fence This kind of glass fence include 12mm clear or low iron tempered glass, glass spigots,glass clamps.The elegant appearance,simple structure and strong safety warranty is the most popular glass pool fence-morn bm-china-glass-hardware-12mm 12mm clear or low iron tempered glass is the most standard glass panels used,height 1000-1200mm and width varies from 200mm to 2000mm to fit different project requirement.The glass are always with fine polished edges and round corners to avoid possible injury to people. tempered glass with polished edge round corners Tempered glass offer super high strength and safety ,The tempered glass strength is 3-5 times higher than float glass,and international glass standards,BS EN12150,ASTM C1048,AS/NZS2208 have similar impact test requirement against tempered glass to test the glass strength and evaluate the glass safety.The impactor is a ball filled with metal grains,or dual tires weight about 45 kgs,and fall from different heights,usually 350mm,750mm and 1200mm to see if the glass break or not,this is to simulate people hit on glass. Once tempered glass is broken,it will shatter into small fragments,the standards require Minimum 40 particle,while most glass will reach 60-90 particle to ensure its safety and strength. 12mm clear tempered glass for pool fence Glass spigot,The function of glass spigot is to hole the glass ,it’s fixed on the ground with screws,bolts and hole the glass, 2 spigots is required to hole the glass.Glass spigot are usually stainless steel 304 ,or 316 which has much better weather resistance and corrosion resistance.The finish can be mirror finish (more shining and clear),stain finish and brush finish (easier cleaning and maintenance). Some spigot need to have holes on glass for better fixing effect. glass spigot options-MORN Glass Clamp ,Glass clamps are perfect for use on wooden decks where the timber subframe can move in seasonal weather changes keeping your fence line perfectly straight. Clamps materials and finish is same as the spigot,but with different shapes, rectangle,square,round, and 180 degree,90 degree to suit the frameless  straight fences and corners. glass spigot options-MORN-china-pool fence Framless glass pool fence price There should be many pool fence wholesalers or distributors nearby your pool fence,please consult your local company about the price,but if you would like to DIY your pool fence,or large scale projects to install,here is our reference price about the costs component of a fence. 12mm clear tempered glass: USD25/SQM. Glass Spigot: USD 22/PCS. Glass Clamp: USD5/PCS. So that’s the raw materials costs ,unit meters frameless pool fence price is about USD 80,in addition to the installation costs,as the glass length varies,the price is for reference and you can decide using longer glass 1500-2000mm to reduce the hardware costs. Pin fixed Glass pool fence Pin fixed Glass pool fence-morn-china-hardware-glass Different from frameless pool fence that is free stand on the ground ,the pin fixed glass fence is fixed on concrete,it can suite some special pool and save areas for customers.

Download this article:Glass Pool Fence -Types,Safety,Price,Maintenance #### Glass Processing technology -Glass Cutting Glass Processing technology -Glass Cutting Glass cutting is the process of cutting the standard glass panel purchased from the float glass factory according to the order size provided by the clients. Our current machines cutting capability can reach 25mm, the maximum size of is 3300*6000. For 15mm, 19mm thick glass, the extra remained margin is required to be larger, and the chipping may occur during spliting the glass, resulting in uneven glass edge. When cutting the shaped glass, the arc edge is generally hand-polished. When cutting the triangular glass, the corner is too sharp (usually less than 30 degrees) When the cymbal is broken, there will be a broken angle. When cutting glass, always clean the glass chips on the cutting table to avoid scratching the glass. When the glass is placed on iron frame, slowly move it to the shelf to prevent the edge of the glass from being scratched. Glass loading machine The following precautions should be taken when cutting glass: 1) Cutting rate: The glass cutting rate refers to the percentage of the area of ​​a single piece of glass and the actual area of ​​the standard glass panel area. The cutting ratio varies much depending on the order structure and the size of the glass sheet. The minimum is less than 50%, the highest is 100% (using the standard glass sheet directly);the average cutting rate is about 85%. If the delivery time is OK, WE can purchase the appropriate glass sheets to improve the cutting rate. When the delivery time is particularly tight, we will have to sacrifice the cutting rate to save time,the costs is relatively higher. 2) Extra remained cutting margin: When cutting the glass, the distance between the cutting line from the edge kshould not be too small, and it is related to the thickness of the glass. The thicker the glass, the larger the spacing required; generally not less than twice the thickness of the glass. Otherwise, it is impossible to separate the glass; when using a machine to cut glass with a thickness of 10mm or less, the size of the cutting line from the edge of the glass should not be less than 20mm 3) Extra Grinding margin: In order to ensure that the edging does not appear uneven, it is necessary to leave a certain cutting allowance when cutting. The polished edge requires more than that of machine grinding. Table 1 Grinding allowance size table Glass thickness Machine grinded edge Polished edge 3,4 2 2 5,6,8,10 3 4 12 4 5 15 5 8 19 8 10 4) Pay attention to the daily maintenance work of the cutting machine. Stop the machine for 15 minutes before off work every day.

As a construction and decoration material, high temperature printed glass has beautiful, shading and other functions, and is widely used in building decoration, house decoration and other industries. The traditional high temperature printed glass is to print inorganic glaze on the surface of flat glass through screen printing process, and then dry (usually not exceed 200 ℃), sintering (600~700℃ tempering treatement) , the glass ink is permanently sintered to the glass surface, thereby obtaining a glass product with abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, UV and infrared resistance. The product can design patterns according to customer needs and obtain decorative materials with artistic effects and special structural functions. Usually the screen printing pattern is relatively simple. various colors digital print can achieve-Morn glass In recent years, with the maturity of digital printing technology, digital printed glass has been quickly applied in indoor and outdoor decoration due to its beautiful patterns and bright colors. UV printing glass is an earlier generation of full-color digital printing technology that replaces the screen printing process. It is suitable for all kinds of organic substrates such as signs, PVC, acrylic, plastic, leather, cloth, wood board, etc., and there are also attempts to carry out UV printing processing on the surface of metal, glass, stone and so on. Since there was no printing process specifically for glass earlier, and UV printing can achieve rich pattern effects in the environment at the time, UV printing glass has also been accepted and applied by many designers within a certain safety limit. Digital printing VS UV printing Both digital printing and UV printing process on glass surface,both has the advantages of rapid realization in  graphic patterns, and the advantages of flexible graphic pattern design. It is designed in many glass applications that require personalized decoration. But the properties of their materials are completely different. Comprehensive consideration is required in the design and application of glass to avoid the failure or errors. Digitally printed glass products-produced by Dip-tech-Morn Below table shows the difference between digitally printed glass and UV printed glass.

The solidification principle of digital printing glass is to integrate the ceramic digital printing ink into the glass surface after high temperature sintering process. The toner in the ink is mined from various minerals in nature, so it has the ability to blend naturally with glass (the main component SiO₂). , And the performance that will not change color after decades. The inks materials decide the printed glass has perfect weather resistance,acid&alkali resistance,alcohol&water resistance.,it can be used in outdoor glass projects for decades and same lifetime as glass itself. “Dip-Tech” has been developing digital printing since 2005. Digitally printed glass is applied in global projects in various regional climates for over 10 years, and has demonstrated its excellent weather resistance in interior and exterior projects. Outdoor application of digital printed glass-China Morn Glass UV printed glass shortage: UV printed glass use organic inks,In the acid and alkali resistance test and the alcohol resistance test, the UV ink formed wrinkles and fell off. In terms of weather resistance, UV printed glass begins to change color in 30 days in a natural environment, and cracks and curls begin to form after three months; in indoor project applications, the glass is UV-printed glass can be used for 2-3 years. Because UV ink has poor adhesion on smooth glass surface, it can be easily scratched with nails or sharp tools. Quality problem of UV printed glass Digitally printed glass can control the color transparency. The process design of Dip-Tech ceramic digital printing is quite perfect. It can easily achieve various light transmittance requirements of any area and any graphic by customizing the color transparency and controlling the printing ink volume in the printing process. DIGITAL PRINTING can achieve color transparency Gradient glass with gradient color effect can be achieved benefiting from this advantage. Gradient color effect of digital printed glass Some high-end UV printing equipment also has the function of adjusting the ink volume, but organic ink still cannot produce the effect of high opacity, so common color UV single-layer printing is transparent color effect. 3.Digital printed glass can be further made into tempered,laminated glass,and insulated glass. The solidification principle of ceramic digital printing is to melt through the tempering process of 680-720℃, so it must be tempered after printing. The tempering process include tempering,heat strengthen,heat soaked,curved,hot bending ,as well as further laminating and insulating process to increase the glass safety and energy saving performance. curved glass partition made with digital printed glass-China Morn Tha maximum temperature of UV inks is 120 ℃，glass cannot be tempered and further processing,to increase the glass safety,UV printing must be applied on already flat tempered glass. digital printed glass applied in exterior glass facade With the advancement of industrial printing technology, the accuracy of digital printing has gradually increased from 300dpi to 1200dpi or even higher, and its printing speed has also increased from the initial 10sqm/h hour to more than 100sqm/h.

Download this article here:Glass processing-Digital printing VS UV printing #### Glass processing-Laminated Glass processing Glass processing-Laminated Glass processing Below video shows clearly the laminating line structure and component: 2.1 Preparation and selection of glass The glass used for laminated glass is float glass, tempered glass, heat-treated glass, ceramic fritted glass, reflective glass, LOW-E glass, etc. Before processing, glass should be selected according to the internal control standard of laminated glass. Waves, stones, scratches, chipping, check the flatness of the glass for tempered glass; due to the unevenness of the glass, the glass and film cannot be completely bonded during the pressing process. 2.2 Glass cleaning In order to eliminate the dust, dirt, greasy and dirty of the glass surface, it is necessary to carefully wash the glass. Even if a small amount of greasy oil remains on the surface of the glass, the oil will greatly reduce the adhesion of the film to the glass; the tempered glass should be cleaned along the direction of tempering to ensure that the bending direction of the two glasses. Glass-washing-machine 2.3 Laminating process The laminating process is carried out in the dust free laminating room. The staff is required to replace the cleaning sneakers before entering the laminating room, wear the cleaning work hood and gloves, and record the temperature of the laminating room. Humidity and moisture content of the film. The temperature and humidity of the laminating room were controlled at 20 ± 3 ° C and the humidity was controlled at 23 ± 3%. Dirty-free-laminating-room 1.) PVB film storage and cutting According to the order, the PVB film should be transported to the laminating room 2-3 days in advance for drying.The film should be 10-20mm larger than glass size. 2.) laminating the glass with interlayer When laminating, check the quality and cleanliness of the glass, and wipe the water and dirt with a dry special paper towel. If there is no smudge, then spread the film on the glass. The film must be laid flat without overlapping. Then, the second piece of glass is stacked. the stacking difference shall not exceed 1.5mm each side, the film shall be 5mm larger than glass. Laminated-glass-processing-laminating 2.4 Glass compressing The purpose of the pre-pressing is to remove the air between the glass and the film so that air is not trapped during the pressing, and bubbles are generated. The glass and the film are initially bonded together, and there is no staggering between the sheets when pressing, and the external moisture does not penetrate into the laminated glass. The temperature control has a decisive influence on the quality of the pre-pressed glass. if the glass temperature is high, the glass and film are prematurely bonded together, and the edges and the back are sealed too early. The air is difficult to remove and form bubbles, if the temperature is too low, which will reduce the adhesion of the film to the glass, so that the film and the glass are not firmly bonded, the edge sealing is not good, and the external gas enters the film during the pressing process; Therefore, it is required to control the temperature appropriately. It is necessary to adjust the temperature of each zone according to the season and climate conditions, and to ensure the temperature of the glass. The control of the pressure also has a great relationship with the quality of the pre-pressed glass. Since the film is a plastic material, under the action of pressure, the glass and the film have a little unevenness, and may be flattened. The pressure control depends on the processed glass. The thickness, the thicker the glass, the greater the pressure, but the pressure will be too high to crush the glass, the pressure is too low, the glass and film are not firmly bonded, the edge is not well sealed, and the product will have bubbles, so the pressure adjustment should be appropriate. . According to the production status of our company, different pressures should be selected according to the thickness of the processed sandwich products. The speed control has a great relationship with the temperature. At the same furnace temperature, the faster the speed, the lower the temperature at which the glass is discharged. On the contrary, the higher the temperature is, the speed is adjusted according to the thickness of the glass, and the premise of the glass exit temperature is guaranteed. The slower the speed, the slower the speed and the better the rolling effect. The pre-pressed laminated glass is a semi-finished product. Place it on the glass rack and sent into the autoclave for processing as soon as possible. The glass cannot be placed in the atmosphere for a long time; otherwise,the moisture will enter the interior of the laminated glass through the film, causing bubbles in the laminated glass. 2.5 Autoclave -high temperature &pressure treatment After the autoclave working process is finished, the temperature in the autoclave will continue to drop to 45 °C,move the glass outside asap or round bubbles will appear under high temperature. Trim the glass edge and packing.   Morn is your turnkey laminated glass supplier from China,welcome contact us for more info.

We’ve all heard the jarring crack of a pebble or piece of road debris hitting our car windshield. We may see an immediate pinhole or crack and know this will inevitably spider-web its way across the glass and cause the windshield to break if left untreated. That a tiny impact can cause significant glass damage isn’t limited to our vehicles. Similar issues happen with commercial glazing. Minor edge damage during glass handling, a scratch or nick during installation, a design flaw, or a natural imperfection in the glass could all result in spontaneous breakage – the seemingly unprompted shattering of glass. For design and construction professionals, understanding how and why glass breaks can be key to prevention. SAFETY GLAZING In general, glass is made by fusing silica (a component of sand), sodium carbonate (or soda ash, which lowers the melting point of silica), and calcium oxide (or lime, which adds chemical stability) together at a high temperature. The glass is then cooled, shaped, and cooled further (a process called annealing) to stabilize and strengthen it. Standard annealed glass can be used for windows in low-traffic areas, but most codes mandate safety glazing instead. If broken, annealed glass will shatter into sharp shards and pieces.    Left: standard annealed glass breaks into sharp shards; Right: toughened or tempered glass shatters into tiny pebble-size pieces Safety glazing reduces injury potential from breakage. The glass is treated to strengthen and change its breakage properties. There are two main types of safety glazing: tempered glass and laminated glass. Heat-strengthened glass provides more stability than annealed but cannot be considered safety glazing because it has the potential to form large shards when broken. Both tempered and heat-strengthened glass are heat treated to 1200 degrees F (650 degrees C) and force-cooled to create surface or edge compression. Tempered glass is cooled very quickly, creating higher surface and edge compression. Heat-strengthened glass is cooled slower for lower surface and edge compression than tempered glass, but still higher properties than annealed glass.                                                                                                 Diagram showing heat-strengthened glass Also called toughened glass, tempered glass has been heat treated for a minimum surface compression of 10,000 PSI and impact resistance four times stronger than annealed glass. The fast cooling – or quenching – process puts the surfaces and edges of glass in compression while the center remains in tension. The process changes the break characteristic of the glass, so that when shattered, it breaks into tiny pebble-size pieces and reduces the injury potential of sharp shards. Tempered glass cannot be cut. Heat-strengthened glass has been heat treated for a surface compression of 3,500-7,500. At twice the surface compression of annealed glass, heat-strengthened glazing is used in place of general glazing where additional thermal and wind protection are desired. Another safety glazing option, laminated glass uses a combination of heat and pressure to sandwich one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between two or more layers of glass. The laminated glass layers hold the panel together in case of breakage while increasing strength and edge stability.                                                                                                Laminated glass illustration courtesy JE Berkowitz CAUSES OF BREAKAGE An inherently fragile building material, glass always has the potential to break. While manufacturers produce safety glazing and self-healing coatings, and develop new methods to make glass stronger and safer, design and construction professionals must be mindful of common causes of breakage and preventive measures. HANDLING DAMAGE The most common cause of glass breakage comes from edge or surface damage during handling. Even the slightest nick or chip in the glass during packaging, shipping, or installation can – over time and natural expansion and contraction through temperature changes and subtle building movement – build up a stress concentration around the imperfection, which can lead to future breakage. Although seemingly spontaneous, these types of breaks have a natural cause. Proper handling by trained professional glaziers is a primary means to help avoid these types of breaks. FRAME-RELATED BREAKAGE If the gaskets, setting blocks, or edge blocks in a metal window or curtain frame are missing, damaged, or not sufficient to cushion the glass against glass-to-metal contact caused by temperature changes and building movement, stresses can accumulate that eventually lead to breakage. Building or framing system movement due to wind or environmental conditions may also contribute to glass-to-metal contact. An improperly engineered glass pane that is too large or thin for its location can be damaged by wind or weather. Careful design review, proper engineering, and professional installation can prevent frame-related spontaneous breakage. THERMAL STRESS BREAKAGE With increased emphasis on natural daylighting and passive solar design, thermal stress-related glass breakage should be a concern. When the center of a pane of glass becomes hotter than its edge, expansion of the heated glass center can create tensile stress around the edge. If the thermal stress exceeds the edge strength, the glass can break. Large insulated glass units (IGUs), particularly in combination with solar control coatings, require thermal analysis to avoid stressrelated breakage. Thermal modeling and design adjustments can be made during the design phase to reduce thermal stressrelated spontaneous breakage. INCLUSION BREAKAGE It’s relatively rare, but during the tempering process, nickel contaminants in the float glass can cause nickel sulfide stones to form. Over time, when the installed tempered glass is exposed to natural temperature changes, the tiny stone may expand, causing the glass to shatter. Nickel sulfide stones can be present in annealed and heatstrengthened glass, but are not subject to spontaneous breakage because the slower cooling cycle either halts the stones’ phase change or traps them before they can expand volumetrically. There’s no known technology to eliminate nickel sulfide stones and they can be so small – 0.003 to 0.015 inches in diameter – that there’s also no way to visually inspect for their presence in float glass. microscopic nickel sulfide inclusion ASTM guidelines permit blemishes, including nickel sulfide stones, of between 0.020 and 0.1 of an inch, but this is much larger than the typical stone size. Refer to ASTM C1036 Standard Specification for Flat Glass for full details. Some manufacturers take precautions for nickel-sulfide stone presence. PPG and other North American glass manufacturers do not use nickel in any primary batch formulations, ban nickelbearing metals from operations, and employ magnetic separators. PPG also recommends heat-strengthened glass when heat-treated glass is needed, except where codes mandate safety glazing. Industry consultant Bill Coddington, cited in a 2008 Glass.com article stated, “The primary glass plants in the United States do an excellent job selecting the raw materials and production equipment used in order to minimize the chances that nickel could be introduced into the float glass batch.” Minor edge damage during glass handling,scratch or nick during installation,design flaw, or a natural imperfection result in glass spontaneous breakage.   Minor edge damage during glass handling,scratch or nick during installation,design flaw, or a natural imperfection result in glass spontaneous breakage.   From top: two examples of glass edge damage (top image courtesy Bruening Glass Works); tempered glass breakage – note the glass remains within the frame; possible inclusion break identified by “butterfly-wing” break pattern at center HEAT SOAKING Heat soaking is often used in high-demand applications such as point-supported walls, or when reducing probability of spontaneous breakage is a priority. Examples include railings, doors, heavy tempered glass, and insulating glass units. During heat soaking, a sample batch or full lot of tempered glass panels is exposed to temperatures of 288 to 316 degrees C (550 to 660 degrees F) for up to four hours in order to test for and mitigate inclusions. The process prompts any inclusions to change phase and break the glass before it is shipped. The industry disagrees about heat soaking’s “break-now-notlater” approach. The process reduces the probability of inclusionrelated breakage, but can’t prevent or guarantee other inclusions might not change and spur breakage in the future. In fact, the process can cause small, stable inclusions to begin phase change during heat soaking and potentially complete the transformation after the glass is installed. Heat soaking can also negatively affect surface compression and inherent strength properties, and the added process – and its associated handling – can create more chances for edge damage, scratches, or changes to surface coating properties. Heat soaking after fabrication may destroy some flawed glass panels, but is a costly, time-consuming process that will not eliminate all nickel sulfide inclusions. JE Berkowitz offers heat soaking to reduce the incidence of spontaneous breakage due to nickel sulfide inclusions and fabrication damage in tempered glass, adhering to the international standard EN 14179-1:2005 (HST). The standard, officially Glass in Building – Heat Soaked Thermally Toughened Soda Lime Silicate Safety Glass, defines the heat soak process system together with tolerances for flatness, edgework, fragmentation, and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in buildings. In the JE Berkowitz heat soaking process, fully tempered glass is stacked in a specially constructed and certified oven, heated to 550 degrees F, and gradually cooled. The total process takes about six hours: two hours to ramp up the temperature, approximately two to four hours of dwell time, and another two hours to ramp down the temperature. Thermal cupples are placed on the glass to monitor temperatures. Yet, the process only reduces probability of breakage from a standard eight lites in 1,000 to five lites in 1,000. #### Glass staircase -glass types and configuration Glass staircase -glass types and configuration Traditional staircase are usually cements,ceramic one,but if your design a staircase that is made of glass,the whole visual effect and elegant appearance will be much brilliant. China-staircase-glass-supplier-morn   Here we introduce the glass configurations of staircase glass and some special treatment to the staircase. 1.Glass configuration. Safety is the most important consideration when you design a glass staircase,but because tempered glass will be numerous fragments after breaking,so laminated glass is priority. Typical staircase configuration is: 10+1.52PVB+10 tempered laminated glass 12+1.52PVB/2.28PVB+12 tempered laminated glass sometimes,three layer glass will be used to increase the glass strengthen. multi-layer-laminated-glass-supplier   The glass can be clear one,or low iron glass.If you want more safety,then SGP laminated glass shall be considered. 2.Edge:Must be flat polished to achieve better visual effect. 3.Glass surface: Most glass is natural surface,but in case of falling down or possible injury,anti slip glass(a kinds of acid etched glass)that have some dots or cross on glass surface ito increase the friction. Or,special anti slip silk screen glass which is processed with anti slip inks can be used. 4.Color:The PVB or SGP can be clear one,or frosted glass. glass-staircase-glass-design   5.Shape:Most glass are rectangle,but some special design can make it special shape to fit the design requirement.

At the same time, it limit the penetration of infrared heat radiation, reaching better the thermal insulation performance. Low-E coated glass is being used as an environmentally-friendly and energy-saving high-performance building material, which is widely used in construction, automobiles. In modern buildings, the energy-saving and ornamental requirements of curtain wall glass are getting higher and higher. For areas with different climatic conditions, it is particularly important to choose suitable curtain wall glass. Sometimes in order to meet the design requirements, a combination of body tinted glass and Low-E coating is selected. This article will be based on the performance of single silver, double silver and triple silver coating on different glass substrates, and analysis how glass substrate affect coating performance . Parameter to evaluate glass thermal performance Evaluating the heat transferred through the glass consists of two parts, one is the heat energy transmitted through solar radiation, and the other is the heat energy transferred by the environmental temperature difference and long-wave infrared radiation on both sides of the glass. Usually we use SC-shading coefficient and U value to measure it. The smaller the Sc, the smaller the solar energy entering the room. Transfer heat from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object: heat conduction, heat convection, and thermal radiation. U value is the heat transfer coefficient, which reflects the heat transfer characteristics of glass and reflects the heat preservation performance of glass. Under the same environmental conditions, the lower the U value, the less heat transfer through the glass, and the better the heat preservation performance of the glass. Beside that,LSG ( light to solar heat gain) is another parameter showing the glass performance, higher LSG means,under same light transmittance condition, lower solar energy transmitted the glass.

Insulated glass U value won’t affected by the glass substrate. Compared with single silver low-E,double one has better LSG.But applied on low light transmittance body tinted glass,SC won’t decrease significantly which will lose its energy advantage. Different LSG of double silver low-E coating on different substrate Triple silver low-E coatings has the same conclusion. Applied with same low-E coatings,different substrate will have different light and heat characteristics. Low iron glass exhibits higher transmittance and selectivity in double silver and triple silver coatings, as well as excellent energy-saving properties. 8 triple silver low-E+12AR+8C+12AR+13.52 LAMI Although green glass has higher LSG in some IGU systems, its visible light transmittance is lower. However, dark color body tinted are not suitable for large-area curtain walls due to their low transmittance. In practical applications, we found that the curtain wall using ultra-white glass not only has excellent energy-saving properties, but also has a good appearance effect. If no special requirements for tglass curtain wall colors t,it’s suggested to use glass combination of low iron glass with Low-E coatings to have better energy-saving characteristics and ideal appearance. In Southeast Asian and Middle East countries,customers prefer using glass combination of grey glass and low-E coatings,even though overall light transmittance can be controlled below 25%,but solar coefficient is not good as expected.

Compared with wooden table tops,glass is not affected by the air,it won’t deform due to unsuitable humidity. Compared with fabric and leather tops,it’s more easy to clean and maintenance,and occupies little space. Compared with plastic tops,glass is more environmental friendly,no pollution,no emissivity. Glass itself is more fashion with variety shape,as well as shining appearance,rectangle,oval,irregular shape. Glass tables is easy to combine with other furniture,the simple and clear lines,transparent visual effects make it stand out. glass tables with pet rest room-morn Glass options used in the glass tables: Classification based on processing:Hot bending glass and tempered glass,laminated glass. Even though Hot bending glass strength is not good as tempered glass,but the special processing technology makes hot bending glass unlimited shapes and styles.Hot bending glass can be made into small radius,90 degree,double curved glass,which cannot be achieved by tempered glass. hot bending glass tables-morn-china Tempered glass is the most common glass types,it has strong resistance to stress, cold and heat, and impact.The advantages of toughened glass in terms of safety, high strength and thermal stability are not available in float glass. At the same time, its price is not expensive. conference room-glass conference table-morn Laminated glass is made with 2 piece glass,whether it’s clear float glass or tempered glass,the advantage of laminated glass is,once any piece glass broken,the interlayer will bond the broken pieces to avoid glass collapse,and injury to people.of course its price is relatively higher than same thickness tempered glass as processing is much more complex. laminated glass table top options-MORN Classification based on glass colors:translucent glass ,translucent glass,and opaque glass.patterned glass,back painted glass,ceramic frit glass.Clear float glass,or low iron glass is popular because of its clear appearance.People can easily see through the glass. end glass tables with clear float glass-low iron glass Sometimes to compatible with the house overall decoration color tone,body tinted glass is preferred,especially grey tinted glass,bronze glass,green glass, and blue color glass,these colors are usually in dark tone. body tinted glass tables-coffee tables-side tables For some reason,customers don’t want to use translucent table tops but to select translucent ,and even opaque glass to make it difference,these glass include patterned glass,back painted glass,ceramic frit glass.Especially the ceramic frit glass,with patterns,whether it’s lines,dots ,all make it different. Glass tables-coffee table with back painted glass-MORN ceramic frit glass table tops-morn coffee table-patterned glass table top-body tinted glass table The glass used as table tops are always with polished edges, pencil polished edges,bevelled edges to make the glass edge shine and safety.Round corners are also available to protect people,and sometimes with holes on it to fix on the base. glass edge-round corner-bevened edge-polished edge-pencil edge straight polished edge-pencil polished edge-ogee edge Glass table maintenance: Actually glass table tops has very very low maintenance requirement,just keep the glass clean timely. glass dinning tables-tempered glass-morn If glass get mildewed after long time ,move the table to a well-ventilated place, and an electric iron should be used for 2-3 minutes in a place with mildew stains until the mildew stains disappear. Wipe glasswith a wet towel or newspaper. If you encounter stains, you can wipe it off with a towel dipped in beer or warm vinegar,alcohol,or salt water. You can also use one currently on the market.

The building’s tiered construction is designed for high energy efficiency and sustainability,contains multiple separate zones ,such as office, retail and leisure use. The Tower takes the form of nine cylindrical buildings stacked atop one another, all enclosed by the inner layer of the glass facade, which completes a 120-degree twist as it rises. Between the inner and outer layer of the facade are nine indoor zones that provide public space for visitors. In recognition of the building’s sustainable design, Shanghai Tower Construction & Development received certifications from the US Green Building Council and China Green Building Committee. Gensler is the tower architect, identified three key design strategies — the tower’s asymmetrical form, its tapering profile and its rounded corners – which would allow the building to withstand the typhoon force winds that are common in Shanghai. Using wind tunnel tests conducted in a Canadian lab, Gensler and structural engineer Thornton Tomasetti, refined the tower’s form, which reduced building wind loads by 24%. The result is a lighter structure that saved $58 million in costly construction materials. The structure of the outer glass facade is: 12 mm Low-Iron heat strengthened glass + 1.52 mm SentryGlas® interlayer + 12 mm Low-Iron heat strengthened glass. The inner glass facade glass combination is: 6 mm Low-Iron glass + 0.89 mm SentryGlas® interlayer + 6mm Low-Iron glass + 12 Air + 6 mm Low-Iron glass. SHANGHAI TOWER GLASS   More than 200,000 square metres of SentryGlas® interlayer is used in the double skin glass facades.The  reasons for choosing SentryGlas® as the interlayer were the enhanced strength that it provided to the overall glass assembly and the elimination of any edge delamination due to exposed glass edges in the structural silicone glazing. SentryGlas® also contributed to the overall sustainability of the tower by allowing a light coating to be used in conjunction with the interlayer for solar control.

USA: Affected by the epidemic, American people’s demand for Chinese goods has soared. They snapped up Chinese-made furniture, electrical appliances, and bicycles. The containers carrying Chinese imported goods were stacked six stories high like Lego bricks. Truck drivers crowded in the parking lot and had to wait for hours to pick up the goods. The Port of Los Angeles, the largest port in the United States, is continuing to bear the pressure of a large number of containers entering the port. At the same time, the port is heavily congested and a large number of ships are waiting to berth. The surge in container imports has also caused congestion in the port, making it more difficult for trucks and trucks to quickly move goods out of the port. The congestion situation in US ports has not been significantly eased. According to a report from the Southern California Ocean Exchange, there are at least 47 ships waiting to enter the port at the anchorages outside the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Among them, 34 are container ships with a total capacity of more than 270,000 TEU. The largest ship is 16,022 TEU. In addition, as the epidemic continues to spread in the United States, the number of confirmed cases in the United States has been increasing, and a large number of logistics industry practitioners are also unable to continue working due to pneumonia. Many logistics parks in the United States are facing serious manpower shortages. United Kingdom: Felixstowe, the largest port in the UK, usually handles 40% of all container traffic in the UK, and now the average ship stays in the port for more than 32 hours. This series of conditions forces shippers to transfer cargo to other ports. Since the end of last year, Maersk and MSC have replaced the port of Felixstowe with the port of Liverpool on their TA2/NEUATL2 loop route across the Atlantic. Affected by the epidemic, ports in the United States, Poland, Brazil, Germany, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and other countries have suffered serious congestion.   Trucks waiting in line to enter the Port of Dover, Kent, are undergoing document checks This measure introduced as a result of Brexit resulted in hundreds of British truck drivers being fined for crossing Kent without permission. Since January 1, the UK is no longer bound by EU rules. Since the new rules came into effect, the British police have issued 407 fines. Australia: Recently, Australia’s container supply chain has been in constant chaos, and this problem may not be effectively resolved in a short period of time. Due to previous strikes, the ship’s schedule was disrupted, resulting in a backlog of cargo for “8 to 10 weeks”. However, the union denied that the strike was mainly due to the reason, and the union said the surge in transportation demand was the main reason. Ports of New South Wales pointed out that there are truck queues on Simblist and Friendship roads almost every day. Sometimes these trucks in queue not only cause serious congestion, but also create potential safety issues that must be resolved. Malaysia   The busiest West Port of Klang has experienced serious congestion. Due to the increase in congestion, many wholesalers and retailers said that the congestion of containers in the West Port of Port Klang caused delivery delays for more than one month, which increased unnecessary costs. port-congestion-in-Malaysia   The staff of Port Klang Authority recently disclosed that after the container congestion problem occurred in Port Klang, the bureau set up a work team headed by the Ministry of Transport. In the past month, the work team has implemented a number of countermeasures, so the congestion problem has been resolved. Significant improvement has been achieved, among which the waiting time for cargo ships to dock for loading and unloading has been significantly reduced from an average of 5 days last month to 24 hours. After taking timely response measures, it has effectively improved and eased the container congestion in the Port of Klang. All refrigerated containers that have been stopped have been quarantined and cleared within one day. India Due to the gradual weakening of the hurricane, the port of Katupali has resumed normal export shipments. The port is deploying all necessary resources to reduce berthing delays and quickly transshipment. Nigeria In Nigeria’s busiest ports, TinCan Port and Apapa Port in Lagos, due to port cargo congestion, no less than 43 ships loaded with various cargoes are currently trapped in the waters of Lagos. Due to the limited space in the port, many ships cannot enter and unload, and can only stay at sea. The congestion in the port of Lagos is so serious that the cost of these trucks to transport a container 20 kilometers inland in Nigeria may exceed $4,000, which is almost equivalent to the cost of transporting 12,000 nautical miles from China. At present, the abnormal congestion of ports in many countries and the increase in ocean freight prices have stimulated the nerves of aviation traders. The goods exported by some manufacturers to the United States, due to unloaded goods and delayed customs clearance, could not be delivered to the buyer’s warehouse on time. They had to throw the goods and abandon the goods, causing heavy losses. In the near future, pay attention to the development of major ports in time, so as to avoid problems and stop losses in time.

The freight will increase twice in three days, shall we deliver goods or not? I want to ship, where can I find the container? Find the container, where to find the shipping space? What should I do if the shipping schedule is delayed if I get a space at a high price? Finally arrived at the destination port, what should I do if the port is congested? Floating in the sea… Data shows by 18th,June, over 350 ships wait outside the 101 congested ports worldwide. port congestion-MORN Recently, shipping companies released their first quarter financial reports, and many have achieved the highest performance in history. Maersk’s first quarter profit set a record COSCO SHIPPING Holdings makes 170 million yuan a day In the first quarter of 2021, it achieved a net profit of 15.45 billion yuan attributable to its parent, a year-on-year increase of 5200.62%. The performance of Evergreen Shipping hits a record high Although its container ships blocked the Suez Canal and faced sky-high compensation, Evergreen Shipping broke the best quarterly revenue in its history in the first quarter of this year. HMM turned a loss to profit for the first time in 10 years South Korea’s HMM achieved its first profit since 2011. In the first quarter of this year, the operating profits of HMM and SM Merchant Shipping are likely to exceed the operating profits of the entire 2020. In the current situation of “surging sea freight”, shipping companies are brewing a new wave of price increases. Taking Hapag-Lloyd as an example, the general freight rates from East Asia to the United States and Canada have been increased. shipping fees increase in 2021 “Affected by the superimposition of multiple factors, the demand for international container transportation has been concentrated since June 2020. In addition to the necessary repairs and maintenance, the major liner companies have basically put all their shipping capacity into the market.” Reasons for shipping price increase in 2021 global port congestion-morn-2021 “Affected by factors such as insufficient labor caused by the spread of the Covid-19abroad, ports in the United States, Europe and other places have experienced severe congestion since the fourth quarter of 2020. For example, the most congested ports in the United States, Los Angeles and Long Beach, are currently waiting for more than 30 container ships, 85 % Of ships need to anchor at least 8 days to operate; container cargo stays at the terminal for up to 2 months; and European routes generally stay at multiple ports. Due to congestion in major ports, the entire voyage time is lengthened.” “Foreign ports are congested, the logistics supply chain is disordered, and the efficiency is reduced. This has led to large-scale delays in container liner schedules. The on-time rate has dropped from more than 70% to the current 20%, which has seriously affected the operational efficiency of container ships. The contradiction between the capacity of container ships and the supply and demand of empty containers. Problems such as tight capacity, shortage of empty containers, and rising freight rates have become global problems. Vietnam, India, South Korea and other countries have also seen rapid increases in freight rates. The high freight rate is mainly due to the stable situation in China. the influx of a large number of overseas orders, and the lack of shipping capacity . China-US trade has recovered, and the number of sea containers sent from China to the United States has increased by 46.5% to 987,833. This accounts for about 60% of Asia’s total volume. In 2021 April , the volume of maritime container shipments from Asia to the United States increased by 32.1% It has increased for 10 consecutive months, setting a record high in a single month in April . port operating-morn-2021 It is difficult for container shipping prices to decrease. What are the shippiers and customers are facing? The freight rate of a high cabinet on European routes has exceeded 10,000 US dollars; the freight rates of the East and West routes have exceeded five digits; the freight rates of the East and West US routes have reached the level of 7000 US dollars and 9000 US dollars. . “Since April,2021, the’ difficult to find a container ‘ has once again troubled us. we cannot book a container in May, and the price for a 40-foot container on the West Coast route was US$9,000, which was nearly double that at the end of 2020. Orders are waiting to be shipped.” A seller couldn’t help calling “too difficult.” In late June, the price of a 40-foot container from Tianjin to the US East is expected to rise to “17,000-18,000”. “Some freight forwarders even offer more than 20,000 US dollars.” Beside that, but now our containers from Qingdao Port have to stay in China for more than one month. Even if the plan is not delayed, it will take at least 70 days to arrive in Poland. Moreover, shipping companies are now picking and choosing the goods and the arrival port. The business that had no problem before is now stuck because of the shipping problem. And the logistics enterprises between the cargo owner and the ship owner have increased their workload several times. They are receiving goods and looking for ships every day. The chairman of a logistics group in Ningbo, Zhejiang said: “We are now ordering more than 10,000 containers per day, and now less than 50% of the actual shipments. The lack of space and boxes still exist.” port congestion -morn-2021 Facing the terrible situation of rising freight rates, shortage of containers, and congestion, the US import and export giant Home Depot has launched a charter operation. Home Depot is the world’s leading retailer of household building materials and the second largest retailer in the United States. It is located in the United States, Canada, Mexico and other regions. It ranks third in the newly released 2020 Top 100 US Buyers and Consignee Imports. In 2020, its ocean purchases exceed 520,000 TEU. home depot-morn-2021 A company the size of Home Depot has long-term contracts with shipping companies. However, due to rising freight rates and various congestion conditions, Home Depot found that it may really not be able to counter the negative impact of the current rapid increase in shipping prices. So it’s time to charter a boat. homedepot announcement   Some unexpected events have made global trade more difficult. The blockage of the Suez Canal affected the daily flow of more than 55,000 TEUs for 6 days, with a total volume of 330,000 TEU. Yantian Port has been unable to handle the daily flow of nearly 25,000 TEUs. In 14 days, this figure reached 357,000 TEUs. In addition, the congestion problem has not been resolved, and the impact is spreading to neighboring ports. According to Refinitiv data cited by Reuters, more than 50 container ships were waiting to dock in the outer Zhujiang River Delta on Friday. Even if the crisis is resolved, we will see the impact of the surge in cargo. Due to the increase in detention time, congestion may occur in the destination port, which has a delay of about 2 to 5 weeks. Currently, Yantian’s export business is beginning to recover, albeit at a very slow pace. An industry insider said, “The terminal is expected to increase its operations to 60% in the next two weeks, so I think this will continue until we see the recovery of Yantian, at least around the end of June.” Now over 298 container ships with total over 3 million TEU capability have decided to omit Shenzhen port. trucks on the way-yantian port The increased shipping fees and disordered shipping market has caused many oversea orders been canceled,especially for some low costs products, steel, float glass,plywood, and some thermal insulation products.A glass trading company in Qingdao which relied on float and laminated glass export told us that the revenue decreased by 50% compared with 2020. Shipping on the sea As glass manufacturer and exporter in China,Morn BM’s business was also affected by the increasing shipping fees,some customers claimed to cancel the order which was delayed delivery for the pending and pending departure ships. We sincerely hope customers understand the situation now and calculate the costs of the final goods,and then decide should you really need to purchase from China now,it’s really hard time for everyone.

The greenhouse glass require high light transmittance and low reflectivity to achieve the most solar transmittance. Most widely used greenhouse glass are : 3mm/4mm  Tempered Glass: Clear Tempered glss and low iron tempered glass usually used in traditional glass greenhouse because of it’s low costs and high cost performance. Glass-Performance-Data   Diffused Glass: With the development of technology,new glass that require higher light transmittance and low reflective glass appeared: Diffuse light can be created by means of diffused glass, It has a positive effect on many crops, such as better diffusion of light, better reach of the light, less stress to the crop and a lower temperature within the crop. Diffused glass is usually low iron patterned glass,the costs is a bit higher than normal flat clear glass. Diffused-Glass-Morn   AR Coated Glass: AR coated glass or AR coated Anti-Reflective Glass is also known as enhanced transmission glass or anti reflective glass. AR-coated-glass-supply-Morn   The features of AR coated glass: The highest visible light transmittance is 99%, and the average visible light transmittance is over 95%. The average reflectance is less than 4%, and the lowest value is less than 0.5% Resistant to ultraviolet rays, effectively protecting the eyes.  High temperature resistance. The best scratch and abrasion resistance. It can withstand all kinds of cleaning agents to clean the acid and alkali cleaning agent. Strong impact resistance, the impact performance of 3mm thick glass is equivalent to 6mm acrylic. Insulated Glass(double glazed units): Sometimes people use double glazed units as well for their greenhouse construction to keep the best thermal insulation effect. To meet the high requirement of greenhouse and conservatory manufacturers’ , Morn now developed W1.1 and W1.16 low e coating which is the perfect glass solution for conservatory glass. Similar as AGC Iplus to 1.1 products,W1.1 and W1.16 have below features: Temperable: The coating is processed with vacuum sputtering low-E coating line,the tough coating can resist the 700’degrees high temperature and make the glass work as safety glass.The glass can be tempered,heat strengthened and bendable to fit the design. Various sub-glass options.The coating can be coated on clear glass and low iron glass for different visual effect.Coating on low iron glass will offer higher light transmittance and higher solar energy transmittance. High light transmittance.The insulated glass made with W1.1 and W1.16 can reach 82% ,If both glass are clear ,light transmittance is 79%. Excellent thermal insulation effect.The insulated glass made with W1.1and W1.16 keeps low U value which equal or better than double silver low-E. When argon was filled,and warm edge spacer was used,the U value can decrease again to lowest 1.1 and 1.16W/M2.K.That ‘s also the name source of W1.1 and W1.16.

The greenhouse thermal insulation is an very important factor  that affect the interior temperature.while glass is the deciding thermal conductive.Greenhouse glass types are below: Traditional Greenhouse glass are  3mm or 4mm tempered glass ,the advantage is cheap and higher light transmittance,high strength to offer impact resistance.But the shortage is high glass U value,which means the solar energy that pass through the glass.Usually 3mm or 4mm tempered glass U value is 5.8W/M2.In summer ,the greenhouse temperature will increase very high if there’s insufficient ventilate facility or measure,while in the winter,the inside temperature will be very low,owners have to use air conditioner to keep the indoor warm. diffused-glass-greenhouse—morn-building-materials   New insulated glass are used in more and more greenhouse projects.Compared with traditional single glazing glass,it’s price maybe 3-4 times higher,but it has low U value and the indoor temperature can be controlled very well. Low-iron-glass-greenhouse-morn-building-materials   double glazed units is widely used in buildings,especially in high rise buildings to increase he building energy efficient,clear double glazed units U value is only half of single piece glass,about 2.8W/M2.When high performance low e coated is applied,the U value can decrease again to 1.6 or even 1.1W/m2.In Summer,it reflect most solar energy and keep indoor cool and in winter,it prevent the heat going outside. greenhouse-insulated-glass-suppliers-morn-building-materials   Despite above 2 mentioned glass,there’s also hard coated low e glass.It’s low e coating on single piece glass,it’s energy efficient is between single piece tempered glass and double glazed units,U value 3.8w/M2 but can have 80% high light transmittance.It’s will a perfect option for most greenhouse owners.

Most tempered glass are 3mm,3.2mm, or 4mm glass. Factors affect tempered glass: a.As thinner glass require much larger wind pressure to help forming the compress and strength of tempered glass,so thinner glass processing is more difficult than thick one. b.Larger glass processing is difficult than small glass,large piece glass overall will easily occurs. To guarantee the best quality glass, recommended largest size are: 4mm glass: 2000mm *1800mm. 3.2mm glass: 1800*1200mm. 3mm glass:1800*1200mm.

Meanwhile the processing requirement is also very strict:Diagonal size deviation is controlled within ±3mm, the verticality size deviation of the 17M curtain wall is controlled within ±5mm, the sealant gap width deviation is within ±2mm. Here are more pictures about the project: Ultra long glass installation at site Glass fin- ultra long 17M glass fin made in China Due to the owner’s adjustment of the project’s function and the refined design of the lobby, the construction period of the super large glass curtain wall was passively postponed three times, with a time span of more than three years. But Northglass and Jangho curtain wall realized zero damage, zero replacement, zero accidents, fulfilled the solemn promise of Jangho people, and finally handed over a very satisfactory answer to the customer About Northglass: NorthGlass started the cooperation with Apple in 2008 and officially started the research and development of super large curtain wall glass. In 2009, it developed 12.8 meters super large curved tempered glass and applied it to Shanghai Pudong Apple Store. In 2012, it independently developed 18 meters Flat&bending tempering furnace, and then completed many large glass curtain wall projects such as Hong Kong Taikoo, Apple Headquarters, Taikang Financial Building, and continued to break its own record to develop and manufacture a 24-meter production line. Tianjin Northglass factory-oversized glass tempering Actually despite Northglass,there’re also many China glass processors keep introducing and developing oversized and over-width architectural glass products to fulfill the new and unique design concept. Cooperating with these advanced glass processors,Morn now is also able to manufacture and supply jumbo sized tempered,laminated ,and insulated glass products,with superior quality equivalent to Northglass but much better price.

With higher requirement on building energy consumption,more and more countries has set carbon neutral timeline to limit the emission of carbon and decrease the consumption of energy. Building,especially already existing buildings adopted large area windows,doors,and insulated glass facade ,the glass U value are always above 1.6W/M2.K,in this IGU times,it has been the leading level,but with the approaching of vaccum glass times, 75% lower U value is possible and existing buildings need replacement to further decrease the energy consumption. Our sister company: Shandong HaanGlas was established under this times. Vacuum glass is still unknown to architects and designers,in the past decades vacuum glass applied in some glass facades ,but for technical reason,the U value and stability didn’t leave good impression in the glass industry. Now with developed and updated processing technology,vacuum glass performance has reached 0.47W/M2.K ,up to 15 years warranty time, larger available panels,and more even compress ,all these feature enable large scale promotion possible. HaanGlas has concluded strategic alliance relationship with American companies to promote vacuum glass in North America since 2022 and we believe that vacuum glass will be priority for new projects in next 10 years. Morn glass will focus on traditional architectural glass to support global projects internationally. #### Hard coated low e VS Soft coated low e Hard coated low e VS Soft coated low e Low-E glass, short for Low Emissivity Glass,It is a coating on glass surface. This glass not only has high visible light transmittance, but also has a strong ability to block infrared rays. It can play the dual functions of natural lighting and heat insulation. Low-E glass is divided into offline Low-E glass(soft coated low e) and online Low-E glass(hard coated low e) according to the manufacturing process. On-line Low-E glass is a functional film with low radiation performance on the surface of the glass ribbon on the float line by chemical vapor deposition and special materials on the float glass production line. In China, only AGC and SYP provide limited hard coated low e options: Planible G, Sunergy, SY-48,Energy Advantage, the glass performance is shown in the table below.

Download this article here:Hard-coated-low-e-VS-Soft-coated-low-e #### Hard Coated Low-E options in China Hard coated low-E coating,also named as online low-E,or pyrolytic coated low-E.Different from soft coated low-E coatings,hard coated low-E is produced when manufacturing the float glass. The biggest advantage of hard coated low-E, is it’s hard and no chemical reaction when exposed in the air.So ,soft coated low-E coatings must be made into insulated glass,while hard coated low-E coatings can be used in single glazing, for example,tempered,heat strengthened, and laminated glass. The emissivity is about 0.15,which is much higher than soft coated low-E coatings,so glass made with hard coated low-E has higher U value,but this has been the best solution to increase the single glazed units thermal insulation performance. Hard Coated Low-E options in China The main manufacturers of hard coated low-E in China are AGC, SYP, Jinjing.Here we introduce the main hard coated low-E coating options in China: High light transmittance hard coated low-E coating. The low-E coating has light transmittance over 80%,when placing a hard coated coating and clear float glass together,it’s hard to identify them.The typical coatings are AGC-Planibel G, SYP -Energy advantage, Jinjing. Below is the typical performance data for three different coatings,the only difference, Planibel G from AGC is slightly yellow color,it’s not related to the coating,but the float glass color is yellow color.

There’re several kinds of single piece fireproof glass, including cesium potassium fireproof glass, high compression stress glass, and high borosilicate fireproof glass,with the higher fireproof requirement,some fireproof glass has lost its advantage and the customers trust. Single piece cesium potassium fireproof glass,factories will spray the fireproof liquids on glass surface and through physical tempering process,the cesium potassium fireproof glass performance can reach 60mins.But as the factories’ processing capability and technology are different,most cesium potassium fireproof glass cannot perform its fireproof performance. High compression stress fireproof glass,it’s same as normal tempered glass but during tempering process,factories will adjust the tempering parameter and make the glass with high compression stress.The disadvantage of this kind glass ,is glass cannot be made very big,and it’s not stable. High borosilicate fireproof glass is the newest and most stable fireproof glass,it’s decided by the borosilicate glass characters. High borosilicate fire-resistant glass contains high borosilicate, boron accounts for 12.5-13.5%, and silicon content is 78-80%. This results in high borosilicate fire-resistant glass with super acid and alkali resistance, and can adapt to a temperature difference of 520℃. It can be kept at 750℃ for a long time without any change, and the softening point can reach above 850℃. High borosilicate monolithic fire-resistant glass also has a high softening point, excellent thermal shock resistance and viscosity.fire resistance time of up to 3 hours.   The advantage of high borosilicate fire-resistant glass are: ☑ Excellent fire resistance The ultra-high softening point provides a fundamental guarantee for the fire performance stably, and the fire resistance time exceeds 120 minutes. With ultra-high transparency, while maintaining the transparency and beauty of the building, it can still ensure people’s vision in the event of a fire to facilitate escape and rescue. ☑ High-strength and ultra-light performance The weight is more than 8% lighter than ordinary glass, and at the same time it has ultra-high mechanical strength. The extremely strong and light characteristics significantly reduce the weight of the building. ☑ Excellent optical performance Low iron, environmentally friendly formula, high light transmittance, visible light transmittance 92%, excellent optical quality provides distortion-free visual effects. ☑ Super high chemical stability Acid resistance, alkali resistance, UV resistance, and good fire resistance. ☑ No risk of self-destruction Self-explosion is currently a major hidden danger that is extremely difficult to overcome for building safety glass. Because the raw materials and systems of high borosilicate fire-resistant glass do not contain nickel, there is no nickel sulfide crystal in all glass products, which eliminates the hidden danger of self-explosion. ☑ Processability The high borosilicate glass can be processed by cutting, edging, perforating, and coating before tempering. High borosilicate glass can be combined with other glass to be made into a building energy-saving fire-proof material with better comprehensive performance through the processes of laminating, hollowing, and vacuum. ☑ Double security Fully toughened monolithic high borosilicate fireproof glass, meeting the requirements of fireproof and safety performance. High borosilicate monolithic fire-resistant glass also has a high softening point, excellent thermal shock resistance and viscosity.fire resistance time of up to 3 hours.   High broosilicate fireproof glass now has widely been used in public buildings,industrial and residential buildings,commercial buildings and other areas that require high fireproof performance.

Glass coating:Lower and lower emissivity coated glass from single silver,double silver to now triple silver. Spacer materials:From traditional aluminium spacer,stainless spacer,warm edge spacer,composite warm edge spacer to TPS. Glass make up:From monolithic glass to insulated glass,triple glass units,and then vaccum glass. More and more new creative products were developed,for example heat mirror insulated glass,aerogel glass, smart glass etc. But high performance glass account less than 10% of new buildings,and existing buildings over 50 billion square meters adopt traditional normal glass or laminated glass,which caused high energy waste.High performance glass need further promotion and application on new constructed buildings. Energy saving glass in passive houses What’s High Performance Glass? High-performance energy-saving glass refers to architectural glass products that made with coating, insulating, and vacuum technology and have significant thermal insulation effects. High Performance Glass Classifications. The glass are mainly used in passive houses,mainly classified into below:Insulated glass,vacuum glass,vacuum insulated glass,heat mirror insulated glass. Key Performance Indicators of Glass: Heat Transfer Coefficient (U-value): Measures the thermal insulation performance of the glass; a lower value is better. Passive houses require a U-value < 0.80 W/m²·K. Visible Light Transmittance (T/VLT): Ensures sufficient natural light; a higher value is required, T > 55%. Total Solar Transmittance (g-value): A lower total transmittance is better, controlling the amount of solar heat entering the room. Passive houses typically require g > 0.35 (to maximize daylighting in winter), but this should be optimized based on regional climate. Infrared Thermal Transmittance (gIR): Controls infrared heat; gIR < 0.15. Main Technical Features: Multi-layer hollow structure: Typically uses three layers of glass (double-glazed), or even more layers. Low-E coating: A very thin metal oxide film is coated on the glass surface to reflect infrared thermal radiation, achieving insulation or shading purposes. Inert gas filling: The hollow layer is filled with inert gas (such as argon) to reduce air conduction and improve thermal insulation performance. Thermal insulation spacers: Warm edge spacers (such as stainless steel or plastic composite materials) are used around the hollow glass to reduce the cold bridge effect. High Performance Glass thermal property Below table shows the insulated glass U value,light property and other thermal insulation performance.

For double glazed unitswith 12mm spacer, the influence argon is better than using warm edge. For the triple glazed units, whether it is 12mm or 15mm spacer,warm edge spacer has much better thermal insulation performance than argon filled glass units. Especially for the 15mm,the reduction of U value is almost twice that of argon filled units. After using the warm edge, thethermal insulation performance of whole window is more balanced, and there is no obvious weak parts in the window. While using argon filling ,the balance of thermal insulation performance of each part of the window has been further broken. High Performance Glass surface temperature and Anti-condensation performance High-performance glass plays a critical role in improving indoor comfort by maintaining higher interior surface temperatures and effectively reducing condensation risk—two issues closely linked to energy efficiency and building durability. In cold or mixed climates, traditional glass allows indoor heat to escape rapidly, causing the interior glass surface to become cold. When warm, humid indoor air comes into contact with this cold surface, condensation forms. This not only affects visibility and comfort but can also lead to mold growth, damage to window frames, and long-term maintenance problems. High-performance glass addresses this challenge through advanced technologies such as low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, inert gas filling (argon or krypton), warm-edge spacers, and multi-layer insulated glass units. Low-E coatings reflect long-wave infrared heat back into the room, significantly reducing heat loss. As a result, the interior surface temperature of the glass remains much closer to the room temperature, even in cold outdoor conditions. A higher interior glass temperature directly improves thermal comfort. Occupants feel less cold radiation near windows, allowing buildings to maintain comfort at lower heating setpoints and reducing overall energy consumption. At the same time, because the glass surface stays warmer, it is far less likely to drop below the dew point of indoor air—effectively minimizing or eliminating condensation. Beyond comfort, condensation control has practical benefits: clearer views, longer service life of windows, and better indoor air quality. For residential homes, commercial buildings, and high-performance façades, investing in high-performance glass is not just an energy upgrade—it is a comprehensive solution for comfort, durability, and healthy indoor environments. High Performance Glass Acoustic Performance High-performance glass plays an increasingly important role in improving acoustic comfort inside buildings, especially in today’s dense urban environments where noise pollution is a daily challenge. Traffic, construction, airports, railways, and even nearby commercial activities can significantly affect occupant well-being, productivity, and sleep quality if not properly controlled. The acoustic performance of glass depends on its ability to reduce sound transmission from the exterior to the interior. High-performance acoustic glass achieves this through a combination of thickness variation, laminated structures, and optimized insulating glass configurations. Laminated glass, in particular, is highly effective because it incorporates a special acoustic interlayer between two sheets of glass. This interlayer dampens sound vibrations, converting sound energy into low-level heat and significantly reducing noise penetration. Another key factor is asymmetric glass design. By using glass panes of different thicknesses within an insulating glass unit (IGU), high-performance glass disrupts sound wave resonance, which is especially effective against mid- and low-frequency noise such as traffic and aircraft sounds. When combined with gas-filled cavities and high-quality edge seals, these systems can achieve excellent sound reduction values (Rw or STC), often improving acoustic insulation by 5–10 dB or more compared to standard double glazing. Improved acoustic performance directly enhances indoor comfort. Quieter interiors support better concentration in offices, improved learning environments in schools, and higher quality rest in residential buildings and hotels. At the same time, high-performance acoustic glass can be combined with thermal insulation, solar control, and safety features, delivering multiple benefits in a single façade solution. Ultimately, high-performance glass is not just a transparent building material—it is a critical component in creating calm, comfortable, and high-quality indoor spaces in noisy modern cities. passive house insulated glass windows Working with over 50 China glass processing factories,Morn now is able to manufacture and supply all kinds of high performance energy saving glass,including double and triple silver low-E coatings,warm edge space,triple glass units,etc.We sincerely hope the rapid development of ultra-low-energy buildings worldwide, so that  people can live in good houses that are both energy-efficient and comfortable, and enjoy the comfortable experience brought by high-performance glass.

Increase acoustic performance. Increase glass wind resistance and glass strength. prolong the service life of the molecular sieve in the aluminum spacer frame Customers can get positive feedback with just USD1.5/sqm costs.I BS EN1279-Insulating glass standard require the argon content should be at least 90% and no leakage,while some glass manufacturers don’t have the right operation rules in filling process,and lack of necessary tools to measure and test the argon content,which cause the double glass units made in China had poor quality,argon content is far from required ,causing overall building energy costs increase. Why the argon content so important? How the argon content affect the glass performance?Here we calculate the glass performance with Window,Therm to check how it works.

CONCLUSION: The argon concentration has a great influence on the heat transfer coefficient of insulating glass, especially for Low-E insulating glass. For Low-E insulating glass with different spacing thicknesses, the central heat transfer coefficient is improved by an average of about 0.3 W/(m²·K) Table 3: 5LE+N+5 lowE insulated glass, U value with different spacer thickness. When the glass thickness and argon gas concentration remain unchanged, with increased spacer thickness, the heat transfer coefficient shows a trend of “decrease first and then increase”. The ideal thickness is approximately 12 mm. After reaching 12mm, the convection of enclosed air or argon increases, increasing the convective heat transfer, resulting in the heat transfer coefficient of the insulating glass decreasing first and then increase. But if applied in aluminium windows,we can get below conclusion: When the argon concentration drops by 10%, the U value (Ug1) in the center of the insulating glass will increase by about 0.03 W/(m²·K), and the heat transfer coefficient (Uw) of the entire window will increase by about 0.02W/(m²·K).

Many clients have a concept of general price of normal glass,such as 6-12-6 insulated glass,13.52 laminated glass,while in many cases,same glass combination has quite different price,there’re many reasons causing this situation,such as order quantity,glass size,glass shape,holes&notches on glass,processing difficulty,let’s analysis how glass size affect the glass price. 1.Glass size too big. Glass factories quotation is usually based on sizes below 2440*3660mm,if glass size too big,especially for some over sized glass,point supported glass is usually over 4000mm,in that case,processors has to bespoke raw materials from float glass manufacturers. The longer the glass,the higher price it is. Apple-store-glass-supply-morn-bm 2.Glass size too small. If glass panels size below 0.5sqm,factories will charge it as 0.5sqm.Why? Let’s take insulated glass as example,the silicon sealant consumption is calculated by the glass perimeter,not the glass size. If glass size is 1000*1000mm,and another piece 330*3000mm,the later one silicon consumtion is 60% higher than former one,which will cause price higher. insulated-glass-panel-morn-bm And tempered glass,5 pcs 500*500mm glass has same area as 1 pcs 1250*1000mm,while the labor costs is almost 3 times that of later one. 3.Glass size irregular: Every facade project has it unique shape and design,which will cause many different glass size.while standard glass panel size is 2140/2400*3300/3660mm.Cutting ratio is over 85%,while for some special glass panels,such as 1400*1400, if using normal standard glass panels,the cutting ratio is only 55%,it’s 30% price difference. 4.Glass size types.  If one project contain 100 glass sizes ,this will bring much extra labors during processing,including handling,cutting,etc.if only 10 sizes ,this will save much costs and decrease price also. In this case processors has to bespoke special size float glass to increase the glass cutting ratio and avoid wastage.While if quantity is very small,there’s no method but to accept the high price. Many factors affect glass price,so please consider standard sizes such as 1200*1200/2400/3600 etc to decrease the glass processing difficulty and guarantee the delivery time.

Laminated glass is widely used in glass facade,blustrade,glass fencing,canopy,glass skylight ,etc.As safety glass,laminated glass is made with 2 lites single piece glass and interlayer(PVB or SGP interlayer). The interlayer can bond 2 piece glass together and keeps glass integrity once broken,it offers high security and avoid hurts. Laminated glass is usually produced with glass laminating line,then how the glass and PVB interlayer bonded together? Laminating line consist of glass loading table,glass transmission conveyor,washing and drying machine,glass positioning machine,waliking suction hanger,PVB storage shelf,pre-pressing machine,unloading table,infrared heating autoclave. Glass is loaded onto the tansmission conveyor through automatic loading table ,after washing and cleaning process,the glass and interlayer was placed orderly,and with pre-pressing process,the PVB and glass is bonded temporary,then glass is removed to the autoclave keeping for around 8 hours to make the PVB and interlayer bonded permanently. Here is a detailed video showing how laminated glass is made,the video is from China famous laminating line manufacturer-Lewei.Thanks for their detailed introduction and innovation that makes laminating glass a easy work.

Download this article here:How-laminated-glass-is-made #### how much glass a container can load how much glass a container can load Many customers are confused how much glass a container can load ,as the forwarder fees,including the trailer fees is about USD750,The more glass are loaded,the less unit price.Shipping fees varies from USD150-USD4000 depending on different destinations.Even for same destination port,shipping fees for 20’GP,20’OT,40’GP,40HQ,40’OT price are totally different,some times it’s 2-3 times difference.So Maximize the glass quantity to be loaded into one container and decrease the unit logistic fees is really important. Note:Here we only discuss the loaded quantity for sea shipping,LCL(less than container load) and air delivery is excluded. Reaons that affect glass quantity loaded in a container. The packing method: The spacer between glass.Generally there’re 3 materials between glass panels when packaging: a.1 :Glass powder:This is generally used for float glass,low-E glass standard panels.As glass is produced with float process,the glass surface is quite smooth and flat.The powder between glass will ensure the glass safety and avoid scratches,meanwhile,it brings convenience to clients when cutting the glass. a.2: Paper: Anti mildew paper is used ,for thin tempered glass,such as 3mm,4mm tempered glass,or other tempered glass,laminated glass which has same size.As glass size are same,there won’t be scratches or contact ,the uniform bending directions also enable us to use papers between glass. a.3:Cord pad:It’s widely used in engineering glass,such as tempered laminated glass,insulated glass.Different size and thickness glass also require different cord pad,for extremely large glass panels,4mm and even 5mm cord pad are used,while other standard size glass panels ,2.5mm is enough. Select the right container: There’re generally 5 different container types:20’GP, 20’OT,40’GP,40’OT.40’HQ.But whatever any container,the Max load is about 27.5-28.5MT, clients shall also consider the weight limit for the ports and following inland trailer weight limit,Port weight limit is usually 18MT, 20MT,22MT,and inland trailer weight limit are usually 20MT. For float glass and low-E glass standard panels, 20’GP and 20’OT is enough,as glass density is very high.For standard 2140*3300/3660,1830*2140/2440mm, 20’gp is used,below pics shows typical standard size glass panel loading. Maximize the glass quantity to be loaded into one container and decrease the unit logistic fees is really important.    When glass height over 2140mm, such as 2440*3300/3660MM,20’OT is required.In this case,the glass height will be 2550mm and is about 30mm higher than container height,customer should balance the costs for 20’OT as open top container shipping fees is around 1.5-2 times that of normal container.Is it really necessary to load with open top container shall be considered carefully. For processed glass,normal tempered glass,laminated safety glass, 20’GP and 40’GP is used.For most project glass,the glass sizes are not uniform,so how to maximum using the limited container space is really important.Some customers may have difficulty unload the glass,glass cannot be stacked to take most advantage of container space,then 40’GP is used. For insulated glass,as insulated glass dimension is bigger for the air spacer reason between insulated glass,the 20’GP cannot load much insulated glass,so 40’GP and 40’HQ container are used specially for insulated glass. TEMPERED GLASS-CONTAINER LOADING   Confirm the best glass width. Firstly the inner size of containers: 20’GP container: 5850 length*2300width*2250 height 20’OT container: 5850 length*2300width*2350 height 40’GP container: 11900 length*2300width*2250 height 20’OT container: 11900 length*2300width*2350 height Whether it’s 20 or 40 foot container,the container width are fixed,2300mm,to facilitate the loading and unloading process,loaded glass total width shall be around 2000-2250mm. To take the most advantage of the container space,the most important is to calculate the glass crate width.Here we list the crate size confirmation： Standard glass panels: Crate length =glass length +100mm Crate width= glass thickness+inter-mediate thickness)* panel qty +100mm Crate height=glass height +100mm   Cut to size glass panels: Crate length =glass length +200mm Crate width= glass thickness+inter-mediate thickness)* panel qty +100mm Crate height=glass height +200mm The most standard crate width used for cut to size glass are 700-750mm,if we confirm the best glass panels for each crate,such as 21.52mm tempered laminated glass,the panel qty for each crate is 750mm-100mm /(21.52+2.5mm)=27 pieces. If crate size was made as 750mm,the 3 crates can be loaded in the width direction.Of course the crate weight shall be limited within 2000MT,the best crate weight is 1200-1800kgs.For large glass panels,the glass panel quantity for each crate shall be  decided by the crate weight,not glass width. Here is a list the most standard glass quantity that can be loaded into one container,as glass order varies,please contact your glass supplier to check how many glass can be loaded and container type.

In most projects,glass is installed vertically.With high performance silver low-E coating,the insulated glass on the vertical facade will decrease the solar energy transmitted the glass,and save air conditioner heating and cooling fees. While many architects have designed many unique facades,the facade is not 90° vertically,but with some slopes,and glass is also used in skylight to get more light transmittance.But will the insulated glass thermal insulation performance change in this situation? Here is the result we calculated with Berkery LBNL window 7.5,based on solarban 60. Solarban-60-performance-data-MORN-BM As we can see,the glass tile angle from 90° to 0°，there’s almost no performance difference despite the U value in Winter,it increase from 1.67 to 2.47W/M2.K. So we can see ,in winter ,especially cold areas,the insulated glass angles will allow more heating going out the glass and increase the interior heating costs.While the tilted glass,especially the skylight glass will allow more solar energy energy transmitted therough the glass,so designers should consider and balance this issue when designing . How about the laminated glass?Let’s take 6+1.52+6 clear tempered laminated glass as example： with the glass installation angle decrease from 90° to 0°，different from insulated glass,laminated glass U value decrease both in winter and summer.Other performance data,light transmittance,reflective,solar transmittance,SC and SHGC all change very little. As we can see,the glass installation angle affect glass U value much,so don’t forget calculating the glass U value when glass is not installed vertically.

One of the features of glass is sound proof,whether it’s single glazing, laminated glass,insulated glass or even laminated insulated,the glass can reduce the sounds transfered from outdoor to indoor. The order of sound insulation performance from poor to excellent is: monolithic glass < laminated glass <double insulated glass < triple insulating glass< laminated insulated glass. Glass accoustic performance-morn Here we introduce a simple formula to calculate the glass STC-sound transmission class. 1.Monolithic glass Formula: R=13.5lgM+13 R:Monolithic glass STC M:Glass density Example:6mm clear tempered glass STC=13.5*lg(6*2.5)+13=28.87dB 2.Laminated glass Formula: R+13.5lg(M1+M2)+13+R1 R:laminated glass STC M1,M2:Glass panel density R1:Additional STC caused by the glass configuration For laminated glass,the R1 will be calculated as below: 0.38mm PVB-4dB 0.76mm PVB-5.5dB 1.14mm PVB-6dB 1.52mm PVB-7dB Example: 21.52mm tempered laminated glass STC=13.5*lg(10*2.5+10*2.5)+13+7=42.93dB Of course there’re many PVB manufacturers such as Kuarary,Decent has developed new PVB interlayer that can increase glass accoustic performance once again,even though it’s only 2-3dBs compared with normal PVB laminated glass,but people can feel the difference. 3.Insulated glass/double glazed units Formula: R+13.5lg(M1+M2)+13+R1 R:Insulated glass STC M1,M2:Glass panel density R1:Addition STC caused by the glass configuration For insulated glass,the R1 will be 0.1* air thickness Example: 6+12A+6 insulated glass STC=13.5*lg(6*2.5+6*2.5)+13+12*0.1=34.14dB 4.Laminated insulated glass Formula: R+13.5lg(M1+M2+M3)+13+R1+R2 R1 is addition STC calculated based on PVB and R2 is addition STC caused by the air. Example: 6+1.14PVB+16A+6 STC=13.5*lg(6*2.5+6*2.5+6*2.5)+13+6+0.1*16=42.91dB Based on above formula,we can easily find the factors that affect glass accoustic performance:glass thickness,PVB thickness and glass types.

In most cases,glass processors buy standard glass panels and then cut,edging works,tempering,laminating,insulating process etc. float-glass-production-morn   If your projects require 10mm 1500*1500mm tempered glass,there’ll be no suitable standard float glass sheets that can achieve high cutting ratio,you may have to cut from 2140*3050mm,in this case ,glass waste reach 30%,the costs can be USD2.5/SQM higher than 2100*1500mm. So glass waste ratio is a very important costs of the glass total costs. Float-glass-stocks-morn   Then how to confirm the best glass sizes during your design to Maximum decrease the waste ratio and get better price? 1.Standard float glass sizes available in Chi na: 2140*3300mm,2440*3300mm,2140*3660mm,2140*3660mm. So,glass panels shall be near to above sizes of slightly less than 1/2 ,1/4 of the glass length or width. Recommended glass sizes are: For 2140*3300mm: 2100*1600/3250mm,1050*1600/3250mm. For 2440*3300mm: 2400*1600/3250mm,1150*1600/3250mm. For 2140*3660mm: 1050*1800/3600mm,2100*1800/3600mm. For 2440*3660mm: 1200*1800/3600mm,2400*1800/2600mm. 2.Glass Area Float-glass-production–China-morn   If finished glass sizes or area is very small,such as 400mm*600mm,compared with 2400*3600mm,the former glass size is only 1/36 of the later one,but have exactly same process,the process costs are the same,so the production efficiency of smaller glass is much lower than big size one.Please avoid designing smaller ones as the price can be higher. 3.For Laminated glass: As PVB and SGP interlayer are packed in rolls or similar as glass panels,so we shall also pay attention to the size during design. PVB laminated glass:PVB interlayer width is 2140/2440mm,no length limits,so this won’t affect much. SGP laminated glass:There’s limited width options and don’t support bespoke,so we need to design the glass the Maximum close to the standard SGP width. Click here to check the SGP interlayer specification. 4.For insulated glass: The sealants and aluminium spacer consumption of each piece glass is based on its perimeter. So 2 pieces glass with same area price can be also different: 1000*1000mm, glass area 1sqm,perimeter: 4000mm. 2500*400mm,glass area 1sqm,perimeter :5800mm. In this case,the 2500*400mm glass use almost 30% more sealants and aluminium spacer,this is also a huge cost difference. Extend:Factors affect insulated glass price from China 5.For special glass: Some projects require over sized glass over 4000mm length,in this case,processors will bespoke glass panels from manufacturers,but the quantity shall be at least 50-60MT,or the order can be refused.

For superior Hotel & Home bathroom decoration, LED bathroom mirrors will definitely add to its impression on people.With the demands of fashion decoration in the bathroom as well as multiple functions of smart homes, the requirement for a quality LED bathroom mirror is getting higher and higher compared with the normal mirrors.With internet grows rapidly, you can easily find lots of manufacturers and suppliers of LED bathroom mirrors from China.But how can we tell he is a quality supplier? By the low price? Absolutely not.The prices range from 20 to 100 US dollars, obviously the qualities are different. But we do not want to pay 100 dollars for the same quality! That is easy, reading this article and you will have an idea how to find a good LED lighted bathroom mirror supplier. turnkey mirror supplier in China Material used in LED smart mirror Usually when you inquire your suppliers about the LED mirror, You will get a first quotation with the specifications, which include the mirror glass, frame material, LED lights, LED driver,Additional features like defogger , touch sensor and etc.. These information tell the quality level: Mirror: The most difference in the mirror quality lies in: If this is a copper free mirror. Because normal silver mirror will get easily corrosion stains. But copper free mirror last long time. Frame: The frame is a back frame that fixed with the LED strip or as a mount frame. A recommended frame is made of aluminum, which is light and sturdy. Also steel can be good frame too. LED lights: LED lights is a big topic. The easiest way to tell a good LED is the model of LED chips. Here’s the brightness from bright to dark:5630smd(60D)=2835smd(120D)＞5050smd(60D)>3528smd(120D)>3528smd(60D). One easy way is to find out the power per meter. The larger power, the brighter it puts out: 5630smd(18w)=2835smd(18w)＞5050smd(14w)>3528smd(10w)>3528smd(5w). LED driver: LED driver is the key part of a LED mirror. Besides testing a driver by an electric engineer, we can judge it by easy ways: A good driver owns more certificates: UL/ETL/CSA for USA and Canada, CE/RoHS for European countries, TUV GS for Germany,SAA/C-Tick for Australia and New Zealand, KC for Korea, BIS for india, PSE for Japan, SASO for Saudi Arabia,IP44/IP67 for waterproof use and etc. One thing that cannot be wrong: the more tests it has passed, the safer it is. Defogger: It is an heated anti fog pad that stick to the back of the mirror. The PET material defogger is better in quality. And same as the driver, a certificated defogger has good quality. When you read these, you will have a genneral idea to tell if this is a good LED bathroom mirror. But that is far from enough to get a reliable supplier with good quality and competitive price! Usually you will need to seek for some candidates, inquire and compare the prices and specifications and negotitae with them the terms.

How to improve the glass curtain wall flatness? The glass curtain wall is a beautiful and novel method of building wall decoration, which is a prominent feature of the modern high-rise building era. Glass walls are a common sight in modern cities. After the installation of the glass in the hidden frame glass curtain wall,the glass surface tends to be distorted. Despite the heat treated glass flatness,construction errors is another main reason for this problem. glass-curtain-wall-glass-distortion-morn-bm I. Factors affecting construction errors 1. Since the hidden frame glass curtain wall is bonded to the aluminum alloy frame (sub-frame) through the silicone structural sealant, and then fastened to the aluminum alloy frame by the fixed clamp and the stainless steel bolt, due to the fixed clamp and the aluminum alloy sub-frame is a point connection. At the contact point, due to the different degree of tightness of the fastening bolts, the force transmitted to the glass through the structural adhesive is different, and the scene reflected by the glass surface will be distorted; at the same time, the spacing of the fixed clamps is not different, this phenomenon will also occur. 2. Due to the construction error, the beams,column distance are different . After the glass is installed, the adjacent two pieces are not in a plane, and distortion will occur. 3. In the process of filling structural adhesive and maintenance process, due to improper method, the structural adhesive is pressed before curing, resulting in different thickness of structural adhesive, and the surface of the glass will be uneven after installation. glass-curtain-wall-visual-distortion-morn-bm II.Measures to reduce glass distortion 1. Use a suitable connection method to make the surface of the glass evenly stressed. For example, the aluminum alloy frame can be suspended on the aluminum alloy frame, and the glass naturally hangs down and the force is even. 2. Reasonable design of the fixed clamp spacing. According to experience, the distance between the first clamp and the glass edge is between 100 and 150 mm, and the spacing between the intermediate clamps is preferably between 250 and 300 mm. 3, in the structural adhesive and curing stage, to avoid the structural adhesive pressure, can be separated between the glass components by the mat, the height of the mat should be higher than the sum of the thickness of each structural adhesive of the aluminum frame.

Tempered glass is widely visible in everyday life. There are more and more glass processing enterprises producing tempered glass. How to effectively improve the yield of tempered glass is a problem that all glass deep processing enterprises have always been concerned about. Quality-tempered-glass-supplier-morn           To improve the yield of tempered glass, the following must be done: First, the glass must be edging before tempering. The quality of glass edging plays a decisive role in the rate of tempering. When the glass is cut, small, very fine cracks are left on the edges, which are almost invisible to the naked eye. There are two functions of edging, one is aesthetic, and the other is to not break easily during tempering and improve the yield of tempered glass. Second, adjust the process parameters of tempering. The tempering process parameters are mainly the heating temperature, the heating time, the wind pressure time of the tempering cooling and the tempering cooling time. The temperature of the tempering is inversely proportional to the heating time, and the higher the temperature, the shorter the heating time. However, when we temper the thick glass of 12mm or more, if the furnace temperature is too high, it is easy to fry the furnace inside the furnace. Of course, there are many reasons for the fryer, and the furnace temperature setting is too high. It is recommended that the glass of 12 mm or more be set to a temperature of about 665 ° during tempering, and the heating time should be appropriately extended. A reasonable heating time needs to be selected after the temperature is determined. In general, the heating time per millimeter is about 40 seconds. However, it is necessary to increase the heating time by 10% when tempering the glass of the large layout, and increase the heating time by 10% when tempering the perforated and angled glass. Dialectical mastery of heating time and heating temperature is very important, and is also the key to improving the yield of tempered glass. Glass-tempering-process-morn   Third, the importance of uniform heating of the glass. The glass is actually a cube with 4 sides and 6 sides. The heating of the upper and lower sides of the glass is relatively slow. When tempering large-format glass, the middle of the glass tends to be the slowest in heat, and sometimes the tempered glass forms a pot shape (especially a large-format glass close to a square). It is caused by the excessive heating of the edge and the slow heating in the middle, that is, after the heating is completed, the temperature of the edge of the glass is much higher than the temperature in the middle of the glass. If the glass of the large layout is heated evenly, it is better to set the temperature of the furnace to a heating curve (lateral) where the temperature is higher than the set temperature by 10 degrees and the edge temperature is lower than the set temperature by 10 degrees. The tempered glass thus has a uniform degree of uniformity and uniformity. Glaston-tempering-furnace-morn   Fourth, the hole, the angle of the glass. Generally speaking, if tempered glass needs to be punched, you need to pay attention to the following points: The holes diameter should be greater than or equal to the thickness of the glass; The distance between the edge of the hole and the edge of the glass is greater than or equal to twice the thickness of the glass; The distance between the two holes, the distance between the edge of the hole and the edge of the hole is greater than or equal to twice the thickness of the glass. If you can’t reach this requirement and you have to punch holes, you can solve it by slotting. Without affecting the use and aesthetics, use a cutter to cut a small gap between the glass edge and the hole at the edge of the glass. This is the best solution to solve some of the problems that do not meet the punching requirements and must be punched. For Special glass,please follow our tempering instruction.

Good sound transmission loss will decrease the noise significantly and create silent and quite environment.In auto ,many high end brands use laminated glass instead of single piece tempered glass to increase the sound transmission loss.As part of the building, whether the concrete wall,floors etc ,they’re thick and have good sound transmission loss.As the thinnest part of the building ,glass is usually only several milimeter thick,some insulated glass are 24mm thick,glass has been the weakest point of the building noise conductivity materials,here we introduce the factors that affect glass STC and measures to increase glass STC. soundproof glass barrier   Factors that affect glass STC Glass thickness.Increasing glass thickness is the most important measurement. 3mm thick monolithic glass, glass STC is only 30Dbs,when glass thickness was increased to 12mm thick,glass STC can reach 36Dbs,whether it’s single piece monolithic glass,laminated glass,or insulated glass,the thicker total glass thickness,the better sound transmission loss. PVB or other interlayer used in laminated glass. PVB or SGP,EVA, these materials are soft materials ,it can decrease the vibration and work as good barrier for sound transmission.Meanwhile,the thicker PVB interlayer,the better sound transmission loss cause by the interlayer. Air space thickness.Thicker air space for insulated glass will increase sound transmission loss.For example, 3-10A-3 insulated glass STC is 3Dbs higher than 3-6A-3mm glass. When the spacer becomes thicker,STC will be better. Here is a simple chart showing the typical glass STC value: Glass combination Glass type Glass thickness STC(Dbs) 6mm glass Monolithic 6mm 31 Dbs 6+1.52PVB+6 Laminated 13.52MM 39 Dbs 6+12A+6 Insulated 24MM 35 Dbs 6+12A+6+12A+6 Triple insulated 42MM 39 Dbs 6+12A+6+1.52+6 Laminated Insulated 31.52MM 43Dbs The conclusion shows thicker and better glass combination will increase glass STC ,of course this will bring the increased costs in glass. In most cases,40 Dbs has been very excellent in architectural application.So most laminated insulated glass ,and laminated glass are satisfy most project requirement. Here we also offer several related resources to check the glass STC for clients before designing the project. Related glass STC resources: 1.Viracon:The performance data below applies to an insulating unit constructed with two plies of glass and an air or argon filled space. Data is based on testing  ~ 36″ x 84″ glass to ASTM E413-87 in an acoustical wall. *OITC is estimated based on this test. Glass size and glazing system will afect STC rating.

Capillary tube is used in insulated glass to balance the air pressure inside and outside of insulted glass to avoid glass contract or expand after installation. Sometimes insulated glass production area altitude is quite different from the areas to be installed.If produced in seaside while the installation area latitude is over 1000M high,or produced in high altitude areas while used in seaside.For area pressure reason, glass will expand or shrink after installation,then the capillary is recommended to help keeping glass absolute flat and avoid visual distortion. insulated glass expand Capillary tube is small stainless steel tube with only 1mm diameter,it’s installed on insulated glass edge(from aluminium spacer bar) and certain parts(around 50mm) is exposed outside to keep air flow inside and outside glass. Maybe some clients have received capillary tubes like below pictures,but we have to say this capillary tube is wrong,it was installed after sealant,which will affect the glass sealing effect. insulated-glass-with-capillary-tubes-for-high-altitude-area-morn-bM   Here is the instructions to produce insulated glass with capillary tube: A capillary tube is designed to allow air to enter or scape an IGU chamber to avoid any damage to the unit due to atmospheric pressure differences. The tube should only allow enough air to move in and out without constituting a continuous communication, that’s why it’s important to make sure we are always creating a “gooseneck” .  The tube should be placed on one of the sides of the unit, not on the top or the bottom spacer.  Almast always the units will be transported on its side to fit in the container. It’s important to make sure that the gooseneck with the 50 mm difference is preserved. To ensure that please tape the tip of the tube to the front of the glass in a downward position.  CAPILLARY TUBE -INSULATED GLASS CAPILLARY TUBE ON GLASS 2 Here are some insulated glass we have finished with capillary tube,or breath tube.

One-way mirror is a special glass that has a very high reflectance to visible light.the reflecting surface must be the illuminating surface or the outdoor side. When the outdoor is brighter than the indoor, the one-way mirror is similar to normal mirror, and the indoor scene cannot be seen outdoors, but the outdoor scene can be clearly seen indoors. When the outdoor is darker than the indoors, the indoor scenery can be seen outdoors, and the outdoor scenery can be seen indoors, and the definition depends on the intensity of the outdoor illumination. One way mirror is mainly used for concealed observation windows, holes,and Widely used in public security bureaus, detention centers, prisons, courts, karaoke, offices, school viewing classrooms, mental hospitals, nuclear power plants, military security departments and other places. One-way-mirror–morn   To properly install a one-way mioor, the following five steps must be followed: 1. The one-way mirror is divided into two sides, the front side is a glass mirror (mercury surface), and the mirror should face the monitored room (for example, the space where the suspect is located). 2. The illumination ratio of the monitoring room and the monitored room is recommended to be controlled at 1:10. The stronger the light in the monitored room, the more obvious the one-way perspective effect of the glass. If there is a window in the monitoring room, it should be covered with curtains when using it, that is, the monitoring room should be kept as transparent as possible. 3. The monitoring room is not allowed to have a light source in principle. If the monitoring room needs to be arranged with lights, the lights should be installed at the corners above the glass as much as possible to prevent the image of the indoor monitoring personnel from directly mapping to the glass surface. 4. In order to enhance the overall reflection effect of the glass mirror, it is recommended to uniformly install the spotlight above the mirror surface of the monitored room, and the 45° angle is directed to the middle of the glass mirror to enhance the overall reflectivity of the mirror and enhance the one-way perspective effect. 5. The actual distance between the monitored personnel and the one-way mirror should be ≥0.5-1 meters. How to install one way mirror   After the one way ,mirror is installed, be sure to protect the glass mirror. It is recommended to use a feather duster to remove the surface dust. It is not advisable to use a sharp, rough object to wipe the glass mirror. #### How to make the glass frosted glass? How to make the glass frosted glass?

Although birds have extraordinary vision, it is difficult to find the existence of glass. On the contrary, they see the reflection of the sky and plants on the glass, they will mistake it as a safe place, especially when they are frightened or threatened. At night, the decorative light near the glass can disorient migrating birds, causing them to collide with skyscrapers, office buildings, or other glass decorated with lights. Large glass and corner glass are the most susceptible to impact, but even small glass can cause fatal impact. Although sometimes a strong impact can kill a bird on the spot, usually, the bird appears to be knocked out and will gradually recover and fly away. However, these birds have sequelae of congestion or swelling of the brain, which usually leads to death. Birds that have been struck will also have weaker flying skills and ability to distinguish directions, making them easier to hunt by other animals (such as raptors or cats). How to prevent birds from hitting the glass? There are many ways to reduce or even prevent birds from hitting the glass. The best strategy is to use multiple methods at the same time, so that the bird can clearly see the glass and avoid it. Indoor solution Install curtains or blinds indoors so that the glass is as non-reflective as possible. If the angle is correct, these decorations will not affect the light in the room, nor will it affect the scenery you see outside the window, but it is very important for birds Please try to remove the plants in front of the window, so that the bird will not think that it is a refuge or a source of food. Plants should be placed where the bird cannot see from the outside Installthe patterned or frosted glass, which can reduce the reflective area. Hang thin curtains on the large glass to reduce reflections. Tighten the curtains, these curtains will not affect the visibility, but can effectively reduce the bird hit the glass. Outdoor solution You can add some decoration on the window to reduce the reflection. Such as posting raptor patterns or other decorations. Install a transparent film similar to one side of the car window, which can be seen from the inside to the outside, but opaque from the outside to the inside. Install a parasol or shade cloth outside the window, which can not only reduce reflection, but also save energy. Place a certain height of green plants outside the glass, and the bird will use it as a refuge, so that the bird will stop on these vegetation before trying to pass through the glass, even if the bird takes off again and hits the glass , Because the speed is not enough, it will not hurt. Anyway,bird-friendly glass is the final solution to solve this problem,please try to use bird friendly glass in your house or project.

Recently many of my friends said that the glass imported to Malaysia was mildewed after installation. glass-mildew-morn There’re many reasons that cause the glass mildew: 1.Non-fresh float glass used. 2.Incorrect stock environment for finished glass-Both in the factory and site. 3.Insufficient desiccant used both in wooden crates and in container. To better prevent the glass mildew,below are some suggestions: 1.Using fresh float glass that are produced within 3 months. If the float glass are long time stocks,use anti-mildew remover to wash and clean the glass. 2.Place container desiccant in the wooden crates,and in the container. During the ocean transportation of containers, the huge temperature difference between day and night on the sea makes the high temperature air locked in the container during the day meet a very low temperature at night to form a large temperature difference, which will form a “container rain” . It has a very adverse effect, and the excessive humidity of the package directly affects the appearance of the surface of the product. Therefore, the container desiccant was born, and the container desiccant can effectively prevent the occurrence of “container rain” and keep the container space dry. cONTAINER-DESICCANT-TO-PREVENT-GLASS-MILDEW Container-desiccant-morn   3.Once glass rainbow appears after installation,use mildew remover to clean the glass.

How can I ensure that the purchased glass are qualified and very goo quality? How can I ensure that the price is reasonable and within budget? Can they supply the glass in time? Will the supplier undertake responsibility once any problem happens? container ships-morn bm Many many questions and details should be confirmed before placing an order,it takes several months ,or even several years,business is very simple,it’s a long term process of building mutual trust,and mutual benefit. 1st,many facade purchasing managers first question when meeting a new supplier,will always be:are you a trading company or factory? Whether you source in B2B sites,or google,numerous suppliers options will make you confused,and the answers from suppliers are always:Yes,we’re factory! Or we’re trading company but we ave factory.The ambiguous answers are useless for customers.It’s not the times that the market is full of liers and fraud.Over 95% suppliers you find are willing to expand business and work with new customers,whether they’re ,tl,factories,or big trading companies,or even small trading company with 1-5 staffs.Small trading companies sometimes worth more trust for below reasons: Starting-up or small trading companies is established by sales,or technical manager that worked in factory for years,or purchasing manager in big trading companies for years,they knows exactly the order suits which factory,they know the product and they know more compared with factory sales. Small trading companies have low costs,little profit can meet the company operation.Compared with factory,thousand million dollars investment,or trading companies too many staffs,small orders and lower profit is enough.So the price will be at least 5% lower. Small trading companies have grow up requirement,so they care for every customers and strive to keep high quality ,lower price to building long term relationship and grow up with customers. Small trading companies will be more cautious and careful when selecting the factories to avoid possible quality problems or customers complaints. The biggest advantage of trading company is,they can always meet your every requirement,whether it’s big or small,easy or hard,they can always find suitable factories and work together to offer best quality and reasonable price products.and they’re more flexible when facing customers complains,shipping schedule,production schedule.Compared with complex factories rules ,working with trading companies will be much easier. So we can get the conclusion that small trading companies will be more trustworthy.But there’re still many small trading companies are fraud,how to identify them? Please just check the company on website: how about their website,the google result about this company,their export record ,their main customers,all these information can be got through google or third party website,then you can easily know whom they are.If there’s website,not much result about this company,then please consider give up.On the contrast,if the company issue industry related information,or professional product information,please trust them and this is your target!

How to select the right energy efficient glass? Architectural glass is widely used in our daily life,such as glass greenhouse/conservatory-Single piece tempered glass,Glass balustrade/canopy-laminated glass,Glass curtain wall-double glazed units.But glass a good thermal conductive material,Heat conduction through the glass occurs every second causing energy loss.In buildings, 1/3 of the energy is lost through the conduction of glass. Energy efficiency has increasingly valued by architects and developers to minimize the energy consumption of the building. energy-efficient-insulated-glass-manufacturer-morn   1 Main parameters of glass energy efficiency evaluation There are usually three forms of heat transfer: convection, radiation, and conduction. The parameters that measure energy propagation through glass are thermal conductivity and U value , solar transmittance, shading coefficient, SHGC(heat transfer in a stable condition). Let’s compare the normal architectural glass energy efficiency first: Glass U value Tsol% SC Application 4mm clear tempered glass 5.8 83 0.99 Greenhouse Glass 6mm Bronze tinted glass 5.8 45 0.68 Glass spandrel 6+1.52+6 tempered laminated glass 5.4 64 0.85 Point fixed facade 6+12A+6 insulated double glazing 2.8 63 0.83 Facade/curtain wall 6 low e+12A+6 insulated double glazing 1.6 30 0.45 Facade/Curtain wall Lower U value and SC means better glass energy efficiency.  Glass perfromance date can be calculated with our glass tools. 2 Energy efficient glass classification The main energy efficient glass are tinted glass, coated glass, double glazed units, vacuum glass. 2.1 heat absorption glass-tinted glass The energy efficiency of the heat absorbing glass is converting the light energy into heat energy when the sunlight passes through the glass. The main color of heat absorption glass are:Green,blud,grey ,bronze and even pink glass. tinted-glass-options-morn-building-materials   2.2 coated glass There are two types coated glass:reflective glass (also called solar control glass) and low emissivity glass. The reflective glass is coated film on the glass surface to have a certain reflection effect.It can reflect the solar energy back into the atmosphere to block the entry of solar energy into the room.But the visible light transmittance of the glass decreases as the reflectance increases. Ordinary flat glass has a high emissivity, usually 0.84. Low e coated glass surface radiance lower than that of ordinary glass to reduce heat loss. From single silver low e ,to double silver low e ,and then now triple silver low e coating,the more silver layers inside the coating,the lower emission will decrease U valie and Solar coefficient. low-e-insulated-glass-supplier-morn   2.3 insulated glass(double glazed units) Insulated glass,or double glazed units has a good thermal insulation because the air space between glass limit the convection and conduction heat transfer of the glass.insulating glass collect the advantages of itself and low e coated glass and playing a better role in energy conservation.

Vacuum glass creates a vacuum between two sealed glass sheets to make the conduction heat between glass and glass close to zero.While for technology and costs reason,vacuum glass hasn’t been applied in large scale,in the next 20-30 years,vacuum glass will replace double glazed units once price going down.   With the continuous development of glass processing technology, more energy efficient glass appears, to minimizes energy loss, the right glass must be selected based on budget and climate,and even glass location. Only when glass is selected according to local conditions can energy-saving glass fully utilize energy efficient features.

Insulated glass is composed of spacers, desiccant, sealant (or composite material) and glass .These materials form the edge sealing system.The service life of insulating glass is directly related to the quality of the edge sealing system and the manufacturing process, and is also affected by other factors such as installation conditions and application environment. The failure rate of insulating glass is 3% to 5% after 2 years.In which 63% was caused by increased dew point ,glass burst  accounts for 26%; other reasons accounted for 11%.The condensation inside the insulating glass is the most important reason for the failure of the insulating glass. Glass condensation inside IGU-Mornbm The dew point of insulated glass is <-40℃. Normal windows application temperature won’t lower than -40℃ ,but why IGU condensation happens? Water molecules penetrate into the IGU without being absorbed by the desiccant. Here let’s analysis the reasons for increased dew point completely: The glass was not cleaned thoroughly. With water vapor and water droplets, the adhesive force of the sealant to the glass will be greatly weakened, resulting in poor sealing effect of the insulating glass, leading to air leakage at the edge of the insulating glass, and increasing the possibility of external moisture entering. Glass washing machine-Glass must be cleaned throughly before sealing The effective adsorption capacity of the desiccant is low. The requirement for desiccant is not only to absorb water vapor inside the IGU, but also to continuously absorb the water vapor diffused into the air through the adhesive layer to continue to maintain the required dew point .If a low-quality desiccant is used, its original water absorption capacity is relatively poor, and it will be saturated in a short time, and it cannot effectively adsorb the water molecules that diffuse into the air layer, which will cause the water molecules to gather in the air. , The dew point of insulating glass rises. 3A desiccant used in IGU spacer The filling volume of desiccant. The filled desiccant should not less than 70% of the length of the aluminum spacer. Some manufacturers, in order to save costs or improper operation by the workers, the filling volume will be less than 70%.,the water vapor in the air layer of the insulating glass often exceeds the remaining adsorption capacity of the filled molecular sieve, which will greatly increase the possibility of condensation of the insulating glass. The glass sealing time after filling desiccant. IGU processing including cutting and assemble aluminium spacers,filling desiccant,and coating primary buytls,then sealing IGU system. there will be a time difference between them. At that time, the molecular sieve has absorbed a large amount of moisture in the air , resulting in insufficient remaining adsorption capacity, thereby increasing the possibility of condensation of insulating glass. IGU production line The suction holes of the aluminum spacer are too small. Even if the molecular sieve is filled enough, spacers with small absorption holes cannot quickly absorb the water vapor in the insulating glass , resulting in an increase in the dew point. High quality aluminium spacer Bad quality secondary sealant. Insulating glass secondary sealant is the key to prevent the condensation. The two sealants(primary sealant and secondary sealant) should be compatible and should not be miscible or react. Otherwise, it will easily lead to the failure of the edge seal and the entry of water vapor; and the second sealant has unstable quality and low molecular weight, under the ultraviolet rays of the sun, it migrates and volatilizes into the IGU ,In addition to the effects of ultraviolet rays, water and moisture in the environment will accelerate the aging of the sealant, thereby accelerating the speed of water vapor entering the air space. Bad sealing process. In the sealing process, there are often leakage, breakage, and negligence in sealing; as well as the improper mixture of two components, resulting in gaps inside the sealant, causing air leakage; Insufficient secondary sealant depth. For the sealant of insulating glass, the main factors affecting the diffusion of water molecules are the water permeability index, sealant thickness and the partial pressure difference of water vapor inside and outside the air. Thin sealant thickness will help the penetration of waters. Secondary sealant depth should comply with international standard Preservation of desiccant. After the molecular sieve is opened  the product that has not been used up in time, is not sealed in time, or is not tightly sealed, causing outside air to enter, and some molecular sieves will fail after inhaling moisture in the air, resulting in the possibility of condensation Compatibility test. When assembling insulating glass, a compatibility test should be done, and a matching sealing material that is compatible with the insulating glass sealant should be selected. Butterfly test forIGU sealant   The sealing types. Large-area IGU glass does not use vertical sealing process, which causes IGU to be concave or expand. After times the edge deformation will cause the glue and glass to separate, and water vapor will take advantage of the void. curved insulated glass will be produced horizontally Solutions to avoid insulated glass condensation: 1.Desiccant: Molecular sieves that have been opened that have not been used up in time should be sealed in time. Use 3A desiccant that meet standard. Filled desiccant should be at least 70% of the aluminium spacer total length. IGU sealing process should be finished within 45 minutes after filling desiccant. 2.Aluminium spacer.Aluminium spacer should comply with standard with reasonable breathing holes. 3.Glass:The glass must be carefully observed before combining the pieces to prevent liquid water exist  on the glass. 4.Secondary sealant. Secondary sealant thickness should comply with standard,for windows&doors should be at least 8mm,for curtain wall should be similar to spacer thickness. When assembling insulating glass, compatibility test should be done and choose a matching sealing material that is compatible with the insulating glass sealant. Try to seal the IGU with vertical sealing process. Use quality secondary sealant and mix them completely before sealing IGU. It is necessary to control the selection of raw and auxiliary materials, processing, manufacturing, equipment, technology, environment and other links to prevent condensation or other quality problems of insulating glass, extend its service life, reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

Download this article here:Insulated Glass performance data-Vitro #### Insulated glass-feature,thermal performance&calculation tool Insulated glass,also named as double glazed units,double glass,double glass units,if insulated glass contains 3 glass panels,it’s triple glazed units.It’s formed with two or three pieces glass,the middle parts are effectively separated with spacer and the edges are sealed to form glass with dry confined space.Insulated glass is widely used in modern glass buildings and glass facades for its high cost performance and advantages. Features of insulating glass: Thermal properties: Excellent thermal insulation performance and the ideal energy efficient building material.The glass thermal conductivity is 0.688 while the air thermal conductivity is 0.027,glass has 27 times higher thermal conductivity than air.The air gap between double glazed units can take advantage of the low thermal conductivity inside to decrease thermal conductivity. Insulated glass made with clear glass ,U value is only half of monolithic glass,in addition to high performance low-E coating,U value can decrease only 0.6W/M2.K.The glass has high termal insulation performance and used in passive house.

Because the inner glass that is in contact with the indoor air is affected by the air barrier, even if the outer layer contact is low, there is no condensation on the glass surface due to the temperature difference. Insulated glass dew point up to -40 ° C ,if filled with argon ,dew point decrease to -80℃ Light weight: blue-reflective-color-glass-facade Under the same effect of thermal insulation,insulating glass can substitute for part of brick wall or concrete wall to reduce the self-weight of buildings,simplify the building structure and increase daylighting area and enhance indoor confort level. Even though the air space in insulated glass added the glass thickness,but the insulated overall weight is almost same as the glass weight. 6-12-6 insulated glass weight 30kgs/m2, this significantly decrease the overall building weight based on offering excellent thermal insulation and sound ,proof function.For skyscrapers with hundreds meters high,the building safety can be ensured. Long lifetime: Insulating glass warranty time is 10 years,in most cases,the insulating lifetime can reach 20 years or even same lifetime as the building itself. The biggest advantage of insulated glass is energy saving,In most cases,the insulated glass edges are hidden in the aluminium frame,people will only see the glass panels,while even though insulated glass is simple products and widely used in global projects,people still don’t know how it works,what affect the insulating glass performance,and more details ,here comes the guideline of insulating glass.Firstly let’s know the heat transfer methods and types:   Heat Transfer Types Transfer heat from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object: heat conduction, heat convection, and thermal radiation. Transfer heat from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object: heat conduction, heat convection, and thermal radiation. Heat conduction:Heat Conduct is a phenomenon in which thermal energy is transferred due to the contact of various mass points in the same substance.Glass is good heat conductivity through which far infrared is quite easy to penetrate from the higher temperature side to the low temperature side. Heat Convection:Heat transfer is the flow of liquid or gas caused by thermal expansion, the hot part rises, and the cold part falls, thereby transferring heat energy. That is, the energy transfer caused by the movement of an object from a certain area of ​​space to another area of ​​different temperature. Thermal Radiation:Heat radiation means that the heat energy becomes radiant wave energy and is directly emitted. When it reaches an impermeable substance, it is absorbed by it and then becomes heat energy;In glass industry,the heat radiation means glass itself have high temperature after absorbing solar energy and becomes heat energy itself. After knowing the detailed factors that affect glass thermal insulation performance,here is Morn ‘s thermal insulation Solutions.SHGC and U value are the key points deciding glass thermal insulation performance.There’s some misunderstanding about glass U value,learn more here. Methods to increase insulated glass thermal insulation performance: Body tinted glass: Different from normal clear glass and low iron glass,body tinted glass ,body tinted glass -Grey,Bronze,Green,Pink etc can absorb solar energy and makes glass surface temperature much higher,then conduct the heat to interior surface. Body tinted glass have same U value with normal glass but much lower SC value. Body tinted glass can also been coated with low-E coating,compared with clear substrate ones,Low-E coating on tinted glass IGU has much lower SC,light transmittance and ,also higher price.There’s advantages and disadvantages using tinted substrate low-E coatings,Morn is your reliable manufacturer for this glass.

The main function of the coating is to decrease glass heat radiation.Hard coated low-E emmisivity is about 0.15,the biggest advantage of hard coated low-E is,its chemical performance and firmness is quite good,can be used as single piece glass, and laminated glass,insulated glass. Thermal-insulation-glass In China,only AGC and SYP ,Jinjing glass produce limited hard coated low-E glass:Planible G,Sunergy,SY-48,Energy Advantage,SGE60,SGC60,performance data in below table: Glass Type Glass Substrate LT U Summer U-Winter SC AGC Planbel G Clear 80 3.06 3.87 0.78 AGC Sunergy Clear 69 3.42 4.17 0.68 AGC SY-48 Clear 51 3.71 4.38 0.55 Energy Advantage Clear 83 2.74 3.61 0.82 SGE 60 Crystal Grey 56 2.86 3.71 0.61 SGC 60 Euro Grey 42 2.87 3.72 0.55 Soft Coated Low-E coating Soft coated low-E,also named as off-line low-E,it is generally vacuum-magnetized sputter coating process, and a multi-layer composite film is coated on the surface of the glass to realize Low-E function. The main functional film layer in the film layer is generally silver (Ag) film, which can be subdivided into single silver low e, double silver low e and triple silver low e.Their price,U value,and glass LSG are quite different between low-E products.. Low-e Coating Line,double silver low-E,low e glass Soft Coated low-E glass emmisivity is much lower than hard cated low-E,emmisivity is usually below 0.1,and most advanced triple silver low-E,for example,solarban 70XL,emmisivity is only 0.03. The only shortage of soft coated low-E is can only been insulated inside the IGU,it’s easy to be oxidized and damaged once been exposed in the air. In China,there’s hundreds of soft coating lines producing all kinds of soft coated low-E products,available glass substrate can be clear,low iron,body tinted glass etc,light transmittance varies from 10%-85%,and SC value varies from 0.2-0.65,below are some sample low-E performance we produce: Glass Configuration Substrate LT % U-Summer U-Winter SC Clear 6-12-6 Clear 79 2.70 2.84 0.81 Single PLE88A 6-12-6 Clear 75 1.81 1.81 0.66 Double PDE80A 6-12-6 Clear 71 1.58 1.64 0.48 Triple MTE70 6-12-6 Clear 66 1.58 1.64 0.35 Single Silver Low-E coating The first generation coating with one silver layer inside the coating.U value is about 1.8W/m2.K,SC varies from 0.3-0.7. It has been widely used in various buildings-Glass curtain wall,glass spandrel,etc. Features a.Visible light transmittance— adequate indoor natural day lighting. b.Solar energy transmittance — a wide range of shading coefficient available. c.High far infrared reflectance — low U-value, reduced thermal transfer due to temperature difference. china insulated glass manufacturer-morn bm Double Silver Low-E coating Two silver layers inside the coating.

Meanwhile,the low-E coating position on exterior panel and interior panels also will have slight difference,the difference mainly happened to the glass SC value,learn more. Argon Filled Insulating glass Argon is a kind of inert gas,compared with traditional air,Argon filled insulated glass have many advantages: Keep the IGU pressure balance ,glass burst due to the pressure difference can be reduced. Increase  insulated glass thermal property.Argon filled insulated glass U value is 0.2-0.3W/M2.K lower than normal IGU with air. Prolong insulated glass lifetime. prolong the desiccant service life in the aluminum spacer frame. Protect the low-E coating. Decreasing the low-E coating oxidation rate and prolonging the lifetime of the coated glass. the heat convection in the insulated glass can be slowed down, and the sound insulation and noise reduction effect can be further improved. Poor quality insulated glass might have argon leakage,please be ensure that purchasing insulated glass from reputable and reliable insulated glass suppliers. Warm edge spacer insulating glass To ensure the long lifetime and good thermal insulation performance,the edges must be sealed strictly to keep the space between glass panels.The spacer’s function are:keep insulated glass structural safety,insulate the IGU internal space.The spacer materials are: Aluminium Spacer:Traditional spacers used in the IGU are usually aluminium spacer,the disadvantage is high thermal conductivity. Stainless steel spacer:thermal conductivity lower than Aluminium,Stainless steel spacer has difficult in bending,so factories have to use steel connector to join the spacers,which make production efficiency quite low.So this is not widely used in IGU fabricators. Thermal break spacers, spacer compose metal and plastic materials.The main brands are Alupro,Technoform,Fenzi,Lisec. The is the most widely used warm edge spacers.ompared with non-metal materials,this kind spacer price is better and more convenient in production. Non-metal materials,such as superspacer, TPS,glass fiber stripes.The main brands are QUANEX,they have series products that compose the butyl,desiccant,and structural sealant, so secondary structural sealant is not necessary.But because there’s no high efficiency production lines that can produce this kind of insulated glass,the promotion and market for non-metal materials spacers are very limited. insulated glass spacer option Warm edge spacers can decrease the insulating glass edge heat transmission loss and increase the windows and doors thermal insulation performance. Extra processing of insulated glass: Capillary tube: Capillary tube is used in insulated glass to balance the air pressure inside and outside of insulted glass to avoid glass contract or expand after installation. Capillary tube is small stainless steel tube with only 1mm diameter,it’s installed on insulated glass edge(from aluminium spacer bar) and certain parts(around 50mm) is exposed outside to keep air flow inside and outside glass. Capillary tube is used in insulated glass to balance the air pressure inside and outside of insulted glass to avoid glass contract or expand after installation.But please make sure that your capillary tube are installed correctly. Insulated-glass-with-capillary-tube-suppliers-morn Decorative Cross Bar: Decorative cross bar is also made with aluminium profiles,Different from aluminium spacer bar,it’s used in glass middle,or glass center,it doesn’t support the insulated but only have decorative function.The decorative cross bar color can be customized to be same as the windows frame,but do pay attention to the bar position to keep all cross bars in windows&doors paralled. insulated-glass-with-decorative-bars U channels on insulated glass； Architects and designers in MEGA areas like to insert U channels at glass edge,the U channel will be embedded with the aluminium frame and work as supporting point for the glass,this will cause bigger and thicker spacer (over 20mm) and increased glass costs. the U channel will be embedded with the aluminium frame and work as supporting point for the glass Perforated IGU； Insulated glass can also been used in point supported glass facade instead of tempered glass and laminated glass.To fix the spider and claw safety,Morn can supply insulated glass with perforations ,sealed with aluminium Drings for better and safe installation. Morn can supply insulated glass with perforations ,sealed with aluminium Drings for better and safe installation. Stepped Insulated Glass: When it comes to semi-stick glass curtain wall, or glass skylight,stepped insulated glass,or offset insulated glass is used.Silicon sealant can be applied on the glass edge to make it keep uniform color as glass  sealant.

Is solar control PVB film really effective in laminated glass? Solar control PVB film is used to reduce the solar energy that transmitted the laminated glass.Same as normal PVB film ,solar control PVB film specifications, laminating workmanship is exactly same as normal PVB film. Solutia SG41/SH41 are solar control film produced by Eastman,L-SEC SCF301 and SCF 307 are products of Sekisui. Here we study the film and see if these solar control film is really effective when been applied in laminated glass. Firstly let’s see why Solutia develop solar control PVB film-SG41: Energy awareness driving market High demand for solar control laminated glass Complex laminating technics for coated glass Saflex ® SG solar interlayer is a high visible light, solar absorbing technology designed to enhance solar heat gain performance as compared to monolithic clear glass and laminates made with standard clear polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. I believe that many architects and designers are easily been persuaded by their sales to change to using solar control film instead of normal PVB film in laminated glass,but how much solar energy can be blocked or absorbed ?How energy efficient is the solar control film? Below chart may help you understand. Solar-control-PVB-film-performance-data   The chart contain 6 different glass combinations including 2 S-LEC solar control film, 2 Solutia solar control film,clear laminated glass with normal PVB ,and laminated glass with hard coated low-E. 1.Light transmittance:As we can see compared with normal clear laminated glass,all other 5 options LT is lower but keep over 70% which offers good visible light transmittance. 2.Solar energy: Compared with normal lami glass, solar control film have relatively lower solar energy direct transmittance,and Solutia ones is much better.The best one SG41 reduce 32% solar energy transmittance. 3.U value: As we know U value means the glass heat conduction,the lower U value,the lower heat conduction through glass.All solar control film keeps same value as normal clear,it won’t reduce the energy through the glass. 4.SC value:SC value means the enegy pass the glass,the lower,the better.S-LEC SCF301,SCF307,Solutia SG41,SH41 decreased 9%,21%,31%,20% solar energy. With above info,we can see solar control film does decrease certain solar energy,from 10% to 30%,but compared with hard coated low-E glass,they have similar LT,SC value,while hard coated low-E product has 50% lower U value. Then now the cost:S-LEC SCF301-USD20/SQM, SCF307-USD35/SQM, Solutia SG41 USD30/SQM. Hard coated low-E price is only USD2/SQM higher than normal clear glass.Hard coated low-E has the best costs performance. Conclusion: Solar control film can reduce solar energy ,but overall performance is worse than hard coated low-E whose costs is only 10% of solar control film. It’s unwise and not recommended to use solar control film in your laminated glass,if you really want to make your laminated glass energy efficient,please consider cheaper and better performance hard coated low-E products.

Excellent thermal performance Doors and windows using low e glass can greatly reduce the transfer of indoor thermal energy to the outside due to radiation, achieving ideal energy-saving effects. Due to the reduction of heat loss, the fuel consumed by heating can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing harmful Gas emissions. China-low-e-insulated-glass-manufacturer-morn   2. Good optical performance Low-E glass has a high transmittance, while the reflectance is very low, and the optical performance is greatly improved. When viewed from the outside, the appearance is more transparent and clear, which ensures the building’s good lighting, and avoids the light pollution caused by the large-area insulated glass(double glazed units) door and window light reflection, creating a softer and more comfortable light environment. LOW-E glass is widely used in many fields. Its high efficiency, energy saving and environmental performance, changing fashion appearance and high quality requirements are becoming the new favorite of the high-end buildings. China Morn-Your Turnkey Architectural Glass Partner Download this article here:Knowledge-about-Low-e-glass #### Laminated glass lifetime Laminated glass lifetime Laminated glass is a composite glass product in which two or more layers of organic polymer interlayer film are sandwiched between glass and processed to make the glass and the intermediate film adhere together for a long time. The laminated glass will be stuck to the film even if the glass is broken, which effectively prevents the occurrence of debris pitting and penetrating fall events, and ensures personal safety. Laminated-glass-bubbles   The lifetime of laminated glass depends mainly on the material of the interlayer. Normally, wet laminated glass and EVA laminated glass are mainly used for indoor partitions, and are not suitable for windows or curtain walls. Wet laminated glass and EVA laminated glass will accelerate aging under sunlight, and yellowing will occur after 1-2 years. Degumming bubbles, ice and fog will appear in 2-3 years. In general, wet laminated glass ages much faster than EVA laminated glass. EVA laminated glass can be used indoors for more than 10 years without direct sunlight. PVB and SGP laminated glass, which is commonly used as a door or window or curtain wall, has much better whether resistance. The typical failure of PVB and SGP laminated glass is the delaminating. Delaminating means that the glass and the interlayer are disengaged, and the safety characteristics of the laminated glass are lost. Regarding the life of PVB and SGP laminated glass, there are currently no relevant standards and specifications in China. At present, domestic glass processing enterprises generally give 5-7 years product warranty period with reference to foreign PVB and SGP supplier,such as Dupont,Kuarary,Trosifol,Saflex brand. laminated glass delamination problem   In fact, the life of PVB and SGP laminated glass is greatly affected by the thickness of the interlayer layer, the quality of the laminated glass substrate, and the process control of the laminated glass.

What’s tempered glass? Tempered glass is made of float glass which is firstly heated to softening point then rapidly cooled down by air,to enable even compression stress on the glass surface.During the instant cooling procession,external glass is solidified because of rapid cooling process,and as internal glass cools down slower and would make glass surface formed a compression stress. Meanwhile,internal glass produces tensile stress with further makes glass mechanical strength of glass up to double increment and to be with good thermal stability. Applications:Tempered glass is a safety glass ,extensively applied in areas which has critical request of high mechanical strength and safety,such as glass door,curtain wall,interior glass partition,elevators,showcase,windows&doors,furniture and household appliances.

Laminated glass is made of two or more piece glass sandwiched with multi layers interlayer(PVB,SGP or EVA interlayer) under high temperature and pressure.The appearance and installation of laminated glass are the same as tempered glass,but much more durable. Due to its unique features,laminated glass can be extensively used in building skylight,elevated floor,high grade curtain wall,and window,furniture,showcase,aquarium etc. Difference 1:Status after breakage The existing surface compression makes tempered glass stress relatively stable ,and glass strength is 3-5 times higher than float glass.The easiest way to break a tempered glass is to hit the weakest glass corners,after glass breaking,it will shattered into many small pieces with obtuse angles which won’t cause severe hurt to human body. tempered glass breakage For laminated glass,whether its annealed laminated glass or tempered glass,the interlayer can quickly absorb and weaken a mass of energy when laminated glass is attacked by outside force.It’s hard to be penetrated and remain integrally in the frame even when it’s broken because of the high cohesion and persistent interlayer. Laminated glass can avoid personal or property damage caused by the falling of the glass, and the whole piece of glass remains intact and can continue to resist impact, wind and rain. With special layers glass&interlayer, laminated glass can be made into hurricane proof glass,anti-intrusion glass and even bulletproof glass to offer the highest safety protection function. Below video shows what happened when tempered glass and laminated glass broken: https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/PVB-LAMI-VS-SGP-LAMINATED-GLASS.mp4 Difference 2: UV resistance Ultraviolet rays in solar radiation are the main cause of fading and damage to carpets, furniture, art paintings, curtains and many chemical fiber fabrics. But many things in furniture are placed indoors, why ultraviolet rays can still come in. Because the long-wave ultraviolet rays in the ultraviolet rays cannot be blocked by the glass, it will also form an ultraviolet radiation zone in the room. Years of UV radiation can cause furniture to fade and age. Laminated glass can effectively prevent UV(as high as more than 99% of UV) penetrate the glass and won’t cause furniture fading. Difference 3:Acoustic performance Under the same thickness,laminated glass can reduce the both STC and OITC. The interlayer ，whether it’s PVB,SGP or EVA can effectively prevent sound wave.Sound wave can be obviously weakened when it goes through laminated glass.Here is a soundproof performance comparison between laminated glass and tempered glass.

Compared with tempered glass,laminated glass U value ,SHGC is relatively low and save certain energy costs.When low-E coatings been applied on laminated glass,especially hard coated low-e coating,such as AGC-Planibel G,Sunergy Clear ,Pilkington Energy Advantage are used,the U value is just 50-60% of normal tempered glass,it can significantly decrease energy costs and used in commercial buildings such as point supported curtain wall,all glass curtain wall.

With above comparison,we know that laminated glass can offer better protection level,high price and more variety functions,but when shall we select tempered glass and when laminated glass? As a professional glass manufacturer ,below is the suggestion from our glass experts: For Interior application and low rise buildings,tempered glass is enough. Interior applications,for example shower rooms,kitchen cabinet,glass partition,glass railings,glass balustrade glass,pool fence glass ,greenhouse glass,the tempered glass can offer enough strength to protect your safety. Of course some customers want the glass unique and more smart,laminated glass can have many functions &color options to achieve customer’s requirement,whether it’s acoustic glass,thermal insulation glass,privacy protection glass,or decorative glass. Frameless-Glass-Balustrades For commercial buildings,laminated glass is necessary. Commercial building ,as more people and more crowded,laminated glass can offer better protection. Another reason is tempered glass self explosion is always a safety problem for customers,even though factory can test the glass through heat soaking test to reduce glass spontaneous breakage possibility,laminated glass is more smart option ,after all,the both piece glass break possibility is much lower. Some areas that must use laminated glass As tempered glass cannot keep integrity after breaking,the fragments will fall after broken,so some areas laminated glass is a must during design process,these areas include glass canopy,glass skylight, outdoor glass bridge,interior glass floors,glass staircases,curtain wall glass,bank bulletproof glass .

Such as 21.52 PVB laminated glass,17.52mm laminated glass,12.76mm laminated glass,20.89mm SGP laminated glass,why the laminated glass shall be made with equal thickness single pieces? 21.52mm laminated safety glass-CHINA MORN   1.Glass flatness. As we know that after tempering process,glass will has overall bow and local bow.thin glass,especially 3mm and 4mm will have larger overall bow,while thicker ones flatness is much better. If we laminate 4mm glass with 6mm glass,the glass flatness difference will cause imbalance pressure,the PVB can cohere the glass temperately,but several years after installation,delamination will happen. The another result of the glass flatness is:Some glass manufacturers has very bad tempering quality ,glass overall bow and local bow is near or exceed the standard requirement,when laminating different thickness tempered glass,the non-conforming ratio  will be very high,the typical problems are:Bubbles at glass edge and glass center,the costs is higher than equal thickness laminated glass. LAMINATED GLASS DEFECTS-BUBBLES   2.Glass strength. Thicker glass has higher strength,if the two glass made of laminated glass has different thickness,the strength difference will decrease the overall strength of the laminated glass.

When direct sunlight and skylight are irradiated onto the glass surface, the specular reflection (ie, specular reflection) of the glass. And the resulting reflected glare,it’s also an important reason that cause birds hitting glass. Glass-curtain-wall-light-pollution-morn Light pollution is the murderer of accidental traffic accidents. A glass walled building stands like a huge mirror with a width of tens of meters and a height of nearly 100 meters. It reflects the traffic conditions and traffic lights (even multiple reflections). The reflected light enters the car at high speed, which will cause sudden temporary blindness and visual illusion, which will cover the driver’s vision in an instant, or make him feel dizzy and seriously endanger the visual function of pedestrians and drivers. The glass curtain walls built around the residential area will reflect the surrounding buildings. According to optical experts, the reflected light of mirrored building glass is stronger than that of sunlight, and its reflectivity is as high as 82% to 90%. The light is almost completely reflected, which greatly exceeds the range that the human body can bear. In the summer, the sun is reflected into the living room. The strong glare is the most damaging to the original good atmosphere in the room. It also raises the room temperature by an average of 4 °C to 6 °C. People who work and live in a white bright and polluted environment for a long time may easily lead to decreased vision, dizziness, insomnia, palpitations, loss of appetite and depression, and other symptoms of neurasthenia, which may cause changes in normal physiological and psychological conditions. Long-term will induce certain diseases. Therefore, the State Environmental Protection Administration has received complaints about light pollution all over the country every year, which has attracted the attention of relevant state departments. curtain-wall-light-pollution-morn Light-pollution-problem-glass-wall Light pollution is produced under the following specific conditions: (1) the use of large areas of high reflectivity coated glass; (2) in a specific direction and at a specific time; (3) the degree of light pollution and the direction, position and height of the glass curtain wall Have a close relationship. Because the human’s angle of view has the greatest influence within an angle of ±15 degrees around 2 meters, the intensity of light reflection is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the reflector to the human eye. In recent years, governments and relevant academic groups have attached great importance to the issue of light pollution, and have successively published a series of technical documents, standards and decrees to control light pollution. China has also attached great importance to the problem of curtain wall construction. In 1996, the regulations on the technical standards of curtain wall engineering and the provisional regulations on strengthening the management of building curtain wall projects were successively introduced, which made the quality of control curtain wall projects have a legal basis. According to their actual situation, various localities have also taken some corresponding feasible measures. Vanceva-laminated-glass-supplier-morn The emergence of the problem of light pollution does not mean that the glass curtain wall should not be done, but how to do it well. At present, the development of high-tech has developed the material of curtain wall from single glass to steel plate, aluminum plate, alloy plate, marble plate, enamel sintered plate, etc. Through reasonable design, the glass curtain wall and the curtain wall of steel, aluminum, alloy and other materials are combined. Together, it not only makes the high-rise buildings more beautiful, but also reduces the light pollution caused by the reflection of the curtain wall more effectively. It can further reduce the self-weight of the high-rise buildings and give full play to the advantages of the curtain wall building materials. Glass-curtain-wall-architectural-glass-supplier-morn   Glass plays a key role in the glass curtain wall. The glass type of the glass curtain wall should be carefully selected according to some parameters of the glass, and the glass with glare reduction performance should be selected. These parameters include the light and climate parameters of the building site, the transmission number of visible light, Reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, reflection coefficient and absorption coefficient for sunlight, as well as heat transmission coefficient, thermal expansion coefficient, and thickness, maximum size, weight, and wind resistance. It is well known that glass has transmission, absorption and reflection properties for light. The glass curtain wall uses different types of glass according to these characteristics. The glass used for the glass curtain wall generally has transparent glass, colored glass, heat absorbing glass, coated glass, coated glass, laminated glass, and photochemical glass. The advantages and disadvantages of each of them can be seen in the glass used on these glass walls.

Normal double silver low-E minimum SC value is 0.3,while some project require 0.28 or even lower SC value,to achieve the glass performance data,low e coated tinted glass is necessary. c.Colorful glass facade.low-e on clear glass has limited color options:Silver grey low e,clear low e,blue low-e,gold color low e.To make the glass facade different from other buildings,colorful tinted glass with low E coating can make a great difference. grey-color-low-e-glass-facade   While most glass processors don’t like tinted glass with low e coating orders,the disadvantage of this kind of insulated glass are: a.Higher price.Low-e coating process require fresh glass,but for production schedule reason,there’s few chance to get fresh tinted glass,to solve this,processors have to cut,temper the tinted glass first and then have low e coating.Compared with standard sized low e glass,coating after tempering process production efficiency is at least 50% lower than standard clear low e production. b.Out of production capability. Only few large glass processors have low-E coating line that can supply this kind of glass.Most glass processors have to ask assistance of the coating process.While for above mentioned low production efficiency,and potential arguments about glass quality(glass color,coating quality，float glass quality)etc,large processors wouldn’t like to offer coating service for small processors,so this kind of orders are usually out of small processors’ supply capability. c.Glass samples&replacement:both the glass samples and replacements have the same process procedure-cut,edging,temper,coating,insulating,packing. It takes much time and costs to prepare samples for approval and glass replacement.Sometimes,the delayed arrival of samples and replacements will cause losing project or penalty. d.Delayed delivery. There’s few manufacturers produce tinted glass,for some reason,processors cannot get required tinted glass in time which will cause delayed delivery time. e.Potential color difference. Every lot tinted glass has slight color difference,if the project supplying last long time or have large quantity glass replacement,processors cannot find same lot tinted glass for previous supplied glass.In this case,color difference is easily happened. Please consider above mentioned disadvantages of low -e coating on tinted glass and make decision. Morn is your turnkey double glazed units supplier,we offer all kinds of tinted low e products. Download this article here:Low e coating on tinted glass-advantage&disadvantage #### Low e coating position-Surface #2 VS Surface #3 Low e coating position-Surface #2 VS Surface #3 Most low e coatings for insulated glass are placed on surface #2,but some projects have the low e coating on surface #3,but what’s the difference if we place the coating on #2 and #3? Here we’ll introduce how the low e coating position affect the glass performance. Main difference -Coating position on surface #2 & #3 1.Different SC value. By placing low-E coating on surface #3,the SC value will be much higher on surface @3. Let’s take an example of typical 6LOW-E+12A+6C and 6C+12A+6 LOW-E with Jinjing Optiselec T70. By placing low-E on surface 2,the SC value is SC value is 0.34,while on surface #3,it’s 0.41,increased by 20%.So clients should adjust the coating position according to the climate and SC requirement.In cold areas,the low e coating shall be placed on surface #3 to get higher solar coefficient and sunlight,in hot areas,low e coating shall be on surface #2 to avoid sunlight. We can also note that whether on position 2 or 3,the U value are the same. Solar radiation consists mainly of short-wave energy. This short-wave solar energy can pass through clear glass with relatively little resistance. When Low-E is placed on surface #3, most incoming solar radiation first passes through the outer glass pane without reflection. The energy then enters the air or gas cavity and reaches the interior pane, where it is absorbed and converted into heat. The key advantage of surface #3 Low-E lies in how it handles long-wave infrared heat. Once solar energy is absorbed inside the IGU and the indoor space begins to warm up, the Low-E coating reflects long-wave heat radiation back toward the interior. This reduces heat loss while still allowing strong solar heat input. As a result, the overall Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is higher. In contrast, Low-E on surface #2 reflects a larger portion of solar energy before it even enters the cavity, reducing solar transmission. Therefore, surface #3 Low-E is ideal for heating-dominated or cold climates, where maximizing passive solar gain improves indoor comfort and reduces heating demand. By selecting Low-E on surface #3, designers can achieve a balanced solution: excellent insulation performance combined with enhanced solar heat utilization. 2.Difference color and visual effect. Low-e-glass-relfective-color-morn As we know most low e coating reflect color are usually light grey,blue,and silver color,while the back side of the low e coating are quite different,especially some double silver low e will have red or purple colors even if the front color is blue,so if we place the coating on surface 3,the reflect the color will be much different,in addition to the interfere of the 1st piece glass reflect,the color will varies. Morn is your turnkey low e coated insulated glass supplier from China,we would like to offer professional suggestions for your project,welcome contact us for more info. Extend:Solar reflective coating on position 2 & 3. #### Low e glass introduction Low e glass introduction Low-emissvity glass (also known as LOW-E glass) is a multi-layer metal or metal oxide film coated on a glass surface, one or two layers of which are mainly Ag-based. It can effectively reduce solar energy absorption or control energy loss, and greatly reduce the heat transfer coefficient of glass. It can reflect 50%~80% of the heat transferred by glass, especially far-infrared radiant heat, while allowing all or part of visible light to pass. Coated glass. Insulated glass(double glazed units) processed with LOW-E coated glass not only has good energy-efficient and heat-insulating effect. According to its heat insulation and transparency effects, it can be roughly divided into three categories: high-transmittance LOW-E glass, sun-shade LOW-E glass, and solar shading LOW-E glass. lowe glass   According to the production method: it can be divided into online and offline low e coating. 1, high transmittance LOW-E glass Features: a, high visible light transmittance – good indoor lighting, energy efficient, good appearance and permeability. b,high far-infrared reflectivity – heat transfer coefficient K value (or u value) is low, thermal insulation performance is good. Product suitability: Due to its good visible light transmittance, the product is suitable for high-permeability exterior design in any area, which makes the building naturally light and has high transparency. Its extremely high far-infrared reflectivity makes it suitable for energy-efficient glass curtain wall, especially for cold regions. energy-efficient-low-e-glass-morn   2, Solar shading LOW-E glass Features: A, moderate visible light transmittance – visible light transmittance is generally 50% -70%, on the one hand does not affect the indoor natural lighting. B, extremely high far-infrared reflectivity – heat transfer coefficient K value (u value) is lower than high permeability LOW-E glass, better thermal insulation performance, can effectively limit indoor and outdoor far-infrared heat energy into and out of the room. C, lower solar transmittance – glass sunshade coefficient SC <0.5, can effectively prevent solar radiation from entering the room. low-e-function-morn   Suitable type It can be seen from the above characteristics that the product can effectively block the heat of the sun from entering the room in summer and reflect the background infrared radiation from the outside. Although it restricts the entry of some solar thermal energy in winter, the solar energy intensity in winter is only about 1/3 of that in summer, which has little effect and can effectively block the indoor heating equipment and the infrared heat energy emitted by the human body. A variety of reflective colors, decorative effects, the product can be widely used in the southern region. 3, functional LOW-E glass Morn pays great attention to product quality and product functionality, and has developed many functional composite low e coated glass. (1) Double silver LOW-E glass Double silver LOW-E glass is advanced LOW-E glass, the film layer is more complex, not only has a high transmittance, but also has a very low solar transmittance, which maximizes the filtering of sunlight into a cold light source. The contradiction between high visible light transmittance and low solar energy transmittance is more suitable for cold regions in the north. (2) ceramic fritted LOW-E glass With the advancement of technology and the improvement of living standards, people’s requirements for products are not only energy efficient, but also require artistic effects. For this reason, our company’s R&D center has developed a series of various patterns of ceramic fritted glass with low-e coating. (4) temperable LOW-E glass The glass forms a strong physical and chemical bond with the LOW-E film layer, which ensures mutual understanding and does not oxidize the film layer during tempering or bending. Detachment ensures that the glass can be hot processed and processed off-site. insulated-glass-manufacturer-morn-building-materials   Triple silver low e glass Triple silver low-e contains 3 layers AG coatings inside which decrease glass solar coefficient significantly without affecting the light transmittance.Morn has triple silver low e coatings that can compete PPG solarban 70XL, Solarban 90 to suit worldwide projects.

The general principle is to pour the molten glass into the surface of the liquid (liquid tin) with a specific gravity greater than that of the glass liquid to form the glass. Float-glass-production   The low iron glass(or ultra clear glass) is relative to normal clear glass. The color of pure glass should be colorless and transparent like white crystal (the main components of both are silica), due to impurities in the glass ( iron inside will cause the color of the  glass to be greenish. The so-called ultra clear glass is to use some method to reduce the iron content in the glass so that the color of the glass is close to transparent and colorless. Its price is several times more expensive than normal clear glass. Low-iron-glass-VS-clear-glass   Low-iron-glass-VS-clear-glass   Both clear glass and low iron glass can be used in buildings,the main application of low iron glass are:Glass greenhouse,glass balustrades,glass aquaria,glass curtain wall.

For normal clear glass, glass processor s can use the remained glass for other projects,but remained tinted glass are mostly becoming stock,there’re not many projects require same tinted glass,this is also part of the total costs. 2.Low-E coating:Almost all glass processing factories can produce normal clear low-E IGU,but coating low-E on tinted glass can only be finished by low-E glass manufacturers.These factories are usually very large scale,and good quality,good management,their finished glass price is higher than other small scale glass processors. 3.Low-E coating on tinted glass ,the defects is more clear and higher defects ratio.this also cause the higher price. 4.Processing difficulty:some glass combination is clear +PVB+ tinted low-E+air space +clear,as the low-E glass and clear glass has quite different heat absorbing capability,it require high processing technics to guarantee the laminated glass quality,and higher defective glass increase glass costs. 5.Fresh glass:Float glass manufacturers don’t usually produce tinted glass,maybe 3-6 months each lot,while low-E coating require very fresh glass,usually within 1 month,if tinted glass used is not fresh,processors have to cut,and temper the glass first ,and then have low-E coating on the cut to size glass,the costs is quite different. 6.Glass waste ratio:compared with normal clear glass,tinted glass standard panels are limited,so if the finish glass size is not good will cause very high waste and low cutting ratio.

The performance of insulating glass can be optimized without increasing the cost. For triple glass units which containing 2 pieces of Low-E coating, some manufacturers put the Low-E film on the 2nd and 5th surface, and some put the Low-E film on the 2nd and 4th surface; what effect it has on the overall performance of the glass, this post will analyzes this through experiments. Tests: Two kinds of products, single silver and double silver low-e, are simulated and calculated. Each Low-E product has several different conditions at different positions when one piece and two pieces are respectively. And the two conditions of filling the gas cavity with air or argon are calculated respectively. The main factor affecting the glass performance of different Low-E products is the reflectivity, that is, the reflection of far-infrared heat radiation back to have better thermal insulation performance. codeLow-E coatinglOW-E QTYPositionGlassU valueSCSHGC 1Single silver CES11-80125LE+9A+5+9A+51.490.600.52 2Single silver CES11-80125LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.260.590.52 3Single silver CES11-80135LE+9A+5+9A+51.490.670.58 4Single silver CES11-80135LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.260.680.55 5Single silver CES11-80145LE+9A+5+9A+51.460.630.54 6Single silver CES11-80145LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.240.620.60 7Single silver CES11-80155LE+9A+5+9A+51.440.680.60 8Single silver CES11-80155LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.20.690.47 9Single silver CES11-8022/35LE+9A+5LE+9A+51.440.550.48 10Single silver CES11-8022/35LE+9AR+5LE+9AR+51.20.550.46 11Single silver CES11-8022/45LE+9A+5LE+9A+51.230.530.46 12Single silver CES11-8022/45LE+9AR+5LE+9AR+50.990.520.46 13Single silver CES11-8022/55LE+9A+5+9A+5LE1.230.560.49 14Single silver CES11-8022/55LE+9AR+5+9AR+5LE0.990.560.49 15Single silver CES11-8023/55+9A+5LE+9A+5LE1.230.620.54 16Single silver CES11-8023/55+9AR+5LE+9AR+5LE0.990.620.54 17Single silver CES11-8024/55+9A+5LE+9A+5LE1.410.600.52 18Single silver CES11-8024/55+9A+5LE+9A+5LE1.170.590.52 codeLow-E coatinglOW-E QTYPositionGlassU valueSCSHGC 1Dual silver CES1-67125LE+9A+5+9A+51.420.400.35 2Dual silver CES1-67125LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.180.400.35 3Dual silver CES1-67135LE+9A+5+9A+51.420.520.45 4Dual silver CES1-67135LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.180.540.46 5Dual silver CES1-67145LE+9A+5+9A+51.390.470.41 6Dual silver CES1-67145LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.490.460.40 7Dual silver CES1-67155LE+9A+5+9A+51.390.560.49 8Dual silver CES1-67155LE+9AR+5+9AR+51.150.570.49 9Dual silver CES1-6722/35LE+9A+5LE+9A+51.400.360.31 10Dual silver CES1-6722/35LE+9AR+5LE+9AR+51.140.360.31 11Dual silver CES1-6722/45LE+9A+5LE+9A+51.130.330.28 12Dual silver CES1-6722/45LE+9AR+5LE+9AR+50.880.320.28 13Dual silver CES1-6722/55LE+9A+5+9A+5LE1.130.370.32 14Dual silver CES1-6722/55LE+9AR+5+9AR+5LE0.880.370.32 15Dual silver CES1-6723/55+9A+5LE+9A+5LE1.130.460.40 16Dual silver CES1-6723/55+9AR+5LE+9AR+5LE0.880.470.41 17Dual silver CES1-6724/55+9A+5LE+9A+5LE1.370.440.38 18Dual silver CES1-6724/55+9A+5LE+9A+5LE1.120.430.38 Conclusion: Under the same conditions, the difference of the heat transfer coefficient of the cavity filled with air or argon is only related to the type and quantity of the Low-E film, and has nothing to do with the position. When there is only one Low-E glass in triple glass units, the U value of the Low-E film on surface 4thand 5this the lowest, and the shading coefficient is the highest on surface 5th. When there are two Low-E glass , the U value of the Low-E film is the lowest on the 2/3, 3/5, and the shading coefficient is the highest on the 3/5 sides, followed by the 2/5 sides. The lowest is 2/4th. Even though triple glass units can have excellent U value,but the thick glass also has high requirement on windows frame and hardware ,causing high price. Vacuum insulating glass is new trend ,with thickness only 25% of normal triple glass units, but with much better thermal insulation performace.HaanGlas tested the 10.2mm VIG with dual silver low-E, tested U value is just 0.47W/M2.K,VIG will make your windows more energy efficient. #### LOW-E Glass Processing Instruction LOW-E Glass Processing Instruction Morn offers all kinds of low e coated glass:Single silver low e,double silver low e and triple silver low e,to be your turnkey building glass supplier,here is a low e coated glass processing instruction to help insulated glass manufacturers decreasing defective ratio and save costs during processing low e glass.

If an double glazed units has a poor energy efficient effect, even if the durability and sealing life are long, it is a low-grade double glazed units. Conversely, if the insulated performance of the insulated glass is good, but the durability and sealing life are short, it is not what people are pursuing. Obviously, the ideal insulated glass should have the best energy efficient effect and the longest sealing durability,glass sealant, 3A molecular sieve, thermal conductivity, structural-sealant-insulated-glass-sealant   The main factors affecting the energy efficient performance of double glazed units are glass, aluminium spacers (frames) and gases. There are clear float glass or low-emissivity glass; the spacers have cold edges (aluminum spacers) or warm edge spacer; and the gas has air or an inert gas such as argon. The insulated glass with clear float glass, air and aluminium spacer has the worst energy efficient effect under fixed conditions, while the low-emissivity glass, argon filled double glazed units with warm edge spacer and filled argon glass have the best energy efficient effect. glass-desiccant-china-morn   The main factors affecting the durability and sealing life of the double glazed units are glass sealant, sealing structure, spacer, desiccant (molecular sieve) etc. It has been proven that the insulated glass using the double sealant, the continuous spacer strip and the 3A molecular sieve has the longest sealing life, while the insulating life of the insulated glass using the single-pass seal, the four-sided gusset aluminum spacer and the 4A molecular sieve is short. The 20-year tracking of the actual use of insulated glass by the North American insulated Glass Association confirms this. In addition, the results of the accelerated glass aging test (PI test) show that the expected sealing life of the insulated glass with different spacer sealing structures is huge, ranging from only 2 months to as long as 100 years or more. Under the same conditions, the use of different spacers directly affects the energy efficient performance and durable sealing of the double glazed units. However, for a long period of time, aluminum spacers (mainly four-sided gussets) are commonly used to make insulated glass. Although the sealing life is long, the thermal conductivity is high, resulting in poor energy efficient effect, which is directly present on the edge of the insulated glass. In the late 1970s, the composite strips had the characteristics of low thermal conductivity, which was improved compared with the use of aluminum spacers to make insulated glass, but unfortunately reduced the sealing life. insulated-glass-insulator-china-morn   This misfortune is also manifested in the fact that in the traditional thinking framework, no matter how hard and improved, the energy efficient effect of double glazed units and the durability of sealing life can not be achieved. In the late 1980s, two Canadian scientists who had the courage to forge ahead challenged the first time to solve the contradictory method of solving the energy-saving and durability of insulated glass, namely the super spacer, which caused a revolution in the field of insulated glass. The super spacer strip is a continuous spacer strip of silicone microporous structure material containing no metal and containing 3A molecular sieves. Its characteristic is that the thermal conductivity is the smallest, which can greatly increase the temperature of the peripheral edge of the insulated glass, and achieve 40% of the energy-saving effect of the low e glass, and greatly reduce the condensation degree of the periphery of the glass. The use of super spacer for the production of double glazed units uses a reverse double-pass sealing method, which gives the double glazed units excellent durability and sealing life for more than 100 years. According to the case of double glazed units made of super spacer strips in North America, the double glazed units made of super spacer not only has good energy efficient performance, but also minimizes the problem of after-sales service (complaint) due to its excellent durability and sealing life. . In North America, manufacturers give end 20 years warranty for super spacer insulated glass while other manufacturers offer only 5 to 15 years for normal insulated glass, Currently, in many spacer systems, the super spacer strip is the only spacer that enables the insulated glass to maintain optimum energy conservation for a long period of time during use.

(1) Glass coating: 1) float glass 2) hard coated reflective glass 3) soft coated  reflective glass 4) hard coated low e 5)offline low e coated glass. the energy-efficient effect of the coating is increased due to the different ability of the coating to control light (energy). (2) According to the glass structure, it can be divided into the following categories: 1) single glazing 2) double glazed glass units 3) triple glazed glass. The heat transfer coefficient is sequentially reduced, that is, the energy efficient effect is sequentially enhanced. Through calculations and experimental data, it is usually shown that the heat transfer system of a single piece of glass The number U=5.8W/m2·K, the insulating glass (ordinary) U=2.3～3.2W/m2·K, and the low e coated double glazed units (argon filled) K=1.4～1.8W/m2· K. (3) In addition to the above methods, the glass can also be coated with an energy-efficient film to improve energy-efficient effects. Aluminum alloy heat insulation profile energy efficient method: In the window and curtain wall system, the aluminum alloy profile not only plays the role of supporting the keel, but also has a great influence on the energy efficient effect. Under normal circumstances, the aluminum alloy profile has a much smaller cross section than the glass area. For this reason, the heat conduction has a great influence on the energy efficient effect, thermal insulation profile is produced. According to the different processing methods of heat-dissipating aluminum profiles, it is divided into perfusion-type heat-dissipating aluminum profiles and cutting-edge heat-dissipating aluminum profiles. The common feature of these two forms of aluminum alloy heat-insulating profiles is that the aluminum materials on the inner and outer sides are separated by a separator of sufficient thermal conductivity with sufficient strength. Thereby reducing the heat transfer coefficient and increasing the thermal resistance value. Even in the hot summer, when the sun is exposed, the surface temperature of the outdoor part of the heat-dissipating profile usually reaches 35-85 ° C, while the indoor temperature can still be maintained at 24 ~ 28 ° C, effectively reducing the heat transferred to the room, Reduce the cost of refrigeration; in the cold winter, the temperature of the outdoor aluminum can be equivalent to the ambient temperature (generally -28 ~ -20 ° C) and the indoor aluminum can still reach 8 ~ 15 ° C, thereby reducing heat loss, efficient winter heating Costs to achieve energy efficient. Double (multi) layer structure system energy efficientmethod. The usual windows and glass curtain walls are generally single-layer structures in warm areas, while in cold or hot areas, multi-layer (double) windows or double-layer curtain walls/dynamic curtain walls can be used, taking advantage of the two-layer structure. Air layer (through the designed air layer), Reduce the total heat transfer coefficient of the system to achieve energy efficient purposes.

The transparency of the glass staircase gives people a sense of transparency and visual enlargement. It is especially suitable for small apartments.Compared with concrete and wooden stairs, the glass material is more novel and unique, which has a great decoration effect. concrete stairs VS Glass stairs Modern glass stairs glass combination: 21.52 / 25.52mm clear tempered laminated glass are typical glass combination used in modern glass stairs,sometimes triple laminated glass with over 30mm thickness is used to ensure the safety.The reason is,laminated glass is the best structural safety glass,the interlayer (PVB or SGP) bond the tempered glass together ,once any piece broken,the interlayer keep glass integrity and prevent glass collapse. SGP laminated glass made with Kuraray SentryGlas Plus has 5 times higher shearing strength than PVB.According to Kuraray’s glass post breakage test, SGP laminated glass,whether it’s 0.89 or 1.52mm SGP ,can hold 400kgs load after 2 piece glass were broken,while PVB laminated glass cannot withstand 100kgs load under same condition. post breakage test for laminated glass Actually 21.52mm PVB laminated glass is strong enough considering the home traffic and frequency. Learn more about glass combination used in lass stairs. Anti-Slip function of glass stairs Glass is very slippery especially when it’s wet.Glass processors will have physical or chemical acid etching process to make the glass surface uneven and become anti-slip glass.

It is not unreasonable for moru Glass to become celebrity. Because of its good hazy appearance,and the slimline visual effect. The biggest feature of Moru glass is the pattern with vertical stripes. Just like we wear striped clothes, the horizontal stripes make people looks fat, while the vertical stripes will extend the sense of vision and look thin. moru glass partition Applying Moru Glass in your house decoration can instantly stretch and expand the visual sense of the entire space, making the home bigger and the vision stretched. At the same time, the characteristics of glass make it not affect the lighting, with a little fuzzy feeling, like a distant landscape painting, which makes people feel hazy and a little distant, especially suitable for home use. The difference between moru glass and other glass. Despite moru glass, there are frosted glass, clear glass, and glass bricks that are more commonly used in home decoration. For your comparison, why moru glass is more likely to become celebrity than other glasses. Moru Glass VS frosted glass Frosted glass mainly include acid etched glass,sandblasted glass,silk screen glass through physical and chemical methods to make the glass diffused and frosted. Shortcomings of frosted glass: frosted glass has a finer texture and rarely has patterns on glass surface,frosted glass is mainly used in high privacy requirement areas,in terms of look and feel and transparency, it is not as good as moru glass. moru glass VS frosted glass Moru Glass VS clear glass Disadvantages of clear glass: compared with moru glass, it lacks privacy and hazy beauty. moru glass vs clear glass door Moru glass VS glass block Glass block,or we can call it glass bricks,is a kind of square glass boxes used in interior decoration,glass blocks are widely used in glass partitions,sometimes glass facade as well.The glass block are also frosted and work as a barrier for privacy. glass block partition-morn Disadvantages of glass bricks: the price is relatively high and the construction is complicated. If the partition of the glass brick is larger than 15 cm, a steel bar should be added in the middle to share the force. The built glass wall cannot be perforated, and it is relatively thick. In contrast, Moru Glass can be customized in size,and is much more practical in the decoration works. moru glass VS glass block Main applications of moru glass Moru glass has a wide range of applications, In fact,it is the most beautiful when used in the following four places, especially for partitions or cabinet doors, which is full of high-level sense. Moru glass partition Whether it’s between the porch and living room, living room and dining room, bedroom and cloakroom and other spaces, if you want to make a glass partition, but don’t know what material to use, it is very good to choose Moru glass. moru glass-application in glass partition Moru glass doors Moru glass is also very good-looking when used in cloakroom doors, balcony doors, bathroom doors, and kitchen doors,glass shower doors. It will not block the lighting, but will also have dim light transmission. The vertical stripes are visually extended and a little mysterious. moru glass doors-MORN-CHINA Glass cabinets and glass furniture In the past, you can’t see anything when the door of a custom cabinet is closed. You can consider using Moru glass when customizing the cabinet, which is dimly concealed and has a high-value appearance. moru glass-customized glass cabinets 4.Moru glass railings ,pool fence,glass balustrades The glass handrails,glass railings,glass pool fences made of Moru glass are also very beautiful, which will not affect the lighting. Moru  glass is matched with black handrails, which is especially suitable for modern, light luxury and Nordic style. glass railings-moru glass Actually despite moru glass,there’re many other patterned glass options that plays an important role in home decorations,for example aqualite,diamond,masterlite,and rain series.All these patterned glass has uneven glass surface and through allow light diffusing when light is reflected on glass surface,so patterned glass it self is not only a kind of frosted glass,but also decorative glass products in your home improvement. Jinjing glass patterned glass options These patterned glass are made by Qingdao Jinjing glass,unlucky for covid-19 reason,the huge requirement made the patterned glass supply very difficult,but Moru glass, as it’s quite popular worldwide,still available in Morn.

At the same time, with the gradual improvement of building energy-saving standards and the promotion and application of passive buildings, the requirements for the energy-saving characteristics of insulating glass are gradually increasing. Low-E glass is widely used, and the insulating glass is filled with inert gases such as argon and krypton,more and more warm edge spacer is used to replace traditional aluminium spacer. In previous posts,we introduced the function of Argon and warm edge spacer in double glass units. How argon content affect double glass unit performance Argon filled insulating glass VS warm edge spacer insulating glass Here we introduce new generation TPS insulating glass. What’s TPS insulating glass? TPS is short for THERMO PLASTICS PACER. TPS is a new type of insulating glass warm-edge system, which uses special butyl rubber as auxiliary material and is filled with thermoplastic spacers of desiccant which Can perfectly replace traditional aluminum spacers. TPS is not a new technology. It was first invented and put into commercial application by the German Kommerling Group. The first insulating glass using TPS technology was born in 1974, Dalian Huaying introduced China’s first TPS insulating glass production line in 2010, realizing the integration of China’s insulating glass warm edge technology with the world. TPS IGU structure Features of TPS insulating glass (1) TPS thermoplastic spacers do not contain metal inserts, which improves the thermal barrier of the glass edge; (2) Have a more even surface temperature distribution on the inner and outer glass surfaces effectively reducing condensation; (3) Elastic edge sealing makes the glass design more flexible and convenient, which guarantee the IGU quality and stability. (4) Automatic production,High quality control, longer life; (5) The secondary sealant can be silicone or polysulfide sealant. Let analysis the TPS insulating glass,why it’s new generation? shaped insulated glass production with TPS Excellent thermal conductivity. The edge sealing materials of insulating glass include aluminum spacer, steel and stainless steel materials, organic silicon materials, etc. Due to the different thermal conductivity of the materials, the heat conduction formed at glass edge is also very different. Below table shows shows the thermal conductivity of different types of materials used in insulating glass. IGU spacer materialsThermal conductivity Aluminium160 Steel50 Stainless steel17 Glass1 TPS0.3 Thermoplastic spacers (TPS) abandon the aluminum, stainless steel and other metals with good heat transfer,The linear thermal conductivity of insulating glass made of TPS is much lower than that of traditional products, which prevents heat loss at glass edge. Thereby improving the energy-saving effect of the whole window. Windows U value calculation TPS has better heat barrier properties than aluminum IGU. It can significantly increase the air temperature near the window and reduce the indoor temperature difference. It also has stable indoor climate, lower air convection, a more comfortable indoor environment, and reduces condensation on the edge of the glass.,reducing the maintenance cost of the window frame. Indoor and glass surface temperature compare Low Vapor &Air transmission rate TPS are directly extruded with special butyl rubber mixed desiccant, and the consistency of the sealing material is good. At the same time, because the TPS can also form an intimate chemical bond with secondary silicon sealant, the IGU structure is more stable with higher bonding strength. Table 2 shows the water vapor and gas permeability of different sealing materials. It can be seen that butyl rubber have better water vapor and gas barrier properties than silicone and polysulfide . MaterialAir transmission-g/(m²24h)Vapor transmission-g/(m²24h) Polysulfide 0.03-0.15-10 Silicon ≥2015-20 Butyl0.002-0.005≤0.9 According to the GB11944-2012 test, TPS IGU system has the lowest argon leakage rate,the test kept 5 cycles * 77days test and result is below,argon content decreased by around 4% after 5 cycles weather simulation,lifetime is much better than current other insulating glass systems.

TPS insulating glass system is produced by fully automatic machines. From glass handle and loading, the removal of the glass edge coating, the cleaning and drying, the placing of the thermoplastic strip, the argon filling,and glass bonding, and secondary sealant are produced by an automated system. Avoiding errors and inconsistencies that may be caused by manual operation, achieving a high degree of uniformity of corner sealing, completely eliminating the poor corner sealing of traditional aluminum insulating glass, and suitable for producing TPS IGU any type and size. 4.Perfect sealing performance,acoustic performance The good mechanical properties and peel strength of TPS ensure the edge sealing performance under positive and negative pressure. The elasticity of TPS thermoplastic spacers ensures that it can be applied to frequent changes in external temperature and wind pressure, and has good anti-resonance and sound insulation properties. Aluminium spacer IGU will lose sealing effect under imbalance air pressure TPS stripe is suitable for frequently changed temperature and pressure   TPS can not only maintain the IGU sealing performance, it can also withstand long-term strong squeezing without losing the sealing performance. Thermoplastic spacers (TPS) is a new generation of insulating glass edge sealing materials. This insulating glass system can increase the sealing life of insulating glass and improve the edge effect of insulating glass. It should be promoted vigorously. However, at present, both the materials and fully automatic production equipment need imported, and the price is one of the main reasons restricting the promotion and application of TPS insulating glass. TPS insulated glass production line-Bystronic In China,there’re several TPS insulating glass manufacturers,such as Dalian Huaying,Linyi CNG,Baoding Dahan glass etc.With the increased requirement of passive houses and stricter energy saving demand, TPS will finally replace traditional aluminium ones,it will become the final element that can be upgraded in IGU system.

But the racks has about 6°- 7°inclination angles to make sure that glass don’t fall down,but if glass panels are big and heavy? For the inclination angle reason, the out piece of DGU will fall because of gravity,thus will cause 1-2mm overlap between DGU outer and inner piece. IGU will deform on racks To ensure the same horizontal flatness and control overlap,some glass fabricator use below racks to store DGU. The rack bottom is flat,DGU will be separated with steel bars. China Morn Building Materials-Your Turnkey Architectural Glass Partner IGU glass storage #### Northglass produced 23M world record SGP laminated glass On April 15, NorthGlass Tianjin Glass Co., Ltd. officially released a 23 meter world record glass , 6-layer 12mm low iron tempered Sentryglas laminated glass PMU sample (performance test sample). The birth of this piece of glass once again established the industry benchmark status of NorthGlass “super glass”. Tianjin Northglass produced 23M ultra long SGP laminated glass In 2008, NorthGlass developed a super flat bending tempered equipment with brand-new technology, and applied the bending tempered glass with a height of 12.8 meters to the Apple Asia flagship store in Lujiazui, Shanghai, which shocked the world. J Since then, the China super-large-scale curtain wall glass industry has developed quite fast, and a new era has begun. Processing of ultra long glass Subsequently, NorthGlass constantly refreshed its own records, 16.5 meters, 17.3 meters, 17.5 meters, and created the Guinness World Records. People’s exploration of high-quality buildings in the future has become the driving force of NorthGlass. With a strong innovative technical team and the ultimate pursuit of glass technology, the super glass with a length of 23 meters was born. Float glass purchasing,handling and installation of super long glass is challenging NorthGlass’ 23-meter “super glass” is extremely challenging in all aspects from the float glass procurement, processing, and later transportation and installation, and there is no precedent for reference. Every process is a “creation”. Its birth satisfies the ultimate pursuit of design, thus endows the building with new vitality, expands the boundary between indoor and outdoor, and integrates the building and the environment. Northglass world recod 23M long glass is successfully produced in China #### Oversized laminated glass applied in Apple store If you think that iPhone and mac book are the most valuable things in the Apple store, then you are wrong!On the contrary, the mobile phone on the shelf is the cheapest.The oversized laminated glass,are usually the most expensive investment of the apple store. The Apple Store is another important legacy that Jobs left behind at Apple. Now it is not only a symbol of a city’s prosperity, but also the most profitable offline retail store. How did this happen?                                                       Oversized laminated glass applied in Apple store At the beginning, Apple did not have its own independent store, but “resident” in a large electronic retail store like Best Buy.In the era when windows dominated the world, Apple’s booths were always arranged in the corners. They were expensive and not well-known, so naturally they were even more unpopular. But Jobs was not convinced. In order to allow customers to better experience the difference between mac and windows, in 2001, Apple opened its first retail store. But the following built apple store use large scale glass panels and the glass used became bigger and bigger,why? The architectural design propose of Apple Store What does “Future Technology Sense” look like? The imagination of most of us comes from science fiction movies: the future city with highly developed technology has two very different styles, one is the chaotic and dirty dystopian industrial city, and the other is the spotless and simple city. As a mainstream international company, Apple will of course choose the latter. All of their flagship stores are in an almost minimalist modern style. The style of Apple’s flagship store is minimalist, clean and modern. With the application of jumbo size laminated glass,Apple’s store facade is more transparent and open, and it feels “clean”, and you can see the inside at a glance; although the glass is used to separate the entities, it really blurs the boundary between the inner and outer spaces. The all glass facade with structural glass solutions will offer more transparent interior areas. Apple store glass is becoming bigger and bigger In the past decades when laminated glass processing capability was limited and cannot make oversized laminated glass,Apple store used smaller glass,with the development of glass technology,new bigger and thicker glass are used and make the modern style more obvious. In addition to the material, the size of the glass division and the structural system of the combination method are also very important. The technical craftsmanship of different eras also have a great influence on the visual effect. Glass used in Apple Store Watford (UK) is oversized  low iron heat strengthened laminated glass ,size is 6082*2500mm. In 2006, when the flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York was just opened, although Apple had achieved the ultimate in transparency and color of glass, due to the technical limitations of the curtain wall glass and structure at that time, it was impossible to make such a large and complete glass. Glass can only be divided to a certain extent; the structure is also more complicated and exposed. After being refurbished in 2011, this Apple Store only used 3 pieces of glass on each side, and adopted seamless connection technology.The glass height used in this project is 9800mm. The store in Shanghai used curved laminated glass,the glass combination is 12 +1.52SGP+12+1.52SGP+15+1.52SGP+ 12 +1.52SGP+12, 5 layer low iron curved tempered glass,sizes reach 12800*2600mm and glass radius is 5000mm.This extremely big curved glass can be finished by only 1-3 glass factories and Apple used the most advanced glass processing technology. The largest store in Asia Hangzhou ,built in 2015, the glass height reach 15000mm.Unit glass price over USD150,000.Moreover, there are no columns on the ground, and there are only 11 glass panels on the façade, each with a width of about 3 meters, from the ground to the ceiling without any gaps. As for choosing 11 pieces of glass instead of 9 or 12 pieces, it is to ensure that Apple’s LOGO can be placed on a complete piece of glass in the center; while ensuring that the use area is sufficient, the entire building ratio is about 1:2.Modern architecture pays more attention to practicality, standardization and visual personality, so it will not deliberately pursue the golden ratio. Instead, 1:2 is a more economical and suitable ratio for commercial spaces. Apple chose to divide the suspended ceiling vertically, 11 pieces, and the seams between each piece corresponded to the division of the facade one-to-one, visually extending from the facade to the interior, increasing the sense of depth and rhythm of the interior space . So we can get below summary of apple store design and location: First, the appearance of buildings piled up with money, such as the patented glass curtain wall; Second, occupy the core position of urban landmarks; finally, The design priority is adjusted to the highest, and the cost and everything have to be leaned back.the simple, stylish and uniform decoration is still the highest standard. Other technology companies,are also simulated Apple’s idea when designing and building their stores: The application of jumbo laminated glass,means high costs,both in construction and maintenance. How expensive the glass is used in Apple store? In 2007,the built of Beijing apple store,unit piece glass price was USD30000/PCS.thanks god that the glass was made in China,if glass made in German or Janpan,price will be 2-3 times higher. As we mentioned before the glass used in 5 Avenue (NY) ,was replaced from 90pcs to only 15pcs,costs was USD6.7 million.Unit glass price is USD450,000. Apple hired Glass Polish Ltd., a British glass polishing company, to maintain the glass. The company said that sometimes Apple will leave the work to them without even asking for the price, as long as they are in a perfect state at all times. before the opening of the Covent Garden Apple retail store in the UK, they maintained the glass of the store. At that time, the glass was damaged during the construction process, and it cost $41,000 to replace the glass, but it only cost $8,500 when it was completed by them. They also cleaned up graffiti on a $15,000 glass at the Apple Store in Higuera Street, California. Before the opening of the Ridge Hill Apple Store in New York in 2012, Apple also needed a large-scale maintenance of the glass in the store.     Why the glass is so expensive? The main reasons for the high price is the laminated glass size and thickness. Typical jumbo glass used in modern all glass facade The main glass used are low iron tempered glass. The low iron glass(or ultra clear glass) is relative to normal clear glass. The color of pure glass should be colorless and transparent like white crystal (the main components of both are silica), due to impurities in the glass ( iron inside will cause the color of the  glass to be greenish. The so-called ultra clear glass is to use some method to reduce the iron content in the glass so that the color of the glass is close to transparent and colorless. Its price is several times more expensive than normal clear glass. Low-iron-glass-VS-clear-glass Ultra long sizes: Typical standard glass panels are 2440 *3660mm, and glass manufacturers produce bigger panels ,for example 4580*3300mm, 4880*3300mm.For special application,especially Auto 4S stores, the hotel lobby which size over 5000mm,need to customized and produce specially.With the development of glass producing technology,glass manufacturers is able to produce 20 meters ultra long glass. As glass is fragile materials, ultra long glass means glass easier to get damaged or broken,whether it’s during logistics,handling,processing, this will cause price increase. Ultra thick glass panels: The ultra long glass panels for all glass facade means glass cannot be hanged but to be installed on the ground and rely on the glass itself to withstand its self weight ,as well as the huge wind load.The longer glass,the bigger risks,glass breakage will cause disasters ,especially in the city center areas.To ensure the glass safety,the glass must be made into multi layer SGP laminated glass. The tearing strength of SGP interlayer is 5 times higher than PVB film,even if the glass breaks,the SGP can also stick the glass and form a temporary structure while keeping small bending deformation,it can withstand a certain amount of load and whole piece laminated glass won’t fall or deform.SGP interlayer has good edge stability, and low water content.The film is translucent and has good weather resistance,after years installation and application,the SGP film will keep translucent and won’t change to yellow color.The SGP yellowing coefficient is less than 1.5 while the PVB interlayer ones is 6-12,so SGP laminated glass is widely used in low iron laminated glass. Multi layer SGP laminated glass will Maximum keep the glass safety and offering the most clear appearance. High processing difficulty:The ultra long and ultra thick laminated glass means high processing capability, unit piece glass areas varies from 10sqm- 40sqm per piece,to ensure the 40sqm multi layer laminated glass perfect is really difficult and challenging works for every factory. Every small problem may cause the processing failed,for example glass edge problems, dusts and bubbles after laminating process,glass flatness problem,and potential breakage during transportation and installation. Lucily, with new advanced glass processing equipment,China Morn now is able to supply jumbo laminated glass for special glass application,our processing capability is: Tempered glass: Max Size:13000 *3300mm. Laminated glass:Max Size:13000 *3300mm. Insulated glass:Max Size:13000 *3300mm. Curved glass: Max size 5000*2700mm.

For such applications post breakage strength of laminated glass construction is of utmost importance. Laminated glass has a significant improvement in the post breakage strength over a monolithic layer of glass, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayers so that a certain remaining structural capacity is obtained as the glass fragments ‘arch’ or lock in place. This capacity depends on the fragmentation of the glass and increases with increasing fragment size. Therefore, laminated glass elements would typically achieve a particularly high remaining structural capacity when made from annealed or heat strengthened glass that breaks into large fragments. The post breakage behavior furthermore depends on the interlayer material. No matter EN14449, American standards of other laminated glass standards only contains several limited tests,sUch as high temperature test,appearance,ball drop test and impact test.While when glass are used in glass skylight,the glass loading capability and sustain capability after breakage cannot be measured. Post breakage strength is significantly affected by the breakage pattern of the glass layers, support conditions, and temperature. Breakage pattern of glass can be a big variable even for the same type of glass and this makes analytical modeling of its post breakage strength a near impossible task. Thus engineers have to rely on destructive testing for this. Post breakage strength can be categorized as follows. Immediate Post Breakage Strength against “fall through” Medium Duration Post Breakage Strength Testing (More than 30 Mins. As per pr DIN 18008 – 61) Around the world,there’s only one test and standard that can test the post breakage strength of overhead laminated glass: DIN18008-6: Glass In Building – Design And Construction Rules – Part 6 Additional Requirements For Walk-on Glaz,. Mr I. Stelzer  a & M. Singh Rooprai from Kuraray Europe Gmbh conducted the tests for several kinds of laminated glass:PVB laminated glass,EVA laminated glass,SGP laminated glass and stiff PVB laminated glass to show the glass sustain capability. overhead laminated glass is usually made with SGP laminated glass,it has high strength,high sustain capabily after breakage,here to test the post breakage strength   This will help overhead glazed laminated glass,for example,glass floor, glass skylight,glass walkway,glass bridge etc to better understand and decide what kinds of laminated glass shall be used. The test got below conclusions:        1.At -20°C, laminates made from the 4 interlayer candidates i.e 0.89 mm Ionomer , 1.52 mm Ionomer, mm Standard PVB, 1.52 Stiff PVB pass the post breakage strength requirements of the new German Standard pr DIN 18008 – 6.         At -20°C, all 4 candidates had their ultimate strength more than 400 Kg as there was no collapse of the panel due to tearing of the interlayer at rotules. At +21°C, Ionomer and Stiff PVB laminates pass the post breakage strength requirements of DIN 18008 –6 but Standard PVB laminate does not (for this type of construction). At +21°C, 0.89 mm & 1.52mm Ionomer laminate had almost similar post breakage strength till about 45 minutes from the breakage. For tropical climate regions where the ambient temperature is more than +45°C, Ionomer interlayer laminates meet and exceed the requirements of pr DIN 18008- 6 Standard. Further testing and research will be conducted to get a better understanding of the post glass breakage behavior of laminated glass and to develop appropriate design methods. Stiff PVB products,cannot replace SGP interlayer when used in high temperature areas.See our posts: SGP laminated glass VS DG41 laminated glass Please download the detailed test procedure and test result here: Post-Breakage-Strength-Testing-DIN-18008-6-Glass-In-Building—Design-And-Construction-Rules—Part-6-Additional-Requirements-For-Walk-on-Glaz Morn also got all the test videos,welcome contact us to get related info.

Of course, wired glass is also a kind of safety glass because of its enhanced fire rating performance, but this glass product has become less popular recent years as more new and advanced products have being popular in the market. These safety glass products are all well known for offering tried and tested protection and they all have their individual advantages to safety. Toughened glass strength is 4-5 stronger than float glass. It is also thermally stronger, and when broken, will shatter in its entirety into small and relatively harmless fragments. but, once a sheet of glass has been toughened, or tempering process, it cannot be cut orperforated again. several kinds of projects where laminated glass should be used.Shop fronts and external glass doors,Glass floors,Overhead glazing,LCD glass partitions Laminated safety glass contains a plastic inner layer, which firmly bond the two outer pieces of glass once glass is broken. Toughened glass is often specified before specifiing laminated glass because of cheaper price. However, there are several kinds of projects where laminated glass should be the preferred option. Shop fronts and external glass doors For commercial applications, such as shops fronts or offices, which will not be used at night ,it’s a good idea to use laminated glass for any external windows or doors. Laminated glass will ensure that the glass will remain anchored in the glazing system and your building will remain safe until the glass can be replaced. Overhead glazing Safety glass must be used for all overhead glazing, which includes all overhead projects such as skylights, glass canopies and ceilings, glass balustrades, glass facades and glass spandrels. Any overhead glazing higher than 13m above the ground must be laminated glass because, should overhead toughened glass shatter for any reason, the resultant small fragments falling from 13m or higher places can cause serious injury to anyone unlucky enough to be standing underneath. several kinds of projects where laminated glass should be used.Shop fronts and external glass doors,Glass floors,Overhead glazing,LCD glass partitions Glass floors Glass floors is also some overhead projects,it will always be constructed of laminated glass. The glass will also be either toughened or heat strengthened. Heat strengthened glass is not safety glass, but is twice stronger than annealed glass. once it’s broken, it is both cheaper to replace than fully tempered glass and the glass won’t shatter into fragments,the larger glass will hold in their frame better than toughened glass. LCD glass partitions LCD glass partitions are a specialist partition formed in a laminated glass that includes an opaque LCD film sandwiched between at least two plastic laminate inner layers. This film can be electrically operated by uniformly distributed transformers, which when switched on will turn the layer transparent.

We all want to do our best to ensure that our loved house and people are safe.Using security glass in your home. is very good and smart measurement to improve your home security,Why? What is Security Glass and how is it Made? Security Glass, also known as toughened or heat-strengthened glass ,laminated glass is also typical safety glass.It is a special modern, and innovative glass specifically designed for safety and security purposes. Security glass is  3-5 times more durable and stronger than normal float or annealed glass ,it can handle tremendous external pressure  and once broken ,it will shatter to pieces and avoid injury,that’s the main reason security glass qualifies “security” glass.  Normal float glass will shatter into dagger-like pieces that pose a serious threat to people. So, how is security glass manufactured? Process of toughened glass which involves alternative rapid cooling and heating of float glass,heating the float glass to 670-710 degree and cooling it rapidly with wind. The advantages of Security Glass Provides Safety and Security The tempered glass is 3-5 times tougher than the float glass and can be used for safety and security purposes. Even if the glass broken, it will break into cube-like pieces incapable of causing any serious injuries. Flexibility and Versatility Glass is highly customisable and can be used in a variety of different areas depending on your unique requirements. You can use frosted security glass for better privacy or even colour-tinted frosted security glass to fulfil both your privacy needs. Thermal Resistance compared to normal annealed glass,tempered glass is also three times more resistant to thermal stress . It can easily resist temperature changes of up to 200°C as and annealed glass can only resist up to 100°C. glass-railing-and-glass-staircase The Many Applications of Security Glass for Your Home Windows and Doors The windows and doors protect you and your family and hence need to be strong and durable and precent burglar and thief. The strength and durability of heat-strengthened glass and tempered glass cannot be easily broken making your home burglar-resistant. Glass Staircases When it comes to staircase railings, ramps, which need to support body weight consistently! The security glass’ strength and impact-resistance comes to advantage. Using security glass for your house stairs and railings will not only be a secure option but will also render a lighter and more aesthetically pleasing look to your living space. Home Furniture Security glass can be used in table tops, kitchen cabinets, and other home furniture for rendering safety, especially when children are involved. the glass is also scratch and damage resistant, it can remain fresh-looking for longer periods without tedious maintenance. Bathrooms or shower doors Since bathrooms are generally wet areas highly prone to slip and fall mishaps, it is always safer to use security glass instead of normal annealed glass as it breaks into blunt pebble-like pieces that will not lead to injury.

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), studies have shown that compared with 20-25 years ago, the wind speed of hurricanes has increased by 5%, which entrained more water vapor. At the same time, on coastlines prone to hurricanes, both population and property values are rising-this will make costly natural disasters more frequent. In the United States alone, there was a loss of 15 billion U.S. dollars in 2016; in 1980, this figure was only 300 million U.S. dollars (inflation-adjusted figure). After gaining attention after Hurricane Andrew destroyed the southeastern United States in 1992,Florida law finally stipulates that any house built after 2001 should be constructed with hurricane-resistant windows or hurricane proof shutters.Miami-Dade certificate was also launched to prove the windows&glass rationality in Dade county. hurricane in USA How the hurricane cause damages to your house? The hurricane can cause damages through 2 ways: The hurricane can be classified into 5 levels: Level 1: 119-153km/h Level 2: 154-177km/h Level 3: 178-209km/h Level 4: 210-249km/h Level 5: >249km/h The hurricane always brings huge wind speed and wind pressure,which rip shingles, boards and insulation off roofs, quickly exposing your home to the elements,beside that,everything that exposed outside can be involved in the wind and hit the glass. hurricane destroy glass-morn Once the glass broken,the glass fragments become projectiles that can hurt people in the vicinity. Damages after the windows pull out or falling down. Not only the glass fragments after broken,if the windows frame is not strong enough,the windows itself can be ripped and the barrier between interior and exterior is eliminated.The wind go directly inside the room and destroy everything inside. These vulnerabilities allow water to seep into your home, causing immediate and long-lasting damage to your property and belongings. hurricane destroy-in China What’s hurricane proof glass? Heat treated monolithic glass cannot be used as hurricane proof glass,even through tempered glass strength is 3-5 times higher than normal float glass,but as it can be break into fragment after broken,the fragment will cause further injury to people when the hurricane comes with big storm and wind. tempered glass breakage -hurricane proof glass So the hurricane proof glass must meet several requirement: High strength and Difficult to break. Glass keep integrity and not be penetrated after breaking. For hurricane windows,the glass and window frame must be fixed and won’t fall in the wind.Thus hurricane proof glass can be classified into 3 types: PVB laminated glass. Of course the PVB laminated glass here is tempered laminated glass with polyvinyl butyral.Tempered glass itself has high strength and even one piece broken in the hurricane,the interlayer can keep the glass overall integrity,meanwhile work as a barrier to prevent the inner piece glass been impacted .The PVB interlayer also prevent the glass been penetrated. SGP laminated glass. PVB laminated glass will collapse once the 2 piece glass all broken,the PVB  interlayer is soft and has low shearing modulus,cannot hold the broken glass. SGP laminated glass has high strength.SGP laminated glass bearing capability is 2 times that of PVB laminated glass,but the bending deflection of SGP laminated is only 1/4 of PVB laminated glass under the same thickness and load condition. The tearing strength of SGP interlayer is 5 times higher than PVB film,even if the glass breaks,the SGP can also stick the glass and form a temporary structure while keeping small bending deformation,it can withstand a certain amount of load and whole piece laminated glass won’t fall or deform. Laminated glass processed with SGP interlayer film can effectively block damage to buildings when a hurricane strikes. it can greatly improve the impact resistance of safety glass. Performance, anti-theft, anti-riot performance and anti-disaster performance. Learn more:PVB Laminated glass VS SGP laminated glass Polycarbonate laminated glass. PC board is not easy to break, and its compressive strength is 250 times that of float glass, and it is 50-100 times stronger than that of tempered laminated glass. Even if it is hit with a hammer, there is no risk of breakage. The total area of the enterprise can accept a crash compressive strength of 91kgf-cm/cm, and a tensile strength of 739kgf/cm^2. Polycarbonate laminated glass are usually used as anti intrusion glass,and bulletproof glass,so it has the highest strength against hurricane,but its price is extremely high. Below video offered by Rizhao Fangding which shows the excellent safety performance of PC laminated glass. Hurricane proof glass costs PVB Tempered laminated glass: Typically laminated glass combination is 10+1.52PVB+10 ,now exw price is about USD50/SQM. Thicker glass and PVB interlayer will cause higher price. SGP laminated glass: It depend on the SGP interlayer thickness, 6+0.89SGP+6 exw price is USD65/SQM,while 6+1.52SGP+6 exw price is USD95/SQM. PC laminated glass:the extra costs is PC board price, usually USD30-50/SQM higher than same combination glass without PC board. Despite simple laminated glass ,the hurricane resistant glass also can be made into laminated insulated glass to increase the glass thermal insulation performance.All kinds of low e coatings,warm edge spacer,argon can also be added to further decrease the glass U value. Hurricane resistant glass can not only been used in glass curtain wall,glass skylight,railings,windows&doors,but also used as structural glass applications,for example glass stairs,floors,glass bridge,and special glass for its awesome safety performance:Bulletproof glass,anti-intrusion glass etc. Windows frames requirement for hurricane resistant windows The glass is only part of hurricane proof windows,the combination of glass and the frame is your good protector against the storms.The windows water tightness,air tightness and wind resistance are the most important points. Water tightness: when the doors and windows face the storm, they can still keep the interior dry, and there is no trouble of water leakage. Among the doors and windows of various materials, aluminum alloy doors and windows have better water tightness. watertightness of hurricane proof window Wind resistance:If a high-impact force can knock glass out of its fitting, then rain, wind, and debris will enter through the frame space. In extreme cases, your entire window could be pushed through, letting Mother Nature directly into your home mid-storm. Heavy duty framing and strong enough installation is the most important factor protecting your property,so identify and selecting the right hurricane windows manufacturer and supplier is essential ,especially when the windows costs is extremely high. Another point to consider is the surface treatment of your windows frames,seashore airs always contains salt and other component that cause corrosion on your frame and decrease it’s strength,and affect the appearance. hurricane proof folding doors-morn Morn is your turnkey hurricane proof glass manufacturer and supplier in China,if you got any hurricane proof glass requirement,contact us,let’s work together to protect your house. #### PVB Laminated glass VS SGP laminated glass PVB Laminated glass VS SGP laminated glass Laminated glass was generally made of PVB film; since PVB film was originally developed for automotive glass rather than for the building curtain wall industry, it has been used for many years in the construction industry, has a wide range of uses and achieved good safety results. However, due to the flexibility, softness and small shear modulus of PVB film, the two glasses will have relative slip, load capacity and bending deformation after being stressed,it is prone to yellowing, so PVB film laminated glass can be used for general glass curtain walls and is not suitable for high-performance glass curtain walls. SGP-LAMINATED-GLASS-MANUFACTURER-MORN   The shear modulus of the ion film SGP is more than 50 times that of PVB and 5 times tearing strength than that of the PVB. When the laminated glass produced by the SGP interlayer is stressed, there is almost no slip between the two glasses; The piece of glass is like a piece of glass, and its bearing capacity is twice that of PVB laminated glass. Under the same load and the same thickness, the bending of SGP laminated glass is only 1/4 of that of PVB laminated glass. SGP-INTERLAYER–MORN-BUILDING-MATERIALS   Compared with laminated glass produced by PVB, the performance of laminated glass produced by SGP film is superior because of the following properties; https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/PVB-LAMI-VS-SGP-LAMINATED-GLASS.mp4 1. It has high bonding ability to glass and strong tear strength, which can prevent the glass from breaking and scattering. 2. It has strong protective ability, can prevent natural disasters and human damage, and has sufficient resistance to strong winds, earthquakes, violence, theft, etc. 3. It can withstand the sudden impact of indoor personnel, prevent the glass from scattering or the whole out, and avoid indoor people and articles flying out and falling. 4. There is enough residual bearing capacity, and the whole piece will not fall off when the glass breaks and then bends. 5. SGP film has sufficient shear modulus to bend the entire section of the laminated glass, improve the bearing capacity and bending rigidity of the glass, and reduce the glass thickness and glass weight. 6. Can withstand the effects of ultraviolet light, water vapor and external climate change, long-term use will not appear yellowing discoloration.

Download this article here:PVB-Laminated-glass-VS-SGP-laminated-glass #### PVB thickness for facade laminated glass These days one of our customer asked price for 3.2+2.28PVB+3.2MM clear laminated glass,but we suggest changing the glass combination to 4+0.76 Trosifol PVB+4mm for below reasons: 1.According to research,because PVB is soft materials,the thicker interlayer used in laminated glass,the inferior tensile bonding strength and shear bonding strength. PVB thickness affect glass bonding strength Multi layer PVB won’t help much in acoustic performan Glass thickness is the most important factor deciding the final soundproof performance,but not PVB thickness. Here is a result from Guardian Acoustic calculator: GlassSTCOITC 33.1 -6.38 LAMI3228 33.4 -7.52 LAMI3228 44.2 -8.76 LAMI3432 33.4 -7.52 Acoustic PVB LAMI3630 44.2 -8.76 Acoustic PVB LAMI3832 More info can be found: https://glassanalytics.guardian.com/acoustics-calculator 3.Multi layer PVB result in higher price. Even though most factories use China brand  PVB,but 6 layers PVB price is about 3 layers international brand. 4.Bad Quality. As glass processor,I have to say,most China PVB brand cannot pass the boiling water test. For international certificate apply and test,factory will use Saflex or Trosifol and prepare samples specifically. For bulk orders,it’s hard to pass the test if you test the pieces cut from bulk orders. Meanwhile more PVB means more yellow color…. laminated glass production -China Morn Our suggestion,is to change to 4+0.76 Trosifol +4,total thickness is 8.76mm,almost equivalent to original glass,but you’ll have extra benefit: 1.Cheaper price than 6 layers China PVB ones. 2.More reliable quality. 3.Extra clear color appearance. 4.Better shear bonging strength and tensile bonding strength. 5.Worry free after sales for superior quality. 2Dbs better soundproof performance. Many customers don’t know clearly the PVB thickness used in their projects,here we conclude and offer recommendation as below: colorful laminated glass used in glass facade_Mornglass Float glass laminated glass. The selection of PVB thickness for float glass laminated glass should follow below tables, bulletproof glass, glass for aquariums and multilayer laminated glass are excluded. Glass MakeupGlass ThicknessPVB thickness--Shorter side ≤800mmPVB thickness--Shorter side >800mm Float glass Laminated glass≤6mm0.380.38 8mm0.380.76 10mm0.760.76 12mm1.141.14 15,19mm1.521.52 Even though float glass is quite flat ,0.38mm and even 0.25mm PVB thickness is enough to bond glass together,but for thicker glass ,heavy weight&large panel require thicker PVB to get better bonding effect. Heat treated laminated glass- Flat. Heat treated glass products, due to the inevitable glass wave and bow deformation during the tempering process, the gap between the glass caused by this deformation will be filled by the PVB film.Especially when laminating coated glass,silk screen glass,or laminating unequal thickness glass ,the glass overall bow will be more obvious and require thicker PVB. Glass MakeupGlass ThicknessPVB thickness--Shorter side ≤800mmPVB thickness--Shorter side 800mm-1500mmPVB thickness--Shorter side >1500mm Heat treated glass Laminated glass≤6mm0.761.141.52 8-12mm1.141.521.52 ≥15mm1.522.282.28 Remark: In order to ensure that the glass don’thave edge degumming or bubbles during the warranty period, and to ensure the safety performance of the glass, avoid potential safety hazards and future losses, the selection of PVB film should be strict. B.It’s not suggested to use glass combination When the thickness of the two pieces of glass differs by more than 3mm,extra 0.38mm PVB should be added based on above table. For special-shaped tempered and heat-strengthened laminated glass, the thickness of PVB must be increased by 0.38mm because of the greater deformation at the edge of shaped glass. When the glass height and widthare both greater than 800mm and the ratio is close to 1, it is difficult to control the glass waveform, greater deformation will occur , The thickness of PVB must be increased by 0.38mm. PVB laminated glass production Curved heat treated glass,hot bending glass. Curved tempered laminated glass is increasingly used in construction because of its unique structure and good safety performance, but it also brings many problems. Many bent and tempered laminated glass has edge cracking and bubbles shortly after installation, which brought huge losses to both manufacturers and owners. Curved heat treated glass has a curvature due to the glass itself, the curvature error and the existence of tempering deformation determine that the thickness of the PVB film in the middle is thicker than that of ordinary laminated glass, and its minimum thickness is 2.28mm.

Dis-placement occurs between the two inner surfaces, which are in direct contact with each other. This is because one of the two surfaces is being stretched while the other is being compressed. If both sheets are laminated with an adhesive polymer interlayer,this must be able to internally compensatefor the distortional differences (i.e. absorbshear forces). For designers of architectural glazing, it is therefore important to assess the likeli-hood of achieving full design load at the design temperature and load duration. How can structural designers ensure that the specified laminated safety glass interlayer is capable of meeting the design specification and building codes? The appropriate elastic property values need to be selected for thedesign case and assigned to an effective elastic interlayer. The shear modulus describes the material’s response to shearing strains. long-term loads. As a result, two glass sheets laminated together using PVB – and exposed to a long-term flexural load – behave in ex- actly the same way as two sheets that have not been joined together.The shear modulus of polyvinylbutyral (PVB) materials varies to a great extent, e.g. 1 – 400 MPa, over the temperatures and durations encountered for glass laminates in a building.

Modern glass structure development was also been promoted by the glass production &processing technology,and new interlayers developed these years.   Glass production &processing technology.   In 2005, the 1st piece low iron glass was produced in Jinjing group,. In 2007,Jinjing group produced 7000*3660*19mm low iron float glass. In May,2011, CSG produced the ultra long low iron glass 16000*3300mm,the glass was applied in Hongkong apple store. Following that low iron glass Max size reached 18000*3660mm in China. Clear float glass,from normal 4280/4580/4880*3300, to 13000*3300, 18000*3300, to now 18000*4580mm. Matched glass processing equipment,including cutting,edging,tempering,laminating and insulating process equipment were also invented to fit the newest design idea. ultra long glass tempering and laminating production Structural interlayer development. Laminated glass is used for structural glass projects.When designing with PVB laminated glass,glass bearing capability and strength is equal to the sum of the bearing capacity or rigidity of each piece of glass; when using SGP film, the equivalent thickness of the laminated glass can be the overall laminated glass thickness, so its bearing capacity and rigidity are greatly improved. all glass curtain wall installation Sample Project: All glass curtain wall Facade panel:12+2.28SGP+12 Low-E+16A+12+2.28SGP+12 low iron tempered laminated insulated ,11780*1500mm. Glass fin:12+2.28SGP+12+2.28SGP+12 low iron tempered laminated glass,11790*500mm. Glass structure types: Glass structures are commonly used for panels, including wall panels and load-bearing floors. In addition, when used in the main load-bearing structure, there are beams, columns and frames. Glass beams:Glass beams are usually used as supporting structures for glass skylights.For safety reason, laminated glass must be used for the skylight panels and load-bearing beams. The laminated glass panel can be supported either peripherally or point support. Glass beams used in glass roofs Glass Fins. Modern glass fins are most widely used in point supported glass facade,especially when glass panels are ultra long and installed by top suspension support system.Multi layers laminated glass are used to increase the thickness of the glass, thereby increasing the width of the cross section of the glass fin. stainless steel to connect glass fins The upper and lower ends of the glass column are supported by hinges to withstand the dead weight, wind load and seismic force transmitted from the glass panel. The glass panel can be connected to the glass column by edge support or point support,Stainless steel plates can be used to connect several sections of glass columns into long columns. all kinds of glass fins used in glass curtain wall The large-area glass wall panels are supported by glass fins to form a transparent indoor space. In 2015, the all-glass lobby of Hangzhou Zheshang Fortune Center created the world’s tallest glass fin record, with a glass column height of 28m. The glass column is divided into 3 sections, which are installed, positioned and connected on site. The glass column total thickness of 104.1mm. 5 pieces of 19mm ultra-white tempered glass and 4 layers 2.25mm SGP high-strength interlayer. The three sections of glass fins are connected on-site with stainless steel plates and stainless steel bolts. hangzhou world record-28Meter height lobby Oversized glass facade panels Apple is the leader in applying oversized architectural glass panels on buildings,worldwide apple stores with glass boxes,glass structures used the world newest glass processing technology. For thermal insulation consideration,the facade panels are always combine with high performance low-E coatings and been made into laminated insulated glass. Hangzhou Apple store used 14500 height 3000 width glass panels Hongkong Apple store used 18000 height 3000 width glass panels 4.Column-free glass wall In 2015, Apple’s headquarters, which is shaped like a giant UFO was built in California, USA. The glass exterior wall adopts 14m X 3.3m ultra-large curved glass, toughened, insulating glass. The glass exterior wall is not supported by glass columns, and all the loads are borne by the glass panels alone. Apple headquarter in USA 5.Glass Frames Glass boxes is most seen in Apple stores,please check our previous post:Oversized laminated glass applied in Apple store to see the glass boxes,including the store in Fifth Avenus(New York), Round glass box (Shanghai). All-glass buildings require a transparent glass frame. The beam and column are subject to great stress, so multi-layer toughened laminated glass should be used. Glass can be connected with stainless steel hardware,or structural sealants. apple store in Shanghai-all glass structure APPLE STORE 6.Glass stairs In the glass building, the staircase naturally also adopts the glass structure. Laminated glass is used for the fence and pedals to ensure safety. The pedal is usually laminated with 3 pieces of glass, and the surface glass is usually anti-slip function to be realized with engraved surface.

As a part of fast growing China glass processing industry,Morn would like to share what we know with every designers and architects,we also manufacture and supply structural glass to achieve your creative structural glass projects. Download this article here:Rapid development of glass structures #### Safety Glass Safety Glass Safety glass can be divided into two categories: tempered glass and laminated glass. Tempered glass is made by passing the ordinary glass through a heat treatment process to increase its strength by 3-5 times, and can withstand an external impact or temperature difference of a certain energy without breaking, even if it is broken, the whole piece of glass is broken into  small particles&fragments. It will not cause injury, so it has certain security. Tempered glass can not be cut, it needs to be cut before tempering, and has “self-explosion” characteristics. tempered-glass-supplier-china-morn-building-materials   According to different uses, tempered glass can be divided into all types of tempered glass, heat strengthened glass, regional tempered glass, flat tempered glass, and curved tempered glass. Tempered glass is mainly used in doors and windows of automobiles, trains, ships and buildings. Laminated glass is a laminated glass composed of two or more sheets of glass bonded together by a transparent bonding material (elastic intermediate layer). Because the bonding material has good impact resistance and bonding performance, when the glass is broken by external impact, the external impactor will not penetrate the glass, and the glass fragments will not fly out and hurt, thereby ensuring safety effect. laminated-safety-glass-supplier-morn-building-materials   Basic function of laminated safety glass Laminated glass, composed of two glass layers, is the simplest laminated glass and has the following four functions: 1.Safety .When the external impact is caused, the elastic intermediate layer absorbs the impact, which can prevent the impact from penetrating. Even if the glass is broken, only a small crack like a spider web is generated, and the fragments are firmly adhered to the middle. On the floor, it will not fall off and hurt people, and can continue to use until replacement. 2, anti-theft laminated glass is very tough, even if the thieves cracked the glass, because the middle layer is firmly adhered to the glass, still maintain the integrity, so that the thieves can not enter the room. After installing the laminated glass, the guardrail can be omitted, which saves money and looks good and can get rid of the feeling of the cage. bulletproof-glass-supplier-morn   3, sound insulation Because the PVB interlayer film has a damping function for sound waves, laminated glass can effectively suppress the propagation of noise, especially in buildings located at airports, stations, downtown and roads, after installing laminated glass, its sound insulation effect is very obvious. 4, UV protection performance PVB interlayer film can absorb more than 99% of ultraviolet light, thus protecting indoor furniture, plastic products, textiles, carpets, art, ancient artifacts or commodities from UV radiation and fading and aging. Morn is glass specialist and can supply all kinds of EN/SGCC certified safety glass. Download this article here:Safety-Glass #### Safety glass types Safety glass types There are currently four types of safety glass on the market: tempered glass, laminated glass,heat strengthened laminated glass, and tempered laminated glass. Laminated glass peis more expensive, while tempered glass is relatively cheap. tempered-safety-glass 1.Tempered glass When the tempered glass is broken, the entire glass is broken into small particles, which can minimize the damage to people. It’s widely used in shower rooms,facade spandrel,glass table,balustrades etc. 2.Laminated glass As a kind of safety glass, laminated glass has the following characteristics: ① Laminated glass will not splash or fall after being broken by impact. ② Due to the adhesion of the PVB film sandwiched between two pieces of ordinary glass of laminated glass, when laminated glass is not broken like ordinary glass, sharp fragments will be generated, which will hurt people. ③ The PVB interlayer film of laminated glass has the properties of sound insulation and sunlight control, so it can not only block noise, but also block more than 99% of ultraviolet rays and absorb heat in the infrared spectrum. Laminated glass is usually 6.38,8.38,10.38,12.76, which is made with 2 pieces thin float glass and 0.38/0.76mm PVB interlayer,customers can cut easily at site to fit different windows sizes. 3.Heat srengthened laminated glass Heat strengthened laminated glass is a glass material formed by sandwiching two pieces of heat strengthened glass. Large pieces of glass generated when the glass breaks will adhere firmly to the transparent bonding material without splashing or falling. It’s widely used in high rise buildings and made into laminated insulated glass to increase glass safety and won’t fall in case glass is broken. 4． Tempered laminated glass Tempered laminated glass is safety glass formed by two pieces of tempered safety glass. When broken, the glass will break into obtuse small particles. The interlayer will adhere firmly to the transparent bonding material, and it is also not easy to hurt people.

Download this article here:safety-glass-types #### Safety problem of glass curtain wall Safety potential of glass curtain wall Glass curtain wall is a unique design in modern architecture. One of the biggest advantage of the  glass curtain walls is that the use of various energy-efficient curtain wall glass greatly reduces the energy consumption of buildings.Many projects have been plagued by glass curtain walls. Some glass curtain walls with unreasonable design, material selection and construction have received wide attention from all walks of life due to problems such as glass breakage, glass fall, and water leakage. Morn-Glass-curtain-wall Due to various unreasonable applications, glass curtain wall has many problems, such as high self-explosion rate of tempered glass, failure of structural adhesive, poor fireproof performance of curtain wall glass (ordinary), failure of glass curtain wall support structure, failure of glass curtain wall fixture, etc. We will analyze and demonstrate various security problem in the glass curtain wall, and discuss with you how to solve the problem. Safety misunderstanding of glass curtain wall maintenance There are many reasons for causing glass breakage. First, the glass burst caused by the impurity nickel sulfide Glass-self-explosion   Nickel sulfide is an inevitable harmful impurity in the production process of glass. Nickel sulfide itself does not cause any damage to the glass. However, when the curtain wall glass containing nickel sulfide is installed on the curtain wall, the volume of nickel sulfide is generated due to the increase of external temperature. Minor changes cause tiny cracks in the interior of the glass. These cracks pass through the tempered glass tension and release the internal energy, causing the glass to break. The glass manufacturer should monitor the glass manufacturing process to minimize the contact between the nickel-containing materials and the glass raw materials. Secondly, after the installation of the curtain wall glass, there is a technology for detecting the presence of nickel sulfide impurities by photography. If it is necessary, the necessary replacement should be carried out in time to prevent the glass from being damaged after being broken. It is also possible to replace the single piece of tempered glass and the tempered insulating glass with laminated glass. If the nickel sulfide impurity is deformed due to deformation, the glass is broken and the fragments are still adhered to the film. As for the formation of glass rain, it causes damage to ground personnel. Second, the glass broken by thermal stress Thermal stress is an important cause of glass curtain wall breakage. There are many reasons for the heating of the glass curtain wall, but the most important heat source is sunlight. When the sunlight shines on the surface of the glass curtain wall, the glass will be thermally expanded. If the glass is evenly heated, the glass edge and the central portion of the glass will expand evenly at the same time, but if the edge The inside of the glass and the glass are unevenly heated, and tensile stress is generated inside the glass. When there are cracks or micro cracks in the edge of the glass, these defects are easily affected by thermal stress. As the temperature difference increases, the thermal stress causes the crack to gradually The increase eventually leads to glass breakage. Solution: Firstly, the edge of the glass is finished, using fine-edged or polished edges to reduce the presence of micro-cracks; secondly, the glass is tempered to enhance the glass’s ability to resist temperature changes; the third is During the processing, handling and installation of glass, the glass must be properly protected. Be careful not to collide and rub the edge of the glass with other hard objects. Strictly follow the operating procedures, especially during the installation process, if the frame is not suitable (too small or Distorted deformation, be sure not to pinch the corners of the glass with pliers, be sure to correct the frame to fit the size of the glass. Third, the glass curtain wall has poor fire resistance Fire-resistance-test-curtain-wall   The glass curtain wall is a non-combustible material, but in the face of fire, it can soften or even melt. Therefore, in the architectural design, the fire protection requirements of the building must be fully considered. The general glass curtain wall has a low fireproof effect, fire integrity, and fire and heat insulation. In a fire, the glass breaks in a short time. Solution: In the actual construction process, the designers carry out different designs according to the different fire protection requirements of the building. For buildings with general fire protection requirements, the glass is made of glass brick, tempered glass, small flat glass, etc. For buildings with high fire protection requirements, the curtain wall glass uses brushed glass, single piece fireproof glass, composite fireproof glass, fireproof insulating glass and the like. Composite fireproof glass is currently the most widely used fire curtain wall glass. Among the several fireproof glass manufacturers in the domestic market, King Kong glass is more prominent in overall fireproof and flame retardant performance, because when a fire occurs, at a certain time The inner fire surface glass is thermally cracked, but due to the presence of the fireproof film, the glass is adhered to the film without falling, maintaining the integrity of the glass. At the same time, because the film itself has a fireproof effect, it not only blocks the fire spread, but also ensures that the temperature of the backfire surface does not rise rapidly and controls the spread of the fire. Curtain wall glass structural sealant failure Because the glass curtain wall has long been affected by the unfavorable factors of the natural environment, such as wind, sun, rain, ultraviolet radiation, earthquakes, etc., it is required that the glass curtain wall must have weather resistance, durability, corrosion resistance, as a bonding material. Structural sealant has become the focus of attention. In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities that used glass curtain walls at the earliest, curtain wall glass fall occurred. How to determine whether a piece of glass structural glue is invalid can be said to be difficult, but to ensure the safety of personnel and vehicles, if It is a huge expense to replace the glass curtain wall in a large area. In the face of this situation, the owners are in a dilemma. The solution is to first limit the use of the hidden frame glass curtain wall, and must protect the glass curtain wall that has passed the quality guarantee period. For example, fences, green belts, and hanging curtains are placed around the glass curtain wall to prevent falling glass damage and passing pedestrians and vehicles. The second is to use the bright frame and semi-hidden frame glass curtain wall as much as possible, because even if the structural adhesive fails, the chance of glass falling will be greatly reduced due to the support and constraints of the frame. At the same time, we should pay attention to the brand identity of domestic certified rubber. In the past 20 years, China’s building structure silicone rubber has a series of certification parameters and standards. It is used in the industry to control the quality of structural rubber products, uniform performance standards, and improve glass curtain wall. The safety of the glue. At present, in the Chinese market, in addition to the only existing American Dow Corning and other brands, Zhengzhou Zhongyuan, Guangzhou Baiyun, Hangzhou Zhijiang, Chengdu Silicon Bao, Antai Construction Rubber, etc., which appeared earlier in the domestic structural adhesives, have structural adhesive properties and testing quality. Standards have met or exceeded international standards. Glass curtain wall support structure is invalid Not all problems with glass curtain walls are caused by the glass itself. Sometimes the failure of the frame structure supporting the glass can also cause safety problems in the glass curtain wall. The frame structure used to support the glass is often the weak link of the glass curtain wall. If the original frame system design is unreasonable, the frame structure cannot withstand the pressure inside the building, and then deformation occurs, eventually leading to glass breakage. The solution is to anti-fatigue experiments on the frame structure during the design process, and then design the corresponding curtain wall glass according to its anti-fatigue ability to prevent the frame from overloading for a long time. Referring to the structural rationality of the frame, it is inseparable from the application of aluminum profiles. As the birthplace of China’s high-quality aluminum profiles (the term “profiles” are provided by the industry’s encyclopedia), Guangdong has Jianmei, Weichang, Aluminium, Weiye, First-class brands such as Xinhe; and in the north, because of the innate advantages of the electrolytic aluminum industry chain and resources in Shandong Province, famous brands including: Huajian and others emerged. At the same time, in the northwest region, Gansu Hongda Aluminum Industry, in recent years, research and development of curtain wall and door and window engineering products, occupy a good market share. Sixth, glass curtain wall fastener fixing device failure curtain-wall-system-morn   All glass facades rely on fasteners to assemble the curtain wall and secure it to the building. However, the unpredictable defects of the fastener fixture may cause serious structural problems and even cause the curtain wall to fall. Solution: Before installing the glass curtain wall, carry out the necessary inspection on the fasteners. After the inspection is passed, it can be installed and used on site. In addition, in the actual construction process, the special lock nut is used to lock the bolt to prevent the bolt from slipping down, or a specific washer is used to ensure that the bolt does not fall off after the bolt is tightened. Fasteners, fasteners and other curtain wall hardware accessories systems need to have a unified integrity. The combination of the use of the results is expected to be excellent, it must be managed by the manufacturer’s centralized quality control, the most outstanding domestically produced curtain wall hardware. Non-Jianlang hardware is the only one, and in the high-end door and window engineering, Hehe Construction Hardware, Chunguang Hardware, Lixing Yangshi, Xing Samsung Hardware, etc., occupy an absolute leading brand position. Other problems caused by the glass curtain wall curved-tempered-glass   The glass curtain wall has caused more than the above problems. Due to the large-scale use of the glass curtain wall, there will be some related problems arising from the design, construction and improper selection of materials. However, as designers, producers, and users have to fully understand and develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, the glass curtain wall is therefore the only choice for the high-rise building’s outer protective structure because of its light structure, easy maintenance, and aesthetics. A bright spot in modern architecture.

The regulations stipulate that all glass balustrades should be strong, tough and durable, to minimize any collapse risks.Glass is also perfect materials used in balustrades because of its natural appearance and high strength. Balustrade Glass Height: The minimum height requirement for all glass balustrades should be 0.9m from the point that it is stood on, up to the height of the handrail. Alternatively, if you intend to install a glass balustrade on the exterior of your building, the minimum height to the handrail must be 1.1m high. The reason for this is fairly self-explanatory – it is principally to help protect everyone – adventurous adults, children and animals – from accidentally falling over the edge! Tempered glass railing Loading Requirements When planning the thickness and style of your particular balustrade, there are three load requirements which you will need to comply with: Horizontal loading on the handrail, vertical loading on the handrail and loading on the infill. Usually the deflection caused by a heavy load must never exceed 25mm. For this reason, the material you source from your glass suppliers needs to be extremely strong and tough, to cope with whatever life may throw at it! As a rule of thumb to follow, domestic glass balustrades need to withstand 0.74 kN/m for every metre of the balustrade. Tempered or laminated glass infills must also measure a minimum of 10mm in thickness. Laminated glass is always strong, but its infill must be tested for both distributed load and point load, making absolutely sure that the infill in the centre of the laminated panel can endure evenly distributed weight as well as concentrated pressure on one small point. Toughened and Laminated Glass Morn Building Materials is experienced glass suppliers providing both toughened and laminated glass for global customers .

The secondary sealant used insulating glass plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the insulating glass structure, and greatly affect the quality and service life of the insulating glass. The insulating glass structural sealant is even directly related to the safety of the curtain wall. insulating glass structure The structure of insulated glass Two pieces of glass are separated by a spacer, the spacer and the glass are first sealed with butyl, which can prevent water vapor or inert gas from entering and exiting the cavity. But the butyl rubber itself has low bonding strength and low elasticity. the spacer is filled with molecular sieves, and the gap between the edge of the glass and the outside of the spacer is sealed with a second sealant.to maintain a good structure when under load. What are the problems caused by improper selection of the secondary sealant for insulating glass? This article summarizes the hazards into the following two categories: the thermal insulation loss of the insulating glass ,and the safety application of insulated glass. The defect of using bad quality sealant The main manifestations of this type of problem include the phenomenon of “rainbow” and “oil flow” in insulating glass. The phenomenon of “water accumulation” and “condensation”, slippage of insulating glass spacers, etc. Rainbow Rainbow is a kind of oil film that appear inside the insulated glass,see below picture: rainbow -oil film inside insulated glass-quality problem Oil flow .Oil flow means the PIB inside the glass have oils or dirty. insulated glass-oil flow The above two situations are related to the filling of “white oil” in the secondary sealant. “White oil” is commonly known as mineral oil. Mineral oil is a hydro-refined petroleum fraction, which is mainly a mixture of saturated naphthenic and paraffinic hydrocarbons. Its chemical structure is obviously different from that of organic silicon materials and has poor compatibility with silicone sealants. , It will migrate and ooze after a certain period of time. The “rainbow film” phenomenon is caused by the migration of “mineral oil” into the inner cavity of the insulated glass; and the reason for the “oil flow” phenomenon is that during the migration process of “mineral oil”, the primary butyl is dissolved, resulting in Black oil spots or oil stains. These “mineral oils” may come from the secondary sealant for insulating glass, and they may also come from the weather-resistant sealant or door and window sealant that is in contact with the secondary sealant. insulated glass quality problem-oil paint inside glass Above picture shows the rainbow film caused by the oil.Since the weather-resistant sealant is in contact with the second insulating glass sealant, the “mineral oil” in the weather-resistant sealant migrates to the second insulating glass sealant, then to a butyl, and finally to the inner cavity of the insulating glass. insulated glass quality problem-PIB dissolve The door and window sealant is partly in contact with the glass secondary sealant, so the “mineral oil” in the door and window sealant migrates to the secondary insulating glass sealant in contact with it, and then migrates to the PIB, which finally results in lprimary butyl is dissolved and oil flow occurs. Actually the mineral oil are not only exist in the weather-resistant sealant,but also the glass secondary sealant.For competitive market,some sealant manufacturers sacrifice the product quality and performance,mineral oil was added into the product to decrease costs.The bad quality sealant will cause oil paints,low bonding effect with the PIB,and even compatibility problem with the PIB.That’s what we;ll discuss below: Glass dew or condensation. The phenomenon of dew and condensation of insulated glass refers to the water vapor entering the cavity condenses into dew or even water after the glass lost its sealing effect,and thermal insulation performance. insulated glass dew-water inside glass-morn Slipping of insulating glass spacer The slipped spacers means that spacers and the second sealant are not well bonded, and they slip in the cavity due to internal stress. spacer slipping inside insulated glass 5.Falling of insulated glass. There’ll be some safety risks that caused by improper sealant,especially the falling of insulated glass from the buildings. glass falling down from buildings In 8th,July,2011, one piece glass falled from 21st floor in Hangzhou ,the falling glass hit a girls leg and caused amputation.The reasons of glass falling is,the improper using of secondary sealant of the insulated glass,the glass used polysulfide sealant but not structural silicon sealant. Polysulfide sealant has poor UV aging resistance. If polysulfide sealant is selected as the second-sealant i, the bonding surface will be exposed to sunlight for a long time, and the bonding effect will decrease and cause glass falling down. What kind of secondary sealant should we use in glass for projects? For different curtain wall systems,our suggestions are below: Point supported glass facade:Must be Structural silicon sealant . Hidden frame curtain wall,semi framed curtain wall:Must be Structural silicon sealant . Large area stick curtain wall:It’s suggested to use Structural silicon sealant . Windows,doors,normal stick curtain wall:Silicon sealant,polysulfide sealant. insulated glass production-morn What methods should we should take to guarantee the sealant quality? a: Before insulating process, confirm that the sealant has a good bond with the substrate, and conduct a bonding test and compatibility test; b: During the processing, continuous extrusion test (snake test), butterfly test, and break time test should be carried out; c: Check the quality of the sealant injection, it should be full and dense to ensure that the sealant is fully in contact with the butyl glue and flush with the glass edge; d: In order to confirm the bonding quality of the sealant and the substrate, the finished insulating glass should be subjected to a tapping peel test. finished insulated glass-MORN-CHINA What sealant brands we can use in China？ The popular sealant brands in China include Silande,Lingzhi,Baiyun,Guibao.All these factories has good quality to ensure the overall insulated glass performance and safety.

EnduroShield® for Glass is an optically clear protective coating that chemically bonds to the surface, creating a non-stick barrier resistant to corrosion, etching, and staining. However, while cleaning is made easier and less frequent, the need to clean is not eliminated. Treated glass becomes both hydrophobic and oleophobic (water and oil repellent) protecting against most forms of dirt, minerals and grime. Self cleaning glass is processed by spaying the Enduro Shield glass treatment onto the glass panels in factory,turning ordinary glass into easy-clean, non-stick surfaces which provides protection against cement slurry during construction,and reduced ongoing maintenance costs for building owners. Self cleaning glass is increasingly being used on architectural and exterior glass products including: • Commercial & Residential • Insulated Glass units • Curtain Walls • Windows and Doors • Railings and Balustrades • Mirrors • Shower Glass self-cleaning-glass-manufacturer-MORN-BM   Advantages: a.EnduroShield is not a traditional coating that sits on the glass, but instead chemically bonds with it, becoming a permanent extension to the surface.It does not require regular revitalizer products to maintain performance over the clearly stated lifetime of the product. b.Glass is porous and as a result absorbs contaminants and pollution which causes deterioration and discoloration. The deterioration of the surface makes cleaning more frequent and much more difficult. EnduroShield seals the porosity of the glass, and protects against deterioration. EnduroShield’s performance passed all tested through TÜV Rhineland,All testing was carried out to simulate a lifetime of 10 years on glass for both interior and exterior use.

The features of SGP interlayer is high strength.SGP laminated glass bearing capability is 2 times that of PVB laminated glass,but the bending deflection of SGP laminated is only 1/4 of PVB laminated glass under the same thickness and load condition. The tearing strength of SGP interlayer is 5 times higher than PVB film,even if the glass breaks,the SGP can also stick the glass and form a temporary structure while keeping small bending deformation,it can withstand a certain amount of load and whole piece laminated glass won’t fall or deform. Features of SGP laminated glass: It has high bonding ability to glass and strong tear strength, which can prevent the glass from breaking and scattering. It has strong protective ability, can prevent natural disasters and human damage, and has sufficient resistance to strong winds, earthquakes, violence, theft, etc. It can withstand the sudden impact of indoor personnel, prevent the glass from scattering or the whole out, and avoid indoor people and articles flying out and falling. There is enough residual bearing capacity, and the whole piece will not fall off when the glass breaks and then bends. SGP film has sufficient shear modulus to bend the entire section of the laminated glass, improve the bearing capacity and bending rigidity of the glass, and reduce the glass thickness and glass weight. Can withstand the effects of ultraviolet light, water vapor and external climate change, long-term use will not appear yellowing discoloration. Taking advantage of SGP laminated glass high strength ,it’s widely used in hurricane proof windows&doors,bulletproof glass,glass aquarium,oversized architectural glass, glass floors,glass skywalk and glass bridges worldwide. GLASS BRIDGE IN CHINA DG41,full name is Saflex DG structural interlayer,developed by Eastman Group,another world leading PVB manufacturer.The features of DG structural interlayer is,beside offering higher strengthen than normal PVB laminated glass,it is applicable to other Saflex brand PVB interlayer products ,which allows glass processors to use both normal products,for example RA,RB,Vanceva PVB interlayers and DG41 structural interlayer can be used in the same laminated glass,this can decrease the processing difficulty and increase the finished glass ratio,makes glass colorful and multi-functions. For this reason,many designers appoint DG41 laminated glass in their project ,and sometimes even replace the SGP laminated glass,it’s not suggested to make this decision before confirming the glass strength and the local temperatures and climate. Designers use some formula to calculate the laminated glass strength and usually ignore the interlayers function &strength,laminated effective thickness is used.With the development of new structural PVB&SGP interlayer, laminated effective thickness is no longer effective,and designers need to consider the function of this stiff interlayer function in the designing process. What decided the interlayer strength? The shear modulus describes the material’s response to shearing strains.A lateral deformation is observed in the object when a shear force is applied to it. The elastic coefficient is known as shear modulus of rigidity.  Shear modulus rigidity is the measurement of the rigidity of the object and it is obtained by measuring the ratio of shear stress of the object to the shear strain of the object. Below show the shearing modulus of SGP interlayer and DG41: shearing-modulus-pvb-vs-SGP-interlayer   shearing-modulus-pvb-vs-SGP-interlayer   As we can see,DG41 shearing storage modulus is very similar to Kuraray Extra stiff PVB interlayer,so we can see them same products.the shearing modulus decrease significantly and sharply once temperature over 30 degrees,and almost same as normal PVB interlayer when temperature going higher. But how can we see the difference of different shearing modulus when the interlayer was applied into laminated glass? It’s quite easy, let’s check whether the laminated glass can be penetrated or not, and another important point ,is if the laminated glass can sustain certain weight after broken. Mr Malvinder Singh Rooprai&Ingo Stelzer,conducted a test against the laminated glass because even though the FEM software can help calculate the glass pre-breakage strength,it cannot predict the post breakage strength ,even in the cases maintenance workers falling through or falling down. The test was based on German Standard pr DIN 18008-6 covering PVB,EVA,SGP interlayer and stiff interlayer (Kuraray sextra stiff) ,and in 3 temperature conditions:subzero (-20 °C), room temperature (21 °C) and elevated temperatures of 50 °C,through this test,the scientists were able to know clearly which kind of laminated glass can work as the best materials used in overhead glazings,for example glass floor,glass bridges,glass skywalks etc. 1. Immediate Post Breakage Strength against “fall through” Dropping a soft bag weighing 100 Kgs (typical weight of maintenance working along his tools and tackles) from a height of 1.2 mts at a test temperature of 50 ºC. The test method simulates potential loading from installation and/or maintenance workers in distress. The panels were conditioned at 50 °C for 1 hour before the test. The test result shows that SGP laminated glass didn’t collapsed and prevented the soft bags falling down,while EVA ,normal PVB and stiff PVB laminated glass all collapsed as soon as the impactor struck,and failed to act as a barrier. 2.  Medium Duration Post Breakage Strength Testing (30 Minutes or more) The Germany Standard DIN 18008–6, (Glass in Buildings – Design & Construction Rules – Additional requirements for walk-on glazings in case of maintenance procedures),is the only world existing standard to evaluate the glass sustain capability after breakage. The standard requires a laminated glass construction to sustain the weight of 100 Kg for at least 30 minutes after breakage of top layer of glass. First, the panel is subjected to an impact made by dropping a twin tyre impactor which weighs 50 Kg from a height of 900 mm. This is followed by imposing a load of 100 Kg for 30 minutes on an area of 200 x 200 mm (Fig. 7). After breakage of the uppermost glass layer, the whole glazing element must stay on its supports for at least 30 minutes. The test was aimed to know the ultimate post breakage performance limit so load was ramped up to 400 Kg in increments of 100 Kg, with a 15 minute time interval between each load increment. At -20 °C, laminates made from the 4 interlayer candidates i.e 0.89 Ionomer, 1.52 mm Ionomer, 1.52 mm PVB, 1.52 Stiff PVB pass the post breakage strength requirements of the new German Standard pr DIN 18008 – 6. At -20 °C, all 4 candidates had their ultimate strength more than 400 Kg as there was no collapse of the panel due to tearing of the interlayer at rotules. At 21 °C, Ionomer and Stiff PVB laminates pass the post breakage strength requirements of DIN 18008–6 but PVB laminate does not. At 21 °C, 0.89 mm & 1.52 mm Ionomer laminate had almost similar post breakage strength till about 45minutes from the breakage. For tropical climate regions where the ambient temperature is more than 45 °C, Ionomer interlayer laminates meet and exceed the requirements of pr DIN 18008-6 Standard. The test report can be get here:Test report Please also contact us if you’re interested in the full test videos. Based on above test,we can see that SGP laminated glass can work as good barrier against falling accident,and can sustain up to 400kgs weight for up to 45 minutes even if glass is broken. While extra stiff PVB laminated glass,whether it’s Kuraray extra stiff,or DG41 interlayer,when under high temperature conditions,the laminated glass cannot protect people once accidents happens and cannot sustain much weight,this match the shearing modulus chart above. DG41 ‘s shearing strength decrease sharply and almost same as normal PVB interlayer,which means its strength and sustain capability is almost same.So it’s not suggested to use DG41 and stiff PVB laminated glass in areas where the temperature is over 30 degrees,so interior application,and high tropical areas is perfect for extra stiff products. SGP interlayer works in anywhere,whether it’s high temperature or low temperature.  DG41 and SGP laminated glass Price. 1.52mm DG41 price is about USD45/SQM. 1.52mm SGP price is about USD54/SQM. Let’s take 21.52mm low iron tempered laminated glass as example,the price with DG41 and SGP interlayer price is about USD95 and USD105/SQM. The final price difference is decided by the interlayer difference.There’s almost no processing costs difference.

Shabo glass group contains more than 10 largest shahe manufacturers,including Anquan,Yingxin,Haisheng,Changcheng etc. Shahe glass is famous for it’s low quality,low price even though they’re improving every year.The manufacturer’s quotation(Jan 29th) for clear float glass is USD145/MT,unbelievable low,but this cannot attract the processor’s interests as the decreased requirement from real estate and approaching spring festival. The main sales depend on some low end processors,export and mirror industry. China Glass Storage So,today let’s talk about the development of the industry there. 1.The start stage(1980-2000) Shahe glass starts from 1980s,when China just started reform and opening policies.The 1st factory was built in a townlet,by 1987,more factories were established. At this stage,Shahe produce recycled glass by horizontal sheet process,by the end of 2000,more than 150 horizontal sheet production line. 2.Reform stage(2001-2005) In 1996,the 1st sheet glass line started production,During this 5 years,the reform the production line from horizontal to use glaverbel glass(sheet glass) production process,and in 2001,the 1st float glass line was built. 3.Improving stage(2006-2010) Large scale float glass lines were established during this 5 years. 4.Transforming stage.(2011-2015) In this stage,Shahe started “3 transformation”,from glass sheet to further processing,from low-End to high end,from normal building glass to safety glass,energy-saving glass,art glass. Float glass export In the next several years,more high-tech glass and processed glass will be produced there,as the float glass consumption cannot catch the production speed,some manufacturers will be eliminated and turn to some field with higher profit.

Silk screening process is similar as heat treated glass(tempered or heat strengthened) but before heat treating process,ceramic frit inks is applied to the glass surface by silk screen and the tempering process will bond the inks to the glass permanently ,so different from back painted glass ,the patterns or colors will last lifetime and won’t fade or disappear during the glass lifetime. Silk screen glass projects-MORN Ceramic frit glass is widely used in handrails,balustrades,glass spandrel and some areas which require privacy. When designing with silk-screen patterns, it is important to select the pattern (screen), select the color for the pattern and identify the pattern orientation. The silk screen patterns include lines,dots,graduated patterns,and custom patterns.Coverage rate can range from 0 to 100% opaque. Silk screen glass patterns-morn building materials Ceramic frit inks color:Clients are required to specify the RAL color code,we’ll adjust the color for you.There’s special color that can be offered by Morn is,we have translucent silk screen inks to simulate acid etching effects. Silk screen side: For monolithic:Glass surface #2 is recommended. For laminated glass and insulated glass:Surface #2,#3,#4 are all OK. But please note if applied on insulated glass surface #3 or #4,the silk screen can be almost invisible viewing from the outside as the low e coating reflective color can affect the ceramic frit color reflectance. CERAMIC FRIT GLASS SUPPLIER-CHINA MORN Silk-screened glass improves solar control performance and can be combined with clear or tinted glass substrates, as well as with high-performance coatings to reduce glare and decrease solar transmission. The shortage of silk screen glass is the patterns and colors are limited ,it’s can only be used for simple uniform pattern and color applications,if you want multi color and unique patterns on glass surface,please try digitally printed glass as option.

The glass is made with ultra clear rolled glass to take the most advantage of solar,the back side can be also glass panels or back opaque panels.The cells is laminated inside with PVB or EVA film.The generated power can reach 180-200W/M2. Monocrystalline Silicon cells & Polycrystalline Silicon cells are the 2 main cells used. Polycrystalline Silicon cells can generate more power in areas with more cloudy or rainy days. But as this solar panels is made of 2+2, 3.2+3.2 glass,overall thickness is below 10mm,if applied in building curtain wall or skylight,the glass wind load and live load,glass strength is less than design requirement.The standard size solar panels is made with machines while machines cannot transfer very heavy glass,so when applied in facade or skylight,glass thickness will increase ,and cells configuration can change according to design and achieve different transparency requirement. BIPV-SOLAR-GLASS-CANOPY   sOLAR-GLASS-FENCES-BIPV-MORN-BM   Photovoltaic glass mainly has the following characteristics: (1) high absorption rate of sunlight and low reflectivity; (2) high mechanical strength for destructive external forces such as freezing rain, rain, snow, hail, dust storm; (3) Acid rain and corrosive gases in the air have certain anti-corrosion properties; (4) The long-term exposure of photovoltaic glass to natural conditions, its ability to not deform for a long time. 2.New BIPV coated glass on glass facade/skylight As the traditional silicon cells are opaque,when applied on building facade or skylight,the opaque areas will be very ugly,so new coated solar glass was developed .It can be made into laminated glass,laminated insulated glass to achieve better thermal insulation effect. a.Amorphous silicon glass Amorphous-silicon-glass-morn-bm   b.CdTe Glass solar glass,photovoltaic roof,photovoltaic glass,solar power system,crystalline silicon cells,Polycrystalline Silicon cells,Monocrystalline Silicon cells,Amorphous silicon glass ,CdTe Glass,copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells,CIGS GLASS,architectural glass supplier   c.copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells copper-indium-gallium-selenide-(CIGS)-thin-film-solar-cells With the development of new technology,more and more solar glass was innovated and been applied on buildings&solar power stations to generate power and contribute to a clean earth.

Download this article here:Solar glass/Photovoltaic glass classification #### Solar reflective coating on position 2 & 3. As we know,soft coated low-E coatings must be made into insulated glass,and low-E coating position on glass surface #2 ,or surface #3,for laminated insulated glass,the coating will be on surface #4,or #5.The main affected glass performance is the solar coefficient,and U value.Compared with low-E coating on exterior glass, coating on interior surface will have higher solar coefficient,suitable for high altitude areas that require more solar energy. But for solar reflective glass,as there’s no silver layers in the coating,it can be used in both interior and exterior glass,so will this affect the glass performance? Firstly,customers should be aware that ,the solar reflective glass will have some reflective color,usually blue,blue grey,silver grey color,when placed on the insulated glass interior panels,the reflected color is different from the color on exterior panels.This problem also happened to low-E coatings,especially for double silver low-E,the front side of double silver low-E coating are usually blue,while the back side are sometimes purple,red,green colors,this will affect the overall building appearance,please double confirm before confirming the coating position. Glass spandrel glass,solar reflective glass How the coating position affect the glass performance?

Conslusion: Same as low-E coatings,when placing the solar reflective coating on surface #3,the SC value will be much higher than on position 2.Even if placed on surface #4, the SC will be same as surface 3,also very high. Now solar reflective coated glass is rarely used ,many glass contractors and designers is using same IGU with ceramic frit on the spandrel areas,solar reflective glass is almost been forgot because its solar and thermal insulation performance is not as good as insulated glass.But in some areas,solar reflective glass,especially hard coated solar reflective glass with low light transmittance and low SC value.

Solar energy enters the room through the glass and cause the indoor temperature to rise, especially in summer, and the heat entering the room is not easy to naturally radiate through the building, which makes the indoor thermal comfort and light comfort deteriorates. Even if the air temperature is suitable under the skylight, as long as there is sunlight, people still feel hot and uncomfortable, just like people standing outdoors under the sun. Shopping malls with large scale glass skylight 2 Under the same indoor air temperature,the temperature felt by the human body under the building with ordinary windows and the skylight is very different,sometimes the overall air synthetic temperature under skylight can be 15℃ higher than windows. Factors cause greenhouse effect? large scale glass skylight with insulated glass Solar shading coefficient: The overall air synthetic temperature is directly proportional to the skylight solar shading coefficient.Better solar shading coefficient improve the thermal environment under the roof, and increase thermal comfort. It also helps reducing the cooling energy consumption in summer. Solar radiation. The overall air synthetic temperature is directly proportional to the solar radiation. In hot summer and cold winter areas the greenhouse effect under the skylight is extremely significant, and measures must be taken to solve it, otherwise the human body under the lighting roof feels overheated. In cold regions, there is also a period of strong solar radiation in summer.  Measures to increase indoor comfort laminated insulated glass applied in glass skylight Decrease skylight glass U value Skylight glass are usually laminated insulated glass, laminated glass is inside to prevent glass fragments falls once glass broken. In our previous posts,the glass thermal insulation performance (Glass U value) is affected by the glass installation angle. learn more:How the glass U value been affected by the installation angle? Firstly,skylight designers and architect should be aware of below conclusion: In summer condition,glass U value is not affected by the installation angle,from 0° to 90°. In cold winter conditions,glass U value decrease from 0° to 90°,take solarban 60 double silver low-E coating as example,glass U value decrease from 1.66 to 2.47,which helps reduce air heating costs. Laminated insulated glass   Measures to reduce glass U value: Using high performance double silver low-E andtriple silver low-E Using argon filled insulated glass to replace the air inside glass. Using warm edge spacer instead of traditional aluminium spacers to decrease glass edge thermal insulation. Change double glazed units to triple insulated glass. More details can be found here: Insulated glass-feature,thermal performance&calculation tool Extend: Argon filled insulating glass VS warm edge spacer insulating glass Decrease glass Solar shading coefficient Glass solar shading coefficient is related to the glass light transmittance,glass light reflectance,and the low e coating types. High performance double silver low-E coatings and triple silver low e coatings transfer the sunlight into cold light,allow much less solar radiation through the glass.

Colorful laminated glass for skylights photovoltaic glass used on glass skylight Apply thermal insulation film on existing skylight projects For already installed skylights,it’s impossible to change the existing glass combinations.Glass film is perfect option for customers to decrease glass solar coefficient,below pictures shows a project installing solar reflecting films ,after installation process,indoor temperature under the glass skylights decreased by 12-15 degree. Installing solar reflective film on existing skylight projects obviously decreased glass SC after installing films Adding extra interior or exterior solar shading facilities. The glass skylights can add external or internal shading facilities,for example outdoor fabric canopy,FSS roller awning,FCS awning,FTS awnings.Beside awnings, electrical aluminium louver systems also works to stop light transmit glass directly. skylight external shading system-China Morn The difference between internal shading and external shading system is： External solar shading systems stop the direct solar radiation through the glass,the overall solar radiation through glass was minimized,but for structural reason,external shading systems price is higher. Internal solar shading systems cannot decrease the heat through glass,but as the shadings color is light,the far radiation generated by the sunlight was decreased as well. internal solar shading system for skylight Both shading systems avoid the direct sunlight ,decrease the people apparent temperature. Glass skylight brings light and sun energy into the room,architects and designers should take measures to minimize the negative high temperature caused by the direct sunlight through glass,and shading systems.

Donwload this article here:Solutions to the greenhouse effect of glass skylight #### Some knowledge about ultra clear glass&heat soaked glass Some knowledge about ultra clear glass&heat soaked glass 1. Why is the self-explosion rate of ultra clear tempered glass low? Low iron glass, because it contains much less iron elements than normal glass, it looks crystal clear, so it is also called ultra-white glass. Compared with float glass, in order to remove iron from the ultra-white glass in the production process, a magnetic selection process is added, and nickel is also removed during the process of removing iron, so that the content of nickel sulfide in the ultra-white glass is extremely low. Nickel sulphide is the root reason of self-explosion of tempered glass, so the self-explosion rate of ultra-white tempered glass is also very low. According to the usage statistics of many engineering cases of CSG, the self-explosion rate of ultra-white tempered glass is about 1/10000 (the self-explosion rate of clear tempered glass is higher than 3/1000). clear-glass-VS-ultra-clear-glass   2. Is there any way to reduce the self-explosion rate of tempered glass? Heat soaking process can reduce the self-explosion rate of tempered glass, and the tempered glass is called “heat soaked glass” . Heat soaking processing is to place the tempered glass in a furnace and heat it up to a certain temperature, after the heat preservation and cooling process. Tempered glass containing nickel sulfide or other impurities in this process will be detonated, so heat soaking is also called “explosion treatment”. The self-explosion rate of heat soaked tempered glass is about 1/1000. 3. Comparison of price of ultra-white tempered glass and heat soaked tempered glass The conversion of heat soaked tempered glass to ultra-white tempered glass has limited increased cost, but it can significantly reduce the self-explosion rate, greatly reducing the incidence of tempered self-explosion, injury, and accidents, as well as maintenance costs during construction use, especially in super high-rises. The replacement cost of the building glass after the explosion. In comparison, the use of ultra-white tempered glass is cost-effective. 4. Performance comparison between ultra-white tempered glass and heat soaked glass The self-explosion rate of heat soaked tempered glass is less than 0.001. It is important that there is no effective technical detection and identification method for heat soaked tempered glass. Therefore, counterfeit heat soaked glass is prevalent in the market, and poor manufacturers compete at low prices without actually making The heat soaking treatment and the reliability of heat soaked tempered glass are questioned. Heat-soaking-furnace   5, the appearance of ultra-white glass visual effects Ultra-white glass will not have a green color even if the thickness of the glass is increased. after been applied with low e coating ,the glass curtain wall can show a distinctive high-end appearance.

Download this article here:Some knowledge about ultra clear glass&heat soaked glass #### some misunderstanding about glass U value some misunderstanding about glass U value Misunderstanding 1: Thicker glass has much better U value than thin glass, laminated glass U value is significantly lower than that of the same thickness glass. insulated glass -air thickness affect glass U value   For clear float glass, the increase of glass thickness does not increase the insulation performance. For example, thick 12mm clear glass and 5mm clear glass,the thickness and glass weight increased by 1.12 times. but its U value only decreased by 7.59%. The hydrogen-filled insulating glass made of 12mm glass and 5mm glass,U value decreased by only 3.24%. Therefore, it is very uneconomical to increase the thermal insulation properties of the glass simply by increasing glass thickness. Laminated glass 5+1.52+5 ,U value-Summer 4.94W/m2.k,winter 5.45W/m2.k. 10mm single piece U value is 5.67 and 5.13 separately. So under same thickness,laminated glass U value is about 0.2W/m2.k lower than same thickness clear glass. Misunderstanding 2: The thicker spacer of insulated glass, the better energy efficient performance. The answer is of course no. In addition to air, the gas filled in the insulated glass contains inert gases such as argon gas and helium gas. Since the thermal conductivity of the gas is very low (air 0.024 W/m2K, argon 0.016 W/m2K, helium 0.0087 W/m2K), Therefore, the thermal resistance of the insulated glass is greatly improved. The most common spacer for insulated glass is 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm,18mm,20mm. When the gas layer increased from 1mm to 9mm, the U value decreases by 37% for clear insulated glass , and the U value decreases by 53% when the Low-e is applied. When increasing from 9mm to 12mm, the speed of decreasing begins to slow down. When spacer thickness over 14mm, the U value of the argon-filled glass has a slight rise. The thickness of the gas spacer layer is directly related to the size of the heat transfer resistance. insulated-glass–air-thcikness-affect-glass-U-value For most areas the most economic spacer thickness is 12mm.In European areas,designers has unique European U value calculation methods and 16mm is best for European countries.

Taiwan Glass developed Quad silver low-E coating-temperable low-E Since 1990s,scientist keep developing new low-E coatings to help decreasing the windows &glass facade energy consumption,from single silver low-E,to double silver low-E,triple silver low-E to now quad silver low-E. The quad silver low-E developed by Taiwan glass has an monolithic light transmittance of 75%,after insulating process,LT keeps higher than 70%. Quad silver low-E,which contain 4 layer silver coating will help increase glass thermal performance Another important feature of the quad silver low-E is ,the inner and external surface has the same color. This will enable more processors to manufacture and supply high end energy saving glass products to global projects. Inner side of quad silver low-E #### Tempered glass and NIS Tempered glass and NIS Tempered glass is easy to self explosion. “self-explosion” is the unavoidable problem of tempered glass,In fact, tempered glass is not horrible, and the potential self-explosion of tempered glass has always been the focus of attention. Self-explosion-glass Source of nickel in glass 2.1 During the installation process of the float production line, the cleanliness of the nickel compound in the furnace has not received much attention from the float glass producers, mainly including the weld head and welding slag left after the steel structure in the furnace has been welded. Rationally speaking, it is normal for a seam to produce hundreds or even tens of thousands of small nickel compounds during welding. In fact, this also directly affects the nickel content of the float glass produced by the entire furnace. A good view of the tempered glass on the surface may shorten its service life by containing nickel sulfide greater than 60 μm. nis-inside-tempered glass   2.2 Raw materials are also a problem that cannot be ignored. The components of float glass are quartz sand (silica sand), soda ash, thenardite, dolomite, feldspar (potassium feldspar, albite), limestone, flux, clarifier, colorant. , broken glass, etc., mainly found in silica sand, dolomite, feldspar, a trace of nickel. The glass contains nickel sulfide crystals. NiS (nickel sulfide) has a phase transition process at 379 ° C. When the high-temperature α-NiS crystal system is changed to the low-temperature β-NiS crystal system, the volume expands by 2% to 4%. And the surface is rough. If these impurities are in the tensile stress zone of the tempered glass, volume expansion may cause spontaneous bursting. Glass deep processing enterprises will have heat soak test on after the tempering process, effectively reducing the probability of self-explosion.

Why the sports courts need tempered glass? In 2018,April, an game in Germany ice hockey league,the glass fences was broken by the high speed ice hockey,the game had to be suspended after glass was replaced. broken tempered glass fence in Germany Unluckily on November 4th,the tempered glass was broken again in another game. Broken tempered glass in ick hockey games The ice hockey is made of a black hard rubber with a thickness of 2.54 cm, a diameter of 7.62 cm, and weight between 156 -170 grams. During the game, the ice hockey puck swung by an athlete with a stick can reach a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a miniature shell. Similar as ice hockey,the racquetball is filled with inert gas. When the squash ball is hit, the gas is heated and expanded due to friction, and its flying speed can reach a speed often reaching 200 km/h, the highest record is 270 km/h. The speed is second only to the king of speed badminton, and it becomes a fast and violent sport. racquetball sports-high speed Tempered glass work as a barrier between the games and audiences ,it keep the ball inside the sports court,prevent severe and even fatal injury to audiences,court owners can also get rid of possible lawsuits result from injuries. The tempered glass also keep the game uninterrupted. How the tempered glass fence works? Tempered glass is a kind of heat treated glass,after heating the glass to 670-710 degree temperature and a fast wind cooling process,uniform compressive stress is formed on the surface of the glass, and tensile stress is formed inside, which improves the bending and impact strength of the glass, and its strength is about 3-5 times that of float glass. When the glass is damaged by external force, the fragments will become honeycomb-like obtuse-angled small particles, which are not easy to cause serious harm to the human body. glass-breakage-2 International tempered glass standards,whether it’s EN12150, ANSI2208,ASTM C1048,contain impact test for tempered glass.The 45kgs weight bags or dual tyre fall from height 1200mm,impact glass directly to simulate a human body hit the glass,glass shall not break and keep high strength. Glass impact test The application of tempered glass in sports courts 1.Padel tennis courts panel court -12mm tempered glass fence Padel combines technical features such as tennis, squash, table tennis, and badminton. Padel has been popular in 78 countries, 35 of which have joined the International Padel Federation. It is a ball game played on a fully enclosed dedicated court. The padel court is 20*10 meters wide.

Tempered glass with round corners Download this article here:Tempered Glass application in Sports Courts Fences #### The advantage of diffused glass in Greenhouse The advantage of diffused glass in Greenhouse Glass has been used as primary glazing materials for greenhouse for long times because of its high light transmittance and longevity.Compared with other glazing materials, glass has high price and has poor thermal insulation properties.Although glass high daylight transmits , most of that light penetrates through the glazing directly;only little are diffused light. Therefore, glass-glazed greenhouse has better lighting than most other glazing choices, on sunny days the uniformity of that light is poor since the structure and overhead obstructions (heat pipes, hanging baskets, etc.) solid distinct shadows on crops below. diffused-low-iron-glass-supplier-morn   Diffused glass is usually low iron patterned glass that scattering the sunshine. A challenge is to prevent dust from accumulating without scratching the glass.AR coatings was developed to increase the light transmittance once again and keep glass surface cleaning. Compared with clear glass, diffused glass can: Increase the uniformity of the greenhouse climate, particularly temperature and light  conditions Increase fruit production (by five to ten percent) of high-wire tomato and cucumber crops Increase flowering and decrease production time. greenhouse-diffused-glass-supplier-morn   Diffused glass is more expensive than regular clear glass,but the advantages is definitely worth the cost; a Dutch academic recently said that 90% greenhouses  in  Holland (many of that are for vegetable crops) have diffused glass. Glass is widely used glazing material in Netherlands , together with areas a lot of northern latitude (Amsterdam is 52°N latitude; for comparison, Calgary city in Canada is 51°N latitude), the large scale production of high-light requiring crops like tomato and rose, their relatively gentle winters, and typical year-round production. The benefits of diffused glass is more pronounced in regions with ample sunny weather because that clouds already scatter daylight.For tall crops or those with a dense cover. High-wire crops like tomato and pepper would particularly profit, since a lot of lightweight would reach leaves deeper into the tall canopies. within the u. s., growers ought to weigh the benefits of subtle glass with its value considering their location, production periods, and kinds of crops fully grown.

The glass greenhouse has beautiful appearance, smooth visual flow, strong wind load capacity and large displacement, and is suitable for areas with high wind and rainfall. Here are the advantages and uses of the glass greenhouse: Glass-greenhouse-glass-supplier-morn Advantages of the glass greenhouse: 1. Evenly distributed light in the room: the triangular roof of the large slope (that is, there is only one triangular roof in one span), the backlight slope will form a large shadow in the glass greenhouse, and the plant growth in this area is poor. The small sloped triangular roof allows for even light distribution. 2, low heat consumption: relatively large slope triangular roof glass greenhouse, under the same building area, the same height, the same outer protection area, small slope roof glass greenhouse construction space is small, so the heat consumption is small. 3, anti-drip function: In the cold weather season, indoor and outdoor temperature difference is large, so the glass greenhouse roof is prone to condensate. Due to the small slope of the small triangular roof, the condensed water has flowed into the aluminum material collecting the condensed water at the level of the water that has not accumulated to the next drop, preventing the condensed water droplets from causing foliar diseases. 4. Easy greenhouse maintenance: Due to the small slope, the maintenance and cleaning work of the roof is easy. 5. The glass greenhouse adopts hot-dip galvanized steel frame, which is sturdy and durable, and has strong wind and pressure resistance. 6, using glass as the greenhouse covering material, good light transmittance, good sealing, thermal insulation wall, high ornamental. 7. Large-span apex design, large indoor operation space, high utilization rate of glass greenhouse, and good display effect. greenhouse aluminium profile manufacturer-morn   Morn is your turnkey greenhouse glass supplier,welcome contact us once you have any requirement.

Now many consumers will be replace PVC doors and windows with thermal break aluminum doors and windows. PVC windows and doors has 2 disadvantages: LIFETIME: PVC profiles is plastic and steel lining. If you don’t talk about inferior plastic steel, even high-quality PVC can’t solve the problem of brittleness and deformation caused by steel lining against steel aging. Second, High-quality PVC windows and door can last ten years, while inferior quality one can only last three to five years. Nowadays, The endless price war has not only led to a sharp dip in the profits,but also derived a large number of inferior plastic steel windows. The endless low-cost competition made the early entertainers in the plastics industry lose their fighting passion because they were unprofitable, while the street shops continued to carry forward the plastic-steel windows with bad quality. Thermal break aluminium profile windows and doors has below advantages: Thermal-break-aluminium-profile Thermal-break-aluminium-profile   1. Reducing heat conduction:heat-insulating bridge aluminum alloy profiles, its heat transfer coefficient is 1.8-3.5W/m2·k, which is much lower than traditional aluminum alloy profiles 140-170W/m2·k.Combineing with insulated glass,the windows U value is 2.0~3.59W/m2·k which is much lower than the traditional aluminum alloy profile 6.69～6.84W/m2·k, which effectively reduces the heat conducted through the door and window. 2. Prevent condensation: The temperature of the inner surface of the profile with the heat insulation strip is close to the indoor temperature, which reduces the possibility that the indoor moisture will condense on the surface of the profile due to supersaturation. 3, energy efficient: in the winter, the window frame with heat insulation strip can reduce the loss of heat through the window frame by 1/3; in the summer, if there is air conditioning, the window frame with heat insulation strip can Reduce energy loss more. aluminium-profile-supplier-morn 4, Protect the environment: through the application of insulation system, can reduce energy consumption, while reducing the environmental radiation caused by air conditioning and heating. Good for health: The heat exchange between the human body and the environment depends on the temperature of the indoor air, the air flow rate and the outdoor air temperature. By adjusting the temperature of the door and window, it is not lower than 12 ~ 13 ° C, has reached the most comfortable environment. 5, reduce noise: the use of different thickness of the insulated glass structure and thermal break aluminum profile cavity structure, can effectively reduce the resonance effect of sound waves, prevent the transmission of sound, can reduce the noise more than 30dB. 6, colorful colors: the use of anodizing, powder coating, PVDF coating surface treatment can produce aluminum profiles of different colors, after rolling combination, so that the insulated aluminum alloy doors and windows produce indoor and outdoor two-color windows of different colors.

Download this article:The advantage of thermal break aluminium windows #### The advantages of insulated glass in curtain wall The advantages of insulated glass in curtain wall Superior energy-saving effect: Modern building energy consumption is mainly air conditioning and lighting. The former accounts for 55% of energy consumption, the latter accounts for 23% of energy consumption, and glass is the thinnest and most heat-transferable material in the exterior wall of buildings. Insulated glass creates a air barrier between the exterior and indoor and the temperature insulation performance is excellent. High soundproof performance: Insulated glass can reduce noise by 27-40 decibels, and 80 dB of traffic noise outside can be decreased to only 50 dBs to indoor. Eliminate frost: The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, and the single layer of glass will frost. Insulated glass, because the inner glass that is in contact with the indoor air is affected by the air barrier, even if the outer layer contact is low, there is no condensation on the glass surface due to the temperature difference. Insulated glass dew point up to -70 ° C . Increased wind pressure resistance: The curtain wall is mainly subjected to wind loads, and the wind pressure resistance becomes the main indicator of the curtain wall. The wind-resistant strength of insulated glass is 15 times that of single glass. The glass is not easy to self-explosion: the production method of the insulated glass is the bonding method, which is cold processing, the internal stress of the original glass sheet is not changed, and the surrounding is sealed with an elastic material, and the glass is not easy to self-explosion. The glass coating does not fall off: the metal film surface of the coated glass cannot be exposed to the air for a long time, and the metal film surface of the coated insulated glass never falls off in the dry sealed air. The original glass will not burst: in the air-conditioned room, the outside of the summer single glass is exposed to the sun, collecting heat, there is a temperature difference inside and outside the glass, when the temperature difference is too large, the glass will burst. This phenomenon exists in insulated glass. The scope of application of insulated glass: doors and windows,skylights, ceilings, schools that need sound insulation, hospitals, stadiums, televisions, broadcasting studios, etc., also used in refrigeration appliances, airplanes, ships, locomotives and other fields Morn is your turnkey insulated glass manufacturer and supplier,welcome contact us for more info.

About 20% of the world’s total aluminum production is used in the construction industry. the application of novel architectural products such as colored aluminum profiles, composite aluminum plates, composite door and window frames, and aluminum alloy templates has also increased year by year. Aluminium-profile-supplier One of the main advantages of the aluminum alloy profile is corrosion resistance and durability. The aluminum profiles is widely used in environments with high humidity, acid rain, bad climate change or coastal areas. In the building structure, especially in modern high-rise civil buildings and large-scale public buildings with large spans and thin shell structures, the aluminum alloy structure has obvious advantages compared with the steel structure: Compared with steel, aluminum profiles has good plasticity and formability, and can be processed into various specifications and shapes in large quantities in cold and hot conditions by various pressure processing methods (extrusion, rolling, forging and stamping, etc.). Precision hollow, solid, constant-section, variable-section profiles, pipes, rods, plates, forgings, die forgings and punching parts, etc., and can make the cross-section of the components more reasonable. Roofing, wall, door and window, skeleton, reticulated structure, grid structure, glass curtain wall system, canopy, communication tower, pedestrian bridge, interior and exterior decorative panels, partitions, ceilings,railings for industrial and civil buildings Handrails, interior furniture, decorative materials and structural components, store containers, and construction templates are widely used and have achieved good results. As a semi-permanent structure, building aluminum profiles are essential for durability. We know that aluminum alloy profiles are divided into base materials, anodized profiles, aluminum profile electrophoretic paint profiles, powder coated aluminium profiles, PVDF coated aluminium profiles,thermal break aluminium profiles and so on. For users in coastal areas, it is best to choose electrophoretic painted aluminum profiles, powder coated aluminum profiles or PVDF aluminum profiles with good corrosion resistance. PVDF-aluminium-profile-supplier-morn   Cooperated with Huajian Aluminium,Morn is able to supply all kinds of architectural aluminium profiles for your curtain wall and windows&doors. Download this article here:The-application-of-aluminium-profiles-in-building #### The application of capillary tube in double glazed units The application of capillary tube in double glazed units Generally, both the production and installation of the insulated glass are in the same or very similar latitude range. Under the same conditions, the air pressure in the double glazed unitsis always the same as the external pressure. But when the insulating glass is made at low latitudes such as sea level and then installed at a higher latitude, if we still simply assume that the pressure inside the insulating glass is still the same as the external pressure between the two places, it cannot explain why the two pieces of double glazed units deflect outward, visually deformed, and even the l burst. This is because the pressure inside and outside the insulating glass when the insulating glass is produced is larger than the pressure at the time of mounting at a high latitude. If the pressure difference is too large and exceeds the strength of the glass itself, the hollow glass may be broken/or the structural rubber of the insulating glass may be broken, resulting in premature failure of the sealing of the insulated glass. The traditional way to solve this problem is to install a breathing tube or capillary tube on the sealing edge of the insulating glass. The function of the breathing tube and capillary tube is to continuously adjust the difference between the pressure in the air layer of the double glazed units and the external atmospheric pressure as the height changes, so that it achieves dynamic equilibrium. Previously, the approach adopted was to install a breathing tube when the height of the hollow glass window in transport exceeded 5,000 feet (about 1524 meters). Capillary-tubes-for-insulated-glass-morn   Keep in mind that the use of a “snorkel” with a large internal diameter requires sealing at the final installation to prevent premature failure of the insulating glass seal. The disadvantage of this approach is that the overall performance of the insulating structure of the insulating glazing depends on the local door and window installer, rather than in the hands of the producer of the insulating glass window. Therefore, no matter how good the quality of the insulating glass is, there is a problem if the snorkel is not sealed at the end of the installation. One way to solve the problem is to replace the breathing tube with a capillary. It can be seen from Table 1 that the inner diameter of the capillary is smaller (about 1/10 of the breathing tube) and the tube is longer than the breathing tube, so that even if the capillary is not sealed, the whole of the hollow glass after installation at a high latitude can be ensured. performance. Despite this, so far, there is no laboratory data to support this statement (the practice). In fact, there is still debate in the North American insulating glass industry about the durability and longevity of insulating glass with capillary or snorkel installed; even if the insulating glass with capillary is tested by ASTM773/774, it does not mean that the actual sealing life can be reached. 5 years. Insulated-glass-with-capillary-tube-suppliers-morn       Evaluation of the snorkel and capillaries Due to the use of argon to fill the insulating glass, one has to rethink the height limit problem seriously. The outside air is exchanged with the gas in the hollow glass through the breathing tube, and as a result, the concentration of the inert gas therein is greatly reduced within a few months after the installation of the insulating glass. When the hollow glass window filled with argon gas is transported to the mountains, in order to install the argon-filled insulating glass as much as possible in the latitude, without reducing the sealing integrity of the insulating glass, the breathing should be avoided as much as possible. tube. The durability of the insulating glass using the butyl rubber and the silicone rubber double-pass sealing structure has been demonstrated to have excellent structural integrity. In most cases, the strength of the glass itself becomes a factor in the highest latitude limit of the insulating glass. Two different cases of height limits: the altitude limit at which the insulating glass can be installed and the height limit in the transport of insulating glass. Capillary-tube-for-insulated-glass-supplier-morn Insulating glass at the height limit of mountain transportation In this case, when the cargo truck is driven by the insulating glass through the mountain road, the time of the air pressure change is relatively short. At this time, since the surface of the hollow glass on the vehicle is strong, the risk of bursting is small. If the insulating glass is installed in the window frame, the glass can flex freely outward, and when it is transported to a low latitude, the glass returns to the normal position. If only the insulating glass is transported (when the glass is only twisted together), the glass deflects outwards so that the glass “scratches” each other in contact with each other. In this case, special packaging should be used to ensure that there is enough space between the insulating glass to flex outwards to avoid bursting.

The energy consumption of doors and windows accounts for 40% to 50% of the heat loss of the building’s peripheral structure.Therefore, the development of new thermal insulation doors and windows is currently The main direction of the  window and doors industry. double-glazed-glass-units-morn   In the window, the glass area accounts for 58% to 87% of the window area. Because the thermal resistance of float glass is small, single glazing glass is a weak link for window thermal insulation. the application of insulated glass(double glazed units) is an important way to achieve energy efficient in doors and windows. The most commonly used insulated glass(double glazed units) adopts a aluminum structure. compared with monolithic glass, it has excellent properties such as heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, anti-condensation and frost condensation. There are two main types of insulated glass: one is a single sealant and the other is a double sealant.  the double sealant IGU production process is to apply butyl on both sides of the aluminum spacer filled with molecular sieve. The edges of the two pieces of glass are bonded together, and then secondary sealant between the two pieces of glass. The aluminum spacer,plays a good supporting role for the two pieces of glass as a desiccant. The molecular sieve ensures the drying of the air inside the insulated glass(double glazed units) and prolongs life of the insulated glass. CHINA GLASS SUPPLIER   As the best energy efficient building materials for windows and a mature high-tech product, insulated glass has been paid more and more attention. Some smart real estate developers have adopted insulated glass(double glazed units) with excellent sound insulation performance as a new selling point, which has attracted the attention of buyers.

Generally speaking,digitally printed glass has below advantages: 1.Digitally printed glass can be used in outdoor,no fading,same lifetime as glass. 2.Digitally printed glass can control the color transparency. 3.Digital printed glass can be further made into tempered,laminated glass,and insulated glass. What if the digital printing glass combine with the lighting in buildings? 1.Inspire inspiration and explore new dimensions of architectural lighting with the help of reflection, light and pattern elements in printed glass. The focus of lighting design is on illumination, but it does not have to be traditional. On the contrary, you can use the creative ability of glass digital printing technology, combine the color spectrum of LED lighting, and display the ambient light, making it an indispensable part of architectural lighting design. Renovated factory roof is made with digitally printed glass Perfect lighting effect combing with LED lights An renovated old factory was covered by a huge box-shaped roof, constructed from hundreds of digitally printed glass in Norway. Realistic photo images have been optimized for digital printing on glass. Backlit by over 14,000 LED lights in multiple colors, the album’s colors constantly change, creating an incredible effect and an unforgettable experience. In architectural lighting design, whether it is for natural light or artificial light, decorative glass can be perfectly applied, presenting the expected excellent effect. 2.Glass digital printing technology can fully realize the freedom of design, so that it is not restricted by color, pattern, image or size, and realizes unique and diverse architectural lighting solutions. Therefore, digital printing is an ideal solution to create functional characteristics of decorative glass, which can not only enhance visual effects, but also control light intensity and glare, and improve energy efficiency. You can create unique decorative glass elements through glass digital printing technology, allowing the glass to show subtle changes in different periods of time according to indoor and outdoor light. glass skylights with architectural glass Digital printing on glass is the way to go for a dazzling coverage or decorative ceiling that offers protection in style.

Download this article here:The combination of lighting and digital printing glass #### The defects of coated glass and solutions The defects of coated glass and solutions Off-line(soft coated) magnetron sputter coated glass can be divided into two categories: solar control glass and low e glass. The defects ratios of them are different. The following describes the defects and solutions for these two categories of products. 1. solar control glass,solar reflective glass, common defects and solutions Solar Control Coated Glass: A coated glass that has a certain control effect on sunlight with a wavelength of 350 to 1800 nm. It has the following drawbacks: Pinhole: Seen from the transmission direction of the coated glass, the transparent part or all of the film layer has no point-like defects with no adhesion to the film layer; the spot: from the transmission direction of the coated glass, the dot-like defect is darker than the overall color of the film layer. . 1.1 Pinholes and spots are formed by the following factors, and the corresponding solutions are as follows: 1.1.1 The degree of vacuum is not enough, and the adhesion of the film layer is poor. For magnetron sputter coated glass, it should be carried out under high vacuum environment, and the base pressure of the sputtering chamber should reach 4×10-2Pa to effectively coat the coating. If the degree of vacuum is not enough, the film thickness of the batch coating will be weak, and a large amount of block-like light-transmissive areas will appear when scrubbed with alcohol. In this case, only the base vacuum in the sputtering chamber is increased, and the coating can be performed if the degree of vacuum is enough. 1.1.2 The float glass is not fresh enough, and the adhesion to the film layer is poor. Due to the long storage time or poor storage conditions of the original film, the surface of the float glass is seriously polluted. Although it is cleaned by deionized water before coating, the surface contamination area cannot be completely removed, and the film structure is not strong when the coating is applied. . In this situation, it is necessary to use fresh original film, and the original film of different manufacturers has different shelf life. Even the original film of the same manufacturer has a great relationship with the season and storage environment. Therefore, for different manufacturers, different seasons have different requirements for the original film, and each coating manufacturer needs to grasp it. 1.1.3 The washing machine has insufficient cleaning ability. The cleanliness of the glass surface directly affects the quality of the coating. During the entire coating production process, the quality control is in addition to the vacuum environment. The most critical step is the cleaning of the cleaning machine. Once the cleaning ability of the washing machine is insufficient, other impurities remaining on the surface of the glass may form spot or block defects. In view of this situation, in addition to improving the performance of the cleaning equipment, the most critical issue is the maintenance of the cleaning equipment, such as whether the conveying roller is clean, whether the water quality meets the requirements, whether there is foreign matter in the air knife, and whether there are too many microorganisms in the water tank. These are all factors that affect the cleaning ability of the washing machine. 1.1.4 Cover, baffle, target slag, which is also a reason for the formation of pinholes. Since the coating production process is not a single production of a variety, when changing between different products, the target materials used are different or different materials will use different power, since the cover plate and the baffle are all metal, there are certain The thermal expansion and contraction, when the thermal expansion and contraction of the sputter material covering the surface of the expansion coefficient is different from the metal, the formation of cracks, jumping off the surface of the residual glass to form pinholes, spots. In response to this situation, once the cover, the bottom plate, etc. are loaded into the vacuum chamber, it is no longer subjectively controlled by a person. Therefore, the cover plate and the bottom plate should be thoroughly blasted before the target is placed in the vacuum chamber, and the blasting is performed to discharge the fresh section. 1.2 Scratch: Various linear scratches on the surface of the coated glass, depending on their length, width, position and distribution. There are two factors in the formation of scratches and different solutions for different reasons: 1.2.1 Scratch before coating. It is formed before the coating process for various reasons: such as the upper and lower sheets of each process, the transfer between each process, and the like. The formation of such scratches depends only on improving the subjective initiative of the operators and taking measures to actively prevent them. 1.2.2 Scratches during the coating. Caused by each piece of equipment in the coating process. There are obvious rules for scratches in the coating. The scratches must be along the speed direction and are very straight and straight without any inflection points. The scratches in the coating are divided into two types: film surface and glass surface scratching. Most of the film surface scratches are caused by the sinking of the molecular pump cover or the transfer to the gas separation plate. The scratch on the glass surface is mainly caused by too thick or thermal deformation of the T-plate between the bottom plate or the transfer roller. The heavier unpolished glass can be used to reduce or eliminate multiple coatings in the sputtering chamber. 1.3 Speckle: A cloud-like, radial or streak-like defect that occurs on the surface of the film as seen from the direction of reflection of the coated glass. There are three main reasons for the formation of markings, and there are different solutions for different reasons. 1.3.1 Cloud-like markings. Mainly due to the lack of freshness of the original film, Na+ extravasation, which is commonly known as mold. Although it has been tempered, it cannot be completely removed, so cloud-like markings are formed. In addition to ensuring the use of fresh original sheets, the expired original sheets (not too long) can be polished with polishing powder and then coated. It can improve the bonding force between the glass and the film layer to reduce the generation of markings. Of course, the original film expires too long, and the use of polishing powder is also ineffective. 1.3.2 Radial markings, mainly due to the fact that the air knife of the washing machine is not blown clean, and radial streaks appear when the coating is applied. The solution is to adjust the angle of the air knife and ensure that there is no foreign matter in the air knife. 1.3.3 Striped markings. Mainly due to the change of local air pressure in the coating machine, especially the air leakage in the inlet and outlet chambers. Due to the wide range of local air pressure changes, only relying on the experience of each manufacturer and related equipment for leak detection, exclude the rear. Can be produced normally. 1.4 Dark channel: From the direction of reflection of the coated glass, the brightness or reflection of the surface of the film is different from the overall strip-like area, and the degree of visibility depends on the difference in brightness between them and the surrounding film. Most of the dark passages are caused by arcing or tripping of one or more of the cathodes during coating. As long as the arc is avoided and the power supply and cathode are properly operated, the dark passages will not be generated. 2 low-emission coated glass        Low-emissivity coated glass, also known as low-emissivity glass, “Low-E” glass, is a coated glass with a high reflectance in the far-infrared range of 4.5μm to 25μm. As a kind of magnetron sputter coated glass, low-emission coated glass will have pinholes, streaks, scratches, dark channels and other defects like the solar control film. It has been explained in the solar control coating and will not be repeated here. However, since offline Low-E is different from sunlight film, most of them are soft films. Therefore, most of the defects are derived from the post coating process after coating, such as post-order oxidation and post-order tempering defects. 2.1 Oxidation after coating: It means that the Low-E glass is oxidized after the coating is completed because the silver in the film is contaminated by water vapor or sulfide in the air. Mainly caused by the following reasons: (1) The air humidity during production is too high, and the water content in the air is too high, especially during the rainy season. In the south from May to October each year is the season of easy oxidation of Low-E glass. In view of this situation, on the one hand, sufficient desiccant should be used when the glass is packaged, and on the other hand, the time for waiting for insulating production should be shortened as much as possible. (2) When the sweat is applied to the glass on the glove, the sweat contains a large amount of sulfide, which will react with the silver in the Low-E glass to form black silver sulfide, thereby forming oxidation. . We have experimented with the formation of oxidation in the shortest 1 hour of LoW-E glass that has been adhered to by sweat. Therefore, on the one hand, the gloves are kept dry, and on the other hand, the Low-E glass touched by the sweat is immediately cleaned and the waiting time for hollow production is shortened as much as possible. (3) Insulated glass(double glazed units) is not handled properly. Improper handling of double glazed units, such as gas leakage, molecular sieve leakage, etc., may cause oxidation of the Low-E glass after the insulating, especially the butyl sealant is not fully filled and the molecular sieve is a fatal threat to the Low-E glass. Therefore, how to improve the quality of double glazed units is a key factor to avoid the      2.2 Post tempering defects: refers to a series of defects in the subsequent processing of tempered Low-E glass. Since the tempered Low-E glass has multiple processes after the coating is completed, the processing flow is as follows: : The processing of each process may cause damage to the Low-E glass. In the production process, the longer the cycle time, the greater the probability of defects. In addition, since the surface resistances of different Low-E products are different, the heat transfer coefficient is also different. Therefore, the selection of a suitable tempering process is essential to improve the quality of the coating after Low-E glass tempering. Therefore, in addition to the coating process, the control of the temperable Low-E must be done in accordance with the corresponding measures to reduce the occurrence of defects. 3 Conclusion Whether it is a solar control film or a low-emission coated glass, as long as the cause of the defect formation is found, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of defects.

AG-glass (Anti-Glare glass) Anti-glare glass: By chemical etching or spraying, the reflective surface of the original glass is changed to a diffused surface, which changes the roughness of the surface of the glass, thereby producing a matte effect on the surface. When the outside light is reflected , it will form a diffuse reflection, which will reduce the reflection of light, and achieve the purpose of not glare, so that the viewer can experience better sensory vision. Applications: Outdoor display or display applications under strong light. Such as advertising screens, ATM cash machines, POS cash registers, medical B-displays, e-book readers, subway ticket machines, and so on. Simple identification method: Place a piece of glass under the fluorescent light and observe the tube from the front of the glass. If the light source of the lamp is dispersed, it is the AG treatment surface, and if the light source of the lamp is clearly visible, it is a non-AG surface. anti-glare-glass   AR-Anti Reflective Glass Anti-reflective glass: After the glass is optically coated, it reduces its reflectivity and increases the transmittance. The maximum value can increase its transmittance to over 99% and its reflectivity to less than 1%. By increasing the transmittance of the glass, the content of the display is more clearly presented, allowing the viewer to enjoy a more comfortable and clear sensory vision. Application areas: glass greenhouse,high-definition displays, photo frames, mobile phones and cameras of various instruments, front and rear windshields, solar photovoltaic industry, etc. Simple identification method: Take a piece of ordinary glass and an AR glass, and tie it to the computer or other paper screen at the same time. AR coated glass is more clear. anti-reflective-glass   AF coating (Anti-Fingerprint Glass) Anti-fingerprint glass: AF coating is based on the principle of lotus leaf, coated with a layer of nano-chemical materials on the surface of the glass to make it have strong hydrophobicity, anti-oil and anti-fingerprint functions. It is easy to wipe off dirt, fingerprints, oil stains, etc. The surface is smoother and feels more comfortable. Application area: Suitable for display glass cover on all touch screens. The AF coating is single-sided and is used on the front side of the glass. Simple identification method: drop a drop of water, the AF surface can be freely scrolled; draw the line with oily strokes, the AF surface can not be drawn. anti-fingerprint-glass   Morn-Your turnkey architectural glass supplier Download this article here:The-difference-between-AG-glass,AR-glass-and-AF-glass. #### The factors affecting double glazed units quality The factors affecting insulated glass(double glazed units) quality 1.Glass cleanness and dry. 2.Washing machine water temperature,water volume,water quality and purity. 3.The dirt inside double glazed units 4.Coating position. 5.Aluminium spacer bar cleanness 6.The flatness of tempered and curved glass 7.The cleanness and trimming of laminated glass before insulating. 8.Butyl quality and workmanship. 9.The insulating panels cleanness,pressure,balance, inside insulating line. 10.Secondary sealant-silicon sealant quality.

But just how strong are glass used in the glass bridge? And are they entirely safe for commercial application?What’s the right glass combination used in this kind of glass bridge? GLASS BRIDGE IN CHINA   Several factors affect the strength of a glass floor, but most important ,is the type of glass used and the amount of support for the glass. Glass floors are almost always made of laminated glass,beside laminating process, heat strengthened laminated glass or toughened laminated glass are also used to increase the glass floor overall strength. Heat strengthened glass is roughly twice as strong as annealed glass, while toughened glass can be five times stronger than normal float glass. However, the tensile stresses within toughened glass mean that it can be vulnerable to short sharp shocks, particularly around the edges. And when tempered glass breaks, it shatters entirety and break into numerous small particles. Laminated glass is made by bonding two or more layers of glass and PVB or SGP interlayer, so even if one pane breaks, the glass will remain in place.So even though a layer of toughened glass break won’t seriously compromise the safety of a glass floor in the short term, it would certainly be costly to replace.But for floor application,SGP interlayer is used as its remained sustain strength will be enough to support the glass and avoid glass collapse. For this reason, heat strengthened laminated glass or tempered laminated glass are the preferred option for glass floors. The thickness of the glass needed for a glass floor will depend on the amount of support provided by the structure and the widths the glass has to span. For larger areas, glass floors will usually be supplied as multiple panels rather than a single unit. This keeps the weight (and cost) of the glass floor down. Glass floors generally tend to work out around twice as strong as their wooden counterparts, owing to both the inherent strength of the glass itself, plus the additional support structure that secures it in place. China has issued glass standards that used in outdoor structural glass skywalk and glass bridges:GB/T38784-2020 SUSPENDED FLOOR,STAIRS,TRAILS AND PLANK ROAD GLASS The recommended glass combination for glass bridge are: Low iron tempered glass+1.52SGP interlayer+Low iron tempered glass+1.52SGP interlayer+Low iron tempered glass The glass thickness can be 8mm,10mm,12mm and even thicker to ensure safety,of course the price is increasing with glass overall thickness. Below video shows how strong the glass is with this combination. Morn is your turnkey laminated glass for glass bridge supplier and exporter,welcome contact us for more info. Download this article here:The-glass-combination-for-glass-bridge #### The history of glass The history of glass The glass is originally obtained by solidification of acidic rocks ejected from volcanoes. Around 3,700 BC, the ancient Egyptians had made glass ornaments and simple glassware. At that time, only colored glass was produced. About 1000 BC, China made colorless glass. In the 12th century AD, commercial glass appeared and began to become an industrial material. In the 18th century, optical glass was produced to meet the needs of developing telescopes. In 1873, Belgium first produced flat glass. In 1906, the United States produced a flat glass lead machine. Thereafter, with the industrialization and scale of glass production, glass of various uses and various properties has been successively introduced. Modern, glass has become an important material in daily life, production and science and technology. More than 3,000 years ago, a European Phoenician merchant ship was loaded with crystal mineral “natural soda” and sailed on the Beruth River on the Mediterranean coast. The merchant ship was stranded due to the tide of the sea. The crew then boarded the beach. Some crew members also carried a large pot, moved firewood, and used several “natural soda” as a scoop for the cauldron to cook on the beach. After the crew had finished eating, the tide began to rise. When they were preparing to pack up and continue sailing, suddenly someone shouted: “Let’s see, there are some bright, glittering things on the sand below the pot!” The crew brought these flashing things to Study it on the boat. They found that these sparkling things have some quartz sand and melted natural soda. It turns out that these glittering things are the natural soda that they used to make the pots when cooking, and the crystals produced by the chemical reaction with the quartz sand on the beach under the action of flames. This is the earliest glass. Later, the Phoenicians combined the quartz sand with the natural soda and then melted it with a special stove to make a glass ball, which made the Phoenicians make a fortune. Glass-relic-morn Around the 4th century, the Romans began applying glass to doors and windows. By 1291, Italy’s glass manufacturing technology was very developed. “Our glass manufacturing technology must not be leaked out, and all the craftsmen who manufacture glass are concentrated together to produce glass!” In this way, Italian glass craftsmen were sent to an isolated island to produce glass, they lived in a lifetime. It is not allowed to leave this island. In 1688, a man named Naf invented the process of making large pieces of glass. Since then, glass has become an ordinary item. colorful-glass-supplier-morn-building-materials   The glass we use today is made of quartz sand, soda ash, feldspar and limestone at high temperatures. A non-crystalline solid material obtained by gradually increasing the viscosity of the melt during cooling. Slightly brittle and transparent. There are quartz glass, silicate glass, soda lime glass, fluoride glass and the like. Usually referred to as silicate glass, quartz sand, soda ash, feldspar and limestone as raw materials, after mixing, high temperature melting, homogenization, processing and forming, and then obtained by annealing. Widely used in construction, daily use, medical, chemical, electronic, instrumentation, nuclear engineering and other fields. windows-glass-double-glazed-units   Download this article here:The-history-of-glass #### The ideal glass combination for glass conservatory Glass conservatory,also named as glass sun room,glass winter garden.The sun room adopts a non-traditional building constructed with glass and metal frames to achieve the purpose of enjoying the sun and being close to nature.

China glass processing manufacturer-glass factory What a good architectural glass vendor can do for you? Offering suggestion to decrease the your purchasing costs. A good supplier can help on many aspects to help you finishing the purchasing within budget without satisfying the quality.Here are some samples: Curtain wall segment &Glass size:Curtain wall segment and glass sizes affect the final price,higher glass cutting waste will cause 10-20% higher price.The most common float glass panel size here are 2140/2440*3300/3660,if final size is 1250*1850,there’ll be 25% waste even if cutting with special more expensive 4580*3300mm,but slight changes to 1200*1820,glass waste will be decrease to only 2%. unitized glass curtain wall installation-morn-china Glass combination:Raw materials replacement from international brands to local brands.International brands means high quality and of course high price.Saflex Vanceva colorful PVB is 4-5 times than that of China local brands,why cannot we change to to cheaper ones under the same 5 years warranty time? Laminated insulated glass saved costs are based on keep high quality and warranty time.Some processors choose to use inferior raw materials,for example poor quality float glass,non-standard interlayer thickness,decreased secondary sealant depth for insulating glass to decrease glass overall costs.This will harm the reputation and affect your facade quality. Evaluate glass processing difficulty to avoid possible problem. Some architects are not familiar with glass processing technology and sometimes have unreasonable requirement on glass combination.For example,Japanese architects insist on non tempered laminated glass for glass fin, and require heat soak test for all toughened glass.These unreasonable requirement made glass processors hard to process and sometimes it’s difficult to find a glass factory that can process the special glass . glass installation-MORN BM Morn was involved in some projects designed by Japanese Architects. Facade glass: 8 Triple silver low-E tempered heat soaked +11.52mm heat soaked laminated insulating glass. All shaped glass with notches, length varies from 1000-8500mm. Mistake 1: Oversized glass require thicker glass.Glass length over 5000mm should be at least 8mm. Mistake 2: Low iron Triple silver low-E coating is delicate: Mixed sizes,shaped glass,notches,heat soak process,all these process prolong the time coating exposing in the air,the notches need water jet cutting also brings difficulty. Mistake 3: FT +FT, HS+HS,FT+HS, 12A,16A,mixed combinations,mixed lengths,mixed thickness,this will decrease glass processing efficiency significantly and easy to make mistake during processing. insulated glass production-bystronic glass Glass Fin：15+1.52PVB+15+1.52PVB+15 non tempered laminated glass with holes,Max size up to 13500mm. Mistake 1: Non tempered glass strength is low,easy to break during process. Mistake 2: Non tempered glass has low temperature resistance,when taking glass out of autoclave,the temperature decrease will easily cause glass breakage. Mistake 3: Non tempered laminated glass final costs is 2-3 times that of tempered laminated glass because of extremely low finished glass ratio. All these problems increased many times processing difficulty,cause several times higher costs,most important is,there’s almost no factories dare to take the risk accepting the orders and process. all glass curtain wall installation site Good glass supplier will analysis and evaluate the order difficulty before accepting orders and offer constructive suggestions,not only simplify the process,but decrease the risks in following delivery,installation.

Maintaining argon gas that has been filled into the interior of the double glazed units glass for a long time is very beneficial for maintaining good performance of the insulated glass and prolonging the life of the insulated glass (more than 15 years).learn more:What’s the function of argon gas in argon filled insulated glass? argon-filled-insulated-glass-manufacturer-morn   The argon gas filled in the qualified IGU is not leaking more than 1% per year. Thus, if the initial concentration of argon gas charged into the insulated glass is 85% or more, the argon gas concentration inside the insulated glass is still 60% or more after 15 years, and the IGU still has relatively excellent performance. However, many of the argon filled IGU factory measure that the argon content more than 85%, but after a while, it is found that the argon content is reduced or there is no argon. Uses can check the argon content with some tools effectively: https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/insulated-glass-argon-content-measurement-test.mp4 There are usually several reasons for this: 1. Quality problems of insulating sealant. Insulated glass is a sealed space composed of PIB, structural rubber double-pass seal, glass and spacer. Butyl rubber and secondary sealant play the role of double-channel sealing. If one of the butyl rubber and the structural rubber or one of the structural adhesives is of poor quality, the sealing performance of the insulated glass will not be improved. This leads to an increase in the argon leakage rate inside the insulated glass. 2. There is a problem with the glue coating process. The butyl rubber applied to the spacers should be uniform, without unevenness and breakage. Special care must be taken to ensure that the coated butyl rubber has sufficient width and sufficient thickness (thickness is often overlooked). The structural adhesive is the second seal of the insulated glass, and the thickness of the adhesive is also uniform and sufficient to maintain a sufficient thickness. 3. There is an unsealed point on the spacer frame. The four corners of the spacer frame made of gussets must be sealed with butyl rubber. The joint of the straight insert of the integral bending frame, the inflation hole, etc., where the seal may occur, should also be blocked with butyl rubber. 4. In the process of manufacturing IGU, or just finished IGU handling (especially large IGU) is also a factor that is prone to air leakage. 5, LOW-E and other coated glass in addition to the film is not good, resulting in gas leakage on the bonding surface. 6. The surface of the glass or spacer strip is not clean or oily, which may cause air leakage on the glue joint.

The glass can only be processed to the required shape before tempering, and then tempered.Because of this feature,customer shall be very carefully before placing order,to ensure that the glass size is 100% accurate,or the produced glass will be wasted ,and cannot be used any more.The only solution is to break it and used for float glass re-production. tempered glass breakage 2.Glass self explosion Although the strength of tempered glass is stronger than that of float glass and heat strengthened, tempered glass has the possibility of self-explosion when the temperature difference changes greatly (the automatic explosion of tempered glass without direct mechanical external force is called self-explosion of tempered glass), while float glass and heat strengthened glass do not .According to industry experience, the spontaneous breakage rate of tempered glass is about 3~5‰. Spontaneous breakage is an inherent characteristic of tempered glass. The method to reduce the breakage ratio of tempered glass is heat soak test in glass factory,or change the glass to be low iron glass that contains lower Nis and iron in glass. 3.Tempered glass flatness There will be unevenness on the surface of the tempered glass, and the thickness will be slightly thinner than the thickness before tempering. The reason for the thinning is that after the glass is melted and softened, it is quickly cooled by strong wind, so that the crystal gap inside the glass becomes smaller and the pressure becomes larger, so the glass is thinner after tempering than before. Generally, 4-6MM glass becomes 0.2-0.8MM thinner after tempering, and 8-20MM glass becomes 0.9-1.8MM thinner after tempering. The specific level depends on the equipment, which is why tempered glass cannot be used as a mirror. 4.Tempered glass weak corners The middle part of the tempered glass is the strongest, and the four corners and edges are the weakest. Once the edges or corners are hit, the whole piece of glass is easily broken.

Its building facade even includes the top are glass structures. Because the room require light and ventilated,as well as good sealing effect,the sun room facade and the top are mostly composed of openable doors and windows. The quality of the door and window determines the success of the sun room construction. When designing and building the sun room, the overall shape and structure of the sun room for different purposes should be determined according to the constraints of the surrounding environment and the site. Glass-conservatory The types of sunrooms can be divided into two types:in the low-rise and low-density residential courtyards and the top platform of the apartment,considering the limitations of the building’s appearance and the ease of cleaning and maintenance of the top. The design requirements for the sun room in the location are quite different. Conservatory can be divided into three types: ordinary type, casual type, and functional type. The common type is mostly used as a small flower house to raise some flowers and fish. Because of the good lighting and ventilation, it is very suitable for the survival and growth of plants. ALUMINIUM-STRUCTURE-SUNROOM The leisure sun room is a mid-range sun room. This type of sun room is larger than the average type, and the structure is much better, which is very suitable for villas and private courtyards. Together with the beautiful sunshade, you can become a leisure house by opening the window, where you can place table, fitness equipment and other entertainment and leisure products. On summer evenings, you can lie on the lounge chair and look up at the stars. Sunroom-aluminium-and-glass-supplier The functional sun room is high end sun room. The design and construction technology standard is relatively high, so it is called functional, because it can be used exclusively in special spaces such as hospitality rooms, small restaurants, study rooms or children’s entertainment rooms. Because it is built with higher technical standards, there is no need to worry that the problems of the house itself will affect the specific use. This type of sun room is generally a wood or pure wood frame, plus a multi-layer sun board and laminated insulated glass, solid wood or aluminum-clad wood doors and windows. If you choose plastic steel window, the sealing effect will be better than other doors and windows. This type of sun room can be equipped with special ventilation and shading system to make it more functional and more convenient and practical to use later. Sunroom glass supplier These types of sunrooms can be styled according to the theme of the building, and can be used in a variety of colors and shapes depending on personal preference. For example, the roof that uses the sun slab as the main material of the roof can be curved, octagonal, ridged, and sloped. The glass is used as the main material, and the roof is mostly ridge type, octagonal type and one side slope. Type.

Just like the greenhouse diffused glass,if the glass is just normal clear or low iron glass,the greenhouse structures will create shadow and affect the overall light transmittance,while when frosted glass,or we call it diffused glass is applied in greenhouse, the light going into the greenhouse will eliminate the shadows and increase the overall light transmittance,result in increased fruit output. How to make frosted glass? As we mentioned above that the frosted glass has uneven glass surface,so key points to make frosted glass is to make the glass surface uneven and make the reflected lights diffused.Here we introduce some methods to make frosted glass. Sandblasted glass Sandblasting is a kind of work that uses compressed air as the power to push the abrasive to the glass surface.The glass surface is damaged and form a uneven glass surface. The advantage of sandblasted glass is price,sandblasted glass processing is just USD2/SQM in ChinaBut the shortage is,but as the emery diameter is big,sandblasted glass surface is very rough,and looks very ugly .The sandblasted glass processing will also cause air pollution,big noise and harmful to the workers,that’s the reason China is eliminating this behindhand production.,it’s usually used as insulated glass inner panels and other areas that don’t care about glass appearance and beauty. sandblasted-glass-supplier-morn-bm   Acid etched glass Different from physical methods to make frosted glass,acid etched glass is to use chemical methods to make frosted glass.The production procedure is below: (1) Washing and drying: Firstly, the flat glass to be produced frosted glass is washed with water to remove dust and stains, and then dried; (2) Hoisting: Put the cleaned and dried flat glass on the hoisting rack, the part of the hoisting rack in contact with the glass is cushioned with a tooth-shaped rubber bracket, and the glass is discharged vertically, with a certain distance between the glass and the glass. (3) Acid etching process: Use a crane to immerse the glass together with the glass rack into the acid etching pools,the glass will be immerse in high strong acid for 5-10 minutes. (4) Softening: After drenching the remaining acid, there is a layer of residue on the frosted glass, after softening process in the softening pool for 1-2 minutes to remove the residue; (5) Cleaning: Due to corrosion and softening, the frosted glass body contains many chemical substances, so it must be cleaned. (6) The cleaned frosted glass is put into the drying room to dry, and it becomes single-sided or double-sided frosted glass. Compared with sandblasted glass,the acid etched glass surface is much more smooth. So it’s used in high end areas for example glass partition, glass tables,shower door glass. acid-etched-glass-supplier Through acid etching processing,manufactures can cover partial glass and create unique patterns on glass surface,or make the glass partial acid etched. By controlling the time of acid etching ,acid etch glass factories can also produce anti slip glass which has bigger dots or patterns on glass surface and prevent falling down. anti slip glass staircase-acid etched glass Acid etched glass price is about USD5/SQM higher than normal glass,Even though acid etched glass is perfect,it’s shortage still exist,the to make the waste acid more environmental friendly,factories have to use large amount of waters and chemical compoments to treat the wastes,that’s the reason why there’s only several limited acid etched glass manufacturers in China. Translucent glass film. All the methods we mentioned are finished in factory,if the glass is already installed,how customers can turn the existing already installed glass frosted glass? Translucent film is perfect solution! The PET film thickness varies from 0.3um to 2mm,customers has many options to select,whether it’s pure white ,translucent,the patterns are also flexible and customers can decide whatever patterns they want.Once the film is no longer useful,people can easily remove it and change to another pattern. One more advantage of the film is,the company or shop logo can be engraved on the film and build reputation. Here is the procedure to install the frosted films on your shops or glass partition: Film sticking tools: ruler, scissors or utility knife, wet towel, scraper. Use a ruler and utility knife or scissors to cut the film to the size of each position to be pasted (it is recommended to write down the size with a pen and paper) Clean the place where you want to stick the film with a towel, and then spray the surface of the glass with a watering can (in order to move the film after sticking it, it will not be fixed and unable to move). Remove the frosted glass film from the bottom paper, paste it where you want to paste, align the edges and corners, and level them. Use a wet towel to smooth the edges and wipe out the air and moisture between the glass and the film (inside) .If the matte film is relatively large, don’t remove all the bottom paper, you can remove the bottom paper while sticking. After leveling, after getting most of the air and water, scrape it with a scraper to scrape out all the air, bubbles, and water. Don’t use too much force, as long as you can completely scrape out the water and water. Air will do. After wiping off the water, please do not clean and move for 12-24 hours (the time depends on the weather, 12-24 is sunny and the sun is out). Customers can also choose the film with glues at film back,the installation will be much easier.But to remove the film,please heat the film with hair dryer to soft the glue and avoid remained glue on glass surface. Silk Screen frosted glass Silk screen glass is to apply the ceramic frit inks on the glass surface by silk screen and the tempering process will bond the inks to the glass permanently. The ceramic inks used are usually pure colors ,after silk printing,glass will become opaque.The inks used to produce frosted silk screen glass is quite different,it’s translucent and similar effect as acid etched glass. There’s also special inks used to produce anti slip glass through silk screen process. Silk screen frosted glass is perfect if the glass requirement is small,there’s only few acid etch glass factories in China,so if customers want just several piece acid etched glass,the inland logistic fees and costs will be really high,by silk screen process,the quantity is flexible and customers can also bespoke the patterns they want,while the silk screen process price is almost same as acid etched glass,the only extra costs is the screen plate fees. Translucent interlayer used in laminated glass. Despite physical and chemical methods on single glass surface,for laminated glass,customs can choose translucent PVB or SGP interlayer to make laminated glass frosted glass.But laminated glass price is always higher than same thickness monolithic glass,so translucent PVB laminated glass requirement are always 6.38mm,8.38mm which has low price and high cost performance. Patterned glass. Patterned glass,to be strict it’s not frosted glass,but it does have uneven surface and also works as privacy glass to protect customers privacy.Jinjing glass offer hundreds of pattern options.For example the mistlite patterned glass,Nashiji patterned glass,aqualite patterned glass,masterlite patterned glass,all these glass can be used in interior decoration and replace traditional frosted glass. Unlucky for the Covid-19 reason,and the huge solar glass requirement in China,the supply capability of patterned glass is limited,and only limited patterns are available.Clients need to wait long time to get the patterns they want.

Download this article here:The ultimate guide for frosted glass &translucent glass #### Thermal insulation function of low e coating In the mid-1970s, it was discovered that most of the heat transfer of double glazing was caused by infrared radiation exchange from one layer of glass to another. Therefore, as long as the emissivity of any one of the double glazing is reduced, the heat transfer can be greatly reduced. This is the reason for LOW-E glass. There is data showing that the clear float glass has an emissivity of 0.84 and the low e coated glass with an emissivity of 0.2 reduces the radiation exchange rate by 3/4, so the U value also decreases. When the glass thickness is 4mm and the air thickness is 12mm, U value is about 2.8W/(m2*k). If the LOW-E is applied, the glass U value is reduced to 1.8 W/(m2*k). ). china-double-silver-low-e-manufacturer-morn   The advantages of LOW-E are obvious. Since the coating is very thin, it is transparent to the short-wave radiation, allowing ultraviolet rays and visible light to pass substantially, and is opaque to long-wave infrared radiation. In winter, the indoor heat energy is kept, making it difficult to radiate outward, and in the summer, a large amount of heat radiation emitted from the outdoor high temperature is reflected back, making it difficult to enter the room, so that “warm winter and cool summer”. LOW-E is divided into online LOW E and offline LOW E. Generally speaking, the quality of online LOW-E is relatively stable, and it is not as easy to oxidize and fail as offline. LOW E The shortcoming is that the U value is not as good as offline. If you want to improve the heat insulation effect by improving coating thickness, the glass color will be Rapidly deepen, the light transmittance is greatly reduced. Offline LOW-E has good thermal insulation and must be used in double glazed units(insulated glass).The offline low e is easily oxidized, resulting in a decrease in transparency. Both online and offline have their own advantages and disadvantages. double-glazed-units-supplier-morn-building-materials   The high quality LOW-E can last for more than 10 years, but it is too short compared to the decades of construction. Especially the offline LOW-E, which is easy to oxidize, because whether it is to change the glass or replace the glass frame will bring great trouble to the daily use of the building. So double glazed units(insulated glass) quality is quite important when making glass purchasing decision. low-e-glass-supplier-china-morn   Morn offers 10 years quality warranty for all insulated glass and 5 years for laminated glass.

Glass itself is brittle material and easy to broken under impact,broken glass will have sharp corners and cause injury,especially thin glass panels.Through all kinds of strengthening process,glass become stronger and avoid possible injury.Methods to increase glass strength include thermally tempered glass and chemically tempered glass.Then what’s the difference between thermally tempered glass and chemically tempered glass? Thermally tempered glass:The principle is to heat the glass to a suitable temperature(670-720℃) and then cool it quickly, causing the glass surface to shrink sharply and form compressive stress. However, the glass middle area cools slower and formed tensile stress , which makes the glass obtain higher strength. Generally speaking, the higher the cooling strength, the greater glass strength. glass thermally tempering process Chemically strengthened glass:The process is sink glass into 400℃ alkali salt solution ,then glass surface will have chemically exchange between small radius ions in glass and larger radius ions in the solution. For example, lithium ions in the glass are exchanged with potassium or sodium ions in the solution, and sodium ions in the glass are exchanged with potassium ions in the solution. The difference in the volume of alkali ions is used to form intercalation stress on glass surface. The amount of large ions squeezed into the surface of the glass is proportional to the surface pressure, so the amount and depth of ion exchange decide the final strengthening performance.

Thermochromic smart glass can be combined with normal PVB interlayer to make solar shading and thermal insulation safety laminated glass. thermochromic laminated glas-color varies with temperature It is specially designed for architecture, which increases the sun-shading function of the architectural glass itself and saves the use of sun-shading materials. It can also perceive changes in the outside temperature to automatically change the appearance of the building, enhance the two-way performance of heat insulation, and give traditional buildings more low-carbon and smarter characteristics. building appearance changed for temperature reason The main function of the thermochromic PVB is to absorb the solar radiation and change color ,work as a barrier to prevent solar radiation transfer the glass.Then what’s the real performance of the thermochroic smart glass?

It shows that the solar heat is transmitted directly into the PVB room, while the STG room blocks the solar heat from the outside. (2) The temperature in the two rooms in the morning is constantly rising. The maximum indoor temperature difference between the TSG room and the PVB room is 14°C;  The average temperature difference throughout the day is about 10°C. (3) This kind of closed doors and windows is unlikely to occur in summer in real life.

As a result, the visible light transmittance of TSG is reduced by about 4%. At this time, the indoor illuminance is only 39.5% of the outdoor. (2) When the doors and windows are closed in summer, the temperature of the outer surface of the TSG room is 10.6°C higher than that of the PVB room’s top glass, and the average temperature of the south glass is 3.8°C higher. 3.4 Inner glass temperature Time7:309:0011:0013:0015:0017:00Average PVB South32.642.453.757.856.150.749.38 TSG South3037.247.852.351.64744.95 PVB Top36.753.36767.16355.458.35 TSG Top33.447.160.261.757.550.952.7 Inner glass temperature Conclusion: (1) The average temperature of the glass inner surface of the TSG room, whether it is the top surface or the south facade, is always 3~6℃ lower than that of the PVB room. (2) The temperature of the inner surface of the TSG room glass is always lower than outer, while the temperature of the inner surface of the PVB room glass is always higher than outer. Test result: The solar radiation intensity of the TSGroom in summer is only 25%of that of the PVB room, indicating that TSG can significantly reduce the solar radiation incident into the room and increase people’s physical comfort. TSGcan significantly reduce the intensity of glare. It can reduce the intensity of glare by about 62% at noon when the light is strongest in summer, ensuring soft indoor light and increasing visual comfort. In summer, the maximum temperature difference between the TSGroom and the PVB room is 14℃, indicating that STG has a significant energy-saving effect when used in a glass conservatory. The highest external surface temperature of TSG in summer is 66.6°C, which is 32.3°C higher than the outdoor temperature, andis similar to the 30°C temperature rise in the winter test, and the effect of changing the color tone is also similar. However, at this time, the TSGtemperature is higher, the color is deeper, and the visible light transmittance is lower, which effectively improves the indoor lighting quality. The temperature of the inner surface of the glass of the TSGroom is 3~6℃ lower than that of the PVB room, and the temperature of the inner surface is always lower than the temperature of the outer surface, effectively blocking the solar heat.

When the Ever Given, one of the largest container ships in the world, blocked the Suez Canal in March 2021, it disrupted the global supply chain. LLoyd’s List forecasted the delayed goods will cost US$400 million each hour, and every day the canal remains blocked will affect an additional US$9 billion worth of trade.  Image Source The Ever Given was eventually dislodged after six days, which is a long time in the context of global trade. A rise in oil prices was attributed to the incident, and markets already suffering a shortage were further pushed to the brink of collapsing.    The six-day blockage of the Suez Canal, where 12% of global trade goes through, and its impact on the global economy shows how critical shipping routes are for global trade. The Suez Canal is just one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. There are a handful of other major shipping routes that serves as the backbone of global trade. The Suez Canal As evident in the Ever Given incident in 2021, the Suez Canal plays a critical role in the global economy. Located north east of Egypt, it connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, making it the shortest route from Europe to Asia. Its construction was completed in 1869 and it has been among the heaviest-used shipping routes ever since, seeing around 52 ships passing per day.   The canal is so narrow that it cannot accommodate two-way traffic, but a $10-billion expansion project is expected to double its capacity and triple its annual revenue by 2023. Today, the Suez Canal accounts for 12% of global trade and USD$1 trillion worth of goods per annum.   It’s been blocked a few times in history, and plenty of cargo ships always get stranded when it does. During the start of the Six Day War, fifteen ships got stuck in the canal and had to go around the Cape of Good Hope just to reach their destination.    The English Channel With an average of 500 ships passing through it every day, the English Channel is the busiest shipping route in the world. The channel links the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, wherein ships carry 22% of the United Kingdom’s imports from the European Union and 30% the other way around. It’s accountable for a quarter of all trade between the EU and UK, making it a critical route.    The English Channel is also home to the Dover Strait, the world’s busiest shipping lane. Despite being the narrowest part of the English Channel, the strait is used by 400 ships every day – which includes not just cargo ships but also cruise ships and ferryboats. The Strait of Malacca Serving as the primary route into and out of Asia, the Strait of Malacca is one of the most important shipping routes in the world. The strait provides the shortest path between the Pacific and the Indian Ocean, linking Asian economies like China, India, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. It’s part of the Maritime Silk Road, which further speaks to its importance in global trade.   Above 83,000 seafaring vessels pass through the Strait of Malacca, which equates to 40% of sea traffic in the world. Furthermore, it’s also the shortest route between the Persian Gulf and Asia, making it a major shipping route for energy products. Around a quarter of all the oil transported by sea passes through the Strait of Malacca. The Panama Canal Cutting the transit time between the Pacific and the Atlantic ocean from 67 days to just 10 hours, the Panama Canal is a critical shipping route for global trade. The canal links Asia to the US East Coast, seeing about 14,000 ships and more than USD$270 billion worth of cargo passing through annually.   The USA is accountable for the largest volume of cargo passing through the canal with 69% of total shipping coming from the country.  The Danish Straits   Comprised by the channels Øresund, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt, the Danish Straits links the Baltic Sea to the North Sea. It serves as a critical shipping route for trade between Russia and Europe. In 2016, around 3.2 million barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum passed through the straits, making it an essential shipping route for Russia’s crude oil exports. A smaller volume of oil from the UK and Norway also passed through the shipping route to Scandinavia in the same year. Conclusion Man-made or natural, these shipping routes are necessary for global trade and economy to remain afloat. Ocean freight shipping remains and will remain the most efficient way of transporting goods between large distances for a long time, and this means these shipping routes will remain critical. The straits, canals, and channels will continue to be developed in order to support the growing global economy. #### Torre Avancer Project Name:Torre Avancer Project Type:Glass facade Location:Mexico ,2019-2020 Glass Type:6mm Single silver low-E on bronze tinted glass+12A+6mm clear tempered glass, 7000sqm #### Trading companies in Qingdao Trading companies in Qingdao Anyone in the glass industry is very familiar with Qingdao as you’ll always receive emails from trading companies everyday. At least 200 glass trading companies are located in Qingdao,export over 50% of China glass, their business are comprehensive with incredible low price. But,most of their business is simple clear,laminated sheets and tempered glass which account over 80% of total sales.Why? Lack of experience&knowledge about processed glass. Most of them just compete price on simple products for years,the profit can be only 1-3%. as a result ,staff retention ratio is high because of low profit and intensive competition. New staffs are usually new graduated students,lack of experience. Lack of factories’ support. For over 10 years,most Shandong glass fabricators rely on trading companies to grow up,processing simple tempered and laminated sheets day after day. There’s no fabricators who is specializing in high end facade glass in Shandong. Southern China fabricators has account over 80% of high end glass export.With the quick development of Hongkong,Southeast Asian countries,South China ones developed very quick with high end facade orders from there.

Triple silver low e coating is the newest and best glass coating of human beings and possible to be the last generation energy efficient glass coatings for its ultimate performance. Triple-silver-low-e-performance-data Features of triple silver low-E: Low SHGC (Solar heat gain coefficient) The LSG of single silver low e is around 1.4,while double silver one can be over 1.6-2,triple silver low e LSG can reach 2.2 or even more. Which means that under the same light transmittance, triple one can reach lower SC value and transfer the lighting to cold light,allow much less solar radiation through the glass. High light transmittance. Light transmittance is kept 60-70% while keeping low SHGC,the coating can be applied in everywhere,both high altitude cold areas and low altitude hot areas. triple silver insulating glass-glass facade project Low Glass U value Insulating glass with triple silver low-E has low thermal conductivity,typical U value for 6-12-6 is 1.6W/M2.K,in addition to more thermal insulation measurement, for example ,argon filing, warm edge spacer,triple glazed units,the glass U value reach 1.0W/m2.k or even less to prevent heat through the glass. High processing difficulty. Compared with traditional coating products,Triple silver low-E coating is made with 13 or even more layers,the extremely low thermal absorb make it difficult to be tempered.The glass is hard to be heating to the required tempering temperature and easy to cause glass flatness problem. The coating also require very short processing time from unpacking to been made into insulating glass. These shortage bring difficulty in production and it’s difficult to find a good triple silver low-E glass manufacturer in China. triple silver low-E coated glass-solarban 70XL-CHINA   Why Leed projects select triple silver low-E insulating glass?

The cracking of the glass may cause the glass fragments to fall off and hurt people. It may also cause the whole glass to fall off and hurt people. The unreasonable reflection of sunlight, especially the reflection of strong light by high reflective glass is also one of the unsafe factors. Due to the shedding of the glass, and sometimes the detachment of the entire curtain wall, the main reason of the accident is the improper use of the glass or the improper installation of the glass. Major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen are developing safety regulations to regulate the use of glass curtain walls. pointed-supported-glass-curtain-wall-morn-building-materials   Analysis of the causes of glass bursting and falling off The main reason for the glass to burst and fall off is the problem of improper glass selection or glass installation. First, the glass is fragile. There are many micro-cracks on the surface of the glass, which causes the strength of the glass to be much lower than its theoretical strength. It is easy to cause the glass to burst when it is used. Secondly, the glass exposes the sharp edge at the broken edge. Or sharp corners are also very easy to cause harm to people; third, glass, especially glass curtain walls are generally installed in more exposed parts, easy to breakage. In addition to the effect of artificial external force, the explosion of glass has the following aspects: First, the thermal cracking of glass, especially the heat-absorbing glass and heat-reflecting glass form an uneven temperature field on the surface of the glass when exposed to sunlight. Thereby forming a thermal stress in the glass, when the thermal stress exceeds the allowable range of the strength of the glass, and bursting; second, after the wind is subjected to the wind load, that is, the wind pressure, the force of the wind pressure exceeds the allowable range of the strength of the glass to burst. Third, the self explosion of the tempered glass, fourth, the glass is installed with large stresses, and the glass also bursts with time; fifth, the glass is damaged or cracked before or during installation. When it is subjected to other external impacts, it bursts; sixth, it breaks or bursts under the influence of other factors such as earthquakes, ice and snow. The cracked glass may fall off and become an unsafe factor. glass-conservatory-China-morn   Measures to improve glass safety The most effective measure to ensure glass safety is to prevent glass from bursting; secondly to prevent glass from falling off; and third, to prevent light pollution from the glass. To prevent glass from cracking, consider the following aspects: (1) Reasonably choose the glass size. The larger the glass area, the easier it is to burst. For the determination of the area, refer to JGJ102-96 “Technical Specifications for Glass Curtain Wall Engineering”. (2) Try to use heat treated glass, tempered glass and heat strengthened glass. The strength of tempered glass is 3-5 times that of normal clear float glass, which can effectively resist the impact of wind and snow load and foreign objects, but there is a problem of self explosion of tempered glass. Although the strength of the heat strengthened glass is only about half of that of the tempered glass, there’s no self explosion possibility. glass-tempering-furnace-china-morn   (3) When the heat absorbing glass and the reflective glass are used in the curtain wall facing the sun, the original piece of the glass is preferably heat treated. Because the glass in this part is very susceptible to thermal cracking. (4) using polished glass. Polished-edge-glass-shower-door-morn   (5) Do not leave assembly stress on the glass when installing the glass. Construction according to relevant specifications, to minimize glass deformation. The measures to prevent the glass from falling off are: (1) Select laminated glass. Laminated glass and tempered glass are called safety glass. Because of the existence of a plastic organic intermediate layer material, the laminated glass can be fixed to the frame while broken, and does not fall off, especially the roof is made of glass roof, high-rise buildings, and prosperous Laminated glass must be used for the glass on the commercial street. laminated-glass-production-china-morn   (2) Use towel glass. The towel glass is a layer of organic transparent film adhered to the surface of the glass, which also maintains a whole when broken. (3) Try not to choose the full hidden frame glass curtain wall, and choose the semi-hidden curtain wall. In the selection of structural glue and construction, the hidden frame curtain wall should pay special attention to the quality of the structural sealant, the compatibility with the glass and the frame, and the treatment of the surface of the frame glass. The most effective way to prevent the contamination of the glass is to choose a low reflectivity coated glass. The reflectivity is generally not more than 30%.

The importance of windows&doors Building doors and windows can cooperate with the walls to play a good thermal insulation effect, reduce the energy loss in the room, and play a vital role in building energy conservation and emission reduction. In the building envelope, the door and window system occupies 1/6 of the total surface area, but the energy lost through doors and windows is 6 times that of walls, 5 times that of the roof, and 20 times that of the ground, accounting for about 50% of envelope total energy consumption. Windows and doors occupy a small proportion of the overall envelope,but it’s weakest point of building energy efficiency because of high thermal conductivity. For all glass curtain wall ,and high rise buildings with glass curtain wall, glass account at least 70% of overall envelope,the windows&doors thermal insulation performance decide the overall building energy consumption. Passive house with high performance windows High Performance energy-saving glass   High performance energy saving glass emerged with the development of glass processing,glass coating technology,Materials technology to cope with the higher and high energy used in keeping indoor temperature.

Spacer materials:From traditional aluminium spacer,stainless spacer,warm edge spacer,composite warm edge spacer to TPSinsulated glass. Glass make up:From monolithic glass to insulated glass,triple glass units,and then vaccum glass. More and more new creative products were developed,for example heat mirror insulated glass,thermochromic glass, smart glass etc. To achieve the high thermal insulation performance requirement of passive house,glass has to be thicker and thicker,while there’s always a barrier for insulated glass to decrease once more.

What’s vacuum glass? Vacuum glass uses special sealing solder and technology to artificially build a 0.3mm high vacuum layer between two layers of flat glass. Because the vacuum layer between the glass, heat conduction and convection basically do not exist, the sound cannot be transmitted, and the LOW-E reflective layer on the flat glass can reflect more than 95% of the heat radiation, so the vacuum glass has the function of heat insulation and noise reduction performance is far surpassing insulating glass.   vacuum glass structure vacuum glass VS insulated glass Extend: What’s vacuum glass？ Vacuum glass VS insulated glass Vacuum Insulating Glass – Past, Present and Prognosis Advantage of vacuum glass Glass CombinationLowe TypesU value(w/m2.k)SCSHGCLT % Triple Glass Unit 6LE+12AR+6+12AR+6LESingle +Single0.820.540.4769 Triple Glass Unit 6LE+16AR+6+16AR+6LEDouble+double0.780.290.3351 Quadruple Glass Unit 6LE+12AR+6LE+12AR+6+12AR+6Double +double0.690.310.2746 Vacuum IGU 6+12AR+6LE+V+6Double0.350.350.3060 Vacuum Glass 6+0.15v+6Double0.450.430.3770 Vacuum glass can be further made into insulated vacuum glass to further decrease glass U value.

General description of  Vacuum Insulating Glass Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG), illustrated in Figure 1, is simply conventional insulating glazing (IG) with an evacuated space between the two glass sheets [1, 2, 3]. (Note: Due to space limitations, most of the references in this paper are to review papers, which contain source references.) VIG achieves high levels of thermal insulation using the same principles as the Dewar flask – the vacuum eliminates heat transfer between the two glass sheets due to gaseous conduction and convection, and radiative heat transfer is reduced to a low level by one or two internal transparent low emittance coatings. vacuum glass structure Figure1 Schematic diagram of VIG Highly insulating VIG must incorporate several features, including: A hermetic (leak free) seal around the edges of the two glass sheets; A high and stable thermally insulating internal vacuum (pressure below ~106 atmosphere); An array of support pillars to maintain the separation of the glass sheets under the large forces due to atmospheric pressure (10 tonnes/m2); An internal transparent low emittance coating to reduce radiative heat flow to a low level; and An acceptable design compromise between the heat flow through the pillars and the mechanical stresses in the glass sheets near the pillars due to atmospheric pressure. The VIG concept offers several significant attractive possibilities: Very high levels of thermal insulation can be achieved, in principle; The vacuum space is very thin, so the overall thickness of the structure is only slightly greater than the combined thickness of the two glass sheets; VIG should exhibit negligible degradation in the field due to gas permeation through the hermetic edge seal. VIG therefore has the potential to achieve very high reliability in practical installations. History 1913 – 1988 The concept of VIG was first described in a 1913 German patent by Zoller [4] only 20 years after the invention of the Dewar flask. This patent claims structures with multiple glass sheets, and internal supports consisting of “ribs, grooves, prisms, projections on the glass sheets, spheres or blocks made of thermally insulating material, and line supports crossing at an angle”. During the following 75 years, many attempts were made to develop this concept, virtually all of which were published only in the patent literature [3]. The claims in these patents relate to many aspects of the design and manufacture of VIG, including: Support pillars of many different designs and materials; Pillar arrays of various geometries; Flexible and rigid edge seals made with solder glass and metal; Edge seals made by direct fusion of the two glass sheets; Ports and tubes for evacuating the internal volume; In-vacuum sealing of the edges; Contoured glass sheets; VIGs with multiple glass sheets; and VIGs with internal low emittance coatings. 1988 – 1994 Despite this extensive work over many decades, the first practical thermally insulating sample of VIG was not made until 1989 [5]. This was achieved in work that followed on from a 1988 Senior undergraduate project by Stephen Robinson, supervised by the author, at the University of Sydney School of Physics. These first experimental samples were made using two heating steps, as shown in Figure 2. In the first step, a rigid edge seal was formed between the glass sheets by melting solder glass at a temperature above ~450°C. During this step, solder glass was also melted to form the support pillars, and to seal a small, in-plane pump out tube to the edges of the glass sheets. After cooling, the sample was suspended from the pump out tube and evacuated. The internal surfaces of the sample were then outgassed during the second heating step at a much lower temperature. After cooling to room temperature, the pump out tube was melted and sealed. The existence of a thermally insulating vacuum was demonstrated using a rudimentary guarded hot plate apparatus [3, 5]. Figure 2 Two step manufacturing procedure for VIG This achievement stimulated an extensive research and development program on VIG at the University of Sydney, involving several staff members and many students. During this program, which continues to this day, over 1000 laboratory VIG samples up to 1 m x 1 m in size were made, with center-of-glazing U values as low as 0.8 W m-2 K-1. The innovations in VIG science and technology developed in this program were reported in many papers and patents. New developments in production technology during this period include: Metal pillars, including designs that automatically orient correctly when placed on the glass sheet; A stepped edge around the periphery of the sample for deposition of the solder glass (Figure 1); A procedure for evacuating and sealing the sample using a cup that is sealed with an O-ring to the surface of one glass sheet around a pump out tube ([2] and Figure 3). Figure 3 O-ring sealed evacuation cup Achievements in VIG design and modelling over the whole research program include: Determination of the nature and magnitude of the stresses in the glass sheets due to atmospheric pressure and temperature differences, and experimental validation of these data [1, 2, 3 and 6]; Development and validation of methods for calculating the heat flow through the VIG due to thermal conduction through the support pillars, gas conduction, radiation and edge effects [1, 2]; A procedure for designing the pillar array that quantifies the tradeoffs between heat flow through the pillars and the stresses in the glass sheets near the pillars due to atmospheric pressure [2]; and Demonstration that the time necessary to evacuate the internal volume of a VIG through a small pump out tube or aperture need not be a limiting factor in the production process [2]. The program also developed several innovative measurement methods including: A small area (~1 cm2) guarded hot plate (GHP) apparatus for making accurate and absolute room temperature measurements of the separate heat flows due to the different relevant processes [7]; Confirmation of the GHP data by measurements on large area samples at other laboratories [2]. A method for measuring the overall thermal conductance of samples at elevated temperatures [2]; Direct, non-perturbing measurement of the internal pressure in experimental VIG samples [8]; Measurement of the outgassing rates of relevant gas species [8]; and Long term and accelerated ageing measurements that identified the physical processes and gas species that can cause vacuum degradation, and enabled vacuum degradation rates to be related to manufacturing procedures [8]; The program also included significant fundamental science: Measurement of extremely slow rates of the growth of cracks in glass under relatively low stresses, leading to the confirmation of the existence of a subcritical limit of such growth [9]; Extension of glass failure models to account for the sub-critical limit of crack growth [10]; and Development and validation of methods of calculating radiative heat flow between surfaces that incorporate the dependency of emittance on angle and wavelength [11]. From its inception, the University of Sydney took the view that it did not have the capability or resources to commercialise VIG, either in-house, or by a spin-off entity. The University’s VIG research program therefore sought to understand the relevant science and technology, and to develop productioncompatible designs and fabrication processes that would be useful to a potential commercial partner. The University also sought patent protection for relevant innovative concepts [3]. Finding a commercial partner proved to be very challenging, for many reasons. It was not known whether several of the necessary procedures for making highly insulating VIG could be realised in a production environment. In addition, because the VIG concept had been the subject of several previous unsuccessful development attempts, many thought that this new approach was also unlikely to succeed. Equally importantly, it was clear that commercial VIG technology would be expensive to develop, and that a manufacturing plant would require significant capital investment. Put simply, commercialisation of VIG appeared to be a high cost and high risk enterprise.   1994 to 2000 The first serious industry interest in the University of Sydney’s VIG technology occurred in 1993 from Nippon Sheet Glass Group (NSG) in Japan. Around that time, Hideo Kawahara, Director of NSG Architectural Glass R&D Division, was considering the development of thin, moderately insulating glazings for the Japanese retrofit market. The VIG concept was directly relevant to that initiative. In 1994, the University and NSG entered into licensing and collaborative research agreements with the aim of developing a commercial VIG product. This commercial VIG development occurred at a time when the University’s understanding of many of the relevant technical issues was quite incomplete. Several critical decisions relating to the design and method of manufacture of the product were therefore made on the basis of very limited information. Important matters in this category included the dimensions of the pillar array, particularly the pillar separation, and the level of bakeout required to achieve a stable internal vacuum. The decision to develop a batch manufacturing process, rather than a continuous one, was made because it provided more flexibility to implement any changes needed as a result of these uncertainties. After an intensive period of technology transfer and collaborative work, NSG built a pilot VIG production line at its Kyoto manufacturing plant. Most of the post-assembly part of the initial manufacturing process was modelled on the laboratory procedures developed at the University. The process involved two separate heating steps (Figure 2), and the samples were evacuated and sealed utilising a cup that was sealed around the pump out tube with an O-ring (Figure 3). The process also incorporated sophisticated glass handling techniques, and an innovative pillar placement technology that was specially developed by NSG for this application. The first commercial VIG product, Spacia, was launched by NSG in 1996. This was immediately followed by an expansion of the capability of the Kyoto production line. Shortly afterwards, NSG established a second, purpose-built VIG manufacturing plant at Ryuagasaki, near Tokyo. Over the following few years, the design of the NSG product and its method of manufacture evolved significantly. Some of the changes were made to improve the yield of the manufacturing process, as normally occurs in the early stages of any new production technology. Some changes were major, and were a direct consequence of the earlier limited understanding of important technical issues. At one stage, the entire post-assembly part of the production process was redesigned and rebuilt, reducing the number of heating steps in the process from two to one (Figure 4). Figure 4 Single step manufacturing process This became possible through the development of a method for making a high temperature vacuum seal around the pump out tube using a demountable all-metal evacuation cup ([12] and Figure 5). Although very costly and time consuming, these changes greatly improved the viability of the technology by halving the post-assembly manufacturing time and significantly simplifying the manufacturing process. Figure 5 All-metal evacuation cup A feature of this commercial development was the effectiveness of the interactions between NSG and the University. Both parties in the collaboration were completely open to each other about the information that was generated and the issues that needed to be addressed. The University’s research program continued to provide new information of relevance to the product development at NSG. Much of the University’s work was stimulated by issues that emerged from the production process. For its part, NSG was unshakable in its resolve to make the project succeed, even when significant technical challenges arose that required major changes in production processes. In hindsight, the decision by NSG to commercialise a VIG product must be regarded as very courageous. NSG committed to this goal at a time when many other companies took the view that commercial development of the VIG concept was too risky and costly. As it turned out, the costs involved were much larger than originally anticipated, and the technological challenges were also much greater. Despite concerns about the viability on this enterprise, NSG chose to work these issues through, and over time this technology has become one of the company’s premium products. The demonstration of the technical and commercial feasibility of VIG stimulated several other organisations to commence work on VIG, leading to many publications and patents.   2001 to present The past 16 years have been a period of consolidation of VIG technology. Several million VIG units have been manufactured by NSG, and have shown excellent reliability in many types of building, Several major research studies have been undertaken at other academic institutions, in government laboratories and by other companies. VIG products made by other manufacturers are in the market or under development. There has been extensive relevant publication and patenting. Current commercially available VIGs using annealed glass can have centre-of-glazing Uvalues as low as 0.6 W m-2 K-1 in a structure 10 mm thick. VIGs are also being used in hybrid glazings and laminated assemblies. The International Standards Organisation (ISO) is developing Standards for this technology. This work is being undertaken by Working Group 10 (Glass in building – Product considerations – Vacuum glass) of ISO Technical Committee 160, Sub-committee 1. Part 1 of a draft Standard for measurement of the thermal insulating properties of VIG is in the process of ratification. Work has commenced on Part 2 relating to temperature induced effects in VIG.   Future prospects Although VIG is now a well established technology, there is considerable scope for further development on many aspects of its design, manufacture and marketing. Several of these are listed below. Those currently under active development or consideration are indicated by an asterisk (*)..   Design VIG made with tempered glass* offers the prospect of higher levels of thermal insulation, and broader areas of application. A major challenge for this design approach is the development of a relatively low temperature edge seal. Departures from planarity of the tempered glass sheets need to be accommodated so that the mechanical load due to atmospheric pressure is uniformly distributed over the pillars. Performance improvements are also likely with innovative pillar designs, including pillars made from thermally insulating materials*, high strength materials*, and by melting small areas on the glass sheets*. Pillars are under development with low friction bearing surfaces*, and different geometries*, that facilitate a small amount of relative lateral movement of the glass sheets. It is likely that the pillar separation in current VIGs with annealed glass can be increased*, resulting in improved thermal insulation, VIGs with a flexible edge seal* would experience very low stresses and bending under temperature differentials. However, in such designs the pillars must slide repetitively across the glass. Because of the high stresses in the glass sheets near the pillars, the author considers it unlikely that this type of edge seal will prove viable.   Production technology There are many alternative possibilities for making the edge seal, including low temperature solder glass *, lead free solder glass*, and metal*. All currently available polymer materials are far too permeable for this application. In the author’s opinion, this is unlikely to change. There are also many different design possibilities for the evacuation port of the device*. VIG production technology is sufficiently well understood that a continuous manufacturing process can now be implemented*. Although relatively capital intensive, such an approach would enable larger numbers of VIGs to be made, and this could result in significant cost reductions in the product. In principle, it is possible to form the edge seal in the VIG within a highly evacuated space, eliminating the need for a pump out port. Challenges in this approach include bubbling of the molten solder glass, vacuum degradation due to outgassing of the hot internal surfaces after sealing, and avoiding bending of the glass sheets in the edge region. Conclusion The history of VIG is quite unusual for a technological development. There was an extraordinarily long period (75 years) between the initial patent describing the concept and its first realisation in the laboratory. This was followed by a relatively short period (8 years) of research, development and technology transfer, leading to the launch of the first commercial VIG product. Over the subsequent 20 years, the development of the technology has continued, although most currently available products have much in common with early commercial designs. In addition, although sales of VIG have steadily increased and the product has exhibited high reliability in practical installations, only a few manufacturers are currently active in the field. NSG is in the process of completing a significant expansion of its VIG manufacturing capability. In addition, there is currently a high level of interest in the technology, both at the research level, and in product development programs by other manufacturers. It is therefore not unreasonable to expect that the next few years will see more manufacturers entering the VIG market, and substantially increased sales volumes. Should this occur, new and possibly better performing VIG products made using different processes will become available, and the cost of VIG will decrease. The capital investment for a VIG manufacturing facility will always be greater than for a conventional IG plant of comparable capacity. The unit area cost of VIG is therefore always likely to be greater than for conventional IG. In large volume manufacture, however, materials cost should dominate, and the cost differential between the two technologies need not necessarily be large. The capability of VIG to achieve high levels of thermal insulation, the high reliability afforded by the hermetic edge seal, and the very small thickness of the structure, are likely to make VIG technology an increasingly attractive choice in the market for high performance thermally insulating glazing. Acknowledgments VIG would not exist as it is today without the many contributions by the author’s students at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues in the University’s School of Physics, at NSG, and in other research laboratories. The author dedicates this paper to Stephen Robinson, whose student project led to the first practical VIG samples, and Hideo Kawahara, whose vision, dedication and tenacity enabled this technology to be commercialised successfully. Sadly, neither is alive today to reflect on the significance of their achievements. References 1. R E Collins, A C Fischer-Cripps and J-Z Tang, Solar Energy 49, 333-50 (1992) 2.

While personal or household greenhouse, conservatory use insulated glass instead of single piece tempered safety glass,the main consideration of this kinds of conservatory is :thermal insulation and high light transmittance. Traditional single silver low-E or double silver low-E can only reach 75% and 67% light transmittance and best U value is 1.75W/M2.K and 1.55W/M2.K. To meet the high requirement of greenhouse and conservatory manufacturers’ , Morn now developed W1.1 and W1.16 low e coating which is the perfect glass solution for conservatory glass. Similar as AGC Iplus to 1.1 products,W1.1 and W1.16 have below features: Temperable: The coating is processed with vacuum sputtering low-E coating line,the tough coating can resist the 700’degrees high temperature and make the glass work as safety glass.The glass can be tempered,heat strengthened and bendable to fit the design. Various sub-glass options.The coating can be coated on clear glass and low iron glass for different visual effect.Coating on low iron glass will offer higher light transmittance and higher solar energy transmittance. High light transmittance.The insulated glass made with W1.1 and W1.16 can reach 82% ,If both glass are clear ,light transmittance is 79%. Excellent thermal insulation effect.The insulated glass made with W1.1and W1.16 keeps low U value which equal or better than double silver low-E. When argon was filled,and warm edge spacer was used,the U value can decrease again to lowest 1.1 and 1.16W/M2.K.That ‘s also the name source of W1.1 and W1.16. Below is the glass performance comparison between AGC-Iplus top 1.1 and our W1.1 ,W1.16 coatings: The best application of of W1.1 and W1.16 low e coating : Greenhouse insulated glass Conservatory insulted glass Sunroom insulated glass Villas insulated glass MORN is your turnkey insulated glass manufacturer and supplier in China,welcome contact us for technical support and glass combination design.

Recent years,warm edge spacer,or super spacer insulated glass is more popular.The warm edge combine the advantage of butyl,desiccant,and secondary sealant together,the easy production process and relatively lower price make it becoming an alternative for normal windows and doors. Here we introduce the production facilities of warm edge spacer and production flow. Warm-edge-spacer-insulated-glass-production-line   Above is typical production line for super spacer production line,it consist of: Glass washing machine,air float table,tilting table,roller press,casting table,liner stripper,rotary gunning table,double reel stripper,hot melt pump,and sealed workshop.

Morn is your turnkey architectural glass manufacturer,we can supply all kinds of insulated glass,both warm edge insulated and traditional double sealant insulated glass. Download this article here:Warm-edge-space-insulated-glass-production #### Warm Edge Spacer Introduction Why we use warm edge spacer in insulated glass? Insulated glass is made with 2 or 3 panels ,to ensure the long lifetime and good thermal insulation performance,the edges must be sealed strictly to keep the space between glass panels.The spacer’s function are:keep insulated glass structural safety,insulate the IGU internal space. Traditional spacers used in the IGU are usually aluminium spacer,the disadvantage is high thermal conductivity.So when the external panel glass temperature increased during the daytime in summer,or the internal panels temperature becomes high in winter,the heat can easily been conducted through the aluminium spacers,this will result in condensation, and cause glass mildew after long time,another result is,the overall windows,or glass facade thermal insulation performance becomes very bad,and cause high energy costs .The glass edge U value is an important part of the overall windows U value. insulated glass,warm edge spacer can decrease glass U value. To avoid the energy wastes caused by the high thermal conductivity of aluminium spacers,warm edge spacers were developed.Warm edge spacer is made with stainless steel,nylon or other materials. Types of warm edge spacers Warm edge spacers are divided into 3 kinds: insulated glass spacer option Non-metal materials,such as superspacer, TPS,glass fiber stripes.The main brands are QUANEX,they have series products that compose the butyl,desiccant,and structural sealant, so secondary structural sealant is not necessary.But because there’s no high efficiency production lines that can produce this kind of insulated glass,the promotion and market for non-metal materials spacers are very limited. Partial metal products:thermal break spacers, spacer compose metal and plastic materials.The main brands are Alupro,Technoform,Fenzi,Lisec. The is the most widely used materials used.Because IGU manufacturers can process the spacer with same production lines including spacer bending machine,desiccant filling machine ,and IGU insulating lines.Compared with non-metal materials,this kind spacer price is better and more convenient in production. Metal spacer whose thermal conductivity lower than Aluminium, for example stainless steel spacer.Stainless steel spacer has difficult in bending,so factories have to use steel connector to join the spacers,which make production efficiency quite low.So this is not widely used in IGU fabricators. The advantage of using warm edge spacers: Warm edge spacers can decrease the windows overall U value by 0.06-0.4W/M2.K. The price of warm edge spacer IGU is just 10% higher than normal aluminium spacers,while the warm edge spacer can decrease the overall windows U value in the next decades of years and save energy costs. insulated glass U value Warm edge spacer’s low thermal conductivity ensures that the temperature difference between external and interior glass panels can reach 7℃,and prevent the glass condensation.compared with aluminium spacers, the condensation degree of warm edge spacer can be 20 degrees lower than aluminium spacer. warm edge spacer IGU dew point Without the possible condensation,glass mildew is avoided,and glass lifetime is pro-longed. Now warm edge space have been widely used in European and American countries.While in many developing countries,aluminium spacers is still the main component of the insulated glass,While with the decreased costs of low-E coatings,in addition to the filled argon,the glass U value can decrease about 0.4-0.5W/M2.K.Now the low-E coating ,even triple silver low-E coating glass emissivity has reached only 0.03 and very difficult to improve again,while the application of warm edge spacer give architects and designers another option to have better performance.

What’s acid etched glass? Acid etched glass is a kind of annealed glass that is treated with hydrofluoric acid to make the glass surface a frosted appearance. acid-etched-glass-supplier   The frosted appearance can be fully frosted,partial frosted ,and even some patterns can be etched on glass surface to be privacy protect glass. Acid etching is quite different from sandblasted glass because the finished surface is much smoother and easier to maintain. The glass can also better withstand stress and stay smudge-free longer. Because of its long life, acid-etched glass can be cut into any shape or size and then tempered. etched-glass-patterns-morn Anti-slip-glass-staircase-glass-suppliers-morn   Acid-etched glass can be applied in below : Glass Doors-shower doors,frameless shower door,glass doors Partitions:Office partitions Glass shelves and glass cabinets Glass cabinets Art glass Glass table top, Anti slip glass staircase Glass handrails This type of glass can vary in opacity.

AR coated glass or AR coated Anti-Reflective Glass is also known as enhanced transmission glass or anti reflective glass. GREENHOUSE-AR-COATED-GLASS-SUPPLIER-mORN   The features of AR coated glass: The highest visible light transmittance is 99%, and the average visible light transmittance is over 95%, which greatly increases the original brightness of LCD and PDP and reduces energy consumption. The average reflectance is less than 4%, and the lowest value is less than 0.5% Resistant to ultraviolet rays, effectively protecting the eyes. The transmittance of the ultraviolet spectral region is greatly reduced, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from harming the eyes. High temperature resistance, AR glass temperature >500 degrees (general acrylic can only withstand 80 degrees) The color is more beautiful and the contrast is stronger, which makes the image color contrast more intense and the scene clearer. The best scratch and abrasion resistance, AR glass film hardness is comparable to glass, greater than 7H, (generally PC board hardness is about 2H to 3H). It can withstand all kinds of cleaning agents to clean the acid and alkali cleaning agent, and the film layer is not damaged. Strong impact resistance, the impact performance of 3mm thick glass is equivalent to 6mm acrylic. The flatness of the AR glass surface is much better than the coating acrylic, and the larger the size, the more obvious the difference. Maintaining the viewing angle, generally the angle of view of the acrylic will become smaller after installation; while the AR glass is installed, the viewing angle will not become smaller. The cold and hot deformation of AR glass can be almost omitted, and it is suitable for various environments. At the same time, AR glass has a glaze and looks more beautiful. Main application Glass-greenhouse-greenhouse-glass-supplier-morn-building-materials   It is coated on the surface of ordinary tempered glass, which improves the light transmittance of the tempered glass surface and realizes easy-cleaning function. It also extends the life of the glass. AR coated glass can be mainly used in solar cell modules, light and heat, construction, automotive glass and other fields,glass greenhouse.

Bulletproof glass,is some high end glass that can resist the impact of bullet，it’s made with multi layer clear float glass and PVB interlayers,as well as some special bulletproof films. Firstly let’s check the test for China bulletproof glass: As we know tempered glass and laminated glass glass are safety glass which can resist certain impact and prevent injury. China bulletproof glass manufacturer-morn   Especially laminated glass,the PVB or SGP interlayer can cohere the glass and sometimes keep the glass integrity even if the glass break. Normal laminated glass is tempered laminated which takes advantage of both tempered glass and laminated glass,but bulletproof glass is made with multi layer float glass and PVB interlayer, in addition to some bulletproof layers. The reasons why bulletproof glass doesn’t use tempered glass is:Tempered glass is easy to break once some concentrative impact,broken tempered glass has no resistance any more and cannot stand the 2nd and further impact anymore,while float glass,if part of the float glass are broken,the other parts still has same impact resistance. The PVB interlayer works as function layer to shatter the impact of bullet,after several layers glass and PVB interlayer,the bullet impact can be absorbed or lost,bullet cannot penetrate the glass. bulletproof-glass-supplier-morn   Here we list some typical bulletproof glass configurations: 5mm clear float +0.76mm PVB+8mm clear float +0.76mm PVB+5mm clear float 8mm clear float +0.76mm PVB+8mm clear float +0.76mm PVB+8mm clear float 8mm clear float +1.52mm PVB+8mm clear float +1.52mm PVB+8mm clear float+0.3mm LLUMAR bulletproof film 8mm clear float +1.52mm PVB+12mm clear float +1.52mm PVB+8mm clear float+0.3mm LLUMAR bulletproof film 12mm clear float +2.28mm PVB+12mm clear float +2.28mm PVB+10mm clear float+1.52mm PVB+6mm clear float+0.3mm LLUMAR bulletproof film Accord to different project requirement and bullet types,the bulletproof glass can be divided to many types,Morn can supply all kinds of bulletproof glass,welcome contact us for more info.

SGP is also called SentryGlas Plus,which is one kind of high performance laminated materials developed by Dupont,Kuarary acquired Dupont in the end of 2014. SGP has very high strength,SGP laminated glass bearing capability is 2 times that of PVB laminated glass,but the bending deflection of SGP laminated is only 1/4 of PVB laminated glass under the same thickness and load condition. The tearing strength of SGP interlayer is 5 times higher than PVB film,even if the glass breaks,the SGP can also stick the glass and form a temporary structure while keeping small bending deformation,it can withstand a certain amount of load and whole piece laminated glass won’t fall or deform. SGP interlayer has good edge stability, and low water content.The film is translucent and has good weather resistance,after years installation and application,the SGP film will keep translucent and won’t change to yellow color.The SGP yellowing coefficient is less than 1.5 while the PVB interlayer ones is 6-12,so SGP laminated glass is widely used in low iron laminated glass. SGP production process is same as PVB laminated glass,but SGP laminated glass price is very high,that’s the reason why the SGP laminated cannot replace PVB one.Eastman company also produced similar products-DG41,but the shortage of DG41 is,the interlayer strength will decrease under higher temperature. sgp-laminated-glass-staircase-supplier-morn   SGP laminated glass characteristics: Translucent and high mechanical strength,good impact resistance.The safety glass made with SGP interlayer has high safety performance:explosion- proof,bulletproof,hurricane proof glass. SGP laminated glass Applications Glass barriers of public building,balcony,windows and doors.Indoor partition,glass staircase.Typical applications are airport terminal,glass roof,glass partition. Glass staircase,glass corridor.SGP laminated glass can withstand high pressure and can meet the requirement of transparent observation,it can be used as submarine windows,deep water peep mirror,glass aquarium,etc. High rise buildings,large public buildings.

There’re many mirror options in the market with different pricing ,but normal customers don’t know exactly why the price are different,and cannot identify which is aluminium mirror,silver mirror and copper free mirror.After they purchasing the cheap aluminium mirrors,especially single paint aluminium mirrors,customers found the quality is quite poor and cannot meet customers requirement,so before purchasing a mirror,customers should know the difference and features of different mirror products. copper-free-mirror-morn-bm   Firstly,the deciding points affecting mirror price is the coating used in Mirror. What’s a mirror coating? Mirrors are widely used in decoration among other industries because of its reflective properties, the reflective property of mirrors come from coating a layer deposited on the surface of the glass, making it reflective and in some times make better reflections or give a higher reflection on some specific colors. Are all reflective coatings the same? For commercial and household use, there are two important factors: Percentage of Reflection and Durability. mirror-products-morn-bm Aluminium mirror: Aluminum Mirrors reflect only 90% of the light, which means you get a less vibrant reflection and colors from the mirror itself. Although they are a cheaper option, most of the time these mirrors come with waving issues and their coating is thinner, which makes it easier to scratch. Aluminum being a more reactive metal compared to Silver oxidizes much faster in the presence of moisture, not the ideal case for a mirror you want to install in your bathroom or the exterior. Silver mirror: Silver Mirrors reflect up to 95% of the light spectrum, they are popular among women due to its vivid reflection and much warmer colors. Despite their higher cost, most consumers prefer it, and until a few years ago it was a synonym of quality in Mirrors.   Silver coated layers are also much thicker and rust-resistant, and despite being cleaned with more corrosive chemicals they last longer than aluminum mirrors. In some cases with a good care Silver Mirrors can last up to three years without getting oxidized. Copper free mirror: Copper-free mirrors are made out of the silver coating as its main reflective material, which allows them to give that vibrant reflection that women love so much from the Silver Mirror. But at the same time, it has several improvements that make it a higher quality mirror compared to silver.

Most glass used in facade is double glazed units, which is made of 1 piece low-E coated glass and 1 piece clear glass,the most common glass combination is 6 low-E+12A+6 clear glass. If the low-E coating is double silver low e coated,glass U value is around 1.6W/m2.k,for triple silver low-E the U value is same but will with lower Solar coefficient.Evne if we change the 2nd glass to double silver low-E,the U value won’t change much. lowe-coated-glass-morn-bm With the development of energy saving conscious,triple glazed units is widely used in developed countries ,such as Europe and North America areas,the cold area has higher heat conservation performance. Compared with double glazed units,triple glazing has much lower U value ,glass made of 1 piece low-E and 2 lites clear glass U value can decrease to 1.2W/m2.k.Of course we have many options to decrease the U value again,such as increasing the air gap ,fill argon,using warm edge spacer,and using 2 piece low-E glass. The main difference between double glazed units and triple glazed units is U value,here is the comparison between different combinations. triple-glazed-units-U-value As shown in above chart,triple glazed units can decrease 20-30% U value,taking advantage of more method,the U value can decrease 100% again ,the glass will be applied in passive buildings.

What’s the difference between silver mirror and aluminium mirror? Silver mirror and aluminium mirror is widely used in furniture,arts,interior decoration,shower rooms,autos. Thickness varies from 1.1mm to 8mm,and Max size 3660*2440mm,the mirror is not only clear color,but also bronze,grey,green,blue colors to achieve different decorative effects. While as silver mirror and aluminium mirror are very similar and clients cannot identify silver mirror and aluminium mirror very clearly. several methods to identify silver mirror and aluminium mirror. silver mirror and aluminium mirror are very similar 1.Definition. Silver mirror definition is much higher and clear than aluminium mirror. The reflective ratio of aluminium mirror is around 70%,the reflected shapes and colors are easily change,short lifetime,and bad anti-corrision performance.On the contract,silver mirror color is more real and darker,mirror lifetime is much longer. 2.Different paints. Silver mirror has 2 protective paints,there’s bronze color paints under the surface paints,if there’s only 1 layer paint or the under layer paints color is silver color,the mirror is aluminium mirror. 3.Back painting colors. Silver color back paints is dark grey color,aluminium mirror back is light grey color. 4.Reflective color. The aluminium silver surface is lighter than silver mirror.Under the same light condition,the silver mirror reflected pictures is lighter. 5.Costs: Silver mirror materials costs is obviously higher than aluminium mirror.If the mirror is used in dry area,the aluminium mirror lifetime is also very long.

For structural insulation panel ,EPS,XPS and PU are mostly widely used core,many clients don’t know exactly what materials they are ,what advantage and disadvantage of different core,here we offer some info: EPS:Expanded polystyrene.Mixing polystyrene resin with foaming agent, after heating processing,the resin will forming a rigid closed-cell foam.   Structural insulation panels (SIP) WITH OSB and EPS board XPS:Extruded polystyrene.It is continuously extruded and foamed by a special process. The hard film formed on the surface is even and flat, and the internal closed-cell foaming is continuous and uniform, forming a honeycomb structure. PU:Polyurethane panels, made of isocyanate and polyether. It is polymerized by high-pressure spraying and on-site foaming under the action of various auxiliary agents such as foaming agents, catalysts, and flame retardants. There are two types of polyurethane foam: soft foam and rigid foam. Soft foam is open-cell structure, hard foam is closed-cell structure. PUR PANELS Comparison of XPS,EPS and PUR. 1.Thermal insulation: PU -0.022W/M2.K <XPS 0.029W/M2.K <EPS 0.042W/M2.K 2.Price: EPS <XPS<PU. 3.Temperature resistance: EPS 70℃< XPS 95℃<PU 120℃。 4.Compressive strength： EPS 69 MPA < PU 150Mpa <XPS 200Mpa. 5.Bonding strength:EPS<XPS<PU 6. XPS,EPS and PU all are flame retardant materials. With above info,we can see that EPS has the best price but every performance is worse than XPS and PU.It’s suitable for low requirement,low energy saving performance requirement and low wind load projects. PU has the highest price and almost best performance at every aspect,so it’s widely used in high energy saving projects. XPS has the best cost performance,good thermal insulation,god water and moisture proof ,annd excellent compression performance,easy installation,so XPS is most common materials used in SIP.

What’s the function of argon gas in argon filled insulated glass? In Insulating glass product,glass processors usually recommend filling argon instead of air in the insulating glass spacer ,the main benefit is to decrease U value .Because argon is inert gas which means its activity after temperature increasing is much less than air,the result it ,heat convection through the gas is decreased a lot. Argon is usually been filled in the insulated glass to increase the glass thermal insulation performance,let’s take example of single silver low-E + Clear insulated glass, argon content increase from 0-100%,the glass U value decrease from 1.86 to 1.59,for triple silver low-E glass, U value decrease from 1.64 to 1.34.The argon doesn’t affect SC value,LT value and can decrease glass U value significantly. argon-filled-insulated-glass-supplier But argon has more functions despite increase glass thermal insulation performance. a.After filling with argon gas, the internal and external pressure difference can be reduced, the pressure balance can be maintained, and the glass burst due to the pressure difference can be reduced. b.Due to the characteristics of the argon gas as the inert gas, the heat convection in the insulated glass can be slowed down, and the sound insulation and noise reduction effect can be further improved. c.Increase the wind pressure resistance. and increase the strength of a large area of insulated glass so that it does not collapse in the middle without support. d.Because it is filled with a dry inert gas, the moisture-bearing air in the hollow cavity can be replaced to keep the environment inside the cavity drier and prolong the service life of the molecular sieve in the aluminum spacer frame. e.When low-emission LOW-E glass or coated glass is used, since the filling gas is an inert inert gas, the low-e coating can be protected from decreasing the oxidation rate and prolonging the lifetime of the coated glass. Compared with normal insulated glass, argon filled insulated glass price is only USD1.5/SQM higher,but because of its high cost performance,more and more projects are using argon filled glass to increase glass performance. Argon content can decrease after years,see The reasons for argon leakage for Insulated glass People can use below tools to measure the argon content of insulated glass: https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/insulated-glass-argon-content-measurement-test.mp4 Morn is your turnkey architectural glass supplier from China,welcome contact us for more info.

When evaluating the thermal insulation performance of a glass product,we usually know that clear& tinted single piece glass is 5.84,Single silver low-E insulated glass 1.8,and double silver low-E is 1.55-1.65.The lower the value,the better thermal insulation performance the glass has. But What does the value mean and the measurement unit? Actually the measurement unit is W/M2.k,which means watt/square meter/Kelvin,it’s under same confirmed air condition,the heat transfered throught the glass products. While even this measurement unit,there’re many different conditions depend on different client. insulated glass-heat transfer-morn bm   The most widely used condition is American LBNL Ashare NFRC 100-2010 SUMMER standard: Room temperature: 24° Outside temperature: 32° Glazing oriented windward, wind speed: 2.75 m/s Sky temperature: 32° Sky emissivity: 1.0 Incident solar power: 0 W/m2 NFRC 100-2010 winter standard: Room temperature: 21° Outside temperature: -18° Glazing oriented windward, wind speed: 5.5 m/s Sky temperature: -18° Sky emissivity: 1.0 Incident solar power: 0 W/m2 While in European areas,they use another standard:EN673,there’s no summer and winter difference as there’s not big difference between winter and summer temperature. Despite W/M2.K,there’s another measurement unit that shows the thermal conductivity :ft2•h•°F/BTU ,which means hour/square foot/°F. It’s quite different unit.Sometimes clients mentioned glass unit is 0.3,many sales don’t believe this and think it must be incorrect and the glass U v value couldn’t be this low.While what the client mentions is hour/square foot/°F,not W/m2.k. To transfer the unit, 1hour/square foot/°F =5.68w/m2.k,so don’t make mistake.

Download this article here:What’s the thermal conductivity measurement unit? #### What’s vacuum glass？ What’s vacuum glass？ Visit our vacuum glass website to learn more about our new innovative glass-Vacuum-glass. Or turn to posts: Ultimate vacuum glass guide-2022 version Vacuum glass is newly developed glass products,astually it has very long history,even though it’s really new in the market,but is expected to be the best thermal insulation glass products in the future and replace the current insulated glass.This article will introduce the vacuum glass,its advantage and the market in the next years. vacuum glass structure Then what’s vacuum glass? Same as normal insulated glass,the vacuum glass is also made with 2 pieces single piece glass and spacer.The glass can be clear,low iron glass,silk screen glass,low-E coated glass,or even laminated glass. The difference is ,vacuum space between 2 piece glass.Traditional insulated glass has 6mm,9mm,12mm,16mm,and even 20mm air spacer between glass.To increase the insulated glass energy saving performance,Argon is usually filled to decrease around 0.2W/m2.k U value. Vacuum glass has a 0.2-0.4mm vacuum space between 2 piece glass,some mineral supporting points are placed between the glass to ensure that the vacuum glass won’t shrink. The sealed edge is made with glass powders or metals to ensure the high vacuum between the glass. Why we use vacuum glass? The biggest advantage and feature of vacuum glass is the vacuum space between glass,the vacuum space makes vacuum glass has below advantages: Thermal insulation. The high vacuum space can decrease the thermal transmission between the 2 side glass.Its thermal performance is 2-4 times that of insulated glass,6-10 times that of single piece glass,which can easily reach the high thermal insulation requirement of passive buildings. The U value can be 0.4W/M2.K,the thermal insulation performance of 8.3mm(4+0.3V+4) vacuum glass is equal to 1.5M brick walls. vacuum-glass-performance   Below is the performance data of vacuum glass,here we can see clearly how excellent the vacuum glass thermal performance is. Glass type Low-e U value LT% LR% SC Accoustic-Dbs 5TL+12A+5T Double silver 1.63 68 11 0.44 32 5TL+12A+5T+5T+12A+5T Double silver 1.25 61 12 0.4 35 5TL+0.3V+5T Double silver 0.44 68 11 0.44 39 5TL+0.3V+5T Single silver 0.55 78 12 0.67 39 5T+12A+5TL+0.3V+5T Double silver 0.42 60 17 0.42 40 5T+12A+5TL+0.3V+5T Single silver 0.52 70 18 0.59 40 5T+0.76PVB+5TL+0.3V+5T Double silver 0.44 65 10 0.4 41 5T+0.76PVB+5TL+0.3V+5T Single silver 0.54 76 11 0.58 41 Based on above chart,the vacuum glass U value is 0.4-0.5,even if made into insulated vacuum glass or laminated vacuum glass,the U value won’t decrease much. Compared with double silver low-E 1.6W/M2.K,vacuum glass performance is only around 40% of that glass. Sound insulation The vacuum glass sound insulation reach 39mm,which is equal to triple laminated glass,and is higher than any glass products in the market now. Normal insulated glass sound accoustic is around 33-36Dbs,while vacuum glass can reach 39mm. Insulated glass cannot decrease the traffic noise much,because traffic noise is low frequency noise,which cannot be decreased by the air space between insulated glass. While vacuum glass can decrease any noise can cause 39Dbs noise difference between indoor and outdoor.’ sound-accoustic-of-vacuum-glass   Low condensation point. Because of the vacuum between glass,the condensation point of vacuum glass is -50℃. So vacuum glass can be widely used in freezers and more home appliance which has low temperature. Safety glass The glass used for vacuum glass is temperature,which belongs to safety glass.The low temperature sealing technology also guarantee the temperature high strength and impact resistance. Surface compression and fragile numbers comply with the tempered glass standard.Wind load,impact resistance all guarantee the high safety of tempered vacuum glass. Light weight and simple structure The vacuum space is only 0.3mm,which can be ignored.So vacuum glass can save the storage,logistic fees significantly. Vacuum glass thickness is only 1/3 and even 1/4 that of insulated glass,the weight is 10kgs/m2 lighter. Meanwhile based on same thermal insulation performance,vacuum glass can also decrease the aluminium profile and windows system thickness,which can save much for clients. The overall costs of windows with vacuum glass and light thermal break aluminium windows is almost equal to triple glazed glass units and thick aluminium windows,while the saved energy is much higher. Suitable for any area. insulated glass expand   As we know the air inside insulated glass will expand if the glass is installed in high altitude areas,while in low altitude areas,insulated glass may shrink which will case visual distortion after glass installed. The vacuum environment in vacuum glass ensures that vacuum glass won’t change and can be installed in anywhere. Long lifetime. The expected lifetime of vacuum is 25 years.The special sealing materials ensures high vacuum environment.Compared with normal insulated glass 10-15 years lifetime,vacuum glass lifetime can be 2 times longer. china vacuum glass Currently there’re still many problems in large scale production of vacuum glass,but the technology is developing and many Chinese enterprises are striving to improve the production efficiency and yield of vacuum glass. Just like the low-E coated glass 20 years ago,vacuum glass is still new ,price is very high compared with currently large scaled used insulated glass,while we believe with the development of the production technology,the vacuum glass will replace insulated glass in the next 20-30 years and become the most popular energy saving glass.

Why heat soaked glass is not recommended ? The Nis inside glass will cause tempered glass self explosion after installation.The glass breakage,replacement will bring numerous problems to clients,so many glass processors recommend heat soaking process after tempering to decrease the self breakage ratio. Heat soaking process is finished by heat soaking furnace,take the glass into the furnace,heating up to 300℃，keeping the temperature for 2 hours and then decrease temperature,the Nis inside glass will transfer and expand many times which can cause glass breakage,after heat soaking,the glass breakage ratio can decrease much.But how much final breakage ratio,nobody knows.. tempered glass spontaneous breakage Morn don’t suggest heat soaking process for glass,the reasons are as below: 1.Heat soaked glass has no appearance difference from normal tempered glass. Heat soaking process is not a process that can change glass appearance,and there’s even no machines or tools to detect if the glass is heat soaked or not.For clients,the at least 10% increased costs on glass purchasing cannot be identified even if glass was installalled many years. Many glass processors charged high heat soaking process but don’t actually doing the process.They’ll offer false heat soaking test report and don’t care about the result. 2.There’re many alternative method to avoid glass self breakage. Option a:Heat strengthened glass.Compared with tempered glass,heat strengthened glass won’t self breakage ,and even if glass is broken,the glass will keep integrity and there’s enough time to replace the glass. Option b:Use low iron glass.Compared with normal clear glass,tempered low iron glass contains much less Nis and much lower possibility of breakage,the low iron glass will also offer more elegant appearance. Anyway,please don’t use poor quality glass raw materials for your order,small float glass manufacturer’s products is not reliable and high possibility of breakage.

With the continuous improvement of people’s living conditions, the requirements for the acoustic environment of living also continue to increase. In the process of controlling traffic noise pollution, glass manufacturers are vigorously promoting insulated glass windows. traffic-noise-insulated-glass The insulated glass is composed of two layers of single glass with a 9mm or 12mm air gap in the middle. Due to the special structure of this glass, most consumers think that insulated glass is soundproof, but it is not. This starts with the characteristics of the noise source. At present, the main noise sources of street residents are mostly traffic noise. Traffic noise sources include three types: 1.The sound of car tires rubbing against the ground. This sound basically belongs to the bass and is accompanied by vibration. Concrete roads are more severe than asphalt roads. 2.The sound of automobile engines, exhaust pipes, and automotive transmission systems. The higher the horsepower and the longer vehicle life, the stronger the noise in this area. 3.The sound of vehicle vibration caused by the impact of car horns, wind resistance and brakes, deceleration belts and loads. Instrument testing shows that the sound pressure level of traffic noise is mainly at low and medium frequencies (below 200Hz), which is also the weakness of ordinary insulated glass sound insulation windows. The structure of insulated glass is easy to form low-frequency resonance with traffic noise, and the sound insulation in the low frequency band is not ideal. According to our tests, the maximum low-frequency sound insulation is only 19db, and the overall sound insulation is less than 30db. If the outdoor noise is above 75db, the indoor acoustic environment can be imagined to be very annoying. Therefore, professional sound-proof glass structure must be used for sound insulation. how-insulated-glass-decrease-traffic-noise Morn is your turnkey insulated glass manufacturer and supplier from China,welcome contact us for more。 Download this article here:Why-insulated-glass-cannot-decrease-the-traffic-noise #### Why we choose system windows and doors. Why we choose system windows and doors. Most people pay attention to the quality of obvious parts such as aluminum profile, glass, accessories, etc when buying high-quality doors and windows,, but do not understand the professional performance requirements of doors and windows, more concerned about product quality, cost-effective and other factors. In the initial consumption ideology, high-quality doors and windows are considered to be equal to high-performance doors and windows. System windows suppliers-morn building materials High quality doors and windows = high quality profiles + glass + accessories strips + processing technology x installation process High-performance doors and windows High-performance profiles x glass x accessories strips x processing technology x installation process x… Therefore: high-quality doors and windows ≠ high-performance door and window. system doors and windows is a perfect organic combination of performance systems, the specific functions are reflected in several aspects: noise reduction, air tightness, water tightness, wind pressure resistance, heat preservation and energy saving,convenient operation, and the appearance of the doors and windows is also improved. Aluminium alloy windows manufacturer-morn The use of high-grade thermal break aluminum alloy doors and windows has gradually become the first choice for many high-end building windows. However, experts also pointed out that the quality of aluminum alloy door and window products on the market is uneven, and must be carefully discerned when purchasing. Inferior aluminum alloy doors and windows use aluminum profiles and specifications, processing rough and shoddy, cutting instead of milling, not installed according to requirements, poor sealing performance, switch is not smooth, not only leaking wind and rain and glass burst phenomenon, but also encountered When it comes to strong winds and external forces, it is easy to scrape or knock down the push-pull parts or the glass, causing damage to people. The aluminum profiles used for high-quality aluminum alloy doors and windows, thickness, strength and oxide film, should comply with the relevant national standards, the wall thickness should be above 1.2 mm, the tensile strength reaches 157 Newtons per square meter, and the yield strength should be At 108 Newtons per square millimeter, the oxide film thickness should be 10 microns. If the above standards are not met, it is a poor quality aluminum alloy door and window, which cannot be used. huajian eoss system windows manufacturer-morn System door and window is perfect replacement for traditional windows and doors,usually system windows has energy efficient design and elegant appearance,high grade raw materials and excellent water tightness,air tightness and energy efficeint performance.

Download this article here:Why-we-use-triple-silver-low-E-on-your-facade #### Why your coated glass get mildewed during marine shipping In the float glass production process, soda ash is often used to help raw materials melting. Because the glass composition contains sodium oxide, when the glass is exposed to a high temperature and high humidity environment, an alkali reaction will occur. Rainbow-shaped marks can appear on glass surface and even in some cases glass sticking together and hard to separate them. China is the world largest country producing,consume and export in the world, A large number of glass is moldy during storage and transportation every year. The same packaging method did not cause any problems during land transportation, but serious mold formation occurred during the marine transportation .Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the mold formation under different conditions so that effective protective measures can be taken. The magnetron sputtering process is widely used in the glass coating industry.During storage and transportation, the high temperature, high humidity, and high salt environment will deteriorate the stable film and cause large area of mold. low-e coated glass get mildew during transportation   Why your coated glass been mildewed during marine shipping? The Fluorine element in seawater is one of the main elements, and the fluorine content is 0.4~0.9 mg/kg. In the long-term shipping process, the PE plastic film used in glass packaging cannot prevent the intrusion of fluoride ions due to the large amount of seawater evaporation and the sea breeze and sea fog. In the high temperature and high humidity containers, the fluorine element Contact with the coated glass will corrode the SiO2 film on the surface of the coated glass , change the composition of the film, and lose its protective effect. A large amount of water vapor passes through the film and finally formed alkali elements. When the temperature and humidity inside container change, the concentration of these alkali changes accordingly and finally causing serious mildew on glass surface. glass get mildewed after installation The white spots of the coated glass are mainly caused by the fluorine-containing pollutants corroding the SiO2 film. Incomplete packaging and insufficient moisture-proof treatment will also cause the glass to mold. Under normal circumstances, glass production and deep processing companies use PE films for low-E coated glass packing and delivery, It has many advantages such as excellent chemical stability, water and moisture resistance, but its main disadvantage is poor oxygen barrier function. To eliminate the possibility of coated glass mildew,it’s suggested to use vacuum packing instead of PE packing. low-e coated glass packing The mildew not only happens to coated glass,but also normal clear glass,and processed glass products. During the ocean transportation of containers, the huge temperature difference between day and night on the sea makes the high temperature air locked in the container during the day meet a very low temperature at night to form a large temperature difference, which will form a “container rain” . It has a very adverse effect, and the excessive humidity of the package directly affects the glass surface appearance. It’s suggested to place container desiccant to effectively keep the container space dry. desiccant used in containers Glass loading in containers-China Morn Morn is your turnkey glass processor in China,we do every method to help avoid glass getting mildewed during transportation,kindly contact us if we can help.

The shower room is loved by consumers for its advantages such as small space, but it is disturbing that the  shower door glass has a spontaneous explosion rate of 3‰,whether it’s frameless shower door or framed ones. If you are not careful, your personal safety will be threatened. “Why does shower door glass explode?” The quality and safety of the shower room has become the most concerned issue for consumers CASE STUDY :People get hurt for glass explosion. Last month, Ms. Wong gave the child a bath at home, but the family were all injured. Ms. Wong “I was about to close the door and found that the door magnet didn’t work.Unexpectedly, just after Ms. Pei’s husband’s hand was placed on the tempered glass door ,the glass exploded.The glass exploded from the middle and all hit my back. Ms. Wong’s back, legs and hands were all scratched by glass, and there were obvious wounds on her husband’s arms. shower door glass spontaneous breakage What caused shower door glass explosion? Why does the shower room explode? Many people naturally associate the shower room with the temperature difference? Is it really? Next, use three experiments to prove, everyone pay attention to it~ Test 1:Is the shower room explosion caused by uneven heating? In the hot summer, the highest temperature of the glass surface is about 65℃. When hitting the tempered glass with a hammer a few times, and the glass was intact. Hitting tempered glass at 65 degree Next, start to heating the glass with a spray gun for 10 minutes until the glass temperature reaches 300°C, but there is no problem. heating glass to 300 degrees This also means that the temperature will not leading to tempered glass spontaneous explosion. Now let’s see if the shower room bursts due to the alternating cold and hot in the bathroom? We use cold water to pour directly on the glass in the high temperature of 300 ℃. the tempered glass suddenly encountered cold water but smoked a little, but did not burst. cold water cannot cause glass breakage In fact, high-quality tempered glass encountered a heating process (650-700 degrees) and fast cooling process,After a special process, the general temperature will not cause the tempered glass to explode. Test 2:Is the shower room explosion caused by float glass quality? The deciding reason for glass spontaneous explosion is the float glass used, because the float itself contains impurities—nickel sulfide. The more impurities and bubbles, the higher the rate of spontaneous explosion. Next, use low-quality tempered glass that is cheaper and has obvious impurities to continue the experiment. impurity inside glass The tempered glass temperature has increased by 200℃, and pour cold water on the glass. When cold water touched the glass, the glass broke and collapsed in less than 2 seconds. poor quality glass broken under cold water There are sulfide stones in this glass. After the experiment, the sulfide stones cause micro-cracks in the glass, which causes the glass to explode spontaneously. Uneven heat and cold is the inducement of the glass explosion, and the fundamental reason is bad glass quality. There are impurities in the float glass, which will change the stress of the whole glass and cause spontaneous explosion when affected by the temperature difference. Therefore, do not buy cheap shower room.   Test 3:Improper installation also leading to glass explosion. Two pieces quality tempered glass, the same size and the same thickness,. One piece without any processing. The other one is reinforced at 4 corners, 3 loose and 1 tight, let’s see if there is any glass firmness difference.When installing reinforced tempered glass, it is required to to have even force around it. But testers deliberately tightened the screw in one of the corners to simulate improper installation. glass test 3 to test if installation affect glass strength The tempered glass that has not been treated has been smashed a lot and no broken. glass impact test-untreated glass The reinforced toughened glass broke very soon. Therefore, toughened glass that looks very durable will become very fragile as long as the stress structure changes.   This shows how important shower room installation is. Therefore, everyone must go to the physical store to buy the shower room. Not only can you intuitively see the quality , but also the physical store can give you professional services. Below is the full process of the test: Learn more about glass spontaneous breakage:The reason of tempered glass self explosion How shall we purchase the right shower door? Check glass quality. A good shower room has transparent glass and no defects such as dots and bubbles. There is tempering logoon the glass corner. TEMPERED GLASS LOGO-MORN-SGCC-KITEMARK-CHINA-GLASS Check aluminium profiles Look at the hardness of aluminum The thickness of the qualified shower room aluminum profile is above 1.2mm,The hardness of aluminum can be tested by pressing the aluminum frame by hand. Aluminum with a hardness of 13 degrees or more is difficult for an adult to deform by pressing it by hand. A good shower room has a smooth surface, no chromatic aberration and perfect surface treatment. shower room with aluminium profiles and hardware Check the hardware The slider and the track should be closely matched, with a small gap, and not easy to fall off when impacted by external forces to avoid safety accidents. Use 304 and even 316 stainless steel hardware to ensure quality. Check shower door water tightness The main checking points of the water tightness of the shower room are The connection between the shower room and the wall The joint between the door and the door The connection between the shower room and the stone base and the bottom basin Check the sealability of the rubber strip and the rubber strip More details ,please refer to our post:How to select the right bathroom shower door Morn is your quality shower door glass manufacturer and supplier in China,we work with CSG,XYG high quality raw materials and precise processing to avoid crackles,scratches,or any other defects that causing possible glass breakage,contact us if any requirement.

YAOHUA GLASS In 1922,Qinhuangdao Yaohua Glass introduced the Asien’s first fourcault process glass production line.The founder Zhou Xue Xi was important person in “Westernization movement”. Since then,Yaohua ,which means “Sparkle China”,became the most famous brand in glass industry. YAOHUA GLASS-1945-1948 But now,Qinhuangdao Yaohua has diversified into many field,such as borosilicate glass,float glass line manufacturing,processing equipment processing ,glass fiber,glassware. With the emerge of more and more competitors such as CSG,XINYI,TG,Jinjing,Yaohua was lagged behind, now you can hardly find Yaohua website,and their products in the building glass market except some hard coated reflective glass,clear float glass,tinted float glass. But this cannot change its milestone position in the China glass development,during it’s most glorious time,many processors name themselves with “Yaohua”,just because “Yaohua” was so famous around China. I can find 666 glass processors and stores named with “Yaohua glass”,in which many become famous exporters and known by the world,many are closed. The naming also happened to many other big groups,such as SYP(Shanghai Yaopi),Northglass. You can see Qinghai Northglass,Jiangsu Northglass,Shandong northglass,Shenzhen northglass,and also some traders name themselves “Northglass”. Enterprise name is just a code,everyone has the chance to grow up but also many many challenges. Name cannot change much,sincerity and integrity is the most important.

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos.FACTORS AFFECT GLASS ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCEGlass thickness,PVB thickness,Spacer thickness in IGU affect the overall glass acoustic performance. Glass Thickness Glass thickness,or glass unit weight per square meter is the deciding factor that affect the overall soundproof performance. Whether it’s single piece monolithic glass,laminated glass,or insulated glass,the thicker total glass thickness,the better sound transmission loss.Sample STC: Glass Configuration31033.155.14-16-410-16-4 STC /Db283628323036 OITC /Db222128322431 Laminated Glass Interlayer PVB or SGP,EVA, these materials used in laminated glass are soft materials with uneven surface,it can decrease the vibration and work as good barrier for sound transmission.

Glass Configuration64.455.446.44-16-65-16-56-16-4 STC /Db363536343333 OITC /Db323232282828 Spacer Thickness The spacer thickness used in insulated glass will also affect the STC,bigger spacer will have better STC.That’s the reason why many theaters need thicker insulated glass to get better noise control effect. Glass Configuration6-12-66-16-66-20-66-24-6 STC /Db34353433 OITC /Db29292828 Argon Argon used in the insulated glass not only protect the glass coatings,increase the thermal insulation perfromance,but also decrease the glass STC.As argon is inert gas,the sound conductivity is also lower than normal air filled insulated glass. ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONSCreate Silence With Morn Acoustic Glass Solution After knowing the detailed factors that affect glass acoustic performance,here is Morn ‘s acoustic Solutions. Increase Glass Thickness Increase the glass thickness if possible. Whether it’s heat treated glass,laminated glass,or insulated glass,increase the glass total thickness to get better acoustic performance. Acoustic Laminated Glass Even though the interlayer thickness don’t affect the glass STC, laminated glass is still the priority option in enhancing the glass acoustic and safety performance. Try to use un-equal glass panels in laminated glass,this will bring difficulty into glass processing. Taking advantage of professional acoustic PVB products.Acoustic PVB from EASTMAN is highly recommended. Insulated Glass The Insulated glass include 2 or more pieces glass panels,the spacer also works in reducing glass STC,12A and 16A is highly recommended. Argon is recommended to increase glass life time,but also defend the noise outside. Combined Glass Configuration Combining different glass configurations,laminated insulated glass,insulated laminated glass, and even double laminated insulated glass to get the best soundproof effect.

Alejandro Lamar, Aluminios Lamar SA #### Aluminium Solutions Aluminium Products For glass facade projects,Whether it’s stick curtain wall,hidden fram curtain wall,unitized curtain wall,the best partner of architectural glass is Aluminim. Beside architectural glass products,Morn aluminium solutions include extruded aluminium profiles,aluminium solid panels,aluminium windows & doors,system windows. Aluminium SolutionsAluminium Profiles Aluminium profiles is produced by extrusion process involves a preheated billet being squeezed through an opening in a steel die forming the cross-section of the extrusion or profile.After extrusion process,aluminium profiles surface can be treated with different paints:Mill finish,Anodized finish,powder coating finish and PVDF coating,wood transfer process to suit various clients and design requirement. One of the main advantages of the aluminum alloy profile is corrosion resistance and durability. The aluminum profiles is widely used in environments with high humidity, acid rain, bad climate change or coastal areas. In the building structure, especially in modern high-rise civil buildings and large-scale public buildings with large spans and thin shell structures. As a semi-permanent structure, building aluminum profiles are essential for durability. We know that aluminum alloy profiles are divided into base materials, anodized profiles, aluminum profile electrophoretic paint profiles, powder coated aluminium profiles, PVDF coated aluminium profiles,thermal break aluminium profiles and so on. For users in coastal areas, it is best to choose electrophoretic painted aluminum profiles, powder coated aluminum profiles or PVDF aluminum profiles with good corrosion resistance. China extruded Aluminium profiles manufacturer-morn bm Aluminium windows &Doors Aluminium windows is becoming popular because of light weight,colorful appearance,long lifetime,excellent thermal insualtion property. Morn works with windows&doors manufacturers and supply all kinds of windows& doors products: Casement windows Sliding windows Pivoting windows Thermal break windows Awing windows System Windows& doors Folding doors Aluminium hung windows Thermal break aluminium profiles&windows-morn BM Aluminium Solid Panel The aluminum panel is made of high-grade aluminum alloy, and is processed by various processing techniques such as cutting, folding, bending, welding, reinforced, grinding, painting, etc. As a main choice for building cladding, aluminum veneer has a broad development space compared with exterior materials such as ceramic tile, glass, aluminum composite panel, honeycomb panel and marble. PVDF-Aluminium-plate-supplier-morn Features of aluminum solid panel: 1. Light weight, good rigidity and high strength. The 3.0mm thick aluminum plate weighs 8kg per square and tensile strength of 100-280n/mm2. 2. The board has good weather resistance and corrosion resistance. The pvdf paint based on kynar-500 and hylur500 can make the surface of the aluminum veneer not fade for 50 years. 3. Good processing performance. With the first processing and painting process, the aluminum plate can be processed into various complex geometries such as plane, arc and spherical. 4, the board coating is uniform, the color is diverse. The advanced electrostatic spraying technology makes the paint and the aluminum plate adhere to each other evenly, with various colors and large selection space. 5, aluminum veneer is not easy to stain, easy to clean and maintain. The non-adhesive nature of the fluorine coating film makes it difficult to adhere to the surface and has good self-cleaning properties. 6. Installation is convenient and fast. The aluminum plate is formed at the factory, and the construction site does not need to be cut and fixed on the skeleton. 7. The aluminum plate can be recycled and reused, which is beneficial to the environment. The aluminum plate can be 100% recycled, which is different from the decorative materials such as glass, stone, ceramics and aluminum-plastic board.

Alejandro Lamar, Aluminios Lamar SA #### Anti Reflective Glass ANTI REFLECTIVE GLASS Different from the anti reflective glass used in greenhouse industry,commerical buildings and special buildings,for example shopfront,museum,diamond showcase,need to the lowest reflectance to show products better,Morn works with anti reflective glass manufacturers and supply anti reflective products for special application. Anti Reflective Glass For shopfronts and MuseumAnti reflective coated glass,which means there’s a anti reflective coating on glass surface which can decrease the glass light reflectance,taking advantage of this new glass product,the direct solar transmittance can be decreased and widely used in glass greenhouse.While the decreased light transmittance also brings more clear appearance to some special application,such as shopping front,museum,showing cabinet etc. In the past years,the glass used in museum,shopping front are low iron glass,compared with normal clear glass,low iron glass don’t have green appearance ,but both clear glass and low iron glass has about 8% light reflectance,caused some problem,especially in Museum,the visitors cannot see the historical relic very clearly,and when taking pictures of the relics, the high light reflectance also caused visual distortion. The anti reflective glass main manufacturers are Taiwan Glass,Jinjing Glass,CSG glass in China,similar as low-E coated glass,it’s produced with magnetron sputtering technology ,combining with low iron glass,the glass light transmittance will increase about 4-5% and light reflectance can be decreased to only 1%,here is a performance compare between normal laminated glass and low iron anti reflective laminated glass. jinjing-anti-reflective-glass-TG-CSG-reflective-glass Glass ConfirgurationLT %LR (out) %LR (in) %SCSHGC 10C+1.52PVB+10C83880.780.68 10 Low Iron+1.52PVB+10 Low Iron89880.940.82 10 AR+1.52PVB+10 Low Iron90660.920.8 10 AR+1.52PVB+10 AR98110.930.81 5 AR-single side94.834.8 5 AR-double side990.67 The conclusion is: if single piece anti reflective coating used in the laminated glass,the light transmittance and reflectance don’t decrease much,but if 2 pieces anti reflective glass, the reflectance will be decreased to only 1%,and light transmittance is 98%,it will be very difficult to note the glass existing . Now anti reflective low iron laminated glass has widely used in exhibition industry,museum,showing cabinet,shop front,picture frame,glass facade and screen protection .Combining with other glass processing technology,such as tempering ,laminating,anti blasting coating,the anti reflective glass is becoming more and more popular,offering more security &protective functions .

FIND OUT MORESafety GlassProtect your privacy property with safety glass FIND OUT MORE #### Fireproof Glass Fireproof Glass Compared with traditional architectural glass,fireproof glass(or fire rated glass) is relatively new,some glass processors are not really understand the fireproof glass very well,fire-rated glass manufacturers usually named their fire resistant glass with unique code and don’t leak detailed glass configuration to clients. Morn supply fireproof glass and protect you if any fire happens. Fireproof Glass OptionsMonolithic Fireproof Glass For some areas that don’t require heat insulation ,cheap single panel fireproof glass is perfect . According to different processing methods,monolithic fireproof panels can be classified into 3 types: 1.High compression stress Glass Common tempered glass compression stress is over 90Mpa,high compression stress glass can rech over 150Mpa to make glass more solid. But the fireproof performance is blow 60mins, and cannot be big panels over 1.5sqm. 2.Monolithic potassium cesium fire resisitant glass It is a special chemical treatment for more than 20 hours of ion exchange at high temperature, replacing the metal sodium on the glass surface to form a low-expansion silicate glass with a coefficient of expansion of 1.8*10-6/0F (3.24*10-6/ K), so it has high heat resistance, and at the same time, through tempering process, the surface of the glass forms high compress stress, which greatly improves the impact strength. When the glass breaks, it shows a state of tiny particles, reducing damage to the human body.The strength of potassium cesium fire-resistant glass is 6-12 times that of clear glass and 1.5-3 times that of tempered glass. 3.High Borosilicate glass Its fire resistance is derived from its very low coefficient of thermal expansion – only 4 x 10 -6 (20-300C), which is 2 to 3 times lower than normal glass (silicate glass). In addition, borosilicate monolithic fire-resistant glass also has a high softening point, excellent thermal shock resistance and viscosity. Therefore, when a fire occurs, the borosilicate monolithic fireproof glass is not easy to expand and crack, and is a high-stability single-piece fireproof glass with a fire resistance time of up to 3 hours. Laminated Fireproof Glass Monolithic fireproof glass can be made into laminated glass combing with glass interlayers. Another method to make laminated fireproof glass,is laminated glass panels with Nano carbon silicate fire resisting materials. Whn been grilled by a thermal flame,the fireproof adhesive substrate foams and expands gradually ,unyil to be carbonized,hence it forms a proytective layer which has small thermal conductivity and good insulation properties.It prevent fire to spread to the other side of the fire area,weakening the heat radiation of the flame,hence it protects the glass and objects in the other side of the fire area and play an important role in the fire prevention. fire-rated glass door entrance supplier-morn Composite Fireproof glass Sodium silicate, is a water soluble binder,sodium silicate composite fire glass is two or three layers glass sheets,surrounded by a special flame retardant tape double sealed,and fill with sodium silicate fireproof glass liquid in the cavity is a special fireproof glass refractory glass and belongs to the national standard A class fireproof glass. When the fire occurs,the large amount of fireproof liquid in the middle of composite fireproof glass absorbing the heat and foam expansion and become opaque substances,effectively prevent the people from the fire when the panic.It can also effectively prevent the heat generated by the combusion from the fire surface to the back and can prevent the transmission of heat radiation,so that protect the escape or rescue peronnel in back fire area from high temperature,toxic gas damage and heat radiation burns,and to prevent the combustible material in back fire area ignited by the high temperature and heat radiation in a certain period of time,as as to prevent further spread of the fire. insulated fireproof glass manufacturer-morn Fire-resistance-test-curtain-wall RESOURCESCheck our fire resistant glass resources and blogs HIGH BOROSILICATE FIREPROOF GLASSFireproof glass types and classification The quite pleasant cooperation with Morn BM helps us winning more and more projects,Morn BM’s professional response is faster than light,they can always find the right materials we need with good price and good service,Morn makes continuous fast growing possible.

The main function of a greenhouse is to secure the ideal levels of humidity and heat, which can be generated from either sunlight or an alternative source. Glass greenhouses are expensive compared with other greenhouses and are suitable for large-scale ecotourism parks. The glass greenhouse has beautiful appearance, smooth visual flow, strong wind load capacity and large displacement, and is suitable for areas with high wind and rainfall. Greenhouse Glass OptionsClear Toughened Glass Traditional Greenhouse glass are  3mm or 4mm tempered glass ,the advantage is cheap and higher light transmittance,high strength to offer impact resistance. To guarantee the best quality greenhouse glass,recommended largest sizes are: 4mm glass: 2000mm *1800mm. 3.2mm glass: 1800*1200mm. 3mm glass:1800*1200mm Low iron toughend Glass Low iron glass light transmittance is 2% higher than clear tempered glass which allows more light transmit glass. Because of the existing of Nis in clear float glass,there’s glass spontaneous breakage possibility. Bad quality float glass will have high possibility of self explosion and bring trouble to your greenhouse.Replacement will be big problem while the most important is the temperature cannot be controlled well with broken glass. Low iron glass self breakage ratio is only 10% of clear toughened glass,because of low iron content. Low-iron-glass-VS-clear-glass Diffused Toughened Glass As there’s always some shields caused by the greenhouse structures,and lights,more and more growers select diffused glass in their new built greenhouse glass,There is no shade, the light distribution in the greenhouse is more uniform and thus also the height of the plants. In addition, there is no direct radiation to the crop.even the smallest ray of sunshine was optimally distributed and the available light was used to the full.Thanks to this advantage,the unit production efficiency is around 10% higher than other normal greenhouse. There’re 3 abailable diffused glass patterns:Mistlite,Nashiji,Suede.according to project location,glass Haze ratio changes from 5% to 75%. Anti-reflective Coated Glass AR coated glass or AR coated Anti-Reflective Glass is also known as enhanced transmission glass or anti reflective glass. The features of double side AR coated glass: The highest visible light transmittance is 98%. The average reflectance is less than 3%, and the lowest value is less than 0.5% High temperature resistance. Increase the uniformity of the greenhouse climate, particularly temperature and light  conditions Increase fruit production (by five to ten percent) of high-wire tomato and cucumber crops Increase flowering and decrease production time.

The biggest advantage of hard coated low-E, is it’s hard and no chemical reaction when exposed in the air,the coatings can be used in single glazing. The emissivity is about 0.15,which is much higher than soft coated low-E coatings,so glass made with hard coated low-E has higher U value.

Single Silver Low-E coating The first generation coating with one silver layer inside the coating.U value is about 1.8W/m2.K,SC varies from 0.3-0.7. It has been widely used in various buildings-Glass curtain wall,glass spandrel,etc. Features a.Visible light transmittance— adequate indoor natural day lighting. b.Solar energy transmittance — a wide range of shading coefficient available. c.High far infrared reflectance — low U-value, reduced thermal transfer due to temperature difference. Double Silver Low-E coating Two silver layers inside the coating. While maintaining the same visible light transmittance, it has lower shading coefficient than single silver Low-E. It filters the sunshine as a cool lighting source and provides a solution to energy efficiency in design of high transparency. Features a. Higher visible light transmittance — ensuring better natural lighting b. Extremely low solar heat transmittance — effectively impeding SHGC. Check the performance data:Morn Coated Glass Performance Data Triple Silver Low-E coating It’s developed especially for high latitude areas where require high light transmittance while with the lowest SC to Maximize the sunlight but decrease the thermal pass through the glass.

However, while cleaning is made easier and less frequent, the need to clean is not eliminated. Treated glass becomes both hydrophobic and oleophobic (water and oil repellent) protecting against most forms of dirt, minerals and grime. GLASS MATERIALSGlass Spacer To ensure the long lifetime and good thermal insulation performance,the edges must be sealed strictly to keep the space between glass panels.The spacer’s function are:keep insulated glass structural safety,insulate the IGU internal space.The spacer materials are: Aluminium Spacer:Traditional spacers used in the IGU are usually aluminium spacer,the disadvantage is high thermal conductivity. Stainless steel spacer:thermal conductivity lower than Aluminium,Stainless steel spacer has difficult in bending,so factories have to use steel connector to join the spacers,which make production efficiency quite low.So this is not widely used in IGU fabricators. Thermal break spacers, spacer compose metal and plastic materials.The main brands are Alupro,Technoform,Fenzi,Lisec. The is the most widely used warm edge spacers.ompared with non-metal materials,this kind spacer price is better and more convenient in production. Non-metal materials,such as superspacer, TPS,glass fiber stripes.The main brands are QUANEX,they have series products that compose the butyl,desiccant,and structural sealant, so secondary structural sealant is not necessary.But because there’s no high efficiency production lines that can produce this kind of insulated glass,the promotion and market for non-metal materials spacers are very limited. Argon filled IGU Argon is a kind of inert gas,compared with traditional air,Argin filled insulated glass have many advantages: Keep the IGU pressure balance ,glass burst due to the pressure difference can be reduced. Increase  insulated glass thermal property.Argon filled insulated glass U value is 0.2-0.3W/M2.K lower than normal IGU with air. Prolong insulated glass lifetime. prolong the desiccant service life in the aluminum spacer frame. Protect the low-E coating. Decreasing the low-E coating oxidation rate and prolonging the lifetime of the coated glass. the heat convection in the insulated glass can be slowed down, and the sound insulation and noise reduction effect can be further improved. Secondary Sealant There’re two kinds sealents used in insulated glass:Structural sealant & polysulfide sealant. Polysulfide sealant:Excellent resistance to high&low temperature and sealing performance. Structural silicon Sealant: High elasticity and high modulus,long lifetime,better structural performance. Capillary Tube Capillary tube is small stainless steel tube with only 1mm diameter,it’s installed on insulated glass edge(from aluminium spacer bar) and certain parts(around 50mm) is exposed outside to keep air flow inside and outside glass. Capillary tube is used in insulated glass to balance the air pressure inside and outside of insulted glass to avoid glass contract or expand after installation. Grill insulated glass Decorative grills is also made with aluminium profiles,Different from aluminium spacer bar,it’s used in glass middle,or glass center,it doesn’t support the insulated but only have decorative function.The grill color can be customized to be same as the windows frame,but do pay attention to the bar position to keep all cross bars in windows&doors paralled. U Channels Architects and designers in MEGA areas like to insert U channels at glass edge,the U channel will be embedded with the aluminium frame and work as supporting point for the glass,this will cause bigger and thicker spacer (over 20mm) and increased glass costs. Perforated IGU Insulated glass can also been used in point supported glass facade instead of tempered glass and laminated glass.To fix the spider and claw safety,Morn can supply insulated glass with perforations ,sealed with aluminium Drings for better and safe installation. Stepped Insulated Glass When it comes to semi-stick glass curtain wall, or glass skylight,stepped insulated glass,or offset insulated glass is used.Silicon sealant can be applied on the glass edge to make it keep uniform color as glass  sealant.

Alejandro Lamar, Aluminios Lamar SA #### Safety Glass Security Glass Safety Glass now is the most basic requirement when designing and constructing a new building. Avoid possible injury , keep glass security under complex and indeterminate nature condition &people ,selecting the right safety glass to ensure healthy life is quite necessary. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos.Safety Glass ClassificationSafety Glass now account over 90% of current building glass,whether it’s residental building ,or skyscrapers. Heat Treated Glass Heat treated glass, toughened glass,whether with or without heat soaking process,is the basic safety glass. Strength: 3-5 times higher strength than float glass. Safety:Will become small particle fragment after breaking. Heat soak process eliminate the possibility of toughened glass spontaneous breakage. But heat strengthened glass ,even though it’s widely used in high rise buildings,it’s still not safety glass.The purpose of adopting heat strengthened glass,is after glass breaking,it will keep integrity and won’t collapse. Heat treated safety glass is used in glass balustrade,glass canopy,glass poolfence,glass stairs,glass balcony,windows &doors,facade. Learn more:Heat treated glass PVB Laminated Glass PVB laminated glass ,is combined 2 or more lites glass with PVB interlayer,whether it’s heat treated or float glass. Acoustic. Reduce at least 30Dbs noise across the glass. Safety:PVB interlayer can combine 2 piles monolithic when broken,decrease the injury possibility. UV-Resistance:Laminated glass provides 99% UV light blockage at the wavelength range of ~300 – 380 nanometers. PVB laminated glass application is similar as heat treated glass,the additional advantage is,if single piece broken,another piece and the interlayer will keep glass integrity and,fragments won’t fall. Learn more:Laminated Glass Hurricane Proof Glass Window failure is one of the leading causes of building failure in a hurricane or cyclone.Trosifol®  SentryGlas Plus helped rewrite building codes in storm zones, by raising protection in glass to a new level. SentryGlas Plus has very high strength,SGP laminated glass bearing capability is 2 times that of PVB laminated glass,but the bending deflection of SGP laminated is only 1/4 of PVB ones under the same thickness and load condition. The tearing strength of SGP interlayer is 5 times higher than PVB film,even if the glass breaks,the SGP can also stick the glass and form a temporary structure while keeping small bending deformation,it can withstand a certain amount of load and whole piece laminated glass won’t fall or deform. https://mornglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/PVB-LAMI-VS-SGP-LAMINATED-GLASS.mp4 Bulletproof Glass Bulletproof glass,is some high end glass that can resist the impact of bullet，it’s made with multi layer clear float glass and PVB interlayers,as well as some special bulletproof films,and PC panels. The impact of high speed bulet hits on the glass and cracks the glass,with the deformation produced warheads,the kinetic energybe reduced or absored until prevented,while the glass fragments are stuck by organic interlayer and avoid injury.

The visual performance of its unique and excellent light transmittance increases the building’s Light and shadow changes. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos.STRUCTURAL GLASS APPLICATIONSBuilding types require structural safety glass Point Supported Glass Facade Point supported glass facade are usually made with thick monothlic toughened glass/heat soaked glass over 10mm.Thicker glass have higher stiffness,and toughening process brings safety to glass. Glass Fins provides support and backup structure for structural glass designs and to prevent buckling of the structural glazing.Typical glass fins are 15mm,19mm toughened glass,but more glass are tempered laminated glass with higher strength. Point-supported-glass-facade-morn-building-materials Glass Bridge & Skywalk Popular glass bridge in China is beoming new spark for tourist attraction.The unique exciting transparency and lifelike appearance increase tourists interets and maximum taking advantage of glass transparency charaters. Typical glass used are triple low iron heat soakedlaminated glass with Kuraray SentryGlass Plus interlayer to ensure glass safety.The skywalk also been used in commercial building corridors. Glass Floor & Stairs Structural glass was also be applied in interior areas,especially glass stairs and glass floor.This trend is being driven by the increased desire to provide more open plan, unique, stylish designs. Compared with traditional opaque materials,This interior application of structural glass brings better lighting and enhance the decoration effect. Glass railing hardware&glass staircase Glass Aquarium Low iron glass is widely used in small sized Aquarium . The appearance of ocean world and sealife park is getting high structural grequirement for hydraulic pressure reason.Glass are typical structural laminated glass with SGP interlayer with high safety,and high post-breakage sustaining capability.

Heat Transfer TypesTransfer heat from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object: heat conduction, heat convection, and thermal radiation. Heat Conduction Heat Conduct is a phenomenon in which thermal energy is transferred due to the contact of various mass points in the same substance. Glass is good heat conductivity through which far infrared is quite easy to penetrate from the higher temperature side to the low temperature side. Heat Convection Heat transfer is the flow of liquid or gas caused by thermal expansion, the hot part rises, and the cold part falls, thereby transferring heat energy. That is, the energy transfer caused by the movement of an object from a certain area of ​​space to another area of ​​different temperature. Thermal Radiation Heat radiation means that the heat energy becomes radiant wave energy and is directly emitted. When it reaches an impermeable substance, it is absorbed by it and then becomes heat energy; In glass industry,the heat radiation means glass itself have high temperature after absorbing solar energy and becomes heat energy itself. THERMAL INSULATION SOLUTIONSReduce your costs in heat and A/C ,enjoy the convenient interior temperature. After knowing the detailed factors that affect glass thermal insulation performance,here is Morn ‘s thermal insulation Solutions.SHGC and U value are the key points deciding glass thermal insulation performance. Body Tinted Glass Different from normal clear glass and low iron glass,body tinted glass ,body tinted glass -Grey,Bronze,Green,Pink etc can absorb solar energy and makes glass surface temperature much higher,then conduct the heat to interior surface. Body tinted glass have same U value with normal glass but much lower SC value. Glass Combination6 Clear6 Low Iron6 Grey6 Green SC0.971.030.690.69 U-Winter5.815.815.815.81 U-Summer5.255.245.255.25 Insulated Glass For single piece glass and laminated glass,glass itself is good heat conductivy.Insulated glass is quite different,the spacer between 2 glass panels ,becomes the only materials that allow heat been conducted from the exterior piece glass to the interior one. As the spacer is quite slim and small,only limited heat can be conducted and the space created also limited the heat convection and decrease the glass U value. The spacer materials can be aluminium spacer,stainless steel spacer,warm edge spacer,superspacer,TPS, the smaller thermal conducvity materials,the better U value, Standard Spacer thickness is 12mm,16mm,18mm,but bigger space doesn’t mean better U value,Once space thickness is over 20mm,the U value will decrease slightly and even increase on the contrary. Argon.Argon can replace the air between glass,This inert gas can decrease overall glass U value by 0.2W/M2.K through decrease the thermal conducvity. Triple insulated glass is recommended to get better U value and SC value,this is the typical glass configuration for passive house glass.

The main function of the coating is to decrease glass heat radiation.Hard coated low-E emmisivity is about 0.15,the biggest advantage of hard coated low-E is,its chemical performance and firmness is quite good,can be used as single piece glass, and laminated glass,insulated glass. In China,only AGC and SYP ,Jinjing glass produce limited hard coated low-E glass:Planible G,Sunergy,SY-48,Energy Advantage,SGE60,SGC60,performance data in below table: Glass TypeGlass SubstrateLTU SummerU-WinterSC AGC Planbel GClear803.063.870.78 AGC SunergyClear693.424.170.68 AGC SY-48Clear513.714.380.55 Energy AdvantageClear832.743.610.82 SGE 60Crystal Grey562.863.710.61 SGC 60Euro Grey422.873.720.55 Soft Coated Low-E Soft coated low-E,also named as off-line low-E,it is generally vacuum-magnetized sputter coating process, and a multi-layer composite film is coated on the surface of the glass to realize Low-E function. The main functional film layer in the film layer is generally silver (Ag) film, which can be subdivided into single silver low e, double silver low e and triple silver low e. Soft Coated low-E glass emmisivity is much lower than hard cated low-E,emmisivity is usually below 0.1,and most advanced triple silver low-E,for example,solarban 70XL,emmisivity is only 0.03. The only sortage of soft coated low-E is can only been insulated inside the IGU,it’s easy to be oxidized and dameged once been exposed in the air. In China,there’re hundreds of soft coating lines producing all kinds of soft coated low-E products,available glass substrate can be clear,low iron,body tinted glass etc,light transmittance varies from 10%-85%,and SC value varies from 0.2-0.65,below are some sample low-E performance we produce: Glass ConfigurationSubstrateLT %U-SummerU-WinterSC Clear 6-12-6Clear792.702.840.81 Single PLE88A 6-12-6Clear751.811.810.66 Double PDE80A 6-12-6Clear711.581.640.48 Triple MTE70 6-12-6Clear661.581.640.35 Vacuum Glass The vacuum glass is also made with 2 pieces single piece glass and spacer.The difference is ,Vacuum glass has a 0.2-0.4mm vacuum space between 2 piece glass,some mineral supporting points are placed between the glass to ensure that the vacuum glass won’t shrink. Its thermal performance is 2-4 times that of insulated glass,6-10 times that of single piece glass.
