Tempered glass English is Tempered or Toughened glass, processed at temperatures from 650 degrees Celsius, then cooled quickly using compressed air.As a result, the stress on the surface of tempered glass is increased, helping the glass to withstand much better loads than normal glass.This instantaneous heating and cooling process is called glazing.This will cause the glass surface to be pressed tightly and the glass in the middle to stretch.Thanks to that, when the tempered glass breaks, it will break into small round pieces that are not dangerous to people standing nearby.Although tempered glass is more durable than normal glass, it can still break if exposed to strong external influences.From practice, users have compiled the top 6 reasons why tempered glass breaks, including:1. Time and temperature: over the years of use, the quality of the windshield will degrade.Abrasion and minor damage on the edges of the glass is often the root of the problem.In addition, the effects of ambient temperature will cause the glass to expand or contract suddenly and make the glass more susceptible to breakage.2. Tempered glass is installed incorrectly: when installing and installing glass, some technicians screw or tighten the frame too tightly, accidentally causing the glass to crack.After a long time of use, that part of the wound gradually spread due to the influence of the environment.By the time the pressure is large enough, the tempered glass will break.3. Tempered glass frame is too tight: during use, tempered glass will have a certain expansion due to the influence of ambient temperature.Therefore, if installing the frame, technicians must calculate the hollowness of the frame carefully.If the frame is tightened too tightly, there won't be any space for the glass to expand and contract.With the pressure from the frame, the tempered glass will be easily broken.4. Nickel Sulfide impurities: Nickel sulfide stones are available in stainless steel machines.Therefore, tempered glass will be easily mixed with Nickel Sulfide impurities during the production and tempering process.This type of stone often changes its structure over time, so creating pressure from the inside causes the tempered glass to quickly break.5. Toughened glass manufacturing defect: cracks and scratches that appear due to manufacturing process will reduce the durability of tempered glass.6. Strong impact: even though tempered glass has high hardness and bearing capacity, if it is impacted by sharp objects for a long time or has a strong impact, it is still likely to be broken.If normal glass is used, large, sharp shards of glass or glass shards can be harmful to someone who is accidentally touched.Especially for high-rise buildings that are subjected to a lot of pressure from the weather or are hit by many foreign objects from above, it will be very dangerous if the impact glass is ordinary glass.Unlike normal glass, although tempered glass is still capable of breaking, it will form small round particles in the form of blunt, the level of damage is not too dangerous for people around and is almost harmless.That is the reason that tempered glass is safer than ordinary glass, that safety will be a big plus for them to be used for high-rise buildings.Tempered glass is not only installed in high-rise buildings but they are also easily seen in daily life.The windshields around the car or the protective screen for the phone are made from tempered glass.To understand why tempered glass is so popular, let's take the example of a car windshield.Cars are always exposed to extreme weather and constantly changing temperatures outdoors.They also occasionally encounter bumps from small stones on the road to traffic accidents.To limit the damage caused by the above impacts, a tempered glass panel will be the perfect choice because of its durability and safety even in the event of a strong impact.In addition, tempered glass also has other typical applications such as: making balcony railings, making doors, making partitions (office, bathroom, living room), making dining tables, aquariums, .. .Classification by thickness of tempered glassTempered glass is available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm thicknesses.The higher the thickness, the greater the safety level.The minimum thickness of tempered glass is 3mm, however, this thickness is quite thin, low strength, so they are rarely used.Sort by color of tempered glass.The colors of tempered glass are diverse because they can be painted in any color according to the needs of the customer.Common types such as frosted and transparent glass will be used to install doors and partitions.High coverage, bright colors such as dark blue, green, tea color will be used as the roof of the floor to limit light coming in.In addition to its durability and ability to withstand external forces 4-5 times better than ordinary glass, tempered glass also has high aesthetics.In the process of heat processing, they can be bent and formed into beautiful, practical shapes, meeting the needs of users.- As mentioned above, tempered glass can withstand the changes of weather.Namely, they can withstand 3 times more sudden changes in temperature than ordinary glass of the same thickness.In construction, in addition to the protective function, tempered glass also has the ability to insulate sound, reduce heat, and limit radiation from sunlight.Another advantage of tempered glass is that they can be cleaned very easily.Making a tempered glass without fuss makes them very easy to maintain and replace.- Because of the superior characteristics of ordinary glass, the price of tempered glass will be higher than that of ordinary glass.The price of glass usually ranges from 150,000 - 1,000,000/m2 while the price of tempered glass will be from 250,000 - 2,000,000/m2.The price per square meter is not significant but will fluctuate a lot with high quantities.However, we should use a large number of tempered glass for a high-rise building to ensure safety.- Tempered glass cannot be drilled or cut, so we should use these operations on normal glass first and then toughen it into tempered glass.- Although easy to clean, tempered glass should still be cleaned regularly to avoid fogging of glass, causing unsightly building.In addition to cleaning, tempered glass should also be regularly maintained every 2 months.If the glass shows bad signs such as hinges misaligned, rusted or overloaded, it should be serviced immediately.Protecting the image will help the product to be durable and safe for users- It is recommended to use tempered glass with a thickness of 8mm for doors, partitions and 12mm or more for railings and roofs.Since these points are subject to a great deal of force, the safety and durability requirements will depend on the thickness of the glass.- Although high strength is a great advantage of tempered glass, during use, sudden temperature changes can cause the glass to break or explode.The rate of this happening is very low, but we should still be careful to limit strong impacts to the glass.Complicated procedures or long waiting times for buying and selling have made the demand for...There are many cases due to feng shui errors that cause real estate transactions to depreciate, many people have to sell...An apartment building that wants to operate well and effectively cannot lack maintenance regulations....Ngoc Linh 2 days ago PanoramaTram Anh 2 days ago KnowledgeHoang Vy 2 days ago PanoramaTran Van Anh 3 days ago VideoNguyet Minh 3 days ago KnowledgeHoang Vy 3 days ago PanoramaTran Van Anh 3 days ago Analysis – CommentHoang Vy 10:29 08/10/2022 PanoramaThien Minh 09:35 10/08/2022 KnowledgeThai Ngan 09:24 10/08/2022 KnowledgeVIETNAM REAL ESTATE FORUMOperating under license number 566/GP-BTTTT issued by the Ministry of Information and Communications on December 4, 2020Operation: Hoang Lam Real Estate Investment Joint Stock CompanyAddress: No. 6 Ho Tung Mau, Ward Nguyen Thai Binh, District 1, HCMCEmail: batdongsantoancanh@gmail.comInfo: toancanhbatdongsan.com.vn@gmail.com* Copyright: 2018-2021 Copyright belongs to Panorama Real Estate.Reproduction in any form is prohibited without written consent.TERMS OF USE -
