The difference between wired glass and ordinary glass

Wired glass offers advantages such as fire resistance, safety, and theft prevention. Compared to ordinary glass, it possesses unique advantages.


Wired glass requires the metal wire (mesh) to have a coefficient of thermal expansion close to that of the glass, making it less susceptible to chemical reactions. It possesses high mechanical strength, a certain degree of magnetism, and a clean, oil-free surface.


Wired glass, also known as shatterproof glass, is made by heating ordinary flat glass to a red-hot, softened state and then pressing preheated wire or wire mesh into the center of the glass. Wired glass is characterized by excellent fire resistance, flame resistance, resistance to shattering at high temperatures, and the ability to shatter without causing injury. It also offers theft prevention benefits, with the wire mesh protecting against cuts. Wired glass is primarily used for skylights and balcony windows.


Wired glass is generally over 5mm thick and comes in various types, including embossed, polished, and colored glass. It also comes in various shapes, including flat, corrugated, and grooved.

 

Wired glass is a type of flat glass made by rolling metal wire or mesh into a sheet of glass. It's durable and impact-resistant. When impacted, it only forms radial cracks, preventing damage. Therefore, it's commonly used in high-rise buildings and factories subject to high vibrations.


Wired glass is a type of safety glass. Pre-woven steel wire is pressed into softened, red-hot glass to create wired glass. The wire mesh reinforces wired glass, resulting in higher flexural strength and resistance to temperature fluctuations than standard glass. Even if the glass has numerous cracks, the shards remain attached to the wire, preventing them from flying and injuring anyone. Wired glass boasts a glossy color and is suitable for ceilings and partitions, creating a bright, spacious, and elegantly luxurious living space.
