U-shaped glass characteristics
U-shaped glass (also known as trough glass) is a new type of building profile glass, which has been produced and applied for nearly 40 years at home and abroad. It is produced continuously by the method of calendering first and forming later. Because its cross section is of the shape of "U", so it is named. There are many kinds of U-shaped glass, with the ambition of light transmittance, heat insulation, heat preservation and high mechanical strength, not only a wide range of uses, simple construction, and has a unique architectural and decorative effect, and can save a lot of light metal profiles, so it is used by urban and rural buildings in many regions of the world.
The main characteristics of U-shaped glass are as follows:
1. Energy saving: U-glass has low heat transfer coefficient (double-layer U-glass K = 2.39W/m2k, shading coefficient SC = 0.31, transmittance of 81%), excellent heat insulation and insulation function. Compared with 6mm+12A+6mm LOW-E insulating glass (K = 1.66W/m2k, shading coefficient SC = 0.31, transmittance of 35%), U-type glass has better light transmission function, more conducive to the lighting of the stadium.
2. Economy: U-type glass is a continuous calendering method of glass profiles, so that building glass from sheet to profile, so its general cost is relatively low, the selection of U-type glass curtain wall can save a lot of steel or aluminum.
3. Green and environmental protection: Because of the high light transmittance of U-shaped glass, it can not only save the indoor lighting cost of buildings, but also humanized working environment when used in public buildings such as office buildings. And U-shaped glass recycled broken and waste glass to maintain the environment.
4. The construction of U-type glass equipment is simple and convenient: because U-type glass can be directly used as the main force component of the curtain wall, compared with the general glass curtain wall, many keel and other accessories are saved, the production equipment is simple and convenient, greatly shortening the construction period and reducing the cost.
Save a lot of metal materials, as well as the advantages of simple construction, suitable for the interior and exterior walls of the building, partition wall, roof and window
