Architectural Glass

Annealed glass is the most commonly used architectural glass. It has good surface flatness because it is not heat-treated and therefore not subject to distortion typically produced during glass tempering. On the downside, annealed glass breaks into sharp, dangerous shards. Heat-strengthened and fully-tempered glass are heat-treated glass products, heated and quenched in such a way to create residual surface compression in the glass. The surface compression gives the glass generally higher resistance to breakage than annealed glass.

Heat-strengthened glass has at least twice the strength and resistance to breakage from wind loads or thermal stresses comparing to annealed glass. The necessary heat treatment generally results in some distortion compared to annealed glass. Like annealed glass, heat-strengthened glass can break into large shards.

Tempered glass is a heat toughened safety glass. It has undergone a special heat treatment to increase its strength and resistance to impact. In fact, tempered glass is approximately five times more resistant than normal glass. As an example, a piece of 8mm tempered glass will be able to withstand a steel ball weighing 500g dropped from a height of 2 meters.
Features:

1. 5 times harder than ordinary float glass, stronger resistance to thermal breakage than annealed or heat strengthened glass.
2. Once breakage occurs, the glass disintegrates into small cubical fragments, which are relatively harmless to human body.
3. It withstands abrupt temperature change of 220 Centigrade.
4. Sizes are produced as per customer request. Once tempered, it can not be cut down.

Usage: Window glass; Door glass; Curtain wall glass; Fencing glass in buildings, hotels, etc.

Fully-tempered glass (toughened glass) 

Provides at least four times the strength of annealed glass, which gives it superior resistance to glass break- age. It is float or plate glass that has been heated and rapidly cooled, increasing its inher- ent strength and ductility. Similar to heat-strengthened glass, the heat-treatment generally results in some distortion. If it breaks, fully-tempered glass breaks into many small frag- ments, which makes it suitable as safety glazing under certain conditions. It is used for windows that are exposed to high wind pressure or extreme heat or cold.

Clear Sheet Glass

Sheet glass also called Glaverbel glass, plate glass, it is made by mix high-quality sand, soda ash, dolomite and other chemical materials into glass furnace by a high temperature, take in turn through flat drawn, forming, anneal, cut and packing finish, clear sheet glass have high quality and competitive prices, pristine surface, natural daylight, high light transmittance(88%) and uniform thickness. Multiple processing options: may be be tempered, laminated,polished edge and so on. Multiple applications: ideal for furniture(cupboard, lamp, photo frame, welding glass lens), building(windows ,greenhouse,....)
