Glass brief classification is divided into flat glass and special glass. There are three main types of flat glass: the introduction of the plate glass (there are two kinds of slots/grooves), the flatbed glass and the float glass. Because of float glass because of uniform thickness, smooth appearance parallel, coupled with high productivity and to deal with the aspects of factors, main stream of float glass is a glass manufacturing method. Special glass is a variety of kinds, the following is according to the common types in decoration:

    1. Ordinary flat glass.

    1, 3--4 mm glass, mm in everyday also known as centi. What we mean by 3mm glass is the glass with a thickness of 3mm. This standard glass is first used for frame appearance.

    2. 5--6 mm glass, first used for exterior wall Windows, door fans, etc.

    3. 7--9 mm glass, first used in indoor screen and other large scale but with structural maintenance.

    4. 9--10 cm glass, can be used for indoor large distance, boom and other decoration projects.

    5. 11--12 mm glass, can be used in the ground spring glass door and some activities of large distances.

    6. More than 15 per cent glass, generally on the market is less, often needs to order, first used in a large area of the ground spring glass door wall glass wall.

    Second, other glass other glass said, only the author in the classification when compared to plate glass, is not the industry formal classification.

    The first:

    1. Toughened glass. It is a kind of prestressed glass which is processed by reprocessing. The tempered glass has two characteristics compared to the ordinary flat glass: 1) the former is several times stronger than the latter, and the tensile strength is more than three times that of the latter, and the impact is more than five times that of the latter. 2) toughened glass is not easy to be broken, even if broken, it will be broken in a non-sharp way, and the damage to human body will be greatly reduced.

    2. Frosted glass. It is also in the general flat glass top of grinding sand processing. The general thickness is more than 9 cm, with 5, 6 cm thickness.

    3. Sandblasted glass. The function is basically similar to the frosted glass, and the different grinding sand is sandblasted. Because they are visually similar, many owners, even decoration professionals, confuse them.

    4. Embossed glass. It is a kind of flat glass which is made by means of calender. Its biggest characteristic is the light is opaque, use more in toilet to wait for decorate area.

    5. Wired glass. It is to choose the method of pressing, the metal wire or the metal mesh is embedded in the glass plate to make a kind of anti-impact plate glass, the impact of the impact will only be a radiation crack and not to fall down. Therefore, it is used for high-rise buildings with strong vibration.

    6. Insulating glass. Choose glue method to keep two pieces of glass to be sure distance, the distance is dry air, the periphery is sealed with sealing material again, the first use is to have sound insulation requirement decorate project.

    7. Laminated glass. The laminated glass is usually composed of two general plate glass (which can also be made of tempered glass or other special glass) and glass. When damaged, the debris still adheres to the adhesive layer, avoiding damage to the human body. Used for decoration projects with safety requirements.

    8. Bullet-proof glass. In fact, it is a kind of laminated glass, only the glass that consists of the glass with high strength, and the number of interlayers is relatively high. Choose to use for the bank perhaps the mansion to wait for safety requirement very tall decorate a project.

    Hot curved glass. It is heated and softened by plate glass to form in the mould, and then the curved glass is made by annealing. In some high-end decoration, the frequency is higher and higher, demand reservation, no spot.

    10. Glass bricks. The manufacturing process of vitreous brick is same as flat glass, different is molding method. Its center is dry air. More for decorative items may have a thermal insulation requirement for light transmission modeling.

    11. Cellophane. Also called glass film, with a variety of colors and patterns. According to the function of paper membrane, it has different functions. Most of the heat insulation, anti - infrared, anti - ultraviolet, explosion - proof effect.

    Precautions in glass construction and application.

    1. Be sure to pay attention to fixed and soft pads during transportation. An upright method is generally recommended for transport. Vehicle driving should also be aware of maintaining stability and moderate speed.

    2. If the other side of the glass device is closed, pay attention to cleaning the appearance before the device. It is best to use the special glass cleaner, and to be dry after the proof of the device, the best use of clean construction gloves.

    3. The device of glass shall be fixed with silicone sealant, and in the Windows and other devices, it shall also be used in cooperation with rubber seal.

    4. After the completion of the construction, you should pay attention to the sign of anti-collision warning, which can be used as a reminder, such as non-stick, colorful electrical tape, etc.
