The safety performance of exterior glass: safeguarding the peace inside and outside the building
Exterior glass plays an important role in modern architecture, and its safety performance directly affects the life and property safety of building users. Good safety performance can effectively prevent safety accidents such as glass breakage causing injury and falling.
Tempered glass: a sturdy safety barrier
Tempered glass is a commonly used material to improve the safety performance of exterior wall glass. It uses a special heat treatment process to create compressive stress on the surface of the glass and tensile stress inside, greatly improving the strength of the glass. Compared with ordinary glass, tempered glass has improved its impact resistance by 3-5 times and can withstand larger external impacts.
When tempered glass is damaged by external forces, it will break into small blunt angle particles, which are not as sharp and sharp as ordinary glass fragments, greatly reducing the risk of harm to the human body. Therefore, tempered glass is widely used in doors, windows, curtain walls and other parts of buildings, especially in densely populated public places such as shopping malls, stations, schools, etc.
Laminated glass: a safety guard with multiple protections
Laminated glass is composed of two or more pieces of glass and an organic polymer intermediate film in between. When glass is impacted by external forces, the intermediate film can absorb and disperse the impact force, making the glass less prone to breakage. Even if the glass breaks, the fragments will stick to the intermediate film and will not splash and injure people.
Laminated glass also has good penetration resistance, which can effectively block the intrusion of foreign objects and improve the safety of buildings. In some places with high safety requirements, such as banks, jewelry stores, museums, etc., laminated glass is widely used in the design of doors, windows, and curtain walls.
Glass installation and maintenance: an important guarantee for safety
In addition to selecting glass materials with good safety performance, proper installation and regular maintenance are also key to ensuring the safety of exterior wall glass. During the installation process, it is necessary to strictly follow the construction specifications and requirements to ensure that the glass is firmly and reliably fixed and has good sealing performance.
Regular inspection and maintenance of glass should not be ignored. Check whether there are cracks, scratches, and other defects on the surface of the glass, whether the sealing strip is aged or damaged, and whether the connecting parts are loose. Timely detection and handling of potential safety hazards can effectively prevent safety accidents such as glass falling.
The safety performance of exterior glass is an important component of building safety. By selecting materials with good safety performance such as tempered glass and laminated glass, as well as strict installation and maintenance measures, a safe and reliable environment can be provided for building users, safeguarding the peace inside and outside the building.
