We choose glass
Glass for double-glazed windows, like, for example, foam glass, has certain technical and mechanical characteristics. Nevertheless, its main distinguishing characteristic is its transparency. The manufacturer usually provides the buyer with the thermal and light characteristics of the material. The main parameters to which the buyer draws attention are the following:
- transparency;
- security;
- color.
So, the transparent glass ensures the penetration of light into the room, and with it the sun's rays. Therefore, in the summer with them in the room will be hot. The next characteristic is the safety of the material. This means that in case of destruction, no harm will be done to the person. Currently, there are several ways to ensure security.
For example, it can be hardened or, in case of fracture, crumbles into small pieces without sharp edges. Such a material is called hardened, and it is 5 times stronger than ordinary glass. To safe kinds also carry triplex - several sheets, glued together a special film. It is almost impossible to break it, the fragments do not crumble, but remain glued to the film.
Colored glass is designed to prevent the entry of solar heat into the room, while it remains transparent.
Note! When buying colored products, it is necessary to take into account the climatic conditions in which they will be used.
After all, they can be destroyed by thermal overloads, so in a hot climate it is necessary to use hardened or products with a processed edge, which increases the heat resistance.
