How to differentiate between different glass scenarios and applications?

In modern buildings, glass is not only an important part of doors and windows, but also a key factor affecting indoor comfort, safety and energy efficiency. Different windows and doors of the use of different scenarios on the performance requirements of the glass, how to scientifically select the type of glass? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of residential casement windows, kitchens, bathrooms (showers), high-rise buildings and commercial premises of the glass selection program, to help you create a more livable and safer building environment.

First, according to the use of scenarios to choose the glass 
1. Living room / bedroom: quiet and energy saving 
Recommended glass: insulating glass, Low-E low-e coated glass 

Advantages: 

sound insulation and noise reduction (especially suitable for street houses) 

thermal insulation, air conditioning in the summer, more energy-saving 

ultraviolet rays, to protect the furniture from fading

2. Kitchen/bathroom: safety and moisture-proof are key 
Recommended glass: tempered glass, laminated glass 

Advantages: 

High temperature resistance, anti-burst (the strength of tempered glass is 5 times stronger than ordinary glass) 

Moisture-proof and water-proof, avoiding blurring of the glass caused by long-term humidity 

Even if broken, it won't splash (the adhesive film of laminated glass can stick to the fragments)

3. High-rise buildings: wind pressure resistance + fall prevention 
Recommended glass: tempered laminated insulating glass 

Advantages: 

Strong wind pressure resistance, suitable for high-rise buildings of more than 20 floors 

Double protection: laminated anti-explosion + hollow sound and heat insulation

4. Shopping malls/offices: both high-end and practical 
Recommended glass: laminated insulating glass, Low-E glass 

Advantages: 

Fire-retardant (essential for the safety of commercial establishments) 

Reduces the noise by more than 50% and improves the comfort of the office 

Energy-saving and reduces energy consumption, reduces the cost of the central air-conditioner

YOOAN Professional Tips: 
When choosing windows and doors, be sure to match the actual needs! For example, the street bedroom can be used “laminated insulating glass”, both sound insulation and explosion-proof; more rain in the humid areas recommended “waterproof sealant + toughened glass”, to avoid rainwater infiltration.
