Laminated glass is a composite material consisting of a PVB or EVA thin film sandwiched between two or more layers of glass sheets. This glass structure can provide higher strength and better security, as well as other advantages. In this article, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of laminated glass in detail.
The advantages of laminated glass:
1. High safety: the strength of laminated glass is much higher than that of single layer glass, and when the laminated film is subjected to force, it can effectively prevent the glass sheet from breaking and maintain its overall form, thus greatly reducing the possibility of injury.
2, sound insulation effect is good: laminated glass laminated film has good sound insulation effect, can effectively isolate the external noise, to provide people with a more quiet, comfortable environment.
3, strong anti-UV ability: laminated glass sandwich film can effectively filter out harmful UV, protect people's skin and eyes from UV harm.
4, good durability: laminated glass has a long service life, is not easy to deformation, aging and fading, and has good resistance to water, moisture, mold and corrosion.
5. High aesthetics: the appearance of laminated glass is beautiful and the light transmittance is good, which can effectively improve the overall beauty of the building.
The disadvantages of laminated glass:
1, high price: the manufacturing cost of laminated glass is higher, so the price is higher, relative to other types of glass, may increase a certain cost burden.
2. Large weight: due to the existence of sandwich film, laminated glass is much heavier than ordinary glass of the same thickness, so it is necessary to consider its bearing capacity when designing buildings.
3, not easy to repair: laminated glass in the production and manufacturing need to use a special process, so that the glass sheet and sandwich film closely combined, so once damaged, maintenance is more difficult, need to replace the whole glass.
