What is ultra-clear glass? What is the difference between ultra clear glass and normal Float glass?
The low iron glass was paid your stupid tax?
Today, let’s learn about the “low iron glass” in home interior decoration glass, window doors glass, and exterior curtain walls.
01. What is ultra-clear glass?
Ultra-clear glass is a kind of ultra-transparent low-iron glass and high-transparent glass.
It is a high-quality, multi-functional new type of high-end glass with a light transmittance of over 91.5%.
It is crystal clear, high-end, and elegant, and is known as the “Crystal Prince” of the glass family.
02. The difference between ultra clear glass and normal float glass.
▶▷ Visual effects
Normal float glass contains certain iron compounds and solid inclusions such as bubbles and sand, so its permeability is not that high and the glass will appear faintly green;
The iron content in ultra-white glass is 10% or even lower than that of ordinary glass.
The visual effect is almost transparent and has appearance characteristics similar to colorless crystals.
If you have high requirements for lighting and appearance and want to avoid interference from “green light”, it is recommended to use “ultra-white glass original film”.
▶▷ Optical performance
High light transmittance:
Generally, the light transmittance of normal clear float glass is about 85%, and the light transmittance of ultra-white glass is above 91.5%.
Anti-ultraviolet:
Compared with clear glass, low iron glass has lower absorption of ultraviolet bands, which can effectively reduce the passage of ultraviolet rays and reduce the harm of ultraviolet rays while maintaining high light transmittance.
Low reflectivity:
High light transmittance also reduces light refraction and reflection. While reducing light pollution, objects viewed through ultra-white glass will not produce chromatic aberration or deformation, which increases authenticity.
▶▷ Physical properties
Ultra-clear glass contains fewer impurities, has a more uniform composition than ordinary glass, and is more stable in physical properties than ordinary glass.
The self-explosion rate of ultra-white glass after tempering is about 0.01% (one in ten thousand), which is much lower than the 0.3% (three thousandths) of ordinary tempered glass, which greatly improves safety.
Ultra clear glass has super stability and a low self-explosion rate, which is very suitable for glass doors and windows on high floors, or when there is a large glass in the home, to prevent safety hazards caused by the self-explosion of the glass (in case the glass self-explodes, the replacement cost will be very high).
03. Application of ultra clear glass in construction.
-Roof-
In contemporary public buildings such as museums, airports, and stations, ultra-white glass is generally used as the main material for lighting roofs.
– Curtain wall –
The curtain wall system is an important part of contemporary architecture. Ultra-white glass gives people a pure and concise visual intention, reduces people’s visual sense of layering, and weakens the closed and heavy feeling of the building.
– View Window –
The ultra-white glass viewing window will basically have no color difference or deformation when looking at the outdoor landscape from indoors, giving people an uncompromised experience of the outdoor landscape!
– Shower Room –
The most high-level shower enjoying, After tempering, ultra-white glass has a low self-explosion rate and is safer!
