The glass bridge in China is becoming a new spark for tourist attractions.
The unique exciting transparency and lifelike appearance increase tourists’ interests and maximum taking advantage of glass transparency characters.
The typical glass used is triple low iron heat soaked laminated glass with Kuraray SentryGlass Plus interlayer to ensure glass safety.
The skywalk has also been used in commercial building corridors.
What kind of glass is used for the glass walkway?
The glass material used on the glass walkway is tempered laminated glass, that is, two pieces of tempered glass sandwiched between one or several layers of SGP or PVB (polyvinyl butyral) resin film.
This kind of glass not only has high transparency but also has the properties of rapid cooling and heat resistance.
The key is that it has high strength and toughness, strong anti-collision ability, and can be said to be safe and reliable.
In addition, PVB itself also has a greater toughness.

The Feature of Top quality SGP Laminated Structural Glass Floor
(1) Extremely high safety: The SGP interlayer withstands penetration from impact. Even if the glass cracks, splinters will adhere to the interlayer and not scatter. In comparison with other kinds of glass, laminated glass has a much higher strength to resist shock, burglary, burst, and bullets.
(2) Energy-saving building materials: SGP interlayer impedes the transmission of solar heat and reduces cooling loads.
(3) Create aesthetic sense to buildings: Laminated glass with a tinted interlayer will beautify the buildings and harmonize their appearances with surrounding views which meet the demand of architects.
(4) Sound control: SGP interlayer is an effective absorber of sound.
(5)Ultraviolet screening: The interlayer filters out ultraviolet rays and prevents the furniture and curtains from fading effect.
