Typhoon-proof glass is a type of glass specifically designed for severe weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy rain. It provides protection, sound insulation, and heat insulation. Generally, typhoon-proof glass consists of 2-3 layers of glass made of different materials and with different structures:
1. Tempered Glass: This is made by heating flat glass to near its softening temperature and then rapidly cooling it. This creates compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress internally, resulting in increased strength and the ability to shatter into small particles. Tempered glass is often used as one layer in the construction of typhoon-proof glass to increase the overall strength of the protective layer.
2. Laminated Glass: This is made by injecting a polyethylene film between two layers of flat glass. The main characteristic of laminated glass is that when it shatters, the glass fragments do not scatter but are held together by the film, ensuring that glass shards do not enter the room and protecting people and property.
3. Insulating glass: It is made by filling the space between two or more flat glass panes with air or inert gas. The cavity can effectively block the transfer of heat, thereby maintaining the thermal insulation performance of the building, and also has a good sound insulation effect.
