1.What is tempered glass?
Tempered glass is a type of prestressed glass. In order to increase the strength of the glass, high-temperature quenching is usually used to form compressive stress on the surface of the glass. When the glass is subjected to external force, the surface stress is first offset, thereby improving the bearing capacity and enhancing the wind resistance of the glass itself. Sex, cold and hot, shock and so on.
2.Advantages of tempered glass :
Tempering is a safety glass. The resistance to quenching and rapid heat of tempered glass is 3 to 5 times higher than that of ordinary glass. Generally, it can withstand temperature changes of more than 250 degrees, and has obvious effects on preventing thermal cracking. It is one of the safety glasses. Not only the strength is high, the high temperature resistance is much higher than ordinary glass, and it breaks into small particles after breaking, which will not cause fatal damage to the human body. The shower rooms on the market are all tempered glass.
3.Disadvantages of single-layer tempered glass for shower rooms:
However, there are 3‰ self-explosion chances in the tempered glass. Although the probability is small, once it happens, it is 100%. After the fragmentation, the small particles will burst and disperse, especially in the bathing space application, and it will cause great damage to the surface of the human skin or the eyes. The security requirements are much higher than other spaces.
The double-layer tempered composite sandwich technology can achieve absolute safety and double safety for the family. Even if the glass is broken, it will ensure the integrity of the product, which not only does not hurt people, but also does not affect normal use.
If tempered glass is used in shower rooms:
Broken tempered glass
- The inevitable probability of self-explosion, and once the burst is impactful, the particles will be blasted around, and there is still a great safety hazard in the small shower space. Even if the probability of one in ten thousand is 100% if it happens, especially if there are children in the family, it is impossible to take risks.
- Even if the glass does not blew, the uniformity of the contact between the hardware parts and the glass contact point during the installation process determines whether the shower room will burst during use. This is an unpredictable unknown situation.
- The operation of artificial equipment in each glass process determines whether the tempered glass particle size can meet the standard. The standard particle size of tempered glass is more than 40 particles in the range of 5cm*5cm. However, it can only be checked. It is impossible to check each piece. It is not possible to detect whether the particle size meets the standard without breaking the glass. Therefore, no one knows whether the glass you are using before the glass breaks. Can meet the requirements of granularity. Some manufacturers eliminate concerns by insuring glass, but no one wants to happen accidentally. Insurance can only prove that there are real safety hazards. Products without safety hazards do not need to be reassured by consumers through insurance.
