LAMINATED GLASS FLOORS


Laminated glass flooring is produced by bonding two or more layers of heat treated pressured glass together with a plastic resin interlayer, which is known as Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB). Multiple PVB glass sheets are more popularly used by the automobile industry and the airline industry for designing windshields.

The PVB interlayer makes glass floors impervious to water damage, it offers sound reduction and blocks 99% of UV rays. PVB interlayers can be customized into different colored sheets to be used by glass manufactures for architects and construction engineers.

The best way to lay a laminated glass floor is by using block pavers with an aluminum grid. This newer method encases the sides and bottom edges of each glass paver block with a silicone sealant rather than the original method of using grout. The aluminum grid provides durability and reinforcement for foot traffic, as well as offering a unique element to an interior design. Glass flooring is available in several different options including crystal clear which is transparent, frost, revo, small rocks and sand. These options provide different levels of translucency and privacy, yet natural lighting can still filter in.

Glass floor technology is safe, secure, quake proof, can handle all day foot traffic and shatterproof. Iconic structures like The Eiffel Tower are being renovated to place glass floors in its first floor level to give tourists an amazing view of the street level below. Government buildings, educational institutions and health care facilities all enjoy the environmentally friendly material, its aesthetics and its sanitary ability to repel dust, mold, bacteria and requires less cleaning than other floor materials. Glass Fence New York installs all types and styles of glass flooring.

Glass tempering technology

Glass tempering technology To make ordinary glass more resistant to shock loads, temperature changes, and also safer in the event of destruction, special high-temperature treatment is applied to it, followed by cooling - quenching. As a result of quenching, constant stresses remain in the glass material, due to which glass loses its uniformity and acquires new properties. The specific properties of tempered glass Hardened glass can not be drilled or cut - it will lead to its destruction due to the presence of internal stresses. Due to the use of glass hardening technology, it becomes 5-10 times stronger to shock loads and much more resistant to destruction due to temperature differences than ordinary glass. If tempered glass is broken, it does not carry a danger of injury to a person, since its fragments are small, with blunt edges, which cannot be cut. If you break the usual glass, formed large fragments with sharp edges, very traumatic. Glass tempering technology Use ...

Reasons to choose glass partitions

glass partitions Glass partitions as an element of zoning offices, shops, business centers have become firmly established in our life. But to use glass partitions in the apartment are solved only a few. Many doubt the practicality and safety of such design. Let's understand the pros and cons of using glass partitions in residential apartments. Benefits: • Glass does not interfere with the flow of light; it will become much lighter in the apartment. Light will give beauty to your design; glass partitions • In the manufacture of glass partitions, the material undergoes heat treatment. Tempered glass is several times stronger than normal and cut sharpness, minimizing the risk of injury. You do not have to worry about the safety and bruise of this material; • In small apartments, glass can replace the partition between the kitchen and the living room, visually expanding the space and isolating unpleasant odors. The space immediately increases visually and a feeling of...

Scopes of tempered glass

Due to the properties of the material, tempered glass sheets are characterized by increased resistance to attempts to damage them. If you try to break the glass, the last hardening, you can find that it breaks into fragments with blunt edges, which can not injure the skin. This is the safety of the material. tempered glass  The hardening process is carried out on special equipment by means of strong heating of the glass, which, when it reaches a certain temperature, is subjected to instant cooling, which gives the desired effect. Moving from a moving mass to a solid, the glass structure is accompanied by a change in its physical parameters, since the bonds of the molecular level in it become stronger. With the help of this technology, the formation of compression stress points in the glass structure is realized, due to which glass becomes mechanically more durable and capable of withstanding significant temperatures without damage, as well as sudden temperature fluctuations...
