The history of tempered glass

Ordinary glass appeared in ancient Egypt, and who was the inventor of this popular and useful material is no longer known, as well as unknown who invented the wheel. But if we consider the history of how tempered glass appeared, then there is a clear pattern of how the most ordinary materials evolve under the influence of the needs of civilization. As a result of the research, SSG engineers in 1929 developed a special technology in which glass warmed up above the softening temperature and then rapidly cooled by jets of cold air. As a result of this procedure, the outer surface of the glass was cooled much faster than the inner surface and this gave rise to the residual compressive stress in the inner layers of the glass. Due to this residual stress, glass acquires a higher resistance to mechanical damage, and in the case of damage, again due to the fact that there is excess stress in the glass, it breaks into many small fragments that do not have sharp edges that are formed when ord...

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...

Variants of glass partitions

Glass partitions are a real salvation for small and non-spacious houses, but often the question arises how to arrange such partitions. Fortunately, the design world does not stand still, and thanks to modern glass making technologies, you can have the following options for glass partitions: glass partition First variant Clear glass is appropriate in all rooms and styles, but not everyone likes accessibility for an overview of what is desirable to hide. So completely transparent partitions are used most often in those premises that do not require exceptional confidentiality. Transparent glass partition sets the boundaries of the home workplace. Second variant Frosted glass is usually divided into calm and discreet rooms. This type of partitions is considered the most versatile and suitable for any style: from high-tech to country. Partition of frosted glass in a studio apartment. Third variant Colored glass partitions are an original way of zoning a room. Of course, bright ...

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...
