Heat Strengthened Glass
Heat Strengthened Glass
High performance glazing materials including tinted glass, reflective glass, and Low-E glass are subject to thermal stress, which must be resisted by heat-strengthened glass. Additionally, it offers the necessary protection against heat buildup when utilizing spandrel glass. Because it has a flatter finish surface, heat-strengthened laminated glass allows the interlayer to attach to laminated glass more evenly than tempered laminated glass does.
The facade has reduced visual distortions thanks to heat-strengthened glass’s flatter surface. Heat-strengthened glass retains the typical characteristics of annealed glass, such as chemical resistance, hardness, expansion, and deflection, with the exception of strength and breaking characteristics.
Advantages
1
Heat-strengthened glass differs from tempered glass in surface compression; its mechanical strength is about 1.6-2 times that of annealed glass
2
Heat-strengthened glass has outstanding thermal stability, its flatness and light transmission is close to that of annealed glass and much better than that of tempered glass
3
HS Glass is 3 times more resistant to thermal stress in comparison to normal annealed glass.
4
It can withstand temperature difference of 100°C (in range of 50°C to 150°C) compared to ordinary annealed glass which can withstand up to 40°C.
5
Heat strengthened glass is that it is far less susceptible to spontaneous breakage.
