Hollow glass enhances the sense of home security through three dimensions: physical protection, performance enhancement, and environmental optimization, from the aspects of intrusion prevention, risk resistance, and safety protection. This is specifically reflected in the following core aspects:
1、 Physical intrusion prevention: resist external damage and build the first line of defense for entering the house
1. High strength impact resistant structure
Hollow glass is composed of two or more layers of glass, a hollow cavity layer, and a sealing structure, which increases the impact resistance by 2-3 times compared to single-layer glass; If paired with tempered glass as the original sheet, it will break into obtuse angled particles, which will not splash and injure people, and can still maintain the overall structure, delaying the time for external forces to invade (such as longer time for thieves to break windows, which may trigger alarms or be detected).
The configuration can choose laminated insulated glass (PVB/SGP film sandwiched between glass), even if the glass is broken, the fragments will be stuck by the film and cannot penetrate, with stronger anti smashing and anti prying performance, suitable for low rise, street facing or high security residential areas.
2. Stable sealing and frame adaptation
The aluminum partition strip and butyl rubber+polysulfide rubber double sealing structure of the insulated glass can tightly fit with window frames such as bridge aluminum and system windows, and is not easily disassembled by violence; Compared to single-layer glass, it is more difficult to encounter the hidden dangers of "glass detachment and loose frame", especially suitable for high-rise residential buildings, to avoid the risk of falling objects from high altitude.
2、 Environmental risk protection: isolate external threats and reduce home safety hazards
1. Sound insulation and noise reduction to avoid safety hazards caused by noise
The hollow layer (filled with dry air or argon gas) can effectively block external noise (with a sound insulation volume of 25-40dB), such as traffic noise, construction noise, neighborhood noise, etc.
Avoid inattention caused by noise interference (such as not being able to hear gas alarms or knocking on doors while cooking);
Reduce emotional distress caused by noise, lower the risk of family conflicts or accidental collisions, especially suitable for families with elderly and children.
2. Thermal insulation to reduce the risk of electrical fires and energy consumption
The thermal insulation performance of insulating glass (with a heat transfer coefficient K value as low as 1.8~3.0W/(㎡· K)) can reduce indoor and outdoor heat transfer:
Summer: Block external heat from entering, reduce air conditioning load, and avoid the risk of circuit overload, short circuit, and fire caused by long-term high load operation of air conditioning;
Winter: Reduce indoor heat loss, prolong the use of heating equipment, and avoid condensation on window glass due to large temperature differences between inside and outside - condensation can cause mold on window frames, moisture on walls, and thus pose a hidden danger of circuit short circuits caused by moisture.
3. UV protection, safeguarding family health and home safety
If the insulated glass is equipped with Low-E (low radiation) coating, it can block 60% to 90% of ultraviolet rays, which not only avoids sunburn and aging of family members' skin caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, but also prevents indoor furniture, floors, and curtains from fading and aging due to ultraviolet radiation, extending the life of home use and reducing the risk of collision caused by furniture aging and deformation.
3、 Special scenario protection: Adapt to different home needs, enhance security adaptability
1. Fall protection for high-rise residential buildings
High rise residential buildings use tempered insulating glass, which will not cause sharp fragments to fall and injure people even if accidentally broken. At the same time, it avoids falling objects (such as window accessories and glass shards) from high places caused by glass breakage, which can injure pedestrians downstairs and reduce the risk of civil disputes.
2. Mold and corrosion prevention in humid environments
The high airtightness of insulated glass can prevent indoor and outdoor water vapor from entering the cavity layer, and there will be no phenomenon of "glass fogging and mold"; At the same time, reduce the dampness of window frames and walls, prevent metal fittings from rusting and wooden furniture from rotting, and reduce the hidden danger of window detachment caused by rusting and loosening of fittings.
3. Privacy protection to reduce the risk of spying
You can choose frosted insulated glass or coated insulated glass to achieve the effect of "clear view from indoors to outdoors, blurry view from outdoors to indoors", avoiding strangers from prying into your home.
4、 Long term stability: reduces maintenance risks, ensures safety and durability
The sealing structure of insulated glass can effectively prevent dust and water vapor from entering the cavity, and long-term use will not cause problems such as glass blurring or fogging, without the need for frequent disassembly and replacement; Compared to single-layer glass, its service life is longer (up to 15-20 years), reducing the risk of high-altitude operations caused by glass aging replacement (such as the risk of falling during high-rise glass replacement).
