Compared with single-layer glass, double-layer glass is more popular!
I believe everyone will have an understanding of the glass structure when decorating balcony windows, such as single-layer glass and double-layer glass is the most common choice. Of course, compared with single-layer glass, double-layer glass is more popular! As for why? Let's learn more about it with me. Next, Xiaobian will talk about the difference between single-layer glass and double-layer glass.
Single layer glass, as the name suggests, is only single-layer structure. The whole body adopts only one material, with moderate thickness and relatively general firmness. Thermal insulation is far less effective than double glass. If the single-layer glass is not pasted with glass film, once it is broken, the whole glass will be broken, and there are certain potential safety hazards. However, single-layer glass is still good in terms of cost performance and affordable price. For ordinary families, it is still the first choice for installation.
Double layer glass is also called hollow glass. This kind of glass is composed of two layers of flat glass. The gap is usually filled with some high-density glue and then pasted with sealing strips. Some double glass will be filled with inert gas in the middle. Because of this structure, double-layer glass has good heat insulation, sound insulation and heat preservation. But the price of double-layer glass is not cheap. We should consider the decoration budget before choosing.
What are the advantages of double glazing
1. Superior insulation
Double layer glass is generally matched with aluminum-plastic composite materials. The combined thermal conductivity of the two is polar, and the thermal insulation effect is 1200 times higher than that of ordinary aluminum. Coupled with good air tightness, it can achieve the living effect of both outdoor and indoor worlds.
2. Good sound insulation
The joints of double-layer glass are very tight. After being tested by authoritative institutions, the sound insulation effect reaches 30dB. In noisy metropolis, it can give you a quiet sleep.
3. Strong impact resistance
The impact resistance of double-layer glass window is strong, and the surface material is aluminum alloy, which makes it stronger than ordinary plastic steel window.
4. Good anti-theft performance
Double glazed windows are basically equipped with good hardware and high-grade locks. Thieves have to work hard if they want to break in and steal.
The above is all about the difference between single-layer glass and double-layer glass and the advantages of double-layer glass windows. If your home has a sufficient decoration budget, double glass can be a good choice for you.
