Common Knowledge on Choosing The Combination of Doors, Windows, and Glass

In today's society, people are not only satisfied with simple decoration, but also pay more attention to the combination of architectural style and home furnishings, so as to make their houses unique. Flooring, paint, sofas, and so on have become one of the modern decoration requirements. As the "eyes" of architecture, the combination of doors, windows, and glass is increasingly valued. Today we will learn about the daily matching knowledge of doors and windows.

1. Tips for Matching Energy-Saving Glass

Due to the much lower thermal conductivity of the sealed intermediate air layer compared to glass, the insulation performance of insulated glass can be doubled compared to single glass, which can significantly reduce the power consumption of buildings equipped with air conditioning. In summer, it can insulate more than 70% of the heat, while in winter, it keeps indoor heating from easily losing heat, reducing heat loss by up to 40%, playing a role in insulation, thus turning cool summers and warm winters into reality.

2. Regional Glass Matching Techniques

Determine the type of glass based on the geographical location of the building: Glass in cold regions and cold regions should focus on controlling heat conduction, and try to choose insulated glass or Low-E low radiation insulated glass; In areas with hot summers and cold winters, as well as warm summers and warm winters, efforts should be made to control the entry of solar energy into indoor spaces to reduce air conditioning loads. Heat reflective glass, heat absorbing glass, insulated glass composed of heat reflective glass or heat absorbing glass, and sunshade type Low-E insulated glass should be selected.

3. Security Precautions and Matching Skills

Tempered glass is particularly safe: If tempered glass is used for both indoor and outdoor windows, it greatly improves the impact resistance and safety of the glass both indoors and outdoors. Because the impact resistance of tempered glass is 5-10 times that of ordinary glass, and its bending resistance is 3-5 times that of ordinary glass, it can be said to be safe to home.

4. Heat Absorbing Sunscreen Glass Combination

The doors and windows of rooms exposed to sunlight in the morning or west should use heat absorbing coated glass: for rooms exposed to sunlight in the morning or west, heat absorbing coated glass can be used on the outside of the room, and ordinary white glass can be used on the inside. Due to the absorption of infrared light by heat absorbing glass, it can attenuate 20% -30% of solar energy incidence, thereby reducing the amount of heat entering the room. In summer, it can lower the load on air conditioning; In winter, due to the absorption of infrared light, the body's temperature rises, which can resist external cold and achieve energy-saving effects.

Because heat absorbing glass is colored glass, it not only saves energy, but also has a significant decorative effect. As the saying goes, "what suits oneself is good." Therefore, when choosing glass, we should choose different types of glass according to our preferences, so as to comprehensively showcase the beauty, atmosphere, and unique style of the building.
