  2. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

    Tempered glass. Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to shatter into small granular chunks ...

  3. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

    EURO 68 wooden window profile with insulated glazing. Insulating glass ( IG) consists of two or more glass window panes separated by a space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope. A window with insulating glass is commonly known as double glazing or a double-paned window, triple glazing or a triple-paned window, or ...

  4. Architectural glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_glass

    The glass floats on the tin, and levels out as it spreads along the bath, giving a smooth face to both sides. The glass cools and slowly solidifies as it travels over the molten tin and leaves the tin bath in a continuous ribbon. The glass is then annealed by cooling in an oven called a lehr. The finished product has near-perfect parallel surfaces.

    Curtain wall (architecture) A building project in Wuhan, China, demonstrating the relationship between the inner load-bearing structure and an exterior glass curtain wall. Curtain walls are also used on residential structures. A curtain wall is an exterior covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, instead serving to ...

  7. Safety glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_glass

    Safety glass is glass with additional safety features that make it less likely to break, or less likely to pose a threat when broken. Common designs include toughened glass (also known as tempered glass), laminated glass, and wire mesh glass (also known as wired glass). Toughened glass was invented in 1874 by Francois Barthelemy Alfred Royer de ...

  8. Plate glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_glass

    Plate glass, flat glass or sheet glass is a type of glass, initially produced in plane form, commonly used for windows, glass doors, transparent walls, and windscreens. For modern architectural and automotive applications, the flat glass is sometimes bent after production of the plane sheet. Flat glass stands in contrast to container glass ...

  9. Strength of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_glass

    Glass typically has a tensile strength of 7 megapascals (1,000 psi). [ 1] However, the theoretical upper bound on its strength is orders of magnitude higher: 17 gigapascals (2,500,000 psi). This high value is due to the strong chemical Si–O bonds of silicon dioxide. Imperfections of the glass, such as bubbles, and in particular surface flaws ...
