Measures to prevent the glass curtain wall facade from glass falling off in applications

Analysis Of The Possible Causes Of Glass Bursting & Falling Off
Improper glass selection and glass installation are generally considered the two main reasons for the glass bursting & falling off in applications. First of all, glass is fragile. There are many micro-cracks on the surface of the glass material, which tends to causes the strength of the glass curtain wall to be much lower than its theoretical strength. It is easy to cause the glass to burst over time. Secondly, the glass exposes the sharp edge at the broken edge. Especially glass sharp corners are very easy to make people hurt. Thirdly, glass curtain walls are generally installed in more exposed parts, which is very easy to breakage over time. In addition, the explosion of glass would be considered another serious problem for glass curtain wall system. Specifically speaking, thermal cracking of glass, especially heat-absorbing glass and heat-reflecting glass can form an uneven temperature field on the surface of the glass panels when exposed to sunlight, which thereby can form certain thermal stress in the glass. In that regard, when the thermal stress exceeds the allowable range of the strength of the glass, it tends to be bursting. Furthermore, the glass is easy to damage or crack due to adverse weather factors such as earthquakes, ice and snow.

Measures To Prevent The Glass Curtain Wall From Glass Falling Off
* Use laminated glass. Laminated glass and tempered glass are called safety glass. Because of the existence of a plastic organic intermediate layer material, the laminated glass can be fixed to the curtain wall frames even if it would be broken but does not fall off in applications.
*Use towel glass. The towel glass is a layer of organic transparent film adhered to the surface of the glass, which also maintains a whole when broken.
*Try not to use the full hidden frame glass curtain wall, or use the semi-hidden curtain wall for your building facade. In the selection of structural glue and construction, hidden frame curtain wall should pay special attention to the structural sealant quality, the compatibility with the glass, as well as the treatment of the surface of the frame glass.
