What glass materials are commonly used in high-rise residential buildings？

Heat-absorbing glass

Heat absorbing glass is a flat glass made by introducing heat absorbing coloring agents (such as iron oxide, nickel oxide, etc.) into the glass liquid or spraying a thin film of heat absorbing coloring oxides (such as tin oxide, antimony oxide, etc.) on the surface of the glass.

Heat absorbing glass generally appears in colors such as gray, tea, blue, green, antique bronze, pink, gold, etc.

It can absorb less than 70% of infrared radiation energy while maintaining good light transmittance and the ability to absorb some visible and ultraviolet light. It has anti glare, anti ultraviolet and other effects.

Heat absorbing glass is suitable for places that require both lighting and insulation, especially in hot areas where air conditioning is needed to avoid glare in large public buildings such as doors, windows, curtain walls, display windows, computer rooms, and windshields for trains, cars, and ships. It can also be made into laminated or insulated glass products.

Heat reflective glass

Heat reflective glass is a coated glass made by spraying gold, silver, aluminum, copper, nickel, chromium iron and other metals and metal oxides on the surface using methods such as heat, evaporation, and chemistry, or by pasting thin films of agricultural production systems.

Heat reflective glass has high heat reflection ability for sunlight, low thermal transmittance, and generally has a heat reflection rate of over 30%, up to about 60%, while maintaining good transparency, making it a more effective modern sun proof glass. Heat reflective glass has unidirectional transparency, and its facing surface has mirror reflection characteristics.

It not only has beautiful colors, but also can reflect the surrounding scenery, making the building and surrounding landscape coordinated. Its glass backlight surface, like transparent glass, can clearly see outdoor scenery. Heat reflective glass is suitable for doors and windows, glass curtain walls, public building lobbies, and various decorative parts in modern high-end buildings.

Using it to make double-layer insulating glass and form glass curtain walls with air layers can achieve better thermal insulation and energy-saving effects.
