What is the general thickness of insulated glass

When you are shopping in a mall, you will see a large piece of glass on the mall. This means that hollow glass curtain walls are a beautiful, novel, and elegant method of wall decoration for contemporary commercial buildings. Hollow glass windows are composed of mirror glass and ordinary glass, with a middle layer filled with dry air or inert gas, which has a significant decorative design effect. Is the insulating glass used for building curtain walls thick? How thick is it usually? Shenyang curtain wall manufacturer shares with everyone:

The hollow glass used in ordinary building curtain walls is between 6-10mm, and the thickness of the hollow layer cannot exceed 12mm. Experimental results have shown that when the hollow layer exceeds 12mm, the insulation performance of the hollow layer will decrease. Therefore, the hollow layer is usually hollow. The thickness of glass is around 24-32mm, so it is difficult to have significant differences. At this stage, the thickness of the manufacturing industry is 6 × 12 × 6mm, which means that the glass is 6mm thick and the spacing between the double-layer glass is 12mm. However, the thickness of the building curtain wall is calculated by including the spacing between the aluminum profiles on the back. Usually, the installation spacing of building curtain walls should be controlled at 200-250mm. In addition, the distance from the glass surface to the structural surface is 200-250mm.

If it is a vertical glass curtain wall, the technical standards for curtain wall glass engineering stipulate that the thickness of the glass should not be less than 10mm, and it must be tempered glass, and the edges of the glass must undergo 3C verification. 10mm tempered glass cannot exceed 3m; 12mm tempered laminated glass cannot exceed 4m; 16mm tempered laminated glass cannot exceed 5m.

In fact, the thickness of the insulating glass in Shenyang's glass curtain wall is not too thin, but it is not as thick as many people think. The safety factor of insulated glass windows depends on the material, not the thickness, as excessive weight of the glass will increase the net weight. When the thickness is inversely proportional to the aspect ratio, weight will cause glass to bend and deform. Over time, it is easy to cause self destruction, affecting usage and improving certain unsafe performance.
