There are many kinds of glass and these variations come as a result of the different methods used in producing glass. But before we can look into the methods of glass production, we MUST first explore the substances that make up glass. Glass is a mixture of finely ground sand and other minerals such as dolomite, limestone, soda ash and salt cake. All these minerals are mixed together then melted at extremely high temperatures in order to form glass. In some cases, refining agents are added to enhance the physical as well as the chemical properties of the glass.
Simply answered - no you cannot repair a cracked glass pane but will need to replace it. Cracked window/glass cannot be repaired. The only recommended solution is replacing the cracked pane with a new one. For excellent glass replacement, caution is needed to ensure that the new glass fits well in the place of the old one. Glass replacement is often an emergency service that demands an immediate response for security reasons.
At some point most contractors or property owners are faced with the dilemma of choosing between laminated glass and toughened glass. Magic Glass are here to help you solve this dilemma once and for all!
Laminated glass is a special type of safety or security glass that holds together in case of accidents. It is simply made by sandwiching layers of polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) or structural interlayer material in between two or more glass layers. The layers are usually bonded permanently using both mechanical and chemical bonds.
Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass is made through a process which involves controlled high temperatures or chemical treatments in a special tempering oven. This process gives the glass a special feature (balanced internal stress) which strengthens the glass. It is more than 5 times stronger than a normal glass sheet of the same thickness.
Glass has proven to be a solution to the safety and security in our homes and commercial properties for a long time. However, certain areas require increased safety or security. In order to ensure security and safety, quality workmanship and the choice of the glass to use is a major factor to consider.
If you are considering building a new home or you have an interest to renovate your office premises, then you should consider installing glass doors. Glass doors are not simply entryways; they are security measures to your facility, add personal style to entry paths and are an efficient way to maximize your home’s energy flow. They also come in many forms; framed, frameless, sliding or hinged.
Windows plays a crucial role in our homes. A glass window properly installed, gives an impressive look to the home’s appearance but at the same time poses risks to young children. Child safety comes first and to observe this several safety measures must be considered to eliminate window related injuries in houses.
