Tempered Glass Facade
Tempered glass facades are considered modern architectural solutions used in designing glass facades for buildings. This type of glass is characterized by properties that make it preferable in many applications, especially in commercial and residential buildings, malls, and storefronts such as restaurants and cafes.
The Advantages of Tempered Glass Facades
-
Enhanced safety and security – Securit glass shatters into small, blunt pieces upon breakage, reducing the risk of injury.
-
Strength and durability – Securit glass is more resistant to impacts and pressure compared to regular glass.
-
Thermal and sound insulation – Securit glass provides good insulation against heat and noise, improving energy efficiency and reducing noise levels.
-
Elegant and modern appearance – Securit glass can be shaped and designed in various forms to suit different architectural styles, giving buildings a sleek, contemporary look.
-
Weather resistance – Securit glass is highly resistant to harsh environmental conditions like wind and rain, making it suitable for exterior use.
The Types of Tempered Glass Facade
-
Structural Glazing Facades: These are used in modern buildings to fix the glass panels on the exterior facade without the need for visible metal frames. Instead, the glass is fixed using adhesives or hidden metal supports, with the metal frame only visible from the interior.
-
Curtain Wall Facades: These consist of glass panels fixed on metal frames, often made of aluminum or steel. This system combines aesthetics and functionality and is widely used in commercial buildings and hotels.
-
Regular Securit Glass Facades: This is the most common type of tempered glass facade, characterized by its standard thickness and high impact resistance.
-
Colored tempered Glass Facades: These are made up of a variety of colors, tailored to the client’s requirements and overall aesthetic.
-
Reflective Securit Glass Facades: These help reflect sunlight, reducing the heat inside the building and providing energy savings.
-
Fire-Resistant tempered Glass Facades: These are used in areas that require high safety standards against fires.
