TYPES OF GLASS


Glass is a noble material par excellence increasingly present in the use of civil construction. Its presence is noteworthy both in simpler buildings and in large-scale developments, being synonymous with light and communication of which man has need, since it allows protection and thermo-acoustic isolation of the most varied environments.
It has been a symbol of architectural modernity since the 19th century. Glass is also a "technologically advanced" material, functional and refined, and it is possible to take advantage of its transparency qualities in a full or discreet way. It is a versatile and very modern material, benefiting in the last decades in a marked way for the improvement of the comfort of the home, its diversity and its functions, its growing aspect of interior applications, today give the designer a greater freedom to put into practice a true architecture of light, which fully meets all the demands of modern comfort.
There are several types of glass, being known for common glass, tempered glass, laminated glass (this is also tempered laminate and smart laminated), screen-printed glass.
  
Common Glass
Ordinary glass is the least resistant of all the options in the market, quite common in small windows (vitrôs) and its main benefit is the cost, being it the cheaper one. Its characteristic is to be very resistant to impacts, as they shatter more easily.
  
Tempered glass
Tempered glass is glass that has undergone heat treatment (tempering) or chemical to modify its characteristics as hardness and mechanical resistance. It is stiffer, having a higher thermal resistance and shattering into small fragments when it is damaged. It is usually made from ordinary glass (not tempered), from a thermal process.
  
Laminated glass
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together the shrapnel when broken. It is composed of two or more glass sheets, which are joined by one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or resin. When broken, the shrapnel gets stuck in this middle layer. This feature produces a "cobweb" effect when the impact is not entirely sufficient to pierce the glass. Polyvinyl Butyral is a plastic and elastic film applied between glass sheets. It has better sound insulation due to the damping effect between glass sheets, and also blocks 99% of the transmitted UV rays.


 
Tempered Laminated Glass
Tempered laminatedglass has gained great importance in construction, derived from the requirements of modern architecture.

It is made from the lamination of two or more sheets of tempered glass, which allows to combine the qualities of these two types of safety glass, achieving a high level of resistance. Its main advantages are the excellent acoustic comfort that provides the environment and safety, being an extremely resistant material, in case of breakage, it forms small parts rounded and little sharp, that are attached to a film, reducing considerably reduce the risk of accidents and keep users of your property safe.
   

Laminated Glass
The intelligent laminatedglass also known as opaque glass whose main characteristic is the possibility of being transparent when connecting the electric current, ie when it is turned off the glass becomes opaque for a greater and better privacy, and can also be used as a projection screen for the most varied multimedia presentations, which makes these days quite efficient and utilitarian.
This type of glass has a film containing polymer and liquid crystals and is incorporated between two butyral polyvinyls (PVB).
When the electric current is or is turned off, the liquid crystals are randomly oriented and the incident light scatters, causing the opaque effect.

Screen Printing
Screen-printedglass, also known as hot-painted glass, is a material that receives drawings or colors by means of printing screens with a special paint, whose contents are fixed in the glass at very high temperatures - basically generating a process of painting and tempering .


TYPES OF MIRRORS
   
The Mirror is always a good subject when we deal with interior design, reflecting a light ray in a defined direction, there are different types of decorative mirrors. They can be rectangular, round, polished or in their most varied forms, since any mirror provides a sense of amplitude and gives a sophisticated air to any environment.
Its features are a good bet to fill a wall, reflect a beautiful decoration and provide greater luminosity to the desired location. In addition to the versatility in its functions, the mirror still has a huge variety of models. The mirror is always trend, and can be installed in various spaces, can be used in bathrooms, bedrooms, living room, offices.


Rectangular Round Mirror
Two of the most common models, the rectangular and roundmirror , are able to ensure good ideas when it comes to decoration. They help extend the environment of smaller spaces such as the WC and dressing room (closet).
     
 

Covered Mirror
A mirror cut means the work that is done on the mirror edge to the material itself, giving an angular position the mirror itself that creates a more sophisticated finish effect, ie, it is a mirror without frame, but has a edge made of it, going through a process to cut its edges with smooth and straight finish in order to minimize the cutting risks. It is very resistant and has great durability.

Colorful Mirror
The coloredmirror is generally used to maximize spaces, and can be completely decorative. They can have several colors taking as examples the silver, the green, the bronze and the gray, guaranteeing the elegance and the transformation of any environment.
They are distinguished by durability, strength and reliability. They are predominant colors in the interior decoration constructions, and depending on the creativity of each person, or even the constructor himself.
