In every family, the glass shower room is a very popular decoration element. It is not only beautiful but also fashionable to be placed in the bathroom. People like it very much. Then what is the appropriate glass thickness for the shower room? The thicker the better?
First of all, we should ensure that the thick glass in the shower room is stronger, but if the glass in the shower room is too thick, it will be counterproductive, because it is difficult to fully toughen the glass with a thickness of more than 8mm. In some small brand shower room factories, once the glass in the shower room is broken, it will lead to sharp surfaces, which is easy to cause the risk of scratching the human body.
On the other hand, the thicker the glass, the worse its thermal conductivity, so the greater the possibility of glass burst. Because one of the main reasons for glass self explosion is the uneven heat dissipation in various places, from this point of view, the explosion-proof glass should be of appropriate thickness.
Moreover, the thicker the glass, the heavier the weight. If the pressure on the hinge is too large, the service life of profiles and pulleys will be shortened. In particular, most medium and low-grade shower rooms use pulleys with poor quality, so the thicker the glass, the more dangerous it is! The quality of tempered glass mainly depends on the degree of tempering, whether it is produced by a formal large factory, light transmittance, impact resistance, heat resistance and so on.
Shower room products on the market are semi arc and linear. The thickness of glass is also related to the shape of shower room. For example, arc type has modeling requirements for glass, generally 6mm is appropriate, too thick is not suitable for modeling, and the stability is less than 6mm. Similarly, if you choose a straight-line shower screen, you can choose 8mm or 10mm. However, it should be reminded that with the increase of glass thickness, the overall weight increases accordingly, which has higher requirements for the quality of relevant hardware. However, if you buy 8 ~ 10mm thick glass, the pulley is required to be of better quality.
Many people are most worried about glass cracking. However, the self explosion rate of glass is related to the purity of glass, not much to the thickness of glass. The glass thickness of shower room is 6mm, 8mm and 10mm. These three thicknesses are most suitable for shower room, and 8mm is used most. If the above three thicknesses are exceeded, the glass cannot be fully tempered, and there will be potential safety hazards in use.
Internationally, tempered glass is allowed to have a self explosion rate of three thousandths. In other words, in the process of bathing consumers, tempered glass may explode under certain tensile pressure, which brings hidden dangers to the safety of consumers. Since we can’t 100% avoid the self explosion of tempered glass, we should start with the situation after the explosion and stick the glass explosion-proof film on the tempered glass in the shower room, so that the debris generated after the glass explosion can be bonded to the original position and can be safely removed without scattering on the ground, causing harm to consumers. It is this principle that makes the glass explosion-proof membrane gradually become a new favorite in the market. The glass explosion-proof film can effectively prevent the harm caused by the self explosion of the partition glass in the bathroom and shower room, and stick the self explosion glass fragments together without splashing and causing secondary injury to the human body; The explosion-proof membrane can buffer the impact strength and avoid greater damage. Even after accidental impact, there are no acute angle fragments.
In addition, the explosion-proof film of shower room shall be pasted on the outside. One is to effectively bond the broken glass together, and the other is to facilitate the home maintenance of the shower glass. In addition, it should be noted that all glass can be pasted with explosion-proof film. When pasting the explosion-proof film, we must take into account the actual situation, ask the clerk or the manufacturer for an accurate reply, and do not paste it rashly. For example, nano glass cannot be pasted with explosion-proof film.
