In every family, the glass shower room is a very popular decoration element. It is not only beautiful but also fashionable when placed in the bathroom. People like it very much, so what is the appropriate thickness of the glass in the shower room? The thicker the better?
First of all, we should ensure that the thick glass of the shower room is stronger, but if the glass of the shower room is too thick, it will be counterproductive, because the glass with a thickness of more than 8mm is difficult to achieve complete tempering, in some small brand shower room factories, once the shower room is in the shower room If the glass is broken, it will lead to a sharp surface, which will easily cause the danger of scratching the human body.
On the other hand, since the thicker the glass, the poorer its thermal conductivity, the greater the possibility of glass bursting. Because one of the main reasons for the self-explosion of glass is caused by uneven heat dissipation in various places, so from this point of view, the explosion-proof glass should be appropriately thick and thin.
Furthermore, the thicker the glass, the heavier the weight, the greater the pressure on the hinge, and the shorter the service life of the profiles and pulleys, especially in the middle and low-grade shower rooms, which mostly use poor quality pulleys, 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 regular factory, light transmittance, impact resistance, heat resistance and so on.
Shower room products on the market are semi-curved or straight, and the thickness of the glass is also related to the shape of the shower enclosure. For example, the arc type has modeling requirements for the glass, generally 6mm is appropriate, too thick is not suitable for modeling, and the stability is not as good as 6mm. Similarly, if you choose a straight-line shower screen, you can choose 8mm or 10mm, but it should be reminded that as the thickness of the glass increases, the overall weight will also increase accordingly, which will affect the quality of the related hardware. high demands. However, if you buy 8-10mm thick glass, the required pulleys should be of better quality.
The biggest worry for many people is that the glass bursts. However, the self-explosion rate of glass is related to the purity of the glass, not to the thickness of the glass. The thickness of the glass in the shower room is 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. These three thicknesses are most suitable for the shower room, and the most used is 8mm. If it exceeds the above three thicknesses, the glass cannot be completely tempered, and there will be potential safety hazards in use.
On an international scale, tempered glass is allowed to have a self-explosion rate of 3 in 1,000. That is to say, in the process of consumers taking a bath, the tempered glass may still explode under a certain tension pressure, which brings hidden dangers to the safety of consumers. Since we cannot 100% avoid the self-explosion of tempered glass, we must start from the situation after the explosion, and stick the glass explosion-proof film on the tempered glass of the shower room, so that the debris generated after the glass explodes is bonded to the original. In place, it can also be safely removed without being scattered on the ground and causing harm to consumers. It is this principle that makes the glass explosion-proof film gradually become the new favorite in the market. The glass explosion-proof film can effectively prevent the damage caused by the self-explosion of the partition glass in the shower room of the bathroom. , even after an accidental impact, no sharp-angled debris.
In addition, the explosion-proof film sticker in the shower enclosure is chosen to stick on the outside. One is to effectively bond the broken glass together, and the other is to facilitate the home maintenance of the shower room glass. In addition, it should be noted that whether all glass can be pasted with explosion-proof film, the actual situation must be considered when pasting the explosion-proof film, and the construction can only be carried out after asking the clerk or the manufacturer to get the exact answer. Do not paste it rashly, such as nano glass Just can’t paste explosion-proof film.
