Urumqi glass curtain wall

The Urumqi glass curtain wall of modern high-rise buildings uses insulating glass that is a combination of mirror glass and ordinary glass, with dry air or inert gas filling the interlayers. There are two layers of insulating glass and three layers of insulating glass. Two-layer insulating glass is composed of two layers of glass and a sealed frame to form a mezzanine space; triple-layer glass is composed of three layers of glass to form two mezzanine spaces. Insulated glass has the advantages of sound insulation, heat insulation, anti-frost, moisture-proof, and high wind pressure resistance. According to measurements, when the outdoor temperature is -10°C, the temperature in front of the single-layer glass window is -2°C, while the indoor temperature using triple-layer insulating glass is 13°C. In hot summer, double-layer insulating glass can block 90% of solar radiation heat. Sunlight can still pass through the glass curtain wall, but most people won't feel hot when exposed to the sun. Rooms using hollow Urumqi glass curtain walls can be warm in winter and cool in summer, which greatly improves the living environment.

Advantages

Xinjiang glass curtain wall is a new type of contemporary wall. The biggest feature it gives to the building is to organically unify factors such as architectural aesthetics, architectural function, building energy saving and building structure. The building presents different tones from different angles, giving people a dynamic beauty with the changes of sunlight, moonlight and light. The magnificent Urumqi glass curtain wall buildings are built in major cities on all continents in the world, such as the World Trade Center in New York, the Chicago Petroleum Building, and the Sears Tower all use glass curtain walls. The Bank of China Building in Hong Kong, the Great Wall Hotel in Beijing and the Lianyi Building in Shanghai have also adopted it.

Reflective insulating glass is 6 mm thick and the wall itself weighs about 50kg/㎡. It has the advantages of being light and beautiful, not easy to pollute, and saving energy. The inner side of the outer glass of the curtain wall is coated with a colorful metal coating. From the appearance, the entire outer wall is like a mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding environment. When the light changes, the image is colorful and ever-changing. Under the reflection of light, the interior is not exposed to strong light and the vision is soft. China adopted it in the Great Wall Hotel project in Beijing in 1983.

Anyone who has been to New York in the United States will generally be impressed by its bustling urban landscape. The towering skyscrapers are spectacular, and its full-body glass curtain walls reflect the clear blue sky and dancing white clouds, adding to the gorgeous color. So, how are glass curtain walls made? Xinjiang glass curtain wall refers to the mirror glass used as decoration for building exterior walls. It is composed of float glass with trace amounts of Fe, Ni, Co, Se, etc. added and tempered to make transparent plate glass. It can absorb infrared rays, reduce solar radiation entering the room, and lower the indoor temperature. It can both reflect light like a mirror and transmit light like glass.
