Glass treatments:
There are several treatments for glass in facades that improve its performance and aesthetics. Among others:
1. Annealing: A controlled cooling process that reduces internal stresses, guaranteeing dimensional stability.
2. Tempering: Increases resistance to impact and heat, breaking into safe fragments in case of breakage.
3. Solar control layers: Applied to reduce heat and glare entry, improving energy efficiency.
4. Low-emissivity layers: Minimizes heat loss, keeping the interior warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
5. Laminated: Consists of two or more layers of glass joined with an interlayer, improving safety and reducing noise.
6. Air chamber: Used in double or triple glazing to improve thermal insulation.
7. Argon chamber: Fills the air chambers with argon, increasing energy efficiency and reducing heat transfer.
These treatments optimize the performance and comfort of buildings.
