Glass is a unique transparent material that allows light to pass through, thus making objects behind the glass clearly visible.
02. Dust and water proof
The glass has a smooth glossy surface, so it is dustproof and efficient cleaning. Unlike other materials, it is easy to maintain. Another advantage is that it is waterproof. As a result, glass has the dual advantage of being a dust and water resistant material and is therefore most favored in areas where the air is often filled with dust and sand. The use of glass makes it easy to clean and maintain these areas, while reducing the consumption of time and effort.
03. Color availability
Glass is available in a variety of colors, and its color and appearance change when we combine glass sheets into laminated or insulated units.
04. Beautiful
Glass provides an ideal way to display products. Glass can make the structure look more beautiful and refined, and add beauty to the building. Glass can give a complete aesthetic appearance to the entire structure.
05. Recyclable
Recycling means converting waste into a form that can be reused. Another benefit we can get through glass recycling is that it can save energy, be cost-effective, reduce water and air pollution to a certain extent, and also protect natural resources and so on. The glass is 100% recyclable and does not degrade during recycling. Therefore, it can be recycled repeatedly without compromising quality or purity.
06. Uv stabilization
It is well known that the ozone layer is deteriorating. Therefore, it is necessary to find a better material to protect us from ultraviolet radiation. Glass is UV-stable because it is not affected by UV radiation and therefore does not crack, discolor, or decompose. Unlike materials such as gypsum, which are unstable to ultraviolet radiation, it can survive for a long time.
07. Weather resistance and rust prevention
Unlike most materials, glass is resistant to corrosion and is chemically corroded only under certain conditions. According to “N.Apadopoulos” and “CA Drosou” (authors of the effect of weather conditions on the properties of glass), the chemical composition of glass is a key factor in the interaction of glass with its environment.
08. Easy to shape
Glass is a transparent, hard material that can be easily molded into the desired shape. It is produced by heating sand. Therefore, it can be blown, pulled and pressed into any shape, so it can be used for general glass purposes in buildings, storefronts, building doors and Windows, and workshops. In addition, it is placed in furniture after being laminated with plywood or metal sheets. Therefore, it is one of the most versatile materials used in construction.
09. Electrical insulators
An electrical insulator is a material that is a poor conductor of electricity. Glass is an excellent insulator. It does not conduct electricity easily. In the absence of free electrons, it ensures that you are protected from any electrical hazards. Because of these properties, glass can be used to form ceiling lights, decorative wall lamps, and various other appliances.
10. Sustainable materials
Glass is a sustainable material that is fully recyclable and has tremendous environmental benefits, such as helping to mitigate climate change and conserve valuable natural resources. It is also highly appreciated in many applications for its inert nature and its contribution to protecting the health and well-being of its occupants.
11. Visible light transmittance
Visible light transmittance (VT) is an optical property that represents the amount of light that passes through a glass material in the visible part of the spectrum. It is also related to the amount of light that is allowed to enter the building through these systems. This property (VT) distinguishes glass from other materials and is the reason for its recent popularity.
