How To Maintain Insulating Glass

As a glass structure with good performance, insulating glass is used in buildings that require heating, air conditioning, noise prevention or condensation, and where there is no direct sunlight and special light. Let’s talk about the maintenance and maintenance of insulating glass today. Let’s take a look:

1. Deep scratches should be avoided during the use of glass. Deep scratches will reduce the strength of the glass, especially the hollow glass will cause stress concentration and cause self-explosion.

2. The edges of the glass must be protected during the installation and use of architectural glass because the edges of the glass are fragile and are prone to defects such as cracks when bumped. When subjected to external forces, the defects will gradually expand and cause the glass to break.

3. Insulating glass should be stored in a dry and hidden place to prevent rain and moisture. The glass should be placed in a vertical position, and the insulating glass should be placed stably without staggering the two pieces of glass, so as to avoid the sealing layer from being sheared and failing. When the glass is stacked, a soft packaging material should be placed between the glass to prevent the glass from attracting together.

4. It is absolutely forbidden to enter the hollow glass due to moisture or rain because the water film between the glass is almost difficult to volatilize, it will absorb the alkali component on the glass surface, erode the glass surface or corrode the film surface, This phenomenon occurs very quickly, it only takes less than a week, it will cause the glass to be colored, the coated glass will peel off, and the glass strength will also be reduced.

5. During the transportation, storage, installation, and use of insulating glass, the sealant must be protected to avoid reducing the life of the insulating glass.

The above is the maintenance and maintenance knowledge of insulating glass. It should be noted that the storage temperature of insulating glass should be below 70℃, otherwise the durability of organic materials will be significantly reduced. If the sealing part of the hollow glass is immersed in water for a long time, it will age quickly. Therefore, a drainage hole should be opened at the bottom of the window frame and ensure that it is unblocked so that the water in the frame can be quickly drained. Do not irradiate ultraviolet rays to the sealing part of the insulating glass, otherwise, it will age. It is recommended to clean the hollow glass with water or use a neutral detergent first and then rinse with water.
