The functions of insulating glass and laminated glass seem to be similar, and there is not much difference between the two in the matching of the sunroom. What is the difference between the advantages of the two? How to choose to make the practical experience of the sunroom more at ease?


Sunshine room-insulated glass:

Insulating glass is a building material with thermal and sound insulation properties (main materials include: glass, warm-edge spacers, corner bolts, butyl rubber, polysulfide rubber, desiccant, etc.). It is made by using two pieces (three pieces) of glass, using a highly airtight composite adhesive to bond the glass pieces to the aluminum alloy frame containing a desiccant, and then filling the glass compartment with dry gas. High efficiency, sound insulation, and heat insulation glass.

Sunshine room-laminated glass:

Laminated glass (also called laminated glass, explosion-proof glass) is made of two or more pieces of float glass sandwiched with a strong PVB (ethylene polymer butyrate) film, which is pressed by a hot press to discharge the intermediate air, and then It is a composite glass product that is put into a high-pressure steam kettle and melts the remaining small amount of air into the glue film at high temperature and pressure. Compared with other glass, laminated glass has outstanding shock resistance, anti-theft, bulletproof and explosion-proof performance.

Insulating glass VS laminated glass


   1. To a certain extent, both laminated and insulating glass has certain sound insulation and heat insulation effects, but the main points of the two are quite different. Laminated glass has better anti-vibration and explosion-proof performance, and insulating glass has better thermal insulation performance than laminated glass.


  2. In terms of sound insulation performance, there is also a big difference between the two. Laminated glass has better seismic performance, so (in strong wind) the noise caused by its own vibration will be very small. In comparison, hollow glass is prone to resonance. But in terms of blocking outdoor noise, the advantages of insulating glass (argon gas, profiles, etc.) will be more obvious.


  3. In the sunroom application, if it is a general household application (sunroom, etc.), hollow glass (anti-noise, heat insulation) will be a good choice. However, if you live in a high-rise, windy area (with less external noise impact), it is safer to choose laminated glass.


  4. Generally speaking, laminated double-layer tempered glass is mostly used on the top of the sunroom; while the facade glass of the sunroom is mostly hollow glass. Considering the danger of falling objects from high altitude, laminated glass has better explosion-proof safety and is not easy to break and fall and hurt people. People in the sunroom will be safe; the facade of the sunroom (using an insulated glass) is mainly Considering the comfort experience (heat insulation, warm in winter and cool in summer), the overall performance of the sunroom is better.
