1. U-shaped glass is available in standard fine-textured, clear and colored finishes. Finishes other than the standard fine texture must be specified in the design.

2. U-shaped glass is non-combustible and can achieve a good fire rating. Any special requirements should be specified in the design in accordance with the relevant standards.

3. Refer to the installation assembly details. Common arrangements are a double row with paired flanges at the joints and a cavity between the rows, or a single row with flanges facing inward or outward.

4. For exterior walls, the allowable installation length of U-shaped glass depends on local wind loads, the height above ground and other factors. 

We hope this overview has helped you better understand the design of U-shaped glass.

U-shaped glass is a familiar material in everyday life. Its appearance and production process reflect advances in glass-industry technology and continued development. We hope this introduction helps you understand it better.

Architectural design of U-shaped glass

A. U-shaped glass is available with different surface treatments, including plain and colored finishes. When specifying a finish other than ordinary glass, identify it in the design.

B.U-shaped glass is a non-combustible material, if there are special requirements should be in accordance with the relevant specifications for design.

C. Classification of U-shaped glass:

U-shaped glass is available in ordinary and wire- or wire-mesh-reinforced versions. Specially prepared wire or wire mesh is pressed into molten glass before rolling to produce a reinforced glass ribbon. The ribbon then passes through a U-shaped glass forming machine to produce reinforced U-shaped glass.

U-shaped glass is available with plain or patterned surfaces. Patterned glass is produced using a rolling cylinder engraved with the desired texture.

By color, U-shaped glass is classified as colorless or colored. Colored glass may be body-tinted or coated. Common coating colors include orange, yellow, golden yellow, sky blue, blue, sapphire blue, green, and wisteria.
