1.U-shaped glass light weight, reduce the self-weight of the building; appearance“Light” can increase the use of the building area.　　 

A red-brick wall weighs 350 kg per square metre, while a double-layer channel-glass wall weighs 40 kg per square metre. Channel glass reduces the structure’s dead load and eliminates the need to paint interior and exterior wall surfaces, significantly reducing project costs.

2. Sound and thermal insulation, a better indoor environment, and energy savings

A double-row channel-glass wall has an air space between the layers that provides sound and thermal insulation. Its reported sound insulation is 38 decibels, and its heat transfer coefficient is 1.74 W/m2. K. Single-layer 6 mm glass has a heat transfer coefficient of 3.65 W/m2. K. Channel glass is therefore presented as a wall material for reducing building energy consumption.

3. An ideal light-transmitting wall material offering safety and corrosion resistance

U-shaped glass It has high mechanical strength, and wired channel glass can provide safety protection in high-rise building walls. Channel glass is resistant to acids, alkalis, and high humidity, making it suitable for buildings with corrosion-resistance requirements. It is easy to assemble and can be installed vertically or on a slope, in single or double rows, as wall or roof glazing. Large-area curtain walls can increase daylighting, while the glass serves both decorative and structural functions as a multipurpose building component.

4.Easy to construct, economical and practical 

Overseas, a double-layer vertical channel-glass curtain wall measuring 3m high and 10m long, with a total area of 30m2, can be installed by one person in just one hour.

Channel glass is a mid-range wall material. It can also replace conventional windows and skylights where daylight is needed without a clear view. It saves wood, steel and aluminum and can reduce costs by one-third.
