At present, the earliest known glass appeared in northern Mesopotamia in 5000 BC. The application of glass glaze on the surface of small ceramics is considered to be the original form of glass. About 1600 BC, pure glassware appeared in Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Near East. The most common type is made by winding glass fiber on the surface of clay or sand core. Hard core forming is the main glass manufacturing process. The blowing technology, invented by the Phoenicians in the first century BC, is an important milestone in the history of glass development. Since then, people have been able to make larger and more sophisticated glass products, such as the glass railings on villas' balconies. In Greek times, Alexandria and now Syria became the center of glass manufacturing. In the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, glass craft spread widely from these regions, as far as the western part of the Roman Empire.
The glass is applied to the railings to make them better. Glass balcony railing has many advantages and is widely loved and recognized by people. First of all, from the appearance, its color is bright and fadeless. In addition, it is durable and has high impact strength. The glass balcony railing has a long service life, which can be invested once and enjoyed for life. The development of science and technology makes the manufacturers use more high-quality raw materials, so the glass balcony railings made have good weather resistance, which can withstand high temperature, low temperature, salt fog and humidity. It also has the advantages of low maintenance cost, maintenance free and easy cleaning. Whether from the base materials, accessories, or painting, high-quality brand products are used to fundamentally ensure product quality.
The crystal clear glass balustrade on the villa balcony is often used as a decorative handicraft and practical safety fence at home. The glass railings on the balcony of the villa are made of colorful blown glass, which is as romantic as glass, making the house beautiful. The warm light at night reflects on the dreamlike glass, reflecting the dazzling light and shadow. The glass railings of the villa balcony can present different aesthetic feelings, making the glass railings of the villa balcony more distinctive.The villa balcony glass railing is a combination of pultruded glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) as structural profile and GRP molded products. It is the most cost-effective fence. It has the advantages of light weight, high strength, durability, beautiful appearance, security, no maintenance, etc. The basic composition of the fiberglass fence: the frame structure is based on the fiberglass square tube or round tube, and the fiberglass grid plate is used as the main protective surface, and then various connectors are used to connect the parts together.
Features of glass railings on villa balconies: Compared with metal railings, glass reinforced plastic railings have the advantages of corrosion resistance, aging resistance and long service life. It is light in weight and high in strength. Even if it is limited by the self impact resistance, it will not be irreducible deformation or damage. There are various colors, including green, yellow, gray, etc. Because of the light weight, it is very convenient to install or cut. Comprehensive performance and high economic benefit Glass railings of villa balconies are made of glass fiber reinforced plastics. The forming process is to extrude continuous reinforcement materials impregnated with resin glue under the action of traction, and then solidify them by heating in the mold and heating system. They have the following characteristics: corrosion resistance, no rust; Light weight and high strength; Fatigue resistance; Bright color; Anti aging, long service life; Excellent electrical insulation performance.
Features and advantages of glass balcony railing:
Protection. The glass balcony guardrail has good flexibility and is not easily damaged by external forces. It is sturdy and durable, with strong impact resistance, 4 to 5 times that of ordinary glass and 10 times that of plastic steel products. It can ensure the safety of people and property to the maximum extent, and make your living comfortable. In particular, it can protect children's personal safety.
Decorative. No matter how beautiful the interior decoration is, passers-by can't see it from the outside. As a window, the balcony decoration is the only place to show the family decoration style to people. The beauty of the family decoration is completely highlighted by the balcony guardrail, so it is very important to choose what kind of guardrail to decorate the balcony. Compared with the guardrail made of traditional materials, the glass balcony guardrail has rich colors, which can meet the different personalized needs of decoration users. It can also make people look bright. If you wait and see, it will attract the attention of many decoration enthusiasts, add luster to the family decoration, and play the best decoration effect.
practicability. For users living in high-rise buildings, what they usually worry about is that the higher the floor, the stronger the wind and the louder the noise. If the wind is too strong, it is difficult to rest in the room, not to mention placing decorative items or drying clothes on the balcony. The glass balcony guardrail is a fully enclosed structure with good sealing effect. If you close all the guardrails, it is like a glass wall, which can play an excellent wind insulation and sound insulation effect. Therefore, no matter how high the floor you live in, you can be free from the wind and sleep safely.
Practice of balcony glass railing:
Embed the bottom plate. Installation of embedded parts (post embedded parts) The installation of embedded parts of railings can only adopt the post embedded parts method. The method is to use expansion bolts and steel plates to make post connectors. First, set out on the civil base course to determine the position of the column fixing point, then drill holes on the ground with an impact drill, and then install the expansion bolts. The bolts should be kept in sufficient length. After the bolts are positioned, tighten the bolts and weld the nuts and screws, Prevent nut and steel plate from loosening. The above method is also adopted for the connection of handrail and wall face.
Setting out. During the construction of embedded parts, errors may occur, so before the installation of the column, the setting out shall be carried out again to determine the accuracy of the position of the embedded plate and the welding pole. If there is any deviation, it shall be corrected in time. It shall be ensured that all stainless steel columns are located on the steel plate and can be welded around.
Weld the column. When installing and welding the column, two people should cooperate. One should hold the steel pipe to keep it vertical and not shake during welding. The other should weld around and meet the welding specifications.
Welded surface pipe, glass connector. Before the installation of handrails and columns, grooves shall be machined at the upper end of handrails and columns according to the inclination angle of the site and the roundness of handrails. Then put the handrails directly into the column groove and install them by spot welding from one end to the other. The adjacent handrails shall be installed with accurate butt joints and tight joints. After the adjacent steel pipes are connected, the joints shall be welded with stainless steel welding rods, and then be inlaid with organic glass.
Polish. After all welding is completed, the weld shall be leveled and sanded with a portable grinder until no weld is visible. During polishing, the flannelette grinding wheel or felt shall be used for polishing, and the corresponding polishing paste shall be used at the same time, until it is basically consistent with the adjacent base metal and there is no weld.
It is required that tempered glass with a thickness of no less than 12mm shall be used; The glass shall be installed safely without looseness. The glass installation position and method shall comply with relevant regulations.
