It is expected that the complete line glass architectural glass market will continue to establish alliances with a number of construction companies to expand their revenue.

It is expected that from 2017 to 2022, the global complete line glass architectural glass market will boost demand as its investment in product R&D activities increases and the demand for new technologies introduction increases.

The global complete line glass architectural glass market is estimated to thrive at a strong compound annual growth rate of 13.1% during the forecast period. The global complete line glass architectural glass market was valued at US$1.78 billion in 2017 and is expected to surge to US$3.3 billion by 2022.

By region, the global complete line glass architectural glass market is divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Among them, Europe is expected to drive the demand for the complete line glass architectural glass market from 2017 to 2022. It is expected that during the forecast period, its compound annual growth rate will reach 14.8%. This increase is the result of supporting the adoption of environmentally friendly building solutions and sustainable energy production guidelines.

During this period, North America and the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan) are also expected to provide fruitful growth opportunities for existing major companies. This increase is mainly due to the increasing awareness of renewable energy and its advantages, as well as the strong momentum of industrialization. These factors may have a positive impact on the global complete line glass architectural glass market.

The global complete line glass architectural glass market demand is mainly due to the increasing awareness of carbon emissions reduction. The population in all regions is turning to renewable and traditional energy sources for low-cost power generation. This in turn has a positive impact on the complete line glass architectural glass market.

The rapid adoption of complete line glass technology is expected to drive a surge in demand for complete line glass architectural glass in various regions (especially North America). As far as the field is concerned, the market growth potential of the construction field is huge, and it occupies most of the global photovoltaic architectural glass market.

The complete line glass architectural glass is used in construction, such as education, residential, hospital, retail, and enterprises, which will drive the demand for the complete line glass architectural glass market. Due to the increase in R&D investment, the construction sector is also expected to grow.

We know the types of glass. What are the main applications of glass in architecture?

Application of complete line glass in construction

To fully understand the use of glass in architecture, we must first understand several common architectural glasses. For different occasions, designers are pursuing different things, and they need a glass with different functions.

The complete line glass vs Tempered glass

Tempered glass is made by pouring float glass (glass made by the float method) in a tempering furnace, and pour the molten glass on a liquid with a specific gravity greater than that of the molten glass-usually on the surface of liquid tin, so that the glass can be shaped, which can reduce mechanical glass making Uneven or containing bubbles, etc.) heat it to near the softening point, and then quickly and uniformly cool it to form uniform compressive stress on its surface, improve its mechanical strength, and effectively improve the wind pressure and impact resistance of the glass.

Performance characteristics: high strength, good safety, stable heat resistance, large deflection (when under load, the maximum tensile stress is not on the surface of the glass, but in the center of the board)

Self-explosion phenomenon: It is mainly caused by the volume expansion caused by the phase change of nickel sulfide (NIS) in the glass, which is difficult to completely eliminate.

Hot-bent tempered glass: The original float glass is heated to the softening temperature, then it is bent into shape by its own weight or external force and cooled naturally to make the required curved glass. It is mostly used in curved glass curtain walls, sightseeing elevators, indoor curved glass partitions, glass guardrails, indoor furniture, etc.

The complete line glass vs Glass curtain wall

The birth of the glass curtain wall originated from Kandinsky’s "Glass Boundary" concept in 1909. The Harid Building in the United States in 1917 was regarded as the first building to put it into practice, and the true glass curtain wall was made in 1952. Hua Building, after decades of development, modern glass curtain wall technology has been very mature, mainly including frame-supported glass curtain wall, point-supported glass curtain wall, and all-glass curtain wall.

The complete line glass vs Frame-supported glass curtain wall

Frame-supported glass curtain wall: The periphery of the glass panel is supported by a metal frame, which can be divided into the component type and unit type according to different installation forms; and according to the different effects produced, it can be divided into the exposed frame, semi-hidden frame and hidden frame.

The complete line glass vs Component type

Component type: The curtain wall keel is connected to the building structure through embedded parts, and then glass panels are installed. The exposed frame curtain wall will be covered on the outside of the keel, and the hidden frame will use weather-resistant sealant to seal the gap. Component-type curtain walls require on-site construction of supporting keels and then installation of glass. Compared with unit-type curtain walls, the unit square cost is lower, subsequent maintenance is more convenient, and it is suitable for curved glass curtain walls or complex building shapes.

The complete line glass vs Unitary

Unit type: Unit type curtain wall is made up of aluminum alloy frame, glass, cushions, insulation materials, shock absorption, and waterproof materials, and decorative fabrics. The curtain wall unit is assembled in the factory in advance, and then transported to the site for hoisting and assembly, and directly connected to the building structure. Connected, it is installed quickly and has high flatness, which is especially suitable for super high-rise buildings.

The complete line glass vs Point-supported glass curtain wall

Point-supported glass curtain wall: It is composed of decorative surface glass and connecting component supporting structure. The completed curtain wall is more transparent. According to different structural forms, it can be divided into cable-net-type point-supported curtain walls, tie-rod-type point-supported curtain walls, and glass ribs. Point support curtain wall, etc.

The complete line glass vs Full glass curtain wall

Full glass curtain wall: It is divided into rear support type, seat-mounted type, and hoisting type. The rear support type is composed of glass ribs and glass panels. The former supports and the rear of the panel. The structure is essentially a point-supported glass curtain wall, but the effect is purer and transparent; the seat-mounted type is that the glass sits directly on the structural beams and slabs of the building; the hoisting type is that the glass panel is suspended by the upper suspension device.
