Pattern glass, often referred to as decorative or pressed glass, is characterized by its distinct surface designs created through various manufacturing techniques. The patterns can range from geometric shapes and floral motifs to intricate textures that mimic natural elements. These unique qualities make pattern glass not only suitable for windows and doors but also for a broad array of applications, including cabinetry, lighting fixtures, and decorative screens.
Moreover, the versatility of self frosting glass extends to its applications across various sectors. In hospitals, for example, self frosting glass can be used in patient rooms to create a calming and private environment. In residential settings, it can be employed in bathrooms or bedrooms where privacy is paramount. Retail spaces can use this innovative glass in storefronts to create dynamic displays that can change throughout the day, attracting customers while maintaining security.
Typically, an IGU consists of two or more panes of glass that are hermetically sealed around their edges. The space between these panes is filled with air or an inert gas, such as argon or krypton, which has a lower thermal conductivity than air. This gas-filled cavity reduces heat transfer between the indoors and outdoors, significantly enhancing energy efficiency. Moreover, the external and internal surfaces of the glass may be treated with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings. These coatings reflect infrared energy, further improving the thermal performance by keeping heat inside during the winter months and blocking it during the summer.
