Which glass to choose for shop windows? A good showcase must perform two fundamental functions together, namely those of protecting and displaying the goods. Available to customers to identify the most appropriate solution based on the particular security needs of the premises. But let’s recap the main technical characteristics of double glazing, before explaining in detail how to increase the level of safety offered by double glazing.
DOUBLE GLAZING: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Double glazing is a particular type of glass consisting of the coupling of two or more sheets through the interposition of a frame of variable thickness which can be in aluminum, but also in stainless steel covered with plastic film to maximize the thermal insulation characteristics of the glass. To make the glasses adhere perfectly to the frame, first a special glue is applied, then the glass is passed under a special press, in order to obtain a sealed chamber between the two glasses between which air or, alternatively, noble gases can pass. such as argon or krypton to further increase thermal insulation. Finally, the double glazing is permanently sealed with a bi-component substance that is applied around the glass to maximize the thermal and acoustic insulation of the double glazing.
Once the two-component substance has solidified, the glass can be mounted on any type of window, including shop windows and commercial businesses. But in order to act as a showcase, it is essential to increase the safety features of the double glazing. In fact, like safety glass, double glazing can also be made more resistant with a procedure similar to that with which laminated glass is produced. The shatterproof double glazing retains all the thermal and acoustic insulation characteristics offered by traditional double glazing, but also guarantees the same levels of safety offered by laminated glass.
