Product introduction
U-shaped glass, also known as slotted glass, is named because its cross-section presents "U". U-shaped glass is a relatively popular building material in recent years, can be applied to the building outdoor curtain wall and indoor separation wall design, U-glass relative to ordinary glass, the biggest feature is high mechanical strength and stiffness, so the actual use does not need additional horizontal support, you can bear their own weight, and a single piece of material can do about 6m, can reduce the horizontal separation of the facade.
One of the first countries in the world to produce U-glass was Austria, where Moos Brunner Glasfubrik began producing U-glass with a base width of 262mm in 1957. LoF and AFG in the United States, PPG Industries in Canada and Nitro in Japan have also built U-shaped glass production lines.

Eastern European countries to the former Soviet Union as the earliest, in 1965, the Russian Federation's first U-shaped glass production line in Polsk glass plant put into operation, the annual output of 30,000 m2. Subsequently, in Bauer Glass Factory, Red May Glass Factory, Chernyagin Glass Factory, Gushev Glass Factory, Mosley Asbestos Insulation Materials Joint Company and other 11 enterprises have built more than 10 U-shaped glass production lines, by 1975, the former Soviet Union U-shaped glass production has reached 4 million m2.
The production of U-shaped glass in the former ADR, as well as in Romania, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Portugal and other countries, also began in the late 1960s.
A two-wire U-shaped glass from Oran Glass Company of Algeria was put into operation at the end of 1992, pioneering the production of U-shaped glass in Africa.
Application
Because U-shaped glass has a better light transmission and good decorative properties, can be used in airports, stations, gymnasiums, factories, office buildings, hotels, residential, greenhouses and other industrial and civil buildings with non-load-bearing internal and external walls, partitions, windows and roofs.
Market conditions
There are only a few companies in the world that produce U-shaped glass technology, two in Germany (the Lamberts plant in Germany and the Baugrass plant in Pilkington, England), and a few in China.
U-shaped glass at home and abroad many projects, there is no shortage of pleasing design unique classic buildings, as early as 1995 Dutch architect Ville Arez's Boxter Police Department, to today's 2010 Shanghai World Expo Chile Pavilion, during which there are Qingdao Yanzhong Smoke Factory and Angang large-scale U-glass complex, has a unique shape of Seoul University in Korea ... The superiority of this material is fully demonstrated on the exterior walls and internal partitions of many types of buildings.
U-type glass technology has been very mature, with the continuous improvement of market awareness, market space has been rapidly expanded, I believe that in the near future, U-type glass will become indispensable green building materials for modern urban development, will greatly improve the quality of the human living environment, for China's sustainable economic development to make their own contribution!
