In modern buildings, curtain walls are not only the "outerwear" of buildings, but also an important element that affects the indoor environment. High-transmittance and low-reflection curtain wall insulating glass, like a "caring housekeeper", can not only introduce sufficient light, but also avoid visual discomfort, creating a comfortable and pleasant space experience for people. It finds a perfect balance between lighting and visual comfort through a series of sophisticated designs.
First of all, the careful selection of glass materials is the basis for achieving high light transmittance. This type of curtain wall insulating glass uses high-purity high-quality glass raw materials with very few internal impurities and uniform molecular structure. Pure glass materials are like transparent crystals, which can minimize the scattering and absorption of light during propagation, allowing natural light to smoothly penetrate the glass into the room. Whether it is the first ray of sunlight in the morning or the bright light in the afternoon, it can be poured in without hindrance, bringing a bright and open atmosphere to the room and meeting people's needs for sufficient lighting.
The low-reflection effect is achieved thanks to advanced coating technology. One or more layers of special films are coated on the surface of the glass, and the optical properties of these films are precisely designed. They can cleverly adjust the reflection and transmission ratio of light and reduce the reflection intensity of light on the glass surface. When sunlight shines on the curtain wall glass, the coating layer will not produce dazzling reflections like ordinary glass, but will softly introduce most of the light into the room. In this way, whether standing indoors and looking out, or looking into the building from the outside, the line of sight will not be disturbed by strong reflected light, which greatly improves the visual comfort and avoids glare and visual fatigue caused by reflection.
The special structure of curtain wall insulating glass also plays an important role in balancing lighting and visual comfort. The presence of the hollow layer can not only improve the performance of thermal insulation, but also have a positive impact on the propagation of light. The gas in the hollow layer (usually inert gas) forms an integral optical system with the glass, further optimizing the transmission path of light. When light passes through the hollow layer, it will undergo multiple refractions and reflections. By reasonably controlling the thickness of the hollow layer and the type of gas, the light can be more evenly distributed in the indoor space to avoid local overbrightness or overdarkness. This uniform lighting effect makes the indoor environment softer and more comfortable, giving people a pleasant visual experience.
In practical applications, high-transmittance and low-reflection curtain wall insulating glass will also be designed according to the orientation and usage requirements of the building. For the south-facing building facade, due to the long and strong sunlight exposure, the low-reflection characteristics of the glass can effectively reduce excessive direct sunlight and heat entering the room, while ensuring sufficient lighting; for facades with poor lighting conditions, its high light transmittance is fully utilized to maximize the introduction of natural light and improve the indoor lighting effect. Through this design method adapted to local conditions, it is ensured that the best balance between lighting and visual comfort can be achieved under different environmental conditions.
In addition, this type of curtain wall insulating glass is also carefully adjusted in color and optical performance. The color of the glass will not be too strong to avoid affecting the light transmittance due to excessive light absorption by the color; at the same time, its optical performance parameters (such as light transmittance, reflectivity, etc.) have been repeatedly tested and optimized to ensure that it can present good visual effects under various lighting conditions. Whether in the bright sunshine or in the soft evening, glass can maintain stable light transmission and low reflection performance, always creating a comfortable visual environment for people.
Finally, during the installation and use of high-light-transmittance and low-reflection curtain wall insulating glass, other architectural design elements will be used to further improve lighting and visual comfort. For example, when combined with the indoor sunshade system, when the sun is strong, by adjusting the angle and position of the sunshade facilities, it can not only reduce the heat and glare caused by direct sunlight, but also use the high light transmittance of the glass to ensure that there is enough diffuse light in the room; in the design of the building facade, the distribution and angle of the curtain wall glass are reasonably planned to allow light to enter the indoor space better, while avoiding the generation of bad reflected light that affects the surrounding environment and the user's visual experience.
High-light-transmittance and low-reflection curtain wall insulating glass successfully takes into account both lighting and visual comfort through the synergy of high-quality material selection, advanced coating technology, special structural design, targeted application design, careful optical matching, and coordination with other architectural elements. It brings a bright and transparent spatial environment to modern buildings, while allowing people to enjoy a comfortable and healthy visual experience both indoors and outdoors, becoming an important choice for improving quality and comfort in architectural design.
