Q What customization options are available for laminated glass?
A Reach Building offers custom thickness, colors, patterns, shapes, curved bending, and interlayer choices (PVB or SGP).
-
Q Are glass panels safe for building facades?
A Yes. When processed (tempered, laminated, or coated), they meet safety standards for exterior and structural use.
-
Q Is tempered glass suitable for outdoor use?
A Yes. Tempered glass is highly resistant to temperature changes and wind loads, making it suitable for exterior applications such as curtain walls, facades, skylights, and railings.
-
Q How do consumers distinguish between tempered white glass and low-iron tempered glass？
A Ordinary float tempered white glass and low iron tempered glass have obvious differences in color and light transmission, and can be distinguished by observing the side of the glass block, the side of ordinary tempered white glass is green and dark, while the side of low iron tempered glass is clear white and blue.
-
Q Can REACH provide the full curtain wall system, not just the glass?
A Yes, REACH offers one-stop solutions including aluminum framing, glass panels, and installation accessories.
-
Q What is the difference between "Body Tinted Glass" and "Surface Film Glass"?
A Reach Building specializes in body tinted glass. The color is created by metal oxides within the glass matrix itself. This means the color is permanent and will never peel, bubble, or fade. Surface films or temporary coatings are applied after manufacturing and are highly susceptible to scratching and weather degradation.
-
Q What thickness of glass should I choose for windows or facades?
A 5–8mm for standard windows; 10–19mm for curtain walls or load-bearing applications.
-
Q 4. What colors are available for tinted tempered glass?
A We offer clear, grey, blue, green, and bronze options, as well as low-iron ultra-clear glass for premium transparency.
-
Q Will the glass explode in transit？
A After the production is completed, we will carry out a hot dip test to detect potential nickel sulfide particles by heating them and allow them to self-explode in advance, which can reduce the self-detonation rate of tempered glass to 0.1-0.3%. At the same time, special packaging materials are used: high-strength wooden cases, laminated protective MATS or sponge partitions, high-strength wooden cases, laminated protective MATS or sponge partitions.
-
Q Does tinted glass carry a risk of thermal stress breakage?
A Yes. Because heat absorbing glass absorbs a significant amount of solar radiation, its center becomes much hotter than its shaded edges, creating thermal stress. We highly recommend tempering or heat-strengthening our tinted glass before installing it in exterior applications to entirely eliminate the risk of thermal breakage.
