1.What is U Profile Glass
U Profile Glass, also known as grooved glass, is a type of architectural glass with a unique U-shaped cross section. It is named because of its “U”-shaped cross section, which improves the mechanical strength and rigidity of the glass. It can be divided into many types according to color, appearance and strength. In terms of color, there are colorless and colored ones; in terms of surface state, there are flat and embossed ones; in terms of strength, there are wired and meshed ones and non-wired and meshed ones.

2.Characteristics of  U Profile Glass

(a)Unique structure: U Profile Glass is named for its “U”-shaped cross-section. This design improves the mechanical strength and rigidity of the glass. Compared with ordinary flat glass, U-shaped glass shows higher stability when subjected to external forces.
(b)Superior optical performance:  U Profile Glass has good light transmission and non-transparent performance, and can convert direct light into diffuse light to create a private landscape space. At the same time, with the light at night, U Profile Glass can form a soft luminous body, increasing the beauty of the building.
(c)Thermal Performance: Easy installation: The installation of U Profile Glassdoes not require additional horizontal support. Only the top and bottom frames are needed to fix the glass, which reduces the difficulty and cost of construction. In addition, U Profile Glass can also form a double-layer curtain wall system with ordinary glass, which not only utilizes its thermal performance, but also takes into account the visual experience and ventilation of the internal office.
(d)Energy saving and environmental protection: U Profile Glass has a low production cost and can effectively save energy consumption and building materials. At the same time, its unique texture has also become an important part of the texture shaping of the interior space.
(e)Customization: U Profile Glass is often used in building interior and exterior walls, partitions, roofs and windows, especially in places that require large-area lighting and privacy protection. In addition, in landscape design, U Profile Glass is also often used as a feature wall to create a hazy picture effect.

3.Applications of U Profile Glass

1.Curtain wall: As a wall material, U Profile Glass can be used for interior and exterior walls of buildings. It has a high light transmittance. When used in public buildings such as office buildings, it not only saves the cost of indoor lighting in buildings, but also creates a humane working environment.

2.Industrial and civil buildings: It can be used for non-load-bearing interior and exterior walls, partitions and roofs such as airports, stations, gymnasiums, factories, office buildings, hotels, residences, greenhouses, etc.

3.Landscape design: It can be designed as internal partitions, light strips or background light elements indoors; it can be used as space enclosure and ornamental landscape walls outdoors.

4.Other special uses: such as ball sports venues and rooftops.

Conclusion of U Profile Glass

With the continuous advancement of technology, the types and specifications of U-shaped glass are also constantly enriched and improved. New U-shaped glass products such as wired U-shaped glass and colored U-shaped glass provide more possibilities for architectural design. Although the application of U-shaped glass in China is still relatively new, as the understanding of its performance and advantages gradually deepens, it has great potential in the domestic market. In the future, U-shaped glass is expected to be used in more construction projects and promote the development of the construction industry.
