What is Casted Glass Panels ?
Casted glass, crafted through a casting method, involves the step of pouring liquid glass into molds. Following this, it undergoes cooling and solidification to achieve the intended shape and structure. This type of glass is typically utilized for the creation of intricately shaped or uniquely designed glass items, encompassing artistic pieces, architectural embellishments, and components tailored for specific technical uses
Key Features of Casted Glass Panels :
- Complex shape shaping: Cast glass panels can be molded into various complex shapes, such as curved surfaces, arcs, polygons, etc. Compared with flat glass, it is not limited by the size and shape of traditional flat panels, and can meet the creative needs of some special buildings or decorative designs.
- Realistic and natural texture: In addition to patterns, a variety of natural textures can be simulated, such as stone textures, wood rings, etc. This kind of textured glass panel can replace natural materials in architectural decoration, reducing costs while achieving similar visual effects.
Benefits of Casted Glass Panels:
- Personalization and customization: You can add pigments and pigments before the glass raw materials are injected into the mold or during the casting process to produce glass panels with various patterns and textures. For example, you can simulate the natural effects of stone texture, wood rings, etc., or create abstract artistic patterns to meet the needs of different decorative styles.
- Excellent physical properties: During the casting process, the cast glass panel can make the structure of the glass more compact and the molecular arrangement more orderly through reasonable temperature control and molding process, thereby improving the strength of the glass. Compared with ordinary flat glass, its bending strength and compressive strength have been improved to a certain extent, and it can better withstand external impact, wind load and other forces.
- Good optical properties: High-quality cast glass panels have excellent light transmittance, which can allow a large amount of light to pass through the glass, allowing the room to obtain sufficient natural light. This can not only reduce the dependence on artificial lighting during the day and reduce energy consumption, but also create a bright and comfortable indoor environment.
Application:
- Building facades: Cast glass panels can be shaped into various unique shapes, such as curved surfaces and arcs, providing a unique appearance for modern buildings. Its rich color and texture selection can also complement the overall style of the building. Whether it is used as the facade material of the main building or used to decorate parts of the building, such as entrances and stairwells, it can greatly enhance the artistic expression of the building.
- Skylighting roof and curtain wall: In the application of skylight roof, cast glass panels can be made into suitable shapes and sizes according to design requirements to meet the lighting needs of different building types. Its good thermal stability and strength enable it to maintain good performance even when the top is exposed to direct sunlight and weather changes, providing sufficient natural light for the room.
- Furniture surface material: Cast glass panels can be used as furniture desktops, cabinet doors and other parts. Its hard and wear-resistant properties make it an ideal material for furniture surfaces. Compared with other materials, the glass surface is smoother, not easy to be stained with dust and stains, and easy to clean.
