Reelicon Insulated Glass

What is insulated glass, and why is it ideal for energy-efficient buildings?

Insulated Glass Units (IGUs), also known as double or triple-glazed windows, are made up of two or more glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed air or inert gas in between. This configuration significantly improves thermal insulation, reduces heat transfer, and enhances energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings. By minimizing the need for heating and cooling, IGUs help lower energy bills and reduce carbon footprint.

How effective is insulated glass in soundproofing interiors?

Insulated glass is highly effective in reducing noise pollution. The sealed air or gas layer between the panes dampens sound vibrations, making it a popular choice for buildings near highways, airports, or in busy urban environments. Adding thicker glass or laminated glass layers further enhances acoustic performance.

Reelicon Laminated Glass

What makes laminated glass a superior safety glass?

Laminated glass is composed of two or more sheets of glass bonded together by an interlayer—commonly PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or SGP (SentryGlas Plus). Upon impact, the interlayer holds the broken pieces together, preventing them from scattering. This property makes it an excellent choice for areas where human safety is paramount, such as skylights, balconies, facades, and automobile windshields.

Does laminated glass provide UV protection and durability?

Yes. Laminated glass can block over 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting furniture, flooring, and interiors from fading. It also offers superior durability against forced entry and environmental stresses such as windstorms or accidental impact, making it ideal for both security and design.

Reelicon Tempered / Toughened Glass

Why is tempered glass considered one of the safest types of architectural glass?

Tempered (or toughened) glass undergoes a thermal tempering process that increases its strength up to five times compared to regular float glass. If broken, it shatters into small, pebble-like fragments that reduce the risk of injury. This makes it compliant with global safety standards for use in high-traffic and critical spaces like entrances, partitions, windows, and shower cabins.

What applications is toughened glass suitable for?

Tempered glass is versatile and ideal for applications that require strength, thermal resistance, and safety. It’s widely used in glass doors, curtain walls, facades, tabletops, glass railings, and bathrooms. It’s also suitable for areas exposed to high temperatures or mechanical stress.

Reelicon Heat-Strengthened Glass

What is heat-strengthened glass, and how is it different from tempered glass?

Heat-strengthened glass is partially tempered glass that is reheated and cooled more slowly than fully tempered glass. While it’s twice as strong as annealed glass, it doesn’t meet the fragmentation standards of tempered glass. It retains larger shards upon breakage and is typically used when full tempering isn’t necessary but enhanced strength is still desired.

When should heat-strengthened glass be used instead of fully tempered glass?

Heat-strengthened glass is ideal for laminated units or insulating glass assemblies where the glass won’t be directly exposed to potential human impact. It’s used in facades, spandrel panels, and structural glazing where thermal stress resistance is required but full tempering may cause distortion or unnecessary cost.

Reelicon Bulletproof Glass

What is bulletproof glass made of, and how does it work?

Bulletproof (or ballistic-resistant) glass is made by layering polycarbonate, acrylic, and laminated glass in a specific sequence. These layers absorb and disperse the force of a bullet, preventing penetration and minimizing splintering. The thickness and composition vary depending on the level of protection needed—from small arms fire to high-caliber rifles.

In which environments is bulletproof glass most commonly installed?

Bulletproof glass is used in high-security environments such as government buildings, embassies, banks, VIP residences, jewelry stores, and armored vehicles. It offers peace of mind and protection against theft, armed attacks, and accidental gunfire.

Reelicon Smart Glass

How does smart glass technology work, and what are its types?

Smart glass uses advanced technologies like PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal), electrochromic, or SPD (Suspended Particle Device) to change its opacity. It can switch from transparent to frosted (or tinted) with the press of a button, a remote control, or automation systems. PDLC smart glass is the most common for privacy on demand, while electrochromic glass offers gradual tinting for solar control.

What are the benefits of using smart glass in residential and commercial spaces?

Smart glass enhances energy efficiency, reduces glare, and allows for dynamic privacy without blinds or curtains. It’s aesthetically modern and integrates well with automation systems. Popular in conference rooms, hotel bathrooms, modern homes, and hospitals, it elevates both form and function.
