Gray Laminated Glass

Grey laminated glass is a functional type of glass that retains all the inherent safety characteristics of laminated glass and is endowed with a grey tone through a special process. This grey not only brings an aesthetic effect but also has practical functions such as shading, heat insulation and anti-glare.

Safety performance (the foundation of laminated glass)

• Anti-shattering and anti-splashing: Even if it is broken due to strong impact, the glass fragments will firmly adhere to the PVB or SGP film in the middle and will not fall to hurt people, greatly enhancing safety.
• Anti-penetration property: Compared with ordinary glass, it is more difficult to be penetrated and has certain anti-theft and explosion-proof performance.

Sunshade and heat insulation functions (the core value of grey)

• Reducing solar heat gain: Grey can effectively absorb and block part of the solar radiation energy (especially infrared rays), thereby reducing the increase in indoor temperature caused by direct sunlight. This can significantly reduce the load on air conditioners and achieve the effect of energy conservation and environmental protection.
• Adjusting the shading coefficient: The depth of gray directly affects the shading coefficient (SC value) and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC value) of the glass. The darker the color, the better the effect of blocking heat from entering the room.

Grey can effectively weaken the dazzling glare and make the light softer and more comfortable. This is particularly important for Windows with large light-receiving areas and severe west-facing sunlight, which can enhance the visual comfort of living and working.

Depending on the concentration of grey, glass can present effects ranging from semi-transparent to nearly opaque, providing varying degrees of privacy protection.
Modern Aesthetics: Grey is a neutral, high-end and modern color that can be easily integrated into various architectural designs such as minimalism, industrial style and modern style, enhancing the overall texture and grade of the building.

The interlayer film in the middle (such as PVB) can effectively block over 99% of ultraviolet rays, protecting indoor furniture, floors, artworks, etc. from fading due to sun exposure.

The main ways to achieve the grey effect are as follows, which will bring slightly different visual effects and functional emphases:

Grey body tinted glass + transparent interlayer (most commonly used)
Process: During the production of glass sheets, specific metal oxides (such as selenium, cobalt, etc.) are added to the raw materials to make the glass body present a uniform gray color from the inside out. Then, one or two pieces of grey base glass are laminated with transparent PVB film.
Features

• Stable and long-lasting color: Color is an inherent property of glass and will never fade.
• Heat-absorbing type: It mainly insulates by absorbing heat, and the surface temperature of the glass will be relatively high.
• Appearance: Viewed from the outside, it is a uniform grey, presenting a solemn and unified visual effect.

Transparent glass + grey PVB laminated film
Process: Two pieces of transparent float glass are used, with a PVB film with a gray tone bonded in the middle.
Features

• High flexibility: You can choose different shades of gray film, even gradient gray.
• Relatively low cost: No need to use expensive body-colored glass.
• Appearance: The overall tone presents a uniform gray color, similar to the effect of the colored glass itself.

Grey glazed laminated glass
Process: First, the grey ceramic glaze is printed onto the inner surface of a piece of glass through screen printing technology. After high-temperature sintering and permanent curing, it is interlayered with another piece of glass using a transparent PVB film.
Features

• Strong decorative effect: It can be customized with various patterns, logos, dots or stripes, etc., to achieve rich facade effects.
• Good privacy: The glazed part is completely opaque.
• Excellent durability: The glaze and glass are fused into one, making it scratch-resistant and corrosion-resistant.

Grey coated glass + laminated (high-performance combination)
Process: Use a piece of grey online-coated (such as pyrolytic coating) or off-line coated (such as magnetron sputtering coating) glass as one piece of laminated glass and combine it with another piece of glass. The common ones are "grey Low-E laminated insulating glass".
Features

• Best energy-saving effect: The grey coating (especially the grey Low-E coating) can reflect solar heat energy, and its heat insulation performance far exceeds that of the grey body glass that merely absorbs heat. It is truly a high-performance energy-saving glass.
• Modern appearance: Usually has a certain reflective effect and a strong sense of architectural curtain wall.
