[China Glass Net] The dry and wet partition of the bathroom has become the mainstream of today's decoration. In order to achieve the division, designers will choose to use glass partition (shower room). The shower room has entered many families like traditional bathroom products. However, accidents in the shower room glass have been frequently caused by accidents. How to choose safety glass? How to use it more assured? The reporter visited the home improvement market and asked the industry to provide readers with a series of glass explosion-proof guides.

Many families have installed shower rooms or sunrooms. The glass burst incident was reported in the media. What caused the shower room and the sun room glass to burst?
Manufacturers use inferior tempered glass is the main cause
Chen Tai, the person in charge of the door and window of Huizhou Taigang, told the reporter that the tempered glass installed in the sun room and shower room is generally of good quality, the temperature resistance is 2 to 3 times higher than that of ordinary glass, and the impact strength of tempered glass is also higher than ordinary. The glass is 3-5 times stronger. Therefore, the safety performance is still relatively high.
However, the market also uses inferior tempered glass to make shower rooms and sun rooms. Even a few enterprises use ordinary glass instead of tempered glass to reduce costs. Due to low raw materials and irregular production process, serious safety hazards are brought about.
In addition to the quality of the glass, processing, transportation and construction processes may also cause damage to the glass. “Scratches, blasts, blasts, etc., which appear to be small defects, tend to cause excessive concentration, resulting in glass self-explosion. Chen Tai said.
"In our industry, there is a 'three-thousand-thousand-self-explosion rate of tempered glass', so even if it is qualified tempered glass, there are still three thousandths of self-explosion probability." Chen Tai reminded that some merchants would claim that "the country allows a thousand points." The third self-detonation rate exists, but this statement is wrong. The state does not have any such regulations or specifications, so consumers should recognize it.
Good glass to see quality, not thicker and safer
In addition, some businesses often mislead consumers in publicity, such as claiming that 8 cm thick glass is safer and more durable than 6 cm. actually not. Deng Wanli, manager of Jinding Doors and Windows, said that tempered glass can withstand the temperature of bathing and sauna. The most important thing to buy tempered glass is to look at quality, not thickness. Good quality tempered glass, 6 cm thick is also enough, and the inferior glass 10 cm thickness will also be a problem.

Wear sunglasses and distinguish between genuine and fake tempered glass
So, how can consumers avoid buying inferior shower rooms and sun room tempered glass? Reduce home security risks?
The 3C mark is fired on the tempered glass.
Deng Wanli introduced, first of all, to see if there is 3C mark certification on the glass. 3C certification is the abbreviation of China's compulsory product certification. This mark is directly burned on glass during the firing process of tempered glass. It is difficult to counterfeit. This is one of the more direct standards for purchasing tempered glass.
Good glass, no noise, bubbles
The next step is to see the details: whether the glass is transparent, whether there are no noise or bubbles, is the main indicator. If inferior materials are used or the process is missing, the produced glass is prone to strays and bubbles, which will reduce the hardness and strength of the glass.
In addition, to distinguish whether it is tempered glass, the easier way is to wear sunglasses to see. If it is tempered glass, consumers will see colored stripes on the glass when they wear sunglasses.
Tempered glass feels concave and convex
Ordinary glass feels smooth and slippery, while the flatness of tempered glass will be poor, and it feels uneven when touched.
Knocking on the glass with the knuckles, the tempered glass sounds crisper, and the ordinary glass sounds dull.
How to use security?
â— Do not suddenly use hot water with too high temperature. Chen Tai said that the inside of the shower room is generally a confined space. The high temperature and high pressure of the bath and even the sauna will accumulate to a certain extent, which will cause pressure on the glass. If the glass is unevenly heated, it will easily cause a burst. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not suddenly use hot water that is too hot.
â— Do not use sharp objects to cut glass tempered glass, which can withstand the weight of several people, but it has a weakness, that is, it is afraid of being scratched and hit by sharp objects. Therefore, avoid sharp objects to scratch and hit the glass, otherwise it is dangerous.
â—The corners are well protected. “It is no problem to knock the center of the tempered glass with a hammer, but if you knock on the corners of it, it will break easily.†Deng Wanli explained. The production process of tempered glass determines that its frontal impact resistance is strong, but the corners are particularly vulnerable, so it is necessary to protect the corners.
