Glass is a material used for numerous building processes.
New solutions have been developed capable of significantly reinforcing the strength of the glass sheets, so as to make this material safer and more solid.
One of the solutions adopted was that of screening.
It is a process that involves casting and laminating the fused glass with a steel mesh inside, in order to confer superior technical characteristics compared to normal glass.
This solution is often used for construction of part of the glass parapets, to give them the best possible resistance.
The main characteristics of wired glass
Wired glass, also called reinforced glass, is a sodium-calcium type glass with a smooth surface.
Inside there are often chromed metal wires that can also create a complex network.
These glasses are obtained by placing an electro-welded mesh between 2 sheets of glass in a pasty state, which are then fused into a single sheet, which usually has a thickness of 6/10 mm.
This solution, as expected, allows to give the slabs aexcellent impact resistance, thanks to the armor that is drowned inside the slab.
Due to the presence of the metal mesh, these glasses cannot be subjected to the tempering process, which occurs to give greater resistance to normal glasses, making them about 4 times more resistant than normal.
