Today one interesting invention in the field of glass technology is so valuable.
Can you imagine that your good smooth, clear glass can change when you press the switch? What can it suddenly become not transparent, protecting your privacy in an instant? It seems too good to be true - except that now it is the same reality as some of the terrible TV that creates the cult of celebrities.
The technology now allows us to create privacy glasses containing a unique layer that changes them radically when a second electric current passes through it. When turned on, this glass is optically transparent, which allows people in the building to look around and give others the ability to see them. But with the flick of a switch, however, this glass can become opaque, giving complete privacy to those on the inside.
Of course, this is good news for famous people. For example, such a glass in a hospital room may keep a secret from the press that a pop star is about to undergo plastic surgery.
It is desirable to use glass that provides confidentiality in combination with fire resistance and high tempering in the windows of banking institutions and expensive stores. For example, make it opaque when collected or re-counted. This can be a good deterrent for crackers, allowing them to quietly evacuate people from the premises when trying to seize the building by terrorists.
What is triplex?
The word triplex itself is of Latin origin and means triple. This term is usually referred to as a special technology for the production of glass products, and its result is laminated glass. The basis of triplex technology is the creation of a kind of “sandwich” of two or more glasses and a polymer layer between them. This layer is able to hold glass fragments upon impact, while at the same time its properties, as a material, remain unchanged.
Methods for the production of triplex
According to the production method, there are two types of triplex, distinguished by their qualities: -triplex created by film technology, it has the best optical characteristics, -triplex created by casting technology has higher strength. Consider the specifics of both methods of triplex production.
Filling technology
Glass plates are glued to each other along the entire surface with a special adhesive fluid (resin), under the influence of uniform UV irradiation, the resin completely polymerizes - this is the way triplex is filled. Triplex multi-layer is produced sequentially, layer by layer, so that the resin solidifies equally. This method allows you to connect different both in texture and color and in the thickness of the glass.
Film technology
With this method of manufacturing triplex is placed between the sheets of glass, then the entire package is pre-pressed in the colander, and then it is finally glued at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius in an autoclave. In the colander, the air remaining between the film and the glass layers is squeezed out mechanically using rubber shafts, resulting in a certain adhesion of the glass to the film. Triplex is unloaded from the colander almost transparent. Triplex produced by modern technologies has the ability to absorb sound, reduce ultraviolet radiation, thermal resistance and mechanical strength several times more than ordinary glass

Glass sliding door
With the intense rhythm of modern life, every person should have a place where you can escape from the hassle and relax. This is our house. And the glass doors in it have clean, elegant lines, help the eyes relax, relieve fatigue.
They also have a number of advantages over conventional wooden doors. Glass interior doors bring light to the rooms of the house, which need natural light. For example, a glass door to the hallway or pantry is equivalent to a new window, but without the hassle of installing it.
Glass interior doors increase visual space
A traditional house is a set of rooms connected by doors. They can be freed and combined. But, not destroying the walls, but choosing doors with large glass panels. Adjoining rooms will be assembled together, and visually the interior of the house will become much larger. Sliding doors will also look organically.
Glass interior doors are a great opportunity to decorate and change the interior.
According to the chosen design, chemical etching (one-sided and two-sided, deep), volume engraving, cabochons, milling can be applied to the glass cloth.
Disappearing Sliding Doors
Such sliding glass doors, when opened, enter a niche in the wall (pocket) corresponding to the width of the panels of which the doors are made. When installed in wide openings, the opening point is in the center and often use remote control.

They also install parallel-sliding multi-wing structures. The principle of their action is more complex. Sashes are divided into panels with the same width, their number can be up to 7. When opened, they fold like an accordion and go into the wall, or can be fixed above the side of the opening.
Trackless and endangered
These sliding glass doors are suspended from the upper rail and do not have a lower rail to move. They can also disappear in the side pocket. When fully closed, the doors lower slightly to adjoin the floor, which avoids the
draft.

Sliding glass doors provide panoramic views, fresh air and plenty of natural light. The range of their application is wide: hotel rooms and apartments, apartments, and country houses. They are installed between the interior of the house and the yard, at the exit to the patio, garden, barbecue or pool, as well as on the deck of the ship.

Sushi, sakura, hoku and ... sliding glass doors
sliding glass door
Glass doors that can be moved apart with a flick of the wrist came to us from Japan. Prototypes of such doors appeared already 200 years before our era and traditionally consisted of a light bamboo frame with rice paper stretched over it. These shoji doors are called. They did not separate the person from the surrounding nature, and in hot weather, they could be removed to ventilate the house. The same doors divided the interior of the dwelling into separate rooms. Before the war, interest in the Land of the Rising Sun, its cuisine, traditional clothes and style in the interior increased. And then sliding doors appeared in Europe, America, and Russia. The principle of their work remains the same - this is the movement of the door leaves along the guide rails. The only difference is that stone or wooden rails replaced special profiles, and rice paper replaced the
glass.
Interior glass sliding doors come in several forms:
Classic Sliding Doors
They consist of two glass panels - one stationary and fixed, the other moving. A movable panel slides along a rail parallel to a fixed, fixed panel. Traditional sliding glass doors are often used in the interior of Japanese, theme restaurants, Japanese tea house gardens, and in the design of botanical gardens.

Security sensor
Notifies you when the glass sliding partitions open without your knowledge or permission. The sensor sends a signal to the alarm panel when opening the partitions, either emits a sound signal or automatically rings the security company, depending on the specific security system. When the alarm is off, the sliding panels can be freely opened and closed without activating sensors.
There are also special sensors that respond to the sound of breaking glass and its vibration from impact. They will warn immediately if your glass sliding partitions have been destroyed. Installing them is especially important if your house has a sliding glass door or window in an area with low traffic, such as a basement. Otherwise, you can detect unauthorized entry only after some time.
Metal screw or washer
Inserting them in the upper part of the partition box or in the guide rail itself will help prevent unauthorized removal of the partition. The screw or washer acts like a cork, preventing the glass panel from being raised above a predetermined height.
Appropriate tools guarantee the use of partitions without the risk of breaking. Check your glass sliding partitions every night before going to bed to make sure that all sensors are active and the dowel rods are in place!
