The main types of U Channel glass are as follows:
I. Classified by color: Clear glass, low iron glass and colored glass.
II. Classified by surface treatment: flat, textured, and coated.
III. Classified by thickness: thin type (below 6mm), medium type (6mm – 10mm), and thick type (above 10mm).
IV. Classified by use: for building exterior walls, for interior partitions, and for skylights.

Advantages:

• High mechanical strength: Compared to ordinary flat glass, the cross-sectional shape of U-shaped glass gives it better structural stability and mechanical strength. It can be used for the walls of medium and high-rise buildings, providing good safety protection.
• Good light transmission: It can provide sufficient natural lighting, increase the brightness of the interior, reduce the need for artificial lighting, and save energy.
• Good thermal insulation: The double-layer installed U-shaped glass wall has an air layer in the middle, which has good thermal insulation and heat preservation performance, helping to reduce building energy consumption and is an ideal energy-saving wall material.
• Excellent sound insulation performance: It can effectively reduce the introduction of external noise and provide a quiet environment for the interior. It is suitable for places with high sound insulation requirements, such as conference rooms and libraries.
• Simple construction: U-shaped glass installation does not require too many accessories, and the construction process is relatively simple and fast. Construction only needs to fix the top and bottom, and there is no need for frame connection between glasses, which can greatly shorten the construction period.
• Save metal materials: Its own structural characteristics enable it to form a wall on its own, reducing the demand for light metal profiles and reducing construction costs.
• Unique decorative effect: U-shaped glass has obvious line sense. There is no frame between glasses, which is clean and transparent, simple and fashionable. Its texture, color, shape, and installation methods can all be customized, which can bring unique visual effects to buildings.
