Hollow Glass block is a common building material with unique physical and optical properties.

Hollow Glass block is mainly made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and other additives (such as oxides of sodium, calcium, potassium, etc.) melted and formed at high temperature. It is usually a transparent or translucent solid with regular shapes.

Characteristic

• Good light transmittance: It allows light to pass through, providing natural lighting for the room, creating a bright and comfortable environment while maintaining a certain degree of visual privacy.

• Strong decorative effect: There are a variety of colors, textures and sizes to choose from, which can add artistic and beautiful feelings to the architectural design.

• Strong heat insulation: Compared with ordinary glass, it has a certain hindering effect on the conduction of heat, which helps to maintain a stable indoor temperature and has a certain energy-saving effect.

• Good sound insulation effect: It can effectively block the entry of external noise and provide a relatively quiet space indoors.

Classification

• Ordinary glass bricks/glass block: This is the most common type, generally used for indoor partitions, doors and windows, etc., and its main function is to let light in and separate spaces.

• Embossed glass bricks/glass block: There are various patterns on the surface, which can create different visual effects while letting light in. They are often used in places with strong decorative effects, such as bathrooms, restaurants, etc.

• Coloredglass bricks/glass block: By adding different metal oxides and other colorants, they present a variety of bright colors and can be used to create a special atmosphere and style, such as churches, art galleries, etc.

• Laminated glass bricks/glass block: Made of multiple layers of glass bonded by film or other materials, they have high safety and strength. Even if the glass is broken, the fragments will stick to the film and will not scatter and hurt people. They are suitable for places with high safety requirements, such as shopping malls, schools, etc.

Main Application

• Building partitions: In residential buildings, office buildings, shopping malls and other buildings, glass bricks are used to build partitions, which not only ensures the permeability of the space, but also realizes functional division.

• Windows and curtain walls: Used on the facade of the building, they can not only allow sunlight to fully enter the room, but also play a role in beautifying and protecting the internal space.

• Decorative components: They can be used as decorative elements in interior design, such as making screens, entrances, background walls, etc., to enhance the artistic sense of the space.
