What is 6+12A+13.52mm Low E laminated insulating glass?
6+12A+13.52mm Low E laminated insulating glass, or low-emissivity laminated insulating glass, is a type of energy-efficient glass designed to enhance insulation, reduce heat transfer, and block harmful UV rays. It is commonly used in windows and doors for residential and commercial buildings.
Normally, this kind of glass combines two pieces of different glass, one is 6mm Low E coated glass, and the other one is 6+6mm tempered laminated glass, which is a safe and nice solar performance combo, that improves thermal efficiency by reducing heat transfer, what a high-rise project first solution.
What is the glass air traffic control tower?
Which typically refers to a modern design of air traffic control towers that use large panoramic glass windows to enhance visibility. These towers are constructed to provide air traffic controllers with an unobstructed 360-degree view of the airport, runways, taxiways, and surrounding airspace. This design, which extensively uses glass, improves the safety and efficiency of managing aircraft takeoffs and landings.
The Airport Tower often uses laminated glass, or laminated double glazing units, which shall ensure safety, and also needs enough heat reduction performance
Why use Low E coated laminated insulating glass in air traffic control tower?
Low-E (Low Emissivity) coated laminated insulating glass is used in air traffic control towers for several reasons, combining energy efficiency, safety, and comfort:
1-Thermal Insulation and Energy Efficiency: Low-E coating reduces heat transfer by reflecting infrared radiation. This helps to keep the tower cool in the summer and warm in the winter, lowering energy consumption for heating and cooling. The Low E Laminated insulating glass (which typically consists of multiple panes separated by an insulating gas) further reduces thermal exchange, making the tower more energy-efficient.
2-Glare Control and Visibility: Air traffic controllers need clear visibility to manage flights. Low-E glass minimizes glare from the sun while still allowing natural light to pass through. This reduces eye strain for controllers and improves their ability to observe aircraft, runways, and taxiways.
3- UV Protection: The Low-E coating blocks a significant amount of UV radiation, protecting both the interior furnishings and the people inside from harmful UV rays. This also reduces fading of equipment and interior surfaces.
4-Acoustic Insulation: Low E coating laminated insulating glass pane helps in reducing external noise, which is critical in an air traffic control tower. The tower is often located near runways, and the laminated glass can provide effective soundproofing, allowing controllers to focus without distraction from the noise of aircraft.
5. Safety and Security: Laminated glass includes a plastic interlayer between glass layers, making it shatter-resistant. In the event of an impact or damage, the glass holds together instead of breaking into sharp pieces, which enhances the safety of the control tower.
6. Durability and Weather Resistance: The combination of Low-E and laminated IGU glass panel makes the structure more durable against extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds or hail, common in elevated towers.
