In the current era when sustainable development is increasingly valued, environmental protection concepts have long penetrated into every aspect of home decoration. From the choice of building materials to the way of decoration, consumers have begun to give priority to materials that have less impact on the environment and are more friendly to the health of residents. As a common door product in home and commercial spaces, glass doors are popular for their transparent, beautiful, energy-saving and sound-insulating characteristics. When purchasing glass doors, paying attention to their environmental friendliness and the use of green materials is not only a responsible consumer behavior, but also a contribution to our planet.
The so-called "environmentally friendly glass door" does not only look at the composition of the glass itself, but refers to a product that has less impact on the environment throughout the production, transportation, use and recycling cycle. The following aspects are the core factors to measure whether a glass door is environmentally friendly:
Sustainable source of raw materials: whether the resources such as silica sand and soda ash required for glass production come from reasonable mining, and whether they contain toxic and harmful additives.
Low-carbon and energy-saving production process: whether the process of manufacturing glass doors is optimized and whether carbon emissions and energy consumption are reduced.
High recyclability: Is the glass door easy to be recycled and reused after the end of its service life, and whether it will cause secondary pollution to the environment.
Matching with the environmental protection of other components: such as whether the door frame, hardware, etc. also use environmentally friendly materials.
Low-E (low-radiation) glass is a glass with a metal oxide film on the surface, which can effectively reflect infrared and ultraviolet rays, block the entry of outdoor heat energy, and retain visible light transmission. It not only improves living comfort, but also significantly reduces the energy consumption of air conditioning and heating. It is an important part of energy-saving buildings.
Laminated glass improves the safety and sound insulation of glass by sandwiching a layer of PVB film between two layers of glass. PVB material is recyclable, and once the laminated glass is broken, it will remain intact and will not scatter and cause harm. It is a preferred material that takes into account both environmental protection and safety.
Although tempered glass cannot be easily remelted and recycled like ordinary glass, some manufacturers have now achieved physical reuse of waste tempered glass, such as processing it into glass sand and using it for road paving. When purchasing, you can give priority to brands with a recycling system.
Ordinary glass may contain a certain amount of lead or other heavy metals, while environmentally friendly glass uses lead-free and low-iron components, which is safer and healthier, not only harmless to the human body, but also more environmentally friendly. Low-iron glass also has higher light transmittance and better visual transparency, suitable for use as indoor partitions or balcony doors.
An environmentally friendly glass door is not only about glass environmental protection, but also hardware accessories such as door frames, hinges, and sealing strips.
Aluminum alloy door frame: high-quality aluminum can be recycled repeatedly, strong and durable, lightweight and energy-saving. It is recommended to choose products with recycled aluminum certification.
