Do buildings often use ultra white glass?
In the bright light of the Louvre Pyramid and on the cloud curtain wall of the Shanghai center Building, a special glass material is rewriting the visual language of modern architecture - ultra white glass. Why can high-purity glass with an iron content of less than 0.015% become the darling of architectural masters?
The Transparent Aesthetics of Visual Revolution
The light green tone of ordinary glass comes from iron impurities, while the transmittance of ultra white glass is as high as 91.5%, almost completely eliminating color cast. The Beijing Palace Museum Cultural Relics Hospital uses ultra white glass display cabinets to present the colors of cultural relics realistically, reducing color difference by 70% compared to ordinary glass. This "invisible" feature gives the building a visual effect of "floating transparency".
Dual guarantee of safety and performance
The tempered strength of ultra white glass is 3-5 times that of ordinary glass. The giant dome of Shanghai Planetarium adopts a three-layer ultra white glass composite structure, which can maintain stability even in the face of typhoons. Its lower coefficient of thermal expansion allows the curtain wall of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to withstand a temperature difference of 50 ℃ between day and night without deformation.
Sustainable architectural wisdom
After the use of ultra white glass curtain walls in China Zun Building, the indoor lighting efficiency has been improved by 40%, and the lighting energy consumption has been reduced by 25%. Its recyclability is more in line with green building standards, and the recycling of ultra white glass per square meter can reduce 15kg of carbon emissions.
From the landscape of Suzhou Museum to the glass spiral staircase of Apple flagship store, ultra white glass is proving its ultimate purity: in the field of architecture, true luxury is not just about decorative stacking, but about letting the materials themselves tell the fusion of technology and aesthetics. When light passes through glass without impurities, even the air becomes more textured.
