Glass NGP Section 20

The discovery of glassware in ancient

Mesopotamia has been dated to approximately

7000 years old. The use of glass as a building

material dates back to ancient Rome, about 30BC

to 345AD. The early methods of manufacture

was through blowing the glass into shape.

This technique produced low quality small sized

sheets mainly for use in win dows. This method

was used well into the seven teenth century.

float glass manufacture

The twentieth century saw improvements in the method of glass manufacture through better optical quality and larger panels. Nevertheless, these improvements still produced glass with slightly uneven or distorted surfaces. In order to improve the optical qualities, both surfaces were sometimes required to be ground and polished to achieve greater flatness and no distortion.

In 1952, Pilkington Glass invented the Float Process which revolutionised glass manufacture. The process ensured high optical quality, flatness and no distortion (see Diagram 20.1). The float process begins with the mixing of raw materials through the batch house (1). The raw materials are then fed into a melting furnace (2) where they are heated to around 1700C. The molten glass mixture then flows into a bath filled with molten or liquid tin (3). The molten glass floats on top of the tin in the float bath. The temperature now decreases to around 1100C and the hardening glass floats out of the tin bath into the annealing chamber (4) until the temperature falls to around 700C. From the annealing chamber the glass is then cut (5) into the required sheet sizes.

Due to the flat surface of the liquid tin, the float process creates exceptionally flat glass sheets, absolutely free from distortion. The float line process is a 24 hour a day non-stop operation. A float line can be operated continuously for periods of around 10 years without repair or refit.

diagram 20.2: glass shapes breakage patterns

annealed float glass

Annealed float glass does not resist high stresses from the impact of an object. When broken, it shatters into large sharp pieces.

laminated safety glass

Laminated safety glass has the about the same impact strength resistance as that of annealed float glass (e.g. 6mm = 6.38mm). If broken, glass remains intact on its PVB interlayer and shards do not fly out. Because of its high resistance to penetration, laminated glass is very safe and can be used in a wide variety of applications.

heat strengthened glass

Heat strengthened glass is about twice as strong as annealed float glass and is used generally as a protection against thermal breakage. It is not a Grade A Safety Glass.

toughened safety glass

Toughened safety glass is up to five times stronger than annealed float glass and offers the highest resistance to impact. It is ideal for applications in doors, shower screens etc. If broken, the whole panel of glass shatters into small pieces of blunt granules which are relatively safe. Additionally, the shattered glass falls out quite easily.

thermal breakage

Thermal breakage occurs where annealed glass breaks due to excessive temperature differences between the centre and the edges of the glass. In this situation while the centre of the glass starts to warm and expand, the edges remain cool thus restricting the expansion, resulting in breakage.

Wired, tinted, reflective, low-E coated glass and IGUs are most susceptible to thermal breakage. Toughening or heat strengthening will prevent thermal breakage. It is recom mended that a thermal assessment be carried out to determine the level of stress and/or the possibility of breakage.

Consult our technical staff for more information.

factors influencing thermal breakage

climate

Consideration should be given to minimum and maximum daytime temperature differences. Breakages can occur, for example with morning temperature rises where the glass can heat up quickly while the edges remain cool.

edge quality

Annealed glass edges should be clean cut with minimal defects. Thermally suspect laminated glass should have edges flat ground.

panel size and thickness

The chances of thermal breakage increase as the area of glass and thickness increases because of potential cutting, glazing and handling problems. Any damage introduced to the edge at these stages can impact adversely on the thermal safety of the panel.

edge cover

The chance of breakage increases with edge cover over 40mm.

glazing material

Dark coloured materials will promote fewer edge temperature differences than light coloured frames. Concrete and wood have a higher thermal breakage factor than metal or plastic frames.

external shading devices

External shading devices, building overhangs and mullion or column depth which may cast unfavourable shadows will increase the possibility of breakage.

internal shading and back-up material

Confined spaces can create excessive heat build up. Light coloured blinds or venetians which reflect heat have a higher thermal breakage factor than dark coloured ones. If there is a gap of 50mm or more around the perimeter of the internal shading device, the glass is considered ventilated and a lower breakage factor is applied. In confined spaces such as spandrel glass applications, the glass may be exposed to temperatures as high as 70C.

* Laminated glass can also be glazed as the outboard lite.

126

cooling and heating sources

Direct air streams from these sources onto the glass surface can create excessive temperature differences with resultant breakages.

IGUs or double glass units

Multiple panel glazing creates higher thermal stress on the outside pane. Thus in certain situations, this pane may have to be heat strengthened or toughened.

film application

Application of film products, paper, posters or paint will increase the possibility of thermal breakage.

glass surface damage1

For hundreds of years, the lustrous, hard and inert characteristics of glass, coupled with its transparency, have made it one of the worlds most desirable and used building materials. Glass has been used in the construction industry for many years on thousands of projects involving billions of square metres of glass.

No glass by itself, exudes, leaches or bleeds any residue or stain causing materials.

water damage

Location of water sprinklers in relation to glass surfaces should be considered early in design. Direct or wind blown hard water spray from water sprinklers can produce tenaciously bonded inorganic residues on glass surfaces. If spraying is repeated and/or wet, dry spray cycles are permitted to remain in contact with glass surfaces, for even short periods of time, costly cleaning procedures may be required. Extended periods of cyclic water spray without frequent cleaning of glass may allow residue build up to develop which cannot be removed. Glass replacement may be the only practical remedy.

runoff and glass damage

When water reaches a building, it is either reflected, absorbed into the building materials, or allowed to run down the faade. When this water is permitted to run down over masonry, sealants etc., and onto the glass, the water can carry with it con taminants that may react with and adhere with the glass surface. These contaminates could lead to a residue or staining that cannot be removed, which will permanently damage the glass surface.

Glass may be damaged, etched or stained by a number of materials typically used at a job site. Surface damage may be caused by weld splatter and wind blown debris. Alkaline materials such as concrete wash off and certain cleaning agents may chemically attack the glass surfaces. Rust (iron oxide) will not usually deteriorate the glass surface, but may be very difficult to remove. Silicone concrete sealing materials can discolour glass surfaces. It is good practice to protect glass surfaces whenever practical during construction of the building. Special attention should be paid to reflective glass. These are not any more susceptible to damage than uncoated glass. However, scratches and other damage on the coating are more noticeable. 2

sealants

Organic sealants used in todays glazing systems may exude, bleed or leach solvents, oils and/or plasticisers etc., under normal weathering conditions. Depending on the type of sealant used and the weathering conditions encountered, residue from sealants can vary dramatically in content, degree and the time period over which the residue continues to exude from the sealant. Generally, the degree of residue from sealants will diminish asymptotically over time. In the great majority of projects, frequent cleaning of glass will remove deposits or residue using normal wash and rinse glass cleaning methods.

When residue from sealants is allowed to remain in contact with glass surfaces over a long period of time without frequent washing of the glass, the residue may become tenaciously bonded to the surface of the glass due to normal weathering. If the residue is permitted to have a long residence time, very costly cleaning techniques may be required to remove the residue from glass surfaces.

Due to exuding, leaching or bleeding, sealants need not necessarily be in direct contact with glass to produce a residue on glass. If sealants are used in areas surrounding the glass i.e. in metal expansion joints, parapet sealing, metal or masonry weatherseals etc., residue from these sealants may still run down and deposit on the glass surfaces either by gravity or through the action of rain.

metals

Weathering steels, for example, release oxides while aging. These oxide deposits should be removed from glass by regular cleaning methods initiated during construction. If the metal oxides are permitted to wash over glass and are permitted to accumulate, they can leave a deposit that is tenaciously adhered, requiring costly cleaning techniques to remove the residue from the glass surface.

masonry

Staining (and in some cases, etching) of glass can result from substances released from concrete facades and concrete window frames. Rainfall can permeate concrete and then leach alkaline materials from it and deposit them on the glass. In some instances this may cause surface staining and etching.

Concrete frames at window heads should be designed so that any runoff is directed away from the glass. Edge drips and a second drip, as another line of defence, should be provided. Precast panels and all other concrete for outdoor walls should be processed for thorough mixing, full hydration and complete curing. Concrete surface treatments (with acid, sandblasting, grouting, waterproofing etc.) must be completed before glazing begins. Any loose particles resulting from these operations should be removed by normal wash, rinse and dry cleaning.

It is essential that these surface treatments be completed prior to glazing. Glass should be examined weekly during construction when it is installed adjacent to or below concrete or other masonry surfaces which are exposed to weather. When inspections reveals dirt, scum, alkali deposits or staining, glass should be immediately washed.

design recommendations

Early in the design stage, architects should consider glazing details designed to avoid water run-off onto glass surfaces. The use of reveals, splays, flashing, drips etc. from sealants, masonry or metals can minimize run-off and avoid the deposition of residue onto the glass.

restoring surface damage

Depending on the level of glass surface damage, there are a few restoring agents available. Prod ucts such as Calc-Off and Renotec can remove mineral deposits, hard stains, rainbow stains etc. These products renovate and protect the glass in a single application (Diagram 20.4 illustrates how restoring agents work).

0 A glass surface is not flat. Pollution will collect in the open pores and is normally very difficult to remove (1);

0 During the restoration with Calc-Off, the struc ture of the glass surface will be altered. The tops of the glass will be flattened out and pores are cleaned and filled with a protective coating up. This is possi ble through Calc-Offs special chemical struc ture. During this process all existing pollution will be removed from the surface of the glass (2);

0 The result is a flat glass surface, free from pol lution. The surface now has very low friction. This makes it very difficult for pollution to stick to the surface. In addition, a silicone based protecting layer has been added to the surface, making fu ture cleaning easier, cheaper and faster. Clean ing will also be required less frequently. Storage problems like fungus, stains, rainbow-stains will be avoided after application (3).

For instructions on protection and cleaning of low-E coated surfaces (Reflective, Sungate 500, Sunergy) and mirror, refer to the relevant section in this catalogue.

protection

films

Since National Glass has been manufacturing toughened glass, this product has been supplied with a clear semi-bonding film applied to both sides. This was done to protect toughened glass, as a value added product, during handling and transportation. Over time, customers have seized an opportunity to leave this film in situ as a site protection measure, often for long periods.

National Glass supplies plastic film coated glass on the following basis:

0 It should be removed within the manufacturers recommended time frame. This time frame is generally within one month of glazing and exposure to sunlight;

0 If used onsite, no responsibility is taken for (1) the effects of damage to glass surface as a result of partial or full removal of the film by wind and/or rain and (2) staining that may occur as a result and (3) other contaminants that may leach between the glass and film.

screens

Temporary screens may be required if other trades (i.e. welding, sand blasting, floor sanding and cut ting) are in progress near to the glass to protect it from damaging off spray and particles.

storage

When storing glass, it should be leaned against a structural frame with full vertical and horizontal support. The angle of lean should be approxi mately 7 from the vertical. Paper should be placed between the sheets to prevent rubbing or scratching during storage or trans port. If the glass is wet, the panels should be removed and dried and paper interleaved with butcher paper.

cleaning*

When cleaning glass use only soft, clean cloths, free from grit with a mild soap, detergent or recommended glass cleaner solution. This is to avoid any scratching or marking of the surface. Excess cleaning solution should be removed with squeegee and clean water immediately. Never use abrasive cleaners on glass, otherwise the result is scratching. When using tapes or adhesives, make sure they can be easily removed with a clean gem blade or scraper and will not stain the glass. When paint spots appear on the glass, they can be removed with a gem blade or scraper in con junction with glass cleaner.

Extra care should be taken with coated or reflective glass. Abrasive cleaners or metal cleaning implements will scratch coated surfaces. Fingerprints and dirt will be more noticeable on reflective glass and requires more frequent cleaning. On construction sites extra care will be required because of the contaminants in the air and/or concrete run off. If any staining is noticed, the glass should be cleaned immediately and protected against further staining. Certain stains may not be readily removed with standard cleaners and may require specialist treatment.

glass performance data

calculating the glass performance data window 6.3

Window 6.3 is an MS-Window based software-modelling program used to determine the optical and thermal performance properties of glass and windows. The program was developed by LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory USA). This program contains the International Glass Database (IGDB), which is an extensive collection of glazing products from around the world. This version of Window supersedes the earlier versions, Window 4.1 and Window 5.2.

It is available to download from the internet at: http://windows.lbl.gov/software/window/window.html .

NFRC 100-2001

A National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRCUSA) document specifying the environmental conditions, (i.e. wind speeds, internal and external temperatures, solar radiation levels and heat transfer coefficients); and procedure used to determine the performance characteristics of a glazing. The Australian glass and glazing industry has adopted the NFRC 100-2010 methodology.

The NFRC is a non-profit organisation that administers the only uniform, independent rating and labelling system for the energy performance of windows, doors, skylights, and attachment products in the United States. One of their main functions is to establish uniform procedures for determining the various energy performance ratings of glazing materials.

Different environmental conditions, eg. European, alter the parameters used in the calculation of glass performance data, resulting in different values. Care should be taken when comparing performance figures to ensure they are calculated using the same environmental conditions.

130

definitions of performance values

solar control

The energy emitted from our Sun is referred to as solar energy or solar radiation. Solar control makes reference to the ability of glass to control or reduce the suns direct heat energy on a window. Solar control also refers to the ability of a glass to reduce visible light and UV transmittance.

Look for the following performance values to measure solar control:

0 Solar heat gain co-efficient (SHGC);

0 Visible light transmittance;

0 UV transmission.

thermal control

The Suns direct transmission on the glass is not the only way in which heat is transferred. Heat is also transferred by method of re-radiation, conduction and convection. Thermal control refers to the ability of a glazing to resist heat transfer through these three methods. (Similar to the functional performance of batt or insulation foil for walls and ceilings).

Adding an additional pane of glass (IGU) and modifying the surface of the glass with a low-E coating will improve the insulation properties of the glass when compared to ordinary non coated glass. These thermal or insulation improvements work day and night in both summer and winter conditions, reducing heat entry and heat loss. Only low-E coated glass and IGUs can provide improved thermal control.

See also U-value.

visible light transmittance VLT

This term is used to describe the percentage level of interior daylight that a particular glass lets through. The higher the number the brighter the interior will be.

visible light external reflectance VLR

This refers to the percentage level of visible light that is reflected externally by a glass as detected by the human eye. This is a useful measure for glass where:

0 restrictions exist on the level of reflection allowed;

0 the higher the percentage number the greater the mirror like appearance.

visible light internal reflectance VLRi

This refers to the percentage level of visible light that is reflected internally by a glass as detected by the human eye. This is a useful measure when determining the level of internal reflectance at night time. All glass products (apart from specialty anti-reflecting products such as Amiran or Luxar) have internal reflectances which make it difficult to see clearly out of a window at night time (with lights on inside) conditions. Internal reflectances increase with the use of reflective coated glass products.

solar heat gain co-efficient SHGC

Refers to the total amount of solar energy transmittance entering a building through the glazing as heat gain. This measure equates to the Suns direct transmittance energy (T) plus the part of this energy absorbed by the glass and re-radiated inside (E) (see Diagram 15.2, page 103). The lower the number the less heat gain. Its most commonly used in regards to the cooling of the building. SHGC can also be calculated as 86% of the Shading Co-efficient. 3mm clear float for example, has a SHGC of 0.86.

The SHGC can also be stated in the fol lowing ways:

0 3mm clear lets in 86% of the suns total direct heat;

0 3mm clear keeps out only 14% of the suns total direct heat.

Another way to describe how the SHGC is used is in terms of energy consumption in watts/m2.

For example the suns direct energy typically radiates on a hot day 785 watts per m2 and 6mm Sunergy Green has a SHGC of 0.42. If you multiply 785 watts x 0.42 (SHGC) you get 329 watts per m2 radiated into the building. In this example the Sunergy glass is reducing the suns direct energy through the glass into the building by 58%.

SHGC has a trade-off relationship with visible light trans-mittance. In general, the lower the SHGC, the lower the levels of visible light which will be transmitted. This can in some instances affect the amount of artificial lighting needed and the interior brightness of a room. SHGC is sometimes also referred to as the solar factor (SF).

shading co-efficient

This term indicates the total amount of solar energy that passes through a glass as compared to 3mm clear float (3mm clear float has a base factor of 1.00). The lower the shading co-efficient value, the lower the level of heat entry into a room or interior.

131

UV transmission

This refers to the percentage of the suns harmful ultra violet light (UV) that is transmit ted through glass. Ultra violet light aids in fading and damaging furniture, carpets etc and can be harmful to people. It is most com monly measured in the 300400nm wave length range.

U-value

U-value measures the rate of heat flow through the glazing by conduction, convection and re-radia tion. It does not measure heat transfer by the Suns direct transmittance as measured by the SHGC. It is a rating system used almost exclusively by the window/glass industry worldwide. Other industries use the R value for measuring insulation. U-value is measured in watts per square metre per degree Celsius (Wm2K) difference. The amount of heat energy transferred as measured by the U-value can be calculated by taking for example 4mm clear float with a U-value of 5.9w/m2C and multiplying the difference between outdoor and indoor temperature (32C outside and 24C inside = 8C) > 5.9 x 8C = 47watts per m2 heat transferred between the outside and inside. The lower the U-value the better the thermal insula tion properties of the glazing system.

The U-value is the reciprocal of the R value and either can be calculated from the other e.g. U = 1/R or R = 1/U.

U and R values are variable and dependent upon climatic conditions. That means that the transmit tance of heat through a glazing system changes. Therefore glass transmits heat at varying rates depending upon the prevailing climatic condition. When comparing glazing systems based upon U-value, it is important that the climatic conditions used to model all the systems are the same. The standard climate conditions used to calculate U-values in this catalogue are based upon NFRC 100 2001 methodology.

relative heat gain RHG W/m2

Relative heat gain combines the shading co-efficient with U-value to measure the total heat gain for summer time conditions. This is particularly useful for building designers to determine air-conditioning loads.

The formula is:

SC (Shading co-efficient) x W/m2 (Direct solar intensity)

plus

U-value W/m2 (Summer U-value) x 8C (Difference between outdoor and indoor temperature)

The conditions formulated to determine the RHG are by ASHRAE (American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers).

See also page 104.

spectral selectivity

Spectrally selective glazing is generic terminology for window glass that per mits some portions of the solar spectrum to enter a building while blocking others. This high performance glazing admits as much daylight as possible while preventing transmission of as much solar heat as possible. By controlling solar heat gains in summer, preventing heat loss of interior heat in winter, and allowing occupants to reduce electric lighting use by making maximum use of daylight, spectrally selective glazing significantly reduces building energy con sumption and peak demand.

LSG ratio

Refers to the light-to-solar heat gain ratio and is calculated by the visible light transmission (VLT) divided by SHGC. (The LSG ratio is sometimes also referred to as the Luminous Efficacy or Cool ness Factor) which is calculated by the VLT divided by the shading co-efficient not the SHGC).

The LSG ratio assists commercial and to a de gree residential building designers to calculate building energy efficiency. However, LSG ratios on their own can be misleading. The primary driver for building energy efficiency is a fast pay back of costs associated with implementation of energy efficient measures and on-going lower energy costs. Low energy costs are achieved through windows that have low SHGC (to control suns direct solar heat), high visible light transmittance (VLT) and high levels of thermal insula tion for both summer heat gain and winter heat loss (as measured by low U-value numbers). These three performance values, SHGC, VLT and U-value have the biggest impact on energy efficient glazing. The LSG ratio should also be used in conjunction with occupant comfort factors such as glare, UV and noise control. LSG ratios are used to determine whether a glazing is spectrally selective.
