*Global Construction Glass Market: Outline*

Ever since glass was first made, glass is a fascinating element for us. In the construction industry, it is one of the oldest and multipurpose materials.

Its role is changing from luxurious houses as window pane to advanced structural members in modern constructions to give the aesthetic look to the building.

Construction glass is among the most commonly used building materials because of its wide range of properties. In the next few years, growth in the construction industry worldwide is expected to drive the construction glass market.

Construction Glass Market Types and Application

For the construction materials such as polycarbonate, wood and concrete glass is a commercial substitute as glass enhances the intensity of the building’s natural light.

The key factors of glass which are expected to boost the demand for building glass industry are quality, safety and environmental sustainability.

By optimizing natural daylight for commercial structures, architects are using natural environmental influences in the interior of buildings in addition to residential uses.

Properties of Glass used in Construction Glass Market

Glass has various physical and chemical properties like it is resistant to electricity, chemicals, can mold flexibly, and remains unaffected to climate change.

Advancements in technology has allowed construction glass to be lighter and stronger. The economic factor of glass also makes it a better alternative relative to building materials.

Other properties include:

This property helps the external world to be visually connected. Clear glass panels used in buildings may be turned invisible with the advent of technology (Electro chromatic glazing).

With the advancement of technology, its ability to withstand deformation under load may be improved by some laminates and admixtures.

The U-value is the indicator of how much heat the glass transmits. Lower U-value, indicates better insulation properties.

Types of glass used in construction of various infrastructure includes

> Float Glass: It is produced by annealing the molten glass. It is also known as soda lime or clear glass. Its weight varies from 6–26 kg/m2 and thickness range is 2mm to 20mm. It is being used in the manufacture of canopies, store fronts, glass blocks, partitions for railings, etc.

> Tinted glass: Without the use of additives to the glass batch mix, color can be added to the transparent glass. Iron oxide is used to give a green color to the glass; Sulphur can turn the glass red, black or yellow, at different concentrations.

>Glass wool: It is a thermal insulation consisting of entangled and flexible fiber of glass that allows air to be “package” and thus provides strong insulating materials. Glass wool is used in buildings as filler or insulators, often for soundproofing

>Laminated Glass: Sandwiching glass panels inside a protective coating makes laminated glass. It is heavier than standard glass and can also cause optical distortions. It is tough and protects against UV radiation and isolates sound.

Used in aquariums, glass facades, staircases, bridges, slabs of floors, and so on.

> Extra clean glass: This is hydrophilic, glass. Without leaving any traces, the water flows through them and they are coated with nanoparticles that strike and break dirt, i.e. photocatalytic, making them easy to maintain and clean.

> Chromatic glass: There are three type of Chromatic glass which are used to control daylight and transparency.

* photochromatic (light sensitive),

* thermochromatic (heat sensitive) and

* electrochromatic (light sensitive glass controlled by electricity)

> Shatterproof Glass: Shatter proof glass is made by adding a polyvinyl butyral layer. It is used in flooring, window and skylight, etc.

> Toughened Glass: It is used to make fire resistant doors. Thickness and weight varies from 2 mm to 20mm and 6–26 kg/m2 respectively.

As scientists find new applications for glass, the adaptability of glass continues to increase. Glass is now used in the construction industry as structural component, insulation material, cladding material, external glazing material.

Glass is constantly undergoing transformation with the advent of green technology in construction. Some of the latest applications of glass are switchable glass projector displays and solar power glass.

The growth of the construction glass market is expected to complement the increasing demand for energy-saving products for infrastructure and construction projects in both developed and developing countries.

Existing infrastructure upgrading and modernization or remodeling activities are also anticipated to enhance building glass industry growth in near future.
