JC || Division 8: Doors & Windows Flashcards
A hard, brittle, chemically inert substance; produced by fusing silica together
Glass
Rigid, vapor proof thermal insulation
Foamed or cellular glass
Used in textiles and material reinforcement
Glass fibers
Used for acoustical and thermal insulation
Glass wool
Used to control light transmission, glare, solar radiation
Glass block
Type of glass which can be drawn glass or cylinder glass
Sheet or rolled glass
Type of glass formed by rolling molten glass into a plate; it provides virtually clear, undistorted vision
Plate glass
Type of glass made by poring molten glass onto molten tin surface; flat parallel surface glass
Float glass
Successor to plate glass
Float glass
Type of glass cooled slowly to relieve internal stress
Annealed glass
Annealed glass, partially tempered by reheating and sudden cooling
Heat strengthened glass
Annealed, reheated below softening point then rapidly cooled; breaks into harmless pebble-sized particles
Tempered glass
consists of two or more ties of flat glass; retains fragments when broken
Laminated or safety glass
Laminated glass; with exceptional tensile and impact strength
Security glass
Flat or patterned glass with square or diamond wire mesh within which prevents shattering
Wired glass
Glass with a linear or geometric surface pattern; obscures vision or diffuses light
Patterned glass
Glass with one or both sides acid-etched or sandblasted; obscures vision
Obscure glass
An opaque glass used to conceal structural elements in a curtain wall system
Spandrel glass
Glass consisting of two or more sheets of glass with a sealed air space to provide thermal insulation and restrict condensation
Insulating glass
Glass with a chemical admixture that absorbs a portion of radiant heat and visible light
Tinted or heat-absorbing glass
Glass with a thin, translucent metallic coating that reflects light and radiant heat
reflective glass
Glass that transmits visible light while reflecting wavelengths of radiant heat by low-e coating either on glass itself or over a transparent plastic film
low-emissivity (low-e) glass
Metal products used in construction such as bolts, nails, screws, fittings and tools
hardware
Hardware meant to be concealed: bolts, nails, screws
rough hardware
