The safety of household items is increasingly valued by consumers, and the safety of shower room glass has become a major factor in purchasing shower rooms. In order to ensure the safety of shower room glass, many shower room manufacturers have made different strategies and measures, such as resolutely using high-quality glass raw sheets to ensure glass safety, using glass film to create safety glass, and also using double-layer tempered laminated glass. For non professional personnel who are unable to distinguish right from wrong in such situations, the following comparative analysis is made on the safety of shower room glass for sharing.

1. Ordinary tempered glass: low purity of the original glass, many internal stones in the glass, and a 3% chance of self explosion;.
2. High quality tempered glass: The original glass has high purity, and there are relatively few impurities inside the glass. In addition, advanced production processes, equipment, and testing methods effectively control and improve the safety of the glass, making its self explosion probability less than one in ten thousand or even lower.
3. Using film coated glass: Currently, more and more factories in the market are using film coating to solve glass safety problems. Film coating has low cost and simple process. It is effective if used on glass with metal profiles wrapped around it (see color picture). However, 90% of shower room glass is not wrapped or semi wrapped. If the glass breaks at this time, the safety function of the film is completely lost. Due to the poor aging and wear resistance of the film, it is not the safest process for shower room glass.
4. Double layer laminated glass: It is currently the highest level of glass technology on the market. Its advantage is that the double-layer tempered glass is sandwiched with a film in the middle, and the probability of both layers of tempered glass breaking at the same time is extremely low (single-layer broken shower rooms can continue to be used). Since both layers are broken at the same time, due to the force on both sides, the glass is not easy to fall and injure people. But its disadvantages are high process requirements (double-layer lamination requires hole size deviation), complex process, and high cost. If the cost factor is not taken into account, laminated glass is the safest glass technology for shower room. Laminated glass is also widely used in bulletproof glass, car windscreen, barrier glass in public places, glass walkway, curtain walls of high-end office buildings and other fields. How safe is laminated glass.
