Tempered glass: Suitable for low-rise office buildings (building height ≤ 50 meters). Its advantages include affordability, excellent light transmission, and high strength, making it well-suited for basic decorative applications. However, when broken, it tends to shatter into sharp fragments that can scatter, posing a risk of falling from heights; therefore, it is only appropriate for non-core areas.
Laminated glass: the preferred choice for office buildings, especially high-rise structures (≥100 meters). It uses PVB interlayer film, which prevents glass fragments from falling off upon breakage, eliminating the risk of objects dropping from height. Additionally, it can be combined with Low-E coating to achieve thermal and acoustic insulation, fully complying with engineering safety standards.
Conclusion: For high-rise office buildings, laminated glass should be prioritized to ensure safety; for low-rise office buildings, tempered glass is a suitable choice that balances cost and basic functional requirements.
