Membrane structure and glass are still more common materials in architectural decoration, but the two have great similarities in efficacy. Therefore, membrane structure is usually compared with glass. So which of these two materials is more suitable for practical applications? Let SIGMA GROUP explain it to you! We hope to be helpful to everyone.
1. Weight comparison
In terms of weight, the specifications of the membrane structure are lighter and flexible. The membrane structure is suitable for narrow spaces and special corners, can be used in various spaces, has various shapes, and is convenient for construction. Secondly, its high-frequency sound insulation effect is better than glass.
2. Impact resistance
In fact, glass can easily break in strong winds and earthquakes. The same is true for tempered glass, but there is no problem with the membrane structure. Therefore, its strength is 250 times that of ordinary glass and 50 to 100 times that of tempered glass. Even if they walk on it, they won't get hurt.
3. Safety comparison
When glass is used as a building material, bonding methods are usually used. Combine two thin glasses into one thick glass. Since the adhesive is relatively fragile, prolonged exposure to wind and sunlight is dangerous. Therefore, from a safety point of view, we recommend using membrane structures as much as possible.
