Recently, the construction of the North Glass High-end Equipment Industrial Park has been smoothly progressing. The iconic project of the park—the "Super Glass" curtain wall of the North Glass R&D Center building—has been successfully installed on the wall. The super large, super thick, and super heavy glass resembles a giant silver mirror screen, neatly embedded in the center of the building, creating an extremely spectacular appearance. This batch of oversized glass, featuring one-way perspective and high reflectivity, makes the building stand out and shine brightly.
A total of 31 pieces of glass have been installed on the facade of the research and development center building. This includes 19 pieces on the south facade, each with a maximum height of 18.3 meters and a width of 3 meters. The building utilizes five layers of laminated insulated glass, with each piece weighing up to 8.8 tons. This installation achieves the most comprehensive innovation in terms of area coverage, coating sophistication, and the number of glass layers among existing landing projects in the industry. Additionally, there are 12 blocks on the north facade, each reaching a maximum height of 12 meters. The lobby entrance area is equipped with eight pieces of 8-layer thick glass ribs, each with a thickness of 126 millimeters. Complementing the curtain wall, a 20-meter-long and 6-meter-wide all-glass corridor bridge connects the building to the factory building.
Technological Innovations and Quality Assurance
With its world-leading glass deep processing technology, Beibo Glass continues to promote technological innovation, especially in addressing the control issues of wind and stress spots on ultra-large glass. Beibo Glass actively develops the latest tempering furnace technology, refining the glass heating zones, increasing temperature control distribution, and accurately controlling the heating of each piece of glass. Additionally, intelligent algorithms for round-trip speed during cooling have been implemented to ensure further improvement in the quality of glass tempering.
On the other hand, North Glass has also made breakthroughs in high-reflection bright silver coating and high-transparency dual silver Low-E energy-saving technology. The company has successfully achieved the research and development of a maximum 24-meter large unidirectional perspective coating product. By ensuring internal privacy while achieving high transparency, the lobby and office areas on the first floor of the R&D center building create an ultimate visual effect that is seamlessly integrated and mirror-like in appearance.
Project Milestones and Installation Techniques
The industrial park project is the second super-large glass project independently installed by North Glass, following the installation of 19-meter self-supporting folded-line structural glass at the Anji "Two Mountains" Future Science and Technology City Cultural and Art Center. During the installation process, North Glass employed innovative support structures. In addition to the glass rib support structure on the front facade, the company cleverly utilized bearing-type connections with spring supports in the areas containing floor slabs on both sides. This design effectively reduces panel deformation under wind loads in the later stages, offering better buffering and adaptive characteristics.
Connecting Architecture and Functionality
Beyond the impressive curtain wall, the North Glass R&D Center Building features a 20-meter-long and 6-meter-wide all-glass corridor bridge connecting the main building to the factory. This architectural element not only enhances the building's functionality but also complements the grandeur of the "Super Glass" facade, creating a harmonious blend of form and function.
