The windows in bathrooms, kitchens and other spaces are generally relatively small, and most of them are single or double sashes. It is more troublesome to install curtains with such small-sized windows. They are easy to get dirty and inconvenient to use. Therefore, nowadays comes out with a very good design, which is insulated glass has built-in blinds. It can kindly solve the shortcomings of normal blinds, blackout curtains, etc..... which are difficult to clean.
How long is the service life of built-in blind glass?
The built-in service life of the blinds is more than 30 years. The number of times the built-in blinds can be extended and closed is about 60,000 times. If we use it 4 times a day, it can be used for 15,000 days or 41 years. This data shows that the built-in service life of the blinds is about 60,000 times. It is a very long service lifetime unless the glass has been vandalized.
The principle of built-in blinds combined with insulating glass is to install the aluminum louvre in the hollow cavity of the insulating glass, and realize the shrinking, unfolding and dimming functions of the built-in blinds. Its goal is to achieve the functions of natural lighting and a complete sunshade. Most buyers and sellers prioritize the view first while they are buying or selling windows. However, external sun visors and sunshades of the windows often block the view, which causes a negative impact. At this point, built-in blind glass is often the best choice since it is very effective in obtaining horizontal sightlines. This technology integrates exterior sun visors, insulating glass, and indoor curtains all into one, which has the effect of killing multiple birds with one stone.
Built-in blinds are considered as a kind of glass window. They are just different from ordinary glass windows in that their structure is double-layer tempered glass. Due to the structural difference, the advantages of built-in blinds are more obvious than ordinary glass such as mainly focusing on energy saving, sound insulation, fire prevention, pollution prevention, frost prevention and safety.
Energy saving is mainly reflected in the fact that closing the internal louvres can effectively block the sunlight and at the same time it can also play a certain heat insulation role, greatly reducing the energy consumption of indoor air conditioning. Under normal circumstances, it is suitable to close the louvers in the summer because it is relatively hot; if it is winter now, it is recommended to lift the louver blades in order to absorb sunlight and fully absorb the heat energy. In addition, the 20mm barrier of the hollow layer will keep the indoor temperature warm and greatly increase thereby achieving energy conservation and saving electricity bills.
The built-in blinds use double-layer tempered glass, so it can effectively reduce noise and achieve a certain sound insulation effect. Another advantage of using double-layer tempered glass is that it is safer. The tempered glass material has better resistance and it is not easy to break, so it is safer to use. In winter, glass windows often become icy and frosty. But it cannot be seen on the built-in blinds glass since it is good air-proof and water-proof. thereby isolating the phenomenon of moisture seepage and effectively avoiding the phenomenon of ice and frost on the door and window glass systems.
If the glass windows installed in your home are ordinary glass windows, it will be a disaster if a fire breaks out since the curtains will bear the brunt, curtains are easier to flammable. Once burned, they will release a lot of toxic gases, which can easily cause suffocation and casualties. On the other hand, if you install built-in blinds, they will not be burned by open flames, and they will not release thick smoke in a fire because the double-layer tempered glass and built-in aluminum-magnesium louvers can block the transmission of flames, which effectively reduces of the probability of fire.
The built-in blinds are inside the glass, and because they are inside the glass precisely, not outside the glass, they are dust-proof, oily smoke-proof, and pollution-proof. In fact, the internal louver blades do not need to be cleaned, which saves people’s time and effort during cleaning.
