Tempered glass has become one of the commonly used materials in modern furniture. Relatively speaking, tempered glass has the advantages of wear resistance and easy cleaning, coupled with a smooth and delicate glass surface, which is highly popular among the public. But if it is not well maintained during use, tempered glass furniture cannot maintain its original brightness.

In rooms with smaller living areas, tempered glass furniture is more suitable because the transparency of glass can reduce the sense of oppression in the space. In the past, people always believed that tempered glass furniture made people feel insecure. Nowadays, glass materials, especially those used for home decoration, have not only broken down in thickness and transparency, making glass furniture both reliable and practical, but also injecting artistic effects into the production, making glass furniture not only practical but also decorative and beautifying the living room.

When heating flat glass to near its softening point, rapid cooling occurs on the surface of the glass to distribute compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress in the central layer. Due to the strong and equal compressive stress, the tensile stress generated by external pressure is offset by the strong compressive stress of the glass, increasing the safety of glass use. The strength of reinforced glass is about 5 times that of ordinary glass. When glass is damaged by external forces, it becomes particles larger than beans, reducing harm to the human body. Can withstand rapid temperature changes (e.g. 5mm tempered glass, capable of withstanding temperature changes within a range of approximately 200 degrees).

Do not forcefully collide with the glass surface during normal times. To prevent scratches on the glass surface, it is better to lay a tablecloth. When placing things on glass furniture, handle them gently and avoid collisions. During daily cleaning, simply wipe with a damp towel or newspaper. In case of stains, use a towel dipped in beer or warm vinegar to remove them. Alternatively, use glass cleaning agents available on the market. Avoid using solutions with strong acidity or alkalinity for cleaning. In winter, the glass surface is easy to frost, so it can be wiped with a cloth dipped in strong salt water or Baijiu with good effect. Once the patterned frosted glass gets dirty, you can use a toothbrush dipped in cleaning agent to wipe it in circles along the pattern to remove it.

Glass furniture is better placed in a relatively fixed place and should not be moved back and forth casually; To place objects steadily, heavy objects should be placed at the bottom of glass furniture to prevent the furniture from tipping over due to unstable center of gravity. In addition, it is necessary to avoid moisture, stay away from stoves, and isolate from chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis to prevent corrosion and deterioration. In addition, you can also drop some kerosene on the glass or apply chalk ash and gypsum powder dipped in water on the glass to dry, and then wipe it with a clean cloth or cotton, so that the glass is both clean and bright.
