Glass combination:Raw materials replacement from international brands to local brands.International brands means high quality and of course high price.Saflex Vanceva colorful PVB is 4-5 times than that of China local brands,why cannot we change to to cheaper ones under the same 5 years warranty time?
Laminated insulated glass
saved costs are based on keep high quality and warranty time.Some processors choose to use inferior raw materials,for example poor quality float glass,non-standard interlayer thickness,decreased secondary sealant depth for insulating glass to decrease glass overall costs.This will harm the reputation and affect your facade quality.
Evaluate glass processing difficulty to avoid possible problem.
Some architects are not familiar with glass processing technology and sometimes have unreasonable requirement on glass combination.For example,Japanese architects insist on non tempered laminated glass for glass fin, and require heat soak test for all toughened glass.These unreasonable requirement made glass processors hard to process and sometimes it’s difficult to find a glass factory that can process the special glass .

Morn was involved in some projects designed by Japanese Architects.
Facade glass: 8 Triple silver low-E tempered heat soaked +11.52mm heat soaked laminated insulating glass.
All shaped glass with notches, length varies from 1000-8500mm.
Mistake 1: Oversized glass require thicker glass.Glass length over 5000mm should be at least 8mm.
Mistake 2: Low iron Triple silver low-E coating is delicate: Mixed sizes,shaped glass,notches,heat soak process,all these process prolong the time coating exposing in the air,the notches need water jet cutting also brings difficulty.
Mistake 3: FT +FT, HS+HS,FT+HS, 12A,16A,mixed combinations,mixed lengths,mixed thickness,this will decrease glass processing efficiency significantly and easy to make mistake during processing.

Glass Fin：15+1.52PVB+15+1.52PVB+15 non tempered laminated glass with holes,Max size up to 13500mm.
Mistake 1: Non tempered glass strength is low,easy to break during process.
Mistake 2: Non tempered glass has low temperature resistance,when taking glass out of autoclave,the temperature decrease will easily cause glass breakage.
Mistake 3: Non tempered laminated glass final costs is 2-3 times that of tempered laminated glass because of extremely low finished glass ratio.
All these problems increased many times processing difficulty,cause several times higher costs,most important is,there’s almost no factories dare to take the risk accepting the orders and process.
