What is the function of colored glass
source：www.mingyangglass.com | Release time：2025-11-05
The core function of colored glass is to regulate light and provide protection, while also serving as a decorative element. It can filter specific spectra, block harmful rays, or beautify the environment according to different scene requirements.
1. Light adjustment and visual comfort
Filter strong light: By absorbing or reflecting some visible light, reduce environmental brightness and avoid glare. For example, the brown glass on car windows can reduce the interference of direct sunlight on the driver's line of sight; The gray glass on the exterior walls of buildings can soften indoor lighting and alleviate visual fatigue.
Control color temperature: Glass of a specific color can adjust the color temperature of the light entering the space. Warm yellow glass can filter cool blue light, creating a warm atmosphere indoors, suitable for bedrooms, hotels, and other settings; Blue glass can create a cool feeling and is commonly used in swimming pools or summer shading areas.
2. Protection and safety functions
Blocking UV rays: Most colored glasses (such as those containing iron oxide and nickel oxide) can absorb UV rays, reducing their harm to human skin and protecting indoor furniture and fabrics from fading and aging. This type of glass is commonly found in residential windows, museum display cabinets, and car side windows.
Privacy protection: High transparency colorless glass cannot block the line of sight, while dark colored glass (such as black and dark brown) can achieve the effect of "visible inside and visible outside, difficult to see inside" by reducing the light transmittance. It is suitable for bathrooms, office partitions, or ground floor windows of buildings facing the street.
3. Decoration and Aesthetic Expression
Space beautification: adding visual highlights to buildings or products through the color scheme (such as red, green, blue) or gradient and pattern design of the glass itself. For example, the stained glass mosaic windows in churches can create a religious atmosphere; Colorful glass partitions in home decoration can divide space and enhance design sense.
4. Special functional applications
Energy saving and heat insulation: Some colored glass (such as Low-E colored coated glass) can block infrared rays while adjusting light, reducing outdoor heat entering the room (in summer) or indoor heat loss (in winter), and reducing air conditioning and heating energy consumption. It is commonly used in modern energy-saving buildings.
In the field of industry and technology: In optical instruments, colored glass can be used as a filter to screen specific wavelengths of light for photography, spectral analysis, etc; In the photovoltaic industry, certain colored glasses can improve the light absorption efficiency of solar panels.
