U型玻璃作为新型墙体材料，其技术介绍到中国已有数年之久，但国内敢于开发利用这一项目的，并非出自东部沿海地区，也非出自国有大中型企业，而是一家位于山沟吧里的乡镇企业，这就是创安人的胆识。 

一种新型墙体材料Ｕ型玻璃最近受到广泛关注。一些建筑专家认为，Ｕ型玻璃代表了国际建筑材料最新潮流，能代替砖而且具有砖无可比拟的优势，在我国未来的建筑业发展中将显示出非常广阔的前景。 

所谓Ｕ型玻璃，是因其横切面像英文字母Ｕ而得名，也因外观与槽钢形状相似又称之为槽型玻璃。同一般玻璃相比，Ｕ型玻璃有较高的强度和硬度，能代替传统砖，又明显地比砖的档次要高。它具有节能、节材、

节约劳动力等特点，实际使用成本很低。Ｕ型玻璃是利用废旧玻璃和石英砂等材料制成的，目前产品的出厂成本价每平方米仅28.17元。分项计算，生产每平方米黏土砖的总能耗为56.6千克标煤，Ｕ型玻璃为14千

克标煤，节约能源75％。每平方米黏土砖和混凝土墙体材料平均重量为415.5千克，Ｕ型玻璃仅19千克。若使用Ｕ型玻璃，可减轻90％的墙体重量，节约大量的基础建材。Ｕ型玻璃的施工效率一般为砖砌墙的10倍。

综合下来，Ｕ型玻璃的造价只有玻璃幕墙的70％，与混凝土砌砖加粉刷贴面墙、黏土砖加粉刷墙、低质木质隔墙相近。

U-shaped glass as a new wall material, its technology has been introduced to China for several years, but the domestic dare to develop and use this project, not from the eastern coastal areas, nor from the state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises, but a township enterprise located in the gully bar, this is the courage of chuang 'an people.
A new type of wall material, U - shaped glass, has attracted much attention recently. Some architectural experts believe that u-shaped glass represents the latest trend of international building materials, which can replace bricks and has incomparable advantages. It will show a very broad prospect in the future development of China's construction industry.
The so - called U - shaped glass is named for its cross - section like the English letter U. Compare with general glass photograph, U model glass has higher intensity and hardness, can replace traditional brick, the class that compares brick apparently wants again tall. It has energy saving, material saving,
Saving labor and other characteristics, the actual cost of use is very low. U-shaped glass is made of waste glass, quartz sand and other materials. At present, the ex-factory cost of the product is only 28.17 yuan per square meter. Itemized calculation, the total energy consumption per square meter of clay brick production is 56.6 kilograms of standard coal, u-shaped glass is 14 thousand
Gram standard coal, save energy 75%. The average weight of clay bricks and concrete walling material per square metre is 415.5kg, while u-shaped glass weighs just 19kg. If U - shaped glass is used, 90% of the weight of the wall can be reduced and a lot of basic building materials can be saved. The construction efficiency of u-shaped glass is generally 10 times that of brick walls.
In general, the cost of u-shaped glass is only 70% of the glass curtain wall, which is similar to that of concrete brickwork plus whitewash wall, clay brick plus whitewash wall and low-quality wooden partition.
