What Affects the Tempered Glass Products Price

New research shows that quality, size, and market demand are key factors that influence the pricing of tempered glass. The study takes a deep dive into the trends behind the pricing of this popular material, offering insights that could prove to be valuable to industry leaders.

 

 

aluminium composite panels, also called reinforced glass, toughened glass, strengthened glass, is a specially treated glass that creates compressive stress on the surface of the glass through chemical or physical methods, thereby improving its strength and safety. ‌ The strength of tempered glass is several times higher than that of ordinary glass, and it has better bending and impact resistance. Its safety has also been significantly improved. Even if it is broken, it will form small fragments without sharp angles, greatly reducing the risk of harm to the human body.

 

Tempered Glass is widely used in various industries like appliances, electronics, furnitures,construction, automobile, etc due to its uqniur advantages, like high strength, safety feature, scratch and wear resistance,etc. while when we are purchasing tempered glass products, we can find the price of same tempered glass products from different suppliers may have huge difference. and today we are going to discuss some factors which may affect tempered glass products prices. 

 

Factors Affecting Tempered Glass Price: 

 

The main factors affecting the price of tempered glass include raw material costs, production process costs, transportation and logistics costs, market demand, thickness and size, special application requirements, etc. ‌

 

--1. Raw Material Cost

The main raw material of tempered glass is ordinary float glass, and its price usually ranges from 50 yuan to 100 yuan per square meter. The specific price of ordinary float glass sheets depends on the thickness and quality. In addition, chemicals and additives are required to make tempered glass, which cost about 10 yuan to 30 yuan per square meter.

 

--2. Production process costs

 

In the production process of tempered glass, high-temperature heating and rapid cooling are the key steps. This cost accounts for about 20% to 30% of the total cost of tempered glass products, and is about 30 to 50 yuan per square meter. Labor costs vary by region. Usually the labor cost per square meter of tempered glass in China is about 10 yuan to 20 yuan.

 

--3. Shipping and logistics costs

 

Transportation costs account for a large share of the price structure of tempered glass. Because tempered glass is fragile, it requires special packaging and transportation methods. Domestic transportation costs usually range from 20 yuan to 50 yuan per square meter, and international transportation costs may be as high as 100 yuan to 200 yuan per square meter.

 

--4. market demand

 

Market demand is an important factor affecting the price of tempered glass. When the supply of glass exceeds demand in the market, prices tend to fall. Fluctuations in the economic cycle will also affect glass prices. During economic downturns, demand from major consumer industries such as the construction industry and automobile manufacturing industry decreases, causing glass prices to fall.

 

--5. Thickness and size

The thickness of tempered glass directly affects its price. Generally, the price of 5mm thick tempered glass is lower, about 150 yuan to 250 yuan per square meter; while the price of 10mm and 12mm tempered glass is between 300 yuan and 450 yuan; the thickness of 15mm or above increases due to the difficulty of processing. The price may reach more than 500 yuan‌ per square meter. In addition, special size or special-shaped tempered glass requires additional processing costs, which generally increase the cost by 50 yuan to 200 yuan per square meter.

 

--6. Special application requirements

Some special applications, such as building curtain walls and high-rise buildings, have higher requirements for tempered glass. Such projects may require special support and installation materials, and these additional costs may add up to RMB 50 to RMB 100 per square meter.

 

Applications of Tempered Glass: 

 

Tempered glass is widely used in many fields such as construction, transportation, and home appliances. ‌ In terms of construction, tempered glass is used in high-rise building doors and windows, glass curtain walls, indoor partition glass, lighting ceilings, sightseeing elevator passages, etc. In terms of transportation, tempered glass is used in places such as car windows that require impact resistance. In terms of home appliances, tempered glass is used in places where heat resistance is required, such as electrical panels.

 

—1. High-rise building doors and windows‌:

Tempered glass is often used in windows of high-rise buildings due to its high strength and impact resistance, providing better security.

 

—2. Glass Curtain Wall‌:

The weather resistance and safety of tempered glass make it a common curtain wall material in modern buildings.

 

—3. Interior Partition Glass‌:

Tempered glass is used for interior partitions, providing good transparency and safety.

 

—4. ‌Lighting Ceiling‌:

The light transmittance and weather resistance of tempered glass make it an ideal material for lighting ceilings.

 

—5. Sightseeing elevator passage‌:

Tempered glass is used in the sightseeing elevator passage to provide transparency and safety.

 

—6. Furniture‌:

Tempered glass is used to make glass dining tables, glass tea table, glass bedside table, glass cabinets and other furniture, adding modernity and durability.

 

—7. Car Windows‌:

Tempered glass is used for car side windows and rear windows to provide safety protection.

 

—8. Electrical appliance panel‌:

Tempered glass is used for control panels of ‌microwave ovens, ‌oven and other appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, etc. It is high temperature resistant and easy to clean.
