1. Thermal Insulation
The primary function of insulated glass is to reduce heat transfer between the indoor and outdoor environments. The air gap or gas-filled space (such as argon or krypton gas) between the glass layers acts as an insulator, helping to maintain indoor temperatures, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling. This feature is particularly useful in climates with extreme weather.
2. Energy Efficiency
Insulated glass can help lower heating and cooling costs. By minimizing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, IGUs can contribute significantly to energy efficiency. Many modern units are made with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, further improving thermal performance by reflecting heat while allowing natural light to enter.
3. Noise Reduction
The multiple layers of glass and the air or gas gap between them help to reduce noise transmission. Insulated glass is often used in buildings near busy roads or airports, as it can effectively dampen sound and improve indoor acoustics.
4. Condensation Prevention
Insulated glass helps to reduce condensation on the interior surfaces of windows. The warm interior surface of the glass remains at a higher temperature compared to single-pane windows, making it less likely for moisture to form.
5. UV Protection
IGUs with Low-E coatings can filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This helps protect interior furnishings, flooring, and artwork from fading due to prolonged exposure to sunlight.
6. Increased Comfort
By providing a consistent indoor temperature and reducing drafts, insulated glass makes a home or building more comfortable. The insulation also helps in creating a more stable indoor environment.
7. Certificates
Suitable for use as a safety glass as defined by consumer product safety association 16CFR 1201, ansiz 97.1 1984 and BS6262.
Conforms to CCC, AS/NZS2208-1996, EN12150-1, and ASTM C1048. All work done on glass (beveling, cutting, bending, etc) must be done before tempering.
Windows and Doors: IGUs are most commonly used in residential windows and exterior doors. They help maintain indoor comfort by preventing heat loss in winter and reducing heat gain in summer. They also improve the energy efficiency of homes, contributing to lower utility bills.
Sliding Glass Doors: Insulated glass is used in sliding patio doors, offering better insulation, noise reduction, and UV protection, while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the living space.
Skylights: Skylights with insulated glass improve energy efficiency by allowing natural light into homes while minimizing heat loss or gain. They help maintain a balanced indoor climate, especially in attics or areas with limited access to natural light
Office Buildings: In commercial office buildings, IGUs are widely used in window systems and curtain walls. Their thermal insulation properties help reduce the building’s heating and cooling costs, while their acoustic properties improve the working environment by reducing external noise.
Retail Stores: IGUs are commonly used in storefront windows and display areas. They not only provide energy efficiency but also protect merchandise from UV damage, which can cause fading.
Hotels and Resorts: IGUs are often installed in guest room windows, glass facades, and large glass walls in commercial properties like hotels and resorts to ensure energy efficiency, noise reduction, and comfort for guests.
Skyscrapers and High-Rise Buildings: Large-scale buildings use IGUs in their curtain walls and glazed facades to enhance the aesthetic appeal while providing thermal and sound insulation, crucial for energy savings in urban environments.
Hospitals and Schools: IGUs provide a controlled environment for sensitive spaces like hospitals and schools, where insulation and noise reduction are essential for patient and student comfort and concentration.
Residential Areas: IGUs are used in noise-sensitive areas such as homes near busy roads, airports, or railways. Their soundproofing capabilities help reduce external noise, making the living environment quieter and more peaceful.
Recording Studios and Theaters: In spaces where acoustics are crucial, such as music studios and theaters, IGUs with higher sound insulation ratings (STC) are used to minimize noise interference from outside and ensure a controlled acoustic environment.
Surface Treatments:
Edge Treatment: Flat edge, rounded edge, or beveled edge
Sandblasting: Can be sandblasted for decorative finishes
