Insulating Glass

Product Introduction

Insulating Glass, also known as Insulated Glass Unit (IGU), is a multi-layered glass structure composed of two or more panes of glass separated by a hermetically sealed air or gas-filled space. Designed for enhanced thermal and acoustic performance, insulating glass is a key component in modern energy-efficient building envelopes. It significantly reduces heat transfer, minimizes condensation, and contributes to a more comfortable and sustainable indoor environment.

Product Features

Thermal Insulation: Effectively reduces heat gain or loss through windows and façades.

Soundproofing: Offers excellent acoustic insulation, especially when combined with laminated glass.

Condensation Resistance: The sealed cavity helps prevent moisture buildup on the inner surfaces.

Customizable Composition: Can include LOW-E, reflective, laminated, or tempered glass for enhanced performance.

Multiple Spacer Options: Aluminum, warm-edge, and composite spacers to optimize insulation.

Product Details

Structure: Double or triple glazing with spacer-filled air or inert gas (e.g., argon) in between

Glass Thickness Options: 4mm + 12A + 4mm, 6mm + 12A + 6mm, customizable upon request

Spacer Width: 6mm – 24mm

Gas Filling: Air, Argon, or Krypton

Sealant System: Dual-seal (butyl + polysulfide/silicone) for durability

Optional Features: LOW-E coating, reflective coating, tinted or patterned glass, laminated layers

Product Advantages

Energy Efficiency: Greatly reduces heating and cooling costs by lowering thermal transmission.

Improved Comfort: Maintains stable indoor temperatures and reduces cold drafts or hot spots near windows.

Noise Reduction: Ideal for buildings in high-traffic or noisy environments.

Condensation Control: Keeps glass surfaces dry and clear under most weather conditions.

Design Versatility: Available in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and performance combinations.

Applications

Residential windows and sliding doors

Commercial building curtain walls

Skylights and atriums

Greenhouses and sunrooms

Soundproof enclosures and partitions

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between single glazing and insulating glass?

A: Insulating glass has multiple panes with a sealed gap, offering far better insulation and noise control than single-pane glass.

Q2: Can LOW-E glass be used in IGUs?

A: Yes. Combining LOW-E glass with IGUs enhances thermal performance and solar control.

Q3: How long does insulating glass last?

A: High-quality IGUs can last 15–25 years or more, depending on manufacturing quality and installation.

Q4: Is gas filling necessary?

A: While air is sufficient for many applications, argon or krypton gas filling significantly improves thermal performance.

Q5: Can IGUs be used in structural glazing systems?

A: Yes. They are widely used in structural and frameless systems with proper edge sealing and support.
