INSULATED GLASS

Insulated glass, also known as double-glazed units (DGU), are ready-made units consisting of two glass panes separated by an air gap. This gap is filled with Argon gas, which helps reduce noise, heat, and harmful UV rays. The two glass panes are sealed together at the edges, providing both structural strength and protection for the space between them.

To ensure optimal performance, the air between the glass panes is dried using a desiccant, which removes any moisture. The enclosed dry air, combined with the design of the insulated glass unit, significantly reduces heat transfer through the window.

Various types of glass can be used for insulated glass, such as tempered (for added strength), laminated (for safety), reflective (to reduce glare), low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings (to enhance energy efficiency), tinted (for privacy or solar control), or clear glass.

We specialize in providing insulated glass units specifically designed for bolted structural glazing applications. This means our products are engineered to meet the unique requirements of installations where glass panels are affixed using bolts or other mechanical means, ensuring reliable performance and durability.

In summary, insulated glass units offer multiple benefits, including improved thermal insulation, noise reduction, protection against UV rays, and a range of glass options to meet specific needs. Our expertise lies in producing insulated glass units that are ideal for bolted structural glazing projects.

ADVANTAGES

Insulated glass is a type of window that consists of two glass panes separated by an air gap. It has several advantages compared to other types of insulating glazing:

• Slim frame construction: Insulated glass is lighter than triple-glazed units, which makes it possible to have thinner frames for windows and doors. This allows for a more sleek and modern appearance.
• Excellent insulation: Insulated glass provides superior insulation, especially for sloped or inclined glazing. It helps keep heat inside during cold weather and blocks heat from entering during hot weather. This can significantly reduce energy costs for heating and cooling.
• Solar shading: The design of insulated glass also helps in blocking out unwanted sunlight and reducing the need for expensive cooling systems. This can result in savings on cooling costs during hot summer months.
• UV protection: Insulated glass offers protection against harmful UV rays, which can cause fading and damage to furnishings. It helps to preserve the colors and quality of furniture, carpets, and other interior items.
• Long service life: Insulated glass has a long lifespan of around 25-30 years, providing lasting performance and durability.
• Noise reduction: Insulated glass, especially when combined with asymmetrical glass structures, can significantly reduce noise levels. This makes it ideal for locations where noise is a concern, such as busy streets or near airports.

APPLICATIONS

Insulated glass can be used in various applications, including curtain walls, structural glazing, overhead glazing, skylights, glass floors, aquariums, offices, hotels, hospitals, libraries, museums, airport terminals, residences, and apartment buildings. It is also recommended for places that require noise control, high security, or protection against break-ins, such as banks, ticket windows, gas stations, jewellery shops, embassies, and more.
