Shield What Is Vital

INSULATED GLASS UNITS (IGU)​

Insulated Glass Units (IGU) works by trapping gases such as air or argon between two or more panes of glass, creating an insulated barrier. The barrier acts as a defense against unwanted elements such as heat loss, noise, and condensation.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Lower Noise Penetration

Complementary to the uPVC profile, the insulated barrier makes it harder for noise to enter similar to laminated glass.

Reduce Heat Penetration

What is suitable for noise is also desirable for heat. Acting the same way, it makes it harder for heat from outside to enter.

Cut Down Electric Consumption

Aside from lower heat penetration, the cold air from the AC is kept longer inside the room because of the insulation; thus, lowering electricity costs.

How It Works

Double glazing works by trapping air between two panes of glass creating an insulating barrier that reduces heat loss, noise and condensation. Insulated glass units work best with Low-Emissivity (Low-E) Glass because it blocks the sun’s heat out of your home.

Aluminum Spacers available in 6, 8, 12 mm

igu-03

Absorbents absorb water and chemical vapors, protecting the IGU from fogging.

igu-04

Polyisobutylene (PIB) Primary Seal this polyisobutylene-based material has a low moisture vapor transmission rate and an excellent adhesion to glass and metal, superb resistance to water, UV light, and aging.

igu-05

Hot Melt Butyl Sealant this polymer-based material is 100% thermoplastic that develops adhesion by cooling. It is specifically formulated to adhere to glass and has an excellent low vapor transmission rate.
