Description
Insulation Glass
Insulation Glass (IG) units are hermetically sealed combinations of
two or more lites of glass separated by a dry airspace. IG units
improve thermal performance, significantly reducing heating and air
conditioning costs. IG units also reduce interior condensation in
cold climates.
Application
- Fixed and Operable windows
- Storefronts and Curtain Walls
- Sloped/Overhead Glazing
- Nonvision (Spandrel) Locations
Description
Insulated glass units are fabricated according to project
specifications. IG units can be constructed using a large variety
of glass products to achieve desired aesthetics, meet design
criteria, safety codes and/or to improve solar control and thermal
performance.
Glass options include clear, low iron, Low-E's, standard or high
performance (spectrally selective) tints, reflective,
silk-screened, spandrel, laminated, decorative and wired glass. The
glass lites of an IG unit can be annealed, heat-strengthened,
tempered or laminated.
Capabilities
The standard 1" commercial IG unit consists of two lites of 1/4"
glass and a nominal 1/2" air space. Custom IG unit designs can be
fabricated with glass thicknesses ranging from 1/8" to 3/4" and
with airspace thicknesses ranging from 3/*6" to 7/8" having
standard spacer colors of clear, bronze and black anodized, and
mill finish aluminum. Maximum sizes for IG units are determined by
a number of considerations including thickness, weight, aspect
ratio, application and load requirements.
Applications
Insulated glass units are used in essentially all exterior building
applications, including vertical glazing, sloped glazing, overhead
glazing and skylights, and also in both vision and spandrel
(nonvision) areas. Depending on the glass type used, IG units can
be designed for: light and solar control, sound control,
ultraviolet screening (to reduce fading), hurricane, earthquake and
blast resistance, security, bullet resistance, and decorative
applications.
