Key Features of Insulating Glass

• Insulation: Saves on heating and cooling by reducing air to air heat transfer. The enclosed layer of air makes the insulating capability about twice that of monolithic glass. Because of this, the load on the air conditioning is greatly reduced. The use of heat absorbing or heat reflective glass will further reduce the load on the cooling system
• Prevention of Dew Condensation: With monolithic glass, the temperature difference between the outside and inside of a room will often lead to condensation. With this glass however, the insulating effect of the air layer makes it difficult for the glass to become cold and is consequently harder for dew condensation.
• Retards Sound Transmission: Insulating glass can significantly save on exterior noise pollution. The amount of sound reduction depends on the combination of the insulating glass. Using one of the panes as laminated glass will drastically reduce sound transmission. Using dissimilar thickness of glass panes will also help combat noise.
• Pleasant Room Temperature: It offers increased personal comfort and aids in energy conservation. Because of its high insulation properties, the lack of cold or warm droughts leads to a pleasant internal environment. Insulating Glass is suited for:
• Office buildings, hospitals, hotels, houses and buildings with exceptionally high heating or cooling requirements.
• Buildings that need the temperature and humidity strictly controlled such as telephone exchanges, laboratories, etc
• For use in airport control towers, train windows, and other environments that need regulated atmosphere and prevention of condensation.
• Airports and buildings near highways and railways that can benefit from the sound insulation property of these types of Glass.
