Insulating Glass/Insulated Glass

Insulated Glass

1. Insulated Glass is hermetically sealed combination of two or more lites of glass separated by a dry air-space. The space itself can be filled with dehydrated air, or with a special gas. The type of glass, the type of spacer, and the type of gas used in the space contribute to the overall insulating efficiency of the glass, and also the total cost. Insulated glass improve thermal performance, significantly reducing heating and air conditioning costs. Insulated glass also reduce interior condensation in cold climates. The effectiveness of insulating glass as an energy saver deponds on the features incorporated into it.

2. The gas used in the space between the panes is dehydrated air in the least expensive panes, and argon, krypton, etc. In the highest quality panes. These gases have quality that decrease the movement of heat through the space, giving improved efficiency.
