High-performance insulating glass
We manufacture customized high-performance insulating glass units to help you achieve your energy performance goals.
What is high-performance insulating glass?
Insulating glass units (IGUs) consist of two or three panes of glass separated by a hermetically sealed space of dehydrated air. This type of glazing, also known as a sealed unit or double/triple thermos, plays a key role in energy efficiency by directly influencing the thermal insulation of buildings. In line with eco-energy best practices, such as LEED Building & Sustainability, the aim is to reduce solar heat gain in summer and minimize heat loss in winter.
An asset for energy efficiency: insulating glass units
High-performance insulating glass plays an essential role in improving the energy efficiency of buildings. Using advanced technologies, it combines two or three panes of glass separated by a cavity filled with an inert gas, such as argon. This creates a thermal barrier that reduces heat exchange between inside and outside. Whether for homes or commercial buildings, this glazing guarantees enhanced comfort while limiting energy consumption.
Fnsulating glass units
The thermal and acoustic properties of insulating glass units are enhanced by a number of components :
- Glass panels : This glazing comprises two or three layers of glass. A low-emissivity (Low-E) coating reflects heat in winter and blocks it in summer.
- Inert gas : The cavity between the panels contains argon or krypton, gases that improve thermal insulation.
- Spacer and seal : A hermetically sealed spacer separates the panels, preventing condensation thanks to dehydrating materials.
The benefits of insulating glass
- Thermal insulation : It limits heat loss and maintains a stable interior temperature, reducing heating and air-conditioning requirements.
- Acoustic comfort: This glazing reduces external noise, creating a quieter environment.nt plus calme.
- Energy savings :Better insulation helps reduce heating and cooling costs.
- Durability : Made from high-quality materials, this glazing withstands extreme weather conditions.
Main applications
High-performance insulating glass can be adapted to a variety of situations to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption:
- Residential buildings : It enhances the insulation of windows and doors, reducing energy costs.
- Commercial buildings : Glass façades benefit from improved thermal insulation.
- Eco-responsible projects : This glazing is essential in LEED-certified buildings, where energy efficiency is paramount.
Flexibility and customization
Can be adapted to the specific needs of each project. In fact, by adjusting the thickness of the panels or the type of gas in the cavity, it’s possible to create a custom glazing that optimizes both the energy efficiency and the aesthetics of the building.
A sustainable choice for modern architecture
High-performance insulating glass improves energy efficiency, reduces energy consumption and guarantees optimum comfort. Adopting this technology enhances your building’s energy performance while improving the quality of life inside.
