Double Glazed:
Heat Insulation - Reduced Noise Intrusion - Additional Security
Thermal & acoustic insulation as well as increased security are some of the key benefits that double glazing offers.Insulated glass thus provides the building with excellent heat and sound insulation, resisting condensation in the process.
Comprising of two or more sheets of glass and between the glass is an aluminum spacer filled with dessicant. The aluminium spacer and sheets of glass are adhered and sealed by butyl and then polysulfide or silicone. Dry air is sealed in the air space, creating a low conductive barrier. The glass is processed with a primary seal of compressed polyisobutylene followed by a secondary seal using a two-part silicone.
Low-Emission Glass (Low-E):
Energy Saving - High Light Transmittance - Minimal Reflectance
Sealed within an insulated unit, Low-E coatings selectively transmits the sun's visible light (short-wave radiation) while reflecting a majority of radiant heat (long-wave radiation).
This Low-E coating is applied to glass substrate through state of the art magnetically enhanced vacuum deposition (sputtering) technology.
Laminated Glass:
Safety - Sound Insulation - Solar reduction
Laminated glass is also known as a type of safety glass which is produced in an autoclave. By compressing and heating one or more layers of Poly-Vinyl Butyral (PVB) between 2 or more sheets of glass. Most types of glass can be laminated in order to give increased safety.
Tempered Glass:
Safety & Strength
Tempered glass is glass that has been processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempered glass is made by processes which create balanced internal stresses which give the glass strength. It will usually shatter into small fragments instead of sharp shards when broken, making it less likely to cause severe injury and deep lacerations.
