Insulated glass is a glass product consisting of two or more pieces of glass separated by a dry gas (usually argon or nitrogen), and the edges of the glass are sealed with sealant. This structure makes the insulated glass have excellent heat insulation, sound insulation, aesthetics and practicality, and reduces the weight of the building.

This structure makes the insulated glass have excellent heat insulation, sound insulation, aesthetics and practicality, and reduces the weight of the building.

The invention of insulated glass can be traced back to 1865, invented by Americans. After years of development, it has become one of the widely used building materials in modern architecture. Insulated glass has a wide range of applications, including building doors and windows, curtain walls, partitions, etc. Especially in energy-saving buildings, the use of insulated glass is particularly important.

What is an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU)?

Insulated glass is often referred to as a unit: IGU-Insulating Glass Units, since most of the parts are dependent on another for proper performance. The IGU will keep the heat in during the cold weather and will retain the heat out during the hot weather. Coatings are applied on the interior of IGUs to reflect UV light back into homes to retain warmth, or on the outside to keep sunlight from heating up a home. The IGU can give a greater value when conjunction with Low-E and reflective coated glass. Low-E glass should always be insulated with the coating to the inside (surface #2). Unlike single-pane glass, IGU glass panes are part of a sealed system that can’t be replaced individually. Insulated glass units go by different names, including: “double glazing” or “double-pane glass windows.” IGU improve thermal performance, significantly reducing heating and air conditioning costs. IG units or “double-pane” glass are usually used in residential, commercial and industrial constructions. These types of IG Units are required by building codes in many areas as mandatory energy conservation measure.
