Insulated Glass
Insulated Glass
A primary sealant is used on the inside to fix the spacer bar to the inside of the glass panes while a secondary silicone sealant is used on the outer to form an airtight seal along the incessant sides of the window.
The main benefit of insulated glass is that it helps in insulation by decreasing the heat gain and heat loss. Another advantage of insulated glass is that it augments the energy efficiency in buildings. The reduced heat transfer lowers the electrical power utilization required for heating or cooling of the space. This significantly cuts down the electrical bills especially in areas subjected to extreme heat or cold.
Insulated glass also facilitates sound insulation and develops the acoustics of the place. The inert gas present in between the two panes of glass does not permit noise to pass through and acts as an obstruction between the interiors of the building and also the noise that is present outside the building.
There is a decline in the number of UV rays and direct sunlight that enters the site through the windows. This prevents in fading of paintings, curtains, photographs, carpets and sofa fabrics that could have been caused by the UV effect of sun rays.
Insulated Glass windows can also operate as a safety and security window. It is very difficult and takes much longer to break an insulated glass unit in comparison to a single pane window.
