Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing)

Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing), also known as insulated glass units (IGUs), represents a significant advancement in glazing technology, combining two or more glass panes separated by a hermetically sealed space filled with air or inert gas. This innovative construction creates a thermal barrier that dramatically improves insulation performance while maintaining optimal light transmission and visual clarity.

All Glass specializes in manufacturing custom Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) units engineered to meet specific performance requirements for diverse architectural applications. Our advanced production facilities enable us to create units with precise specifications, incorporating various glass types, coatings, spacer systems, and gas fills to achieve targeted thermal, acoustic, and solar control properties. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure long-term performance and seal integrity.

Why Choose Our Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing)

Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) provides exceptional benefits for both new construction and renovation projects, significantly reducing energy consumption while enhancing indoor comfort. Our customized solutions address specific climate challenges, building orientation factors, and functional requirements. With options ranging from basic thermal performance to advanced multi-function units, we can optimize your glazing system for energy efficiency, sound control, safety, and aesthetic appeal.

Thermal Insulation

Our Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) units achieve U-values as low as 1.0 W/(m²·K), dramatically reducing heat transfer compared to single glazing and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round.

Acoustic Performance

The multi-layer construction with optimized air spaces significantly reduces sound transmission, creating quieter interior environments protected from external noise.

Solar Control

Specialized coatings and tinted glass options allow precise management of solar heat gain, optimizing energy performance by season and façade orientation.

Condensation Resistance

Improved thermal performance of the interior glass surface minimizes condensation formation even in high-humidity conditions, protecting window frames and surrounding materials.

Planning & Strategy

Our approach to Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) projects begins with a comprehensive analysis of performance requirements, considering factors such as building location, orientation, usage patterns, and energy efficiency goals. We recommend optimal glass combinations, coating positions, and spacer systems to achieve desired performance characteristics while respecting budget constraints. This consultative process ensures that your glazing solution delivers maximum value and long-term performance.

Our work benefits

Investing in quality Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) from All Glass delivers substantial benefits throughout your building’s lifecycle. Beyond immediate improvements in comfort and noise reduction, our IGUs typically reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by 30-50% compared to single glazing. This translates to significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact. The enhanced comfort created by eliminating cold spots near windows expands usable space within rooms, while improved condensation resistance protects surrounding building materials from moisture damage, extending the service life of the entire window system.

Frequently asked questions

Understanding the options and performance characteristics of Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) helps clients make informed decisions. Here are answers to common questions about our insulated glass units.

What factors most influence the energy performance of Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing)?

Several key factors determine thermal performance: the type and position of low-emissivity coatings, the width of the air space between panes, the type of gas fill (air, argon, or krypton), and the spacer material. Low-E coatings reflect infrared energy while allowing visible light to pass through, dramatically improving insulation. Optimal air spaces typically range from 12-16mm, while argon gas improves insulation by approximately 30% compared to air. Finally, “warm edge” spacer technology reduces heat transfer at the perimeter of the unit. We optimize these variables based on your specific performance requirements.

How long will the sealed units remain effective?

Modern Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) units manufactured with high-quality materials and processes typically maintain their performance for 15-25 years. All Glass uses advanced sealant systems, precision-engineered spacers, and rigorous quality control to maximize unit longevity. Factors affecting lifespan include exposure conditions, frame quality, installation technique, and maintenance practices. Our units are backed by comprehensive warranties reflecting our confidence in their durability.

Can Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) be combined with other glass features?

Absolutely. Our Thermal Insulated Glass (Double Glazing) units can incorporate numerous additional functionalities including laminated safety glass, tempered glass, acoustic enhancement interlayers, decorative elements, self-cleaning coatings, and dynamic solar control technologies. These multi-function units allow you to address multiple performance requirements simultaneously without compromising thermal efficiency. We can help you navigate these options to create the optimal solution for your specific application.
