Aesthetics and Functionality

2. Energy Efficiency Tempered insulated glass units are designed to minimize heat transfer, enhancing a building's energy efficiency. The insulating gas within the unit significantly reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, contributing to lower heating and cooling costs. This feature is particularly beneficial in regions with extreme weather conditions.

The Allure of Smart Frosted Glass A Modern Touch for Every Space

It is this hidden microscopic behavior of glass that makes glass such a curious vessel of beauty, which runs counter to everything we were taught as children about the state of matter. What we usually come into contact with is that matter has three states: solid, liquid, and gas. This is not unusual in any fanciful imagination. Still, glass is special.

Typically, an IGU consists of two or more panes of glass that are hermetically sealed around their edges. The space between these panes is filled with air or an inert gas, such as argon or krypton, which has a lower thermal conductivity than air. This gas-filled cavity reduces heat transfer between the indoors and outdoors, significantly enhancing energy efficiency. Moreover, the external and internal surfaces of the glass may be treated with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings. These coatings reflect infrared energy, further improving the thermal performance by keeping heat inside during the winter months and blocking it during the summer.
