VACUUM INSULATED GLASS
The typical home loses 30% of its heat through windows, so highly insulated windows are an energy efficiency option with a disproportionately large benefit. Essentially, a Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) window is like a flat, transparent thermos bottle that dramatically reduces heat loss and sound penetration. Super thin panes of glass, separated by tiny spacers are sealed around the edges creating a vacuum between the two panes.
VIG combines the best thermal insulation and noise reduction with appealing aesthetics allowing seamless integration into existing frames or new windows and doors.
Key Benefits
- ENERGY CONSERVATION: The high vacuum chamber of our VIG glass, effectively blocks thermal transmission.
- NOISE REDUCTION: Thanks to the high vacuum chamber VIG glass effectively blocks sound transmission.
- THINNER AND LIGHTER: Our VIG structure is thinner and lighter than insulated glass improving aesthetics.
- FULLY TEMPERED: If the glass breaks, it breaks into small honeycomb shaped particles.
- THERMAL INSULATION: The properties of VIG meets all international thermal transmittance requirements for passive houses.
- SUPER LONG LIFE: The superior sealing getter material ensures a long service life expectancy.
- EASY TO REPLACE: A single piece of VIG is only 8.3 mm thick - it can be easily retrofitted into original window and door frames to better retain the original joinery of the building.
- EXCELLENT UV FILTERING: VIG effectively lowers the UV radiation protecting indoor furniture and appliances.
- LEAD FREE: VIG is environmentally friendly- the metal sealing material is leadfree and hazard-free.
