The demands placed on insulating glass are growing continuously. In addition to thermal and sound insulation, customers increasingly expect insulating glass units to be more durable. Experts are familiar with the fact that triple glazing is the next logical step. It meets the growing demands but usually suffers one disadvantage: the increased weight.

Lighter IG Units Using Thin Glass

Perfect quality of the tempered thin glass

Tempered thin glass is light, extremely flexible and highly robust - properties that have only positive effects on insulating glass. Triple units with tempered thin glass eliminate the disadvantages of conventional triple IG units, combining at the same time all advantages:

• Ug values down to 0.5 W/m²K
• Excellent sound insulation
• Simple assembly using existing machines
• Lighter units are easier to install
• Triple units with the thickness and weight of double units

In addition to considerably improved thermal insulation, the low overall weight of these IG units is a decisive factor too: Window hinges or profiles do not have to support heavy loads. Furthermore, lighter units are much easier to handle, which brings important advantages for their installation. But there is yet another obvious advantage for manufacturers of insulating glass: They can continue using existing machines.
