Insul -Therm® SIGUs eliminate cold spots and draughts in room, associated with a single glazing, thus ensuring all the room space is usable. Because Insul -Therm® SIGUs are now available with a similar insulation value as a brick wall, floor to ceiling double glazing is now a viable option.
Condensation Eliminated
Generally, Insul -Therm® SIGUs offer approximately 20 - 30% improvement in sound control over a single glazed window, dependent on glass selection.
The tremendous insulating properties of the dehydrated air in the Insul -Therm® SIGUs ensure the inner pane is at virtually the same temperature as the room, thus largely eliminating condensation.
Reduced Noise Levels
Insul -Therm® Sealed Insulating Glass Units
With ever-rising energy costs, sealed insulating glass units are essential to any building. By trapping a layer of dry air between two glass panes, thermal resistance is naturally increased and heating and cooling costs reduced.
Insul -Therm® sealed insulating glass units(SIGU) are manufactured from two or more panes of glass, seperated by a metal spacer to which they are bonded with a primary seal, and a silicone or polysulphide secondary seal. The resultant air chamber formed is then dehydrated. Insul -Therm® units provide reduced heat loss in winter, and reduced cooling load in summer.
