Insulated glass

Extremely important, and often overlooked.

When choosing glass, pay attention to the:

• technology it has
• number of panes
• total thickness
• manufacturing process

Let us consider triple-paned glass, 36 mm thick, and triple-paned glass, 40 mm thick, that have the same technology and are identical in every respect except thickness. 36 mm thick glass will have 15% poorer thermal insulation than 40 mm thick glass. Specifically, 36 mm thick glass will have a value of (U_g) = 0.7 W/m²K, and 40 mm thick glass will have a value of (U_g) = 0.6 W/m²K.
The lower the (U_g) = value, the better the thermal insulation. We hope you have realized the importance of glass thickness and how sometimes a seemingly small difference actually makes an enormous difference; therefore, you should always pay attention to the overall thickness.
