• Clear glass is available in a wide range of thicknesses. It is most commonly used in spaces where it is not needed additional UV blocking or protection.
• Tempered glass, also known as “safety glass” is required on all patio doors and other spaces where extra security is needed. Tempered glass, if broken, will shatter in a way that reduces the risk of serious injury. Our tempered glass meets rigorous industry safety codes, like ANSI Z-97.1-2009 and CPSC 16CFR 1201 categories I and II.
• Laminated glass can offer your home an extra level of security and calmness. Laminated glass is used especially in areas close to airports, industry or anywhere where uncomfortable noise exists. In comparison to tempered glass, laminated glass does not only offer a strong sound proof barrier, but also more security. If broken, laminated glass will not fall off, due to the vinyl interlayer, that will remain in the frame and keep the glass fragments welded.
• Patterned glass, available in three different textures can add style and refinement to the windows where privacy is needed.
• LoE glass has the aim to add energy efficiency and comfort to your home, all year round, regardless of the climate you are located in. The LoE IGU glass can be coupled with tempered, laminated and/or patterned glass for added safety, soundproofing or UV protection.

Lowest failure rate in IGU market

Assembled of high quality components:

1. Warm-edge stainless steel spacer – improving resistance to condensation and less stress on seal. Improved (Bent) Corners.
2. Primary and Secondary seal -  keeps moisture out and argon inside, provides long-term adhesion. Dual Seal: PIB/Silicone.
3. Desiccants – absorbs moisture to minimize temperature-related pressure changes.

There are six types of sealants in the glass industry: polyisobutylene (PIB), polysulfide (PS), polyurethane (PU), hot melt butyl (HMB), silicone and reactive hot melt (DSE) and each of them has its pros and cons.

While PIB offers best in class MVTR and gas retention, it lacks structural strength and solvent resistance. A silicone sealant, on the other hand, provides excellent UV stability, temperature resistance, structural strength and solvent resistance, but performs poorly in MVTR and gas retention.

The IGU units offered by our company are sealed with a combination of the PIB and silicone materials. This technology incorporates the advantages of both types of sealants, providing extra performance and high durability of the IGU in all climates and conditions.

Are you planning to replace the IGU glass in your house because the old ones have lost their seals or because you want to save your budget for heating and cooling or maybe just because you want to refresh the look of your home?
