INSULATING GLASS ADVANTAGE

2023-09-27

The trend of modern architecture is to use large-area glass or even glass walls, but the advantages of single glass in lighting, weight reduction, and magnificence cannot conceal its fatal weakness of high energy consumption in heating and cooling. Hollow glass is the way to solve this contradiction. The so-called insulating glass is two or more layers of flat glass made of aluminum frames filled with desiccant and bonded with butyl rubber and polysulfide adhesive. In addition, there is also the use of vacuum pumping or argon filling in the cavity, rather than just dry air.

The advantages of insulating glass are energy conservation and environmental protection. The main energy consumption in modern buildings is air conditioning and lighting, with the former accounting for 55% and the latter accounting for 23%. Glass is a thin and easy to heat transfer material in the exterior walls of buildings.

The concept of insulated glass window is that the glass of the window is made of double-layer glass, filled with inert gas in the middle to form a dry gas space, and then separated by an aluminum spacing frame filled with molecular sieves and sealed with sealant strips.
