The use of sealed insulating glass units has expanded greatly in recent years. As they may represent a major item in the cost of the building enclosure, and as they have certain potential limitations as well as advantages, an awareness of their physical characteristics is essential.
Sealed glazing units are sometimes referred to as "insulating glass," and may be specified because of some assumed thermal advantage over other double glass arrangements. Their principal advantages, aside from simplification of design through the use of a single sash unit, are: reduction of the number of surfaces that require cleaning to two, and the elimination of condensation between the panes. Indeed, the prevention of such condensation is a principal requirement of satisfactory service. They also can provide increased sound insulation. |
Utilising one of the most technically advanced automated Lisec lines in the UK, we produce high performance insulating glass units up to a maximum size of 3500 x 2000mm of excellent quality. Our dual-seal insulating glass units are manufactured utilising robotic technology and sealed with a high performance Polysulphide seal. We utilise only very high quality components in our IG manufacture, all of which are tested constantly throughout the day, by our skilled staff. We specialise in manufacturing the following insulating glass units :-
Solar Control Units, Acoustic Control Units, Decorative units - including Georgian, leaded, bevelled designs, coloured overlay designs. Sealed Units with Integrated Blinds, Triple Glazed Units, Fire Resistant Units, Laminated Units, Float and Toughened Units, High Performance I.G. Units manufactured with soft coated glasses and gas filled to +90%. IG Units for Energy Rated Windows IG Units with WARM EDGE spacer Energy Efficient Glass Self Cleaning Glass All Glass Unit Combinations Mirrors Glass Toughening Solutions These units can be double or triple glazed dependant on the level of insulation required. Lower U Values are available with our most efficient triple glazing configuration increasing the insulation value to 0.6w/mk2. Utilising special soft coated glass in your IG unit, you can increase the insulation value of your units to as little as 1.2 W/m2k as standard. Lower U-values are available upon special request. We are very proud to be one of the first independent manufacturers in the UK to achieve the new European Kitemark standard BS EN 1279-2/3 for the manufacture of insulating glass units. Led by a focused management team, we have set our targets to become a leading manufacturer of insulating glass units to the trade industry. Bulk orders supplied without delay! Fast turnaround on all IG orders! |
