Processed Glass
Insulated Glass Units (IGU)
IGUs combine two or more glass lites separated by a spacer bar and a sealed, air- or gas-filled cavity, reducing heat transfer versus single-pane glazing. Can incorporate Low-E coatings, laminated lites, and gas fills (argon/krypton) to hit specific U-value and SHGC targets for your project.

Key Features
Configurable air gap width and gas fill for target U-values, can combine coated, tempered, and laminated lites within the same unit, and warm-edge spacer options reduce edge-of-glass heat loss and condensation risk.
Where This Glass Is Used
Curtain walls, storefronts, residential and commercial windows, and any glazing application targeting energy code compliance.
Manufacturing Process
- Spacer & sealant assembly — A spacer bar (aluminum, warm-edge composite, or foam) is placed between lites and sealed with a primary (butyl) and secondary (silicone/polysulfide) seal system.
- Gas filling — Argon or krypton gas fill replaces air in the cavity to improve thermal performance, sealed to minimize long-term gas loss.
- Cavity configuration — Air gap width (typically 6mm–20mm) and number of panes (double or triple) are configured to hit target U-value and SHGC.
- Lite combination — Any combination of Low-E coated, tempered, heat-strengthened, or laminated glass can be built into the same unit.
Applications & Use Cases
- Curtain Wall & Storefront Glazing — Standard configuration for commercial facade energy performance.
- Residential & Commercial Windows — Double- and triple-pane IGUs for window and door systems targeting energy code compliance.
- Green / Net-Zero Buildings — Triple-pane and gas-filled configurations support aggressive U-value targets for high-performance buildings.
- Acoustic-Sensitive Facades — Asymmetric pane thickness and wider air gaps reduce sound transmission.
Standard Sizes & Specifications
Configuration | Overall Thickness | Max Size | Typical U-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
Double pane, 12mm gap | ~24mm | 2440 × 3660mm | ~1.4–1.6 W/(m²·K) |
Double pane, Low-E + argon | ~24–28mm | 2440 × 3660mm | ~1.0–1.2 W/(m²·K) |
Triple pane, Low-E + argon | ~36–44mm | 2440 × 3660mm | ~0.6–0.8 W/(m²·K) |
Technical Service
We support your project from drawing review to delivery, not just order fulfillment.
- Drawing & Spec Review — Shop drawings and project specs are reviewed before production to confirm sizes, tolerances, and edge/hole details match your requirements.
- Testing & Documentation — Mill test certificates, thickness/strength test reports, and compliance documentation provided for project submittals.
- Technical Consultation — Our team advises on coating, thickness, and configuration selection to meet your project's structural and energy code requirements.
Customization
- Custom Cut Sizes & Shapes — Curved, notched, cut-corner, and irregular shapes fabricated to your CAD drawings, not limited to standard rectangles.
- Edgework & Drilling — Polished, beveled, or seamed edges, plus precision hole drilling and cutouts for hardware and fittings.
- Coating & Printing Options — Combine with Low-E coating, tinting, or ceramic silkscreen/digital printing on the same order.
Packaging & Shipping
- Export-Grade Crating — Reinforced wooden A-frame or flat crates with edge protection, built for ocean freight handling.
- Container Loading — Load plans optimize container utilization while maintaining safe glass spacing to prevent transit damage.
- Shipping Documentation — Packing lists, certificates of origin, and mill certificates prepared in advance for smooth customs clearance.
- Lead Time — 7days in 12'' sample; 15days in mock up sample; 35days in project order.
