Insulating Glass

Configurations Insulating Glass.

Viracon insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed with a hermetically sealed spacer. Triple insulating glass units are constructed with three plies of glass separated by two hermetically sealed spacers.

Insulating glass is designed to enhance solar and thermal performance using Low-E coatings protected by hermetically sealed spaces filled with Argon. The design provides a barrier to water and moisture infiltration and reduces condensation. Triple insulating glass further reduces the U-Value by offering the opportunity to place Low-E coatings on both the #2 and #4 surfaces.

Benefits

Why select insulating glass by Viracon

Solar Performance

Viracon Low-E coatings provide range of SHGC values to meet strict energy codes
Balanced VLT and SHGC optimize occupant comfort
Center-of-glass U-Value is reduced, minimizing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer
Viracon VTS® warm-edge spacer provides improved system performance
Triple insulating can further reduce U-Value by placing Low-E coatings on #2 and #4 surfaces
Roomside® Low-E coating on the inboard lite can enhance U-Value performance

Enhancements

Low-E coating applied on #2 surface provides excellent solar performance and appearance
Silkscreen and digitally printed patterns on the #2 surface—including bird-friendly designs—and SoarSafe first-surface etch provide versatile and creative design options
Full coverage ceramic enamel available for spandrel
Flatter glass can be achieved using a thicker outboard substrate
