What is an Insulated Glass?

 

What is Insulated Glass?

Insulated Glass or double glaze unit is defined as a combination of two glass panels resulting in one glass panel. The type of glass used in the exterior of insulated glass can be tinted, one-way mirror or solar control and the one towards the interior is clear glass. This combination and the thickness can vary as per the requirements. In the centre of these two glasses is an aluminium spacer which consists of small holes and zeolite/molecular sieves. These aluminium spacers are held together in between the glass units by using futile tape. The frame of the spacer is slightly smaller in size as compared to the frame of the glass. Around the boundary of the glass, purposely there is a space left that is filled using silicon. Space present between the aluminium spacer and the glass is filled either by dry air or by argon gas or vacuum.


How Insulated Glass Works?

When you are using single glass, the sound insulation is not as efficient as it is with insulated glass. As we know, sound needs a suitable medium to travel through, but in the case of insulated glass, this medium is not present. When sound tries to cross through insulated glass, the first glass reduces the strength of sound to a certain extent and the strength goes on decreasing as it further crosses the argon gas and other components of the insulated glass. Towards the end, the strength of the sound signal terminates completely. The only limitation with these glasses is that when they are installed in an air-conditioned room, the air between the glasses turns into water droplets, which destroys the visibility of the glass completely and it restricts your ability to see through the glass. This is where molecular sieves come into play. These molecular sieves absorb this moisture content and the residual volume of air present changes into dry air leaving no moisture content.

Molecular sieves present consist of very small pores of size approx. 3 Angstrom and the water molecules are also of the same size. Hence, due to the same size, these water molecules get trapped in these sieves. These types of insulated glasses can be manufactured by machines in factories as well as through human labour. The pricing of insulated glass depends on various factors such as:-

⮚      The thickness of the glass

⮚      The thickness of the molecular sieve

⮚      The type of molecular sieve.

⮚      The thickness of spacers.
