What Are Insulated Glass Units?

Insulated glass units (IGUs) are advanced glass solutions that improve energy efficiency, comfort, and noise reduction. These units consist of two or more glass panes separated by spacer bars, creating an air or gas-filled cavity that acts as an insulating barrier. The result is reduced heat transfer, enhanced indoor temperature control, and decreased energy costs. Glass Service 8 Inc. orders and installs custom IG Units to meet your needs.

Insulated Glass Units Are Ideal for…

  • Residential windows and doors
  • Commercial storefronts and curtain walls
  • Office spaces and conference rooms
  • Retail display windows
  • Soundproof enclosures
  • Temperature-controlled facilities
  • Skylights and atriums
  • High-performance energy-efficient buildings
  • Hurricane and impact-resistant installations

Insulated Glass Units FAQs

How do IGUs improve energy efficiency?

IGUs reduce heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments, keeping interiors warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This decreases reliance on heating and cooling systems, leading to lower energy consumption and utility bills.

Can IGUs reduce noise?

Yes, IGUs are excellent for noise reduction. The multiple glass panes and insulating space dampen sound waves, making them ideal for homes and commercial properties in noisy areas.

What causes fogging in IGUs?

Fogging occurs when the seal between the glass panes fails, allowing moisture to enter the insulating space. This can result from aging, poor installation, or extreme weather conditions. Glass Service 8 Inc. can repair or replace fogged IGUs to restore performance.

How long do IGUs typically last?

With proper installation and maintenance, IGUs can last 10-20 years or more. However, factors such as climate, material quality, and manufacturing processes can affect their lifespan.

Are IGUs suitable for all types of windows and doors?

Yes, IGUs can be installed in most window and door frames, including aluminum, wood, and vinyl. Contact Glass Service 8 Inc. for tailored solutions to fit your specific needs.
