Glass in an IGU is used to provide natural light and maintain internal temperature conditions and protection from outside conditions.

Glass panels in an IGU are separated by a ‘spacer’. Spacers can be found in a number of materials, each of which has an effect on the performance of the IGU. They are often made of aluminium or an insulating plastic composite known as warm edge spacers.

Warm edge spacers get their name because they are more insulating and not as conductive as aluminium spacers. Current available materials are aluminium, steel, stainless steel, thermoplastic, and plastic.

To improve the performance of an IGU, gas filling is an option provided by manufacturers. Inert gasses such as Argon and Krypton are used in place of just air in the internal cavity of the unit.

Sealants are used in the construction of an IGU in two stages. A primary seal is used to fix the glass panels to the spacer bar, and a secondary seal is used to seal the outer edges of the complete unit. The sealants purpose is to prevent moisture penetration into the unit. Primary sealants are often used in conjunction with aluminium spacer bars and act as a barrier to stop thermal transfer from the two glass panels touching it. Warm edge spacers are often applied with a self-adhesive primary seal, and due to their material makeup are already far less conductive than their metal alternatives.

The secondary seal (outer seal) is always required when constructing an IGU. It provides structural strength to the IGU edge. Secondary sealants generally come in the following variants; hot melt butyl, two-part polysulphide, two-part polyurethane and silicone.

Insulated double glass units, commonly known as double glazing, are advanced window systems designed to improve energy efficiency and comfort in buildings throughout Melbourne. These units consist of two glass panes separated by a spacer, creating an insulating air or gas-filled gap between them. The gap is typically sealed to form a hermetically sealed unit, also known as an IGU (Insulated Glass Unit).

The insulating air or gas layer between the glass panes acts as a barrier, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the building. This results in better temperature control, minimizing the need for heating or cooling systems and leading to lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills.

Double glazing is particularly beneficial in Melbourne’s variable climate, where summers can be hot and winters chilly. The insulation provided by the double glass units helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature regardless of the external weather conditions.

The dual layers of glass and the insulating gap help to reduce external noise infiltration, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment. This is especially advantageous for properties located in noisy urban areas or near busy roads.

The interior glass pane of the double glazing remains warmer than the outside temperature, reducing the occurrence of condensation on the window surface during cold weather. This helps prevent moisture buildup and potential damage to the windows and surrounding structures.

Some double glazing units come with low-emissivity coatings that block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from entering the building. This protects interior furnishings, artworks, and other items from fading and damage caused by UV radiation.

By enhancing energy efficiency, double glazing contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. It aligns with environmentally conscious practices and sustainable building designs.

Double glazing units are available in various configurations, including different glass thicknesses, gas fillings, and coatings, allowing for customization based on specific performance requirements and architectural preferences.

Investing in insulated double glass units for windows and doors is a valuable choice for property owners in Melbourne. It not only improves indoor comfort and reduces energy expenses but also enhances property value and contributes to a more sustainable living environment. To ensure the highest quality and performance, it’s essential to work with reputable manufacturers or suppliers and opt for professional installation.
