Low-e + Clear, 24 mm
Low-e + Clear with argon gas, with a package thickness of 24 mm, is the ideal choice - optimal in terms of investment price relative to the further energy savings - when seeking very little heat loss from inside to outside.
Mounting the glass package in the joinery is done according to the figure, with the "soft" layer on face 3, with low-e glass on the inside.
In the table below we can track properties of this insulating glass, depending on the width of the glass, space between the sheets and gas used.
The U-value is very important and should be as small as possible if we desire a good thermal insulation.
Solar4S + Clear, 24 mm (similar: 4Seasons, SunGuard, DualProtect)
The solar contraol glazing, with a package thickness of 24 mm, preserves the qualities of low-e glass, but has a higher degree of protection against sunlight. It is the right choice when you wish to eliminate the greenhouse effect caused by natural solar energy. This can reduce conditioning costs in summer.
Mounting the glass package in the joinery is done according to the figure, with the magnetron layer on face 2, with the sheet of protective glass on the outside.
In the following table we can see the combination of glass properties depending on thickness, space between the glass panels and gas used.
The amount of light reflection is very important but also the U-value.
Clear + Clear, 24 mm
Clear + Clear glazing, with total thickness of 24 mm, is used as insulating glass when you do not need a superior isolation or thermal protection. For example, on the interior or in a house undemanding in terms of significant energy losses.
Assembly in the joinery system is standard.
This type of insulating glass is produced by the same process as other types of quality float glass, the difference being given by the smaller price but, also, by the package properties.
In the table below we can see the properties of this type of insulating glass.
