Insulated Glass

Insulated glass is generally called double pane glass and it is built by joining two panes of glass together using a spacer material that is sealed together at the edges to make an air-tight unit. Most new homes are built using insulated glass within doorways and windows.

Double pane glass produces “dead air-space” between both bits of glass that provides considerable insulating qualities making them a lot more energy-efficient than single-pane windows. Usually, the larger the area between both panels of glass, the greater insulation they provide. This padding also functions like a sound barrier for your home or workplace.

A Cutting Edge Glass and Mirror, Inc. holds many different items to be used within your house or workplace, for example low-e glass, internal grids, colored, obscure and powerful glass, which could be constructed in your window openings.

Double pane windows are available in several sizes, shapes as well as colors. Our glaziers will scrutinize your window and visit your house and therefore the existing glass will be matched by the replacement glass ascertain the form, size and color.

Insulated Glass is mostly used in situations where the glass unit acts as a barrier separating the indoors from outdoors. Almost all of the glass units used on the outside walls of residential and commercial units are insulated. This reduces temperature transfer and helps save energy. Substitute one of the two pieces of glass with a low E Glass and you dramatically slow heat transfer even further.

Insulated glass units last for a very long time, but the seal between the two panes of glass over years will begin to leak and the inner air escapes. This causes the inner surface between the two pieces of glass to fog up. This of course does not look good but more importantly an insulated unit with a broken seal looses its insulating properties and temperature transfer between the two sides of the glass happens more readily. If this happens, in most cases only the glass portion of the window can be changed, leaving the frame intact.

In case of an accident where only one pane of the glass breaks, the entire insulated glass unit needs to be replaced. Replacement of an insulated glass unit is normally not a DIY project and requires experience.
