Insulating glass has the functions of heat insulation, sound insulation and noise reduction, and is widely used in various buildings as an energy-saving building material. With the improvement of people's requirements for the living environment, the performance of insulating glass is gradually improving. The following three measures can help improve the performance of insulating glass to a certain extent.

1. Use low radiation (LOW-E) glass

 Using LOW-E glass as the substrate can reduce the transmittance of the glass, improve the reflectivity, and reflect more infrared and ultraviolet light in sunlight to achieve the purpose of energy saving.

 At the same time, LOW-E glass can also reduce the thermal radiation passing rate of the glass, and at the same time prevent the external thermal radiation from entering the room and reflect the indoor heat back. In winter and summer, it can play an excellent energy saving effect and allow the passage of visible light, Visual effects are not affected.

2. Improve the thermal insulation performance of the spacer layer

 When the thickness of the spacer layer is larger, the heat transfer coefficient is smaller, and the energy-saving effect of the insulating glass is better, but it is not possible to increase the thickness indefinitely. The reasonable thickness of the insulating glass spacer layer should be about 12mm.

 At the same time, injecting inert gas into the spacer layer can also improve the heat insulation and sound insulation performance of the insulating glass, the energy saving effect can be increased by about 10%, and the problem of ice condensation on the inside of the glass in winter can also be reduced.

3. Selection of sealing material and frame material

 As an important part of doors and windows, frame materials will also affect the overall energy-saving effect. At present, plastic-steel insulating glass doors and windows and aluminum alloy doors and windows with thermal insulation bridges are recommended. A good sealing material can also prevent moisture and ordinary gases from entering the interior of the insulating glass and affect the performance of the glass.

 It is also a good technique to leave a drain hole at the installation groove to prevent the glass from contacting with water for a long time, which not only prolongs the service life of the insulating glass, but also reduces the thermal conductivity of the window frame material. Guaranteed energy saving effect.
