Explaining IG Units

Customized IG's for residential applications can certainly have an impact in the way your home manages thermal performance. Insulated units keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer during the winter by reducing air-to-air transfer. This is produced by having two panes of glass separated by a spacer and trapping air in between. The insulating process then reduces the rate in which heat or cold travels within a unit. Applying a low-e coating on one of the four surfaces can furthermore increase your units thermal performance, how much heat loss is allotted (U-Value), how much light passes through a window (Visible Light Transmittance) and solar radiation admitted through a window (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient). These factors are one of several that can have an impact in the way your home conserves energy. Please contact your local GTI Sales Rep to help you customize or give you further information on IG’s.
