Viracon Insulated Laminated Glass

At viracon insulating glass units are sealed with a primary seal and a secondary seal of silicone.

Viracon insulated laminated glass. Insulating laminated glass provides the solar controlling properties of an insulating unit along with the safety features of the laminated inboard component. Laminated insulating glass is an insulating glass unit with a laminated outboard. Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a spacer. This configuration is a dual pane or double pane insulating glass unit however is commonly shortened to insulating glass.

A typical laminated insulating glass configuration is 1 5 16 thick overall constructed as. Laminated glass is a durable high performance glazing product designed to remain integral in the opening should glass damage occur. Laminated glass units also have more aesthetic possibilities than monolithic glass. Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss.

This allows the flexibility to design with hundreds of combinations of tinted glass high performance coatings silk screen patterns and pigmented interlayers together or alone. The most common insulating glass unit is constructed with two plies of glass and one sealed air space. In addition the low e coating and silk screen pattern if desired are applied to the exterior ply of glass leaving the interior ply available for additional treatment. The interlayers used in laminated glass are available in a variety of colors and opacities.

This configuration can be used in applications where the exterior is overhead glazing or in specific hurricane zones where safety glazing is required for the exterior.
