Insulated glass has revolutionized the dynamics of thermal insulation with its dependable design. In an insulated glass panel, at least two panes of glass are fused together with an interlayer of inert gas. The layer of inert gas keeps the outside air from entering or the inside air from leaving the house. Thus maintaining a desirable interior temperature. The double-paned structure of insulated glass also offers optimum strength and safety value to withstand extreme weather changes. It is, therefore, a preferred option for use in windows, doors, building facades, roof panels, and skylights. Fab Glass and Mirror specializes in high-quality insulated glass. Whether you need insulated glass for windows, doors, or roof paneling, Fab Glass and Mirror is well-equipped to cater to all your residential and commercial requirements.

The glass panes and the interlayer of inert gas together constitute an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU). Since all the components of an insulated glass panel are interdependent for proper functioning, therefore, it is generally referred to as an insulated glass unit. The double pane glass and the separation gas together serve as a sealed system that cannot be replaced separately. You need to replace the whole unit for it to work properly. IGUs are also known as double pane glass windows and double-glazed windows.
Due to its thermal insulation property, insulated glass finds extensive applications in residential and commercial projects. Here is a brief view of some of the many applications of insulated glass.
Insulated glass windows are perfect for boosting the energy efficiency of the building. They reduce heat transfer and lower the strain from the temperature regulation system.
Double pane glass doors offer suitable strength to stand harsh weather changes. The insulated glass doors are also effective for thermal insulation.
Roof panels are highly exposed to weather atrocities. Insulated glass roof panels are therefore an ideal choice for ensuring security, safety, and weather insulation.
The retail storefronts should be strong enough to ensure maximum safety while also allowing a clear product view. Storefront insulated glass is therefore best to meet all the desired specifications.
If your old window pane is broken or you simply want to replace the regular glass window with an energy efficient one, opt for replacement insulated glass panels. You don't need to go overboard and change the whole window. All you need to do is remove the old glass panel from the window frame and replace it with the insulated glass panels while keeping the window frame intact in place. This approach is not only easier but also costs less than the whole window replacement project.
The cost of insulated glass starts from $10 per square foot and goes up according to the level of customization. You can get insulated glass panels cut and designed according to your individual requirements and experience the massive impact on energy consumption for temperature regulation.
The cost of double pane window replacement will vary based on the model and insulation you choose. However, you can expect it to cost somewhere between $450 and $600 per double-paned window.
Insulated glass is highly energy efficient. It reduces heat transfer by blocking the outside air and lowers the energy required to maintain a suitable interior temperature. You can notice a massive impact on energy bills after installing insulated glass units.
Insulated glass is widely used in commercial buildings as windows, doors, building facades, curtain walls, and roof panels.
An insulated glass panel lasts for at least 20 to 25 years. The service life of an IGU greatly depends on its quality and production standards.
The glass panels used in insulated glass units are either tempered or annealed. It depends on the user’s choice.
Double-pane glass can effectively reduce noise levels due to the inert gas interlayer. You can enjoy a calmer and quieter space with insulated glass windows and doors.
