The structure of the glass panes corresponds to that of the insulating glass. Commonly used inter-pane spaces are 12 – 16 mm. The significantly higher thermal insulation compared to insulating glass is achieved by an almost invisible thermal radiation reflecting layer of metal oxides and a gas filling in the space between the panes. In overhead glazing, the room-side pane is laminated safety glass. <\/b><\/p>\n

The structure of the panes corresponds to that of thermal insulation glass. However, 3 panes are connected to each other via 2 spacer frames and 2 inter-pane spaces<\/b> (inter-pane spaces) to form a pane unit. The extreme thermal insulation is achieved by two heat-reflecting functional layers and inert gas fillings in the inter-pane spaces. In terms of the current energy saving regulation (EN 673), this glazing is essential for living spaces.<\/p>\n

At e.g. – 10\u00b0 outside temperature and 21\u00b0 inside temperature, the pane in the interior is still +19\u00b0 warm. A cold radiation is no longer noticeable<\/b> and the desired comfort is ensured even at low outdoor temperatures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A vacuum is created in this weld gap. The air pressure acting from outside is absorbed by numerous barely visible metal needles.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, the unbearable heating of your winter garden in summer must be prevented, on the other hand, as much light as possible should illuminate the rooms. You can achieve this goal with solar control glass. Short-wave thermal radiation is reflected to a high degree by the solar control glass, while daylight can pass largely unhindered.

If the transparency of the glass is not permanently desired, the use of electrochromic glass is an option.
\nHere, a nanostructured coating turns blue when an electrical voltage is applied, thus reducing the transmission of sunlight.

The smaller the Ug<\/em> value, the better the thermal insulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The heat transfer coefficient – Ug-value<\/strong> (often still referred to as k-value) is the central physical parameter when determining the heat loss through a building component. The heat transfer coefficient indicates the amount of heat that passes through 1 m2 of a building component per hour at a temperature difference of 1 K between the adjacent room and outside air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The higher the g-value<\/em>, the greater the solar energy gain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The g-value<\/strong> is the total energy transmittance of glazing for solar radiation in the wave range from 300 nm to 2,500 nm.
\nIt is expressed in % and indicates what percentage of solar energy the glass lets through. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
