Insulated Glass Benefits

Consider insulated glass units (IGUs) the greatest improvement project for your Burnaby home. Insulated glass units increase curb appeal and energy efficiency. These units’ powerful seals prevent water from seeping in and keep your home at a balanced temperature. Keeping this balance will save you money and reduce your energy footprint.

Insulated glass uses a pocket of air as an insulator between two or more panes. In between the panes of glass are spacers, which expand and contract with the temperature changes. Moisture absorbing material called desiccant fill the spacers or the spacer is made from silicone material. The air in between the panes can be filled with argon or krypton gas to maximize the insulation ability of the window. As a final preventative against moisture collecting between the windowpanes, the entire window is closed off with a high-grade sealant. This way, you know that no drafts will be coming in.
