Insulating Glass
Glazing configurations for thermal comfort, acoustic performance and light control.
For standalone glass orders and WINTENIC window and door projects.
Glazing Configuration Options
Choose the combination that matches your project priorities. These configuration options can be combined; the final build-up is confirmed per project.
Thermally Enhanced Laminated IGUs
Combine a laminated pane with an insulating cavity and, where specified, suitable Low-E or solar-control coatings. The complete build-up is selected to balance thermal insulation, solar heat gain, daylight and appearance. Solar-control performance should be confirmed for the selected coating and glass combination.
Acoustic Laminated IGUs
An acoustic laminated pane can be incorporated into an IGU to help reduce noise transmission. Selection should consider the noise source, glass thicknesses, interlayer and cavity arrangement. Acoustic ratings must refer to the specified build-up; the frame, seals and installation also matter to the finished window.
Comfort-Focused Glazing
Combine thermal, acoustic and warm-edge options within one coordinated glass specification. This approach allows project priorities to be considered together, rather than selecting each component in isolation. The final combination is confirmed against the project drawings and required performance.
Specialist Glazing Options
Availability and supplier specifications are to be confirmed for each project.
Electrochromic IGUs
Electrochromic glazing uses electrical control to change its tint, helping manage daylight, glare and solar heat gain. Glass construction, tint range, controls, power requirements and integration with the selected window or façade system require project-specific review.
Vacuum Insulated Glazing
VIG uses an evacuated gap between glass panes instead of a conventional air- or gas-filled cavity. It is assessed as a distinct glazing option. Unit construction, dimensions, edge details and compatibility with the intended frame must be confirmed using the selected supplier’s technical information.
Warm-Edge Spacer Systems
The spacer maintains the distance between the panes and forms part of the IGU edge-seal system. Warm-edge spacers use materials with lower thermal conductivity than conventional aluminium spacers, helping reduce heat transfer at the glazing edge.
In cold conditions, a thermally improved spacer can help maintain a higher temperature at the indoor glass edge and reduce the risk of condensation. Actual condensation conditions depend on indoor humidity, temperatures and the complete window construction.
Glass-fibre-reinforced composite spacers and flexible foam spacers are different systems. The selected material, corner construction and compatible sealants should be confirmed as part of the glass specification.
Spacer materials, production availability and compatible sealants are to be confirmed for the selected build-up.
Welded Glass-Fibre-Reinforced Spacer Frames
Neat 90-Degree Corners
Carefully formed corners give the spacer frame a clean, consistent appearance.
Even Butyl Sealant Application
An even primary-sealant bead supports consistent contact around the glass perimeter.
Uniform Glass Contact
A flat contact surface supports consistent spacer placement and edge-seal application.
Smooth Welded Joints
Well-finished welded connections provide a tidy joint detail in the spacer frame.
Controlled Desiccant Filling
Correct filling and retention of the desiccant help keep the cavity dry and limit loose particles inside the unit.
Aligned Spacer Frames
Consistent spacer positioning supports a neat edge appearance. The arrangement is confirmed against the selected unit’s cross-section drawing.

Applications
Windows & Doors
Match the glass specification to the selected frame system, glazing dimensions and project requirements.
Façade Glazing
Review glass dimensions, appearance and performance targets together with the project’s façade specification.
Skylights & Sunrooms
Confirm the proposed construction against the roof-glazing design, installation angle and project requirements.
Discuss Your Glass Requirements
Send your drawings, dimensions, quantities, preferred glass build-up, project destination and required performance. If you are ordering glass with WINTENIC windows or doors, include the selected system or window and door drawings. For electrochromic or vacuum glazing, include any supplier specification or specialist requirements available.
