Glazing Specification Introduction

The choice of glazing can have a large effect on the overall performance of the product with the key inflences being 1. the coating on the glass 2. The type and width of the spacer bar and 3. What the air gap is to be filled with air or gas.

Coating
As standard we use 4-16-4 pilkington K glass

Spacer bar
Spacer bars which make up the outside egde of the glazing unit (between two panes of glass). Our standard units use aluminium spacer bar in either Silver, Bronze or White while cost effective it provides poor insulation. An alternative is to use a warm edge spacer bar to reduce the thermal bridging effect at the egde of the glazing unit.

Air gap

Our standard air gap widths is normally 16mm with the cavity filled with air or argon gas which will provide good performance.

Safety & Security

All Glazing is supplied toughened or laminated where specified or requested.
