Energy-Efficient Glazing: Double, Low-E & Acoustic Glass

High-Performance Glazing: Double, Low-E & Safety Glass

Glazing plays a crucial role in your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and noise control. HUSH offers a wide range of glass options, from double and Low-E to toughened and laminated glass. Each choice is designed to enhance insulation, reduce heat transfer, and improve overall home safety and acoustics.

GREAT OPTIONS FOR EVERY HOME

The importance of window glass has also been integrated into your window choice. Many solutions are available:

PLEASE NOTE:
The solar heat gain coefficient should be as low as possible while the light admission should be higher

DOUBLE GLAZING

Double or even triple glazed units are separated by an air or other gas space like Argon, to reduce heat transfer and/or sound transmittance across a part of the building envelope. In modern insulated glass units, the space between the glass panes is kept dry by the use of desiccant and the edges are sealed to eliminate possible condensation and provide superior insulating properties.

LOW E-GLASS

Low Emissivity (“Low-E”) glass has a special invisible coating bonded to the glass inside the double glazing unit. This coating reduces heat loss from the home, by essentially acting like a “heat mirror” that reflects heat back into your home. Low E can also reduce solar heat gain that can overheat your house, while also insulating your house from the temperature outside. Low-E glass greatly enhances the insulating performance by as much as an additional 60% compared to standard double glazing.

TOUGHENED GLASS

A type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Fully toughened glass is approximately 4 to 5 times stronger than heat-treated glass of the same thickness when exposed to uniform static pressure loads.

LAMINATED GLASS

Two or more panes of glass are permanently bonded together with one or more interlayers. Laminated glass offers good acoustic insulation and a high protection factor against burglary.

VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION

VLT is the percentage of visible light passing through the glass. The higher the VLT, the more light is transmitted.
