Safety Glass
Technically, any product that meets the requirements of IBC 2406 can be considered safety glazing, but the most common products are tempered and laminated glass.
What Is Double Glazed Glass and How Does It Work?
Double-glazed glass, often referred to as an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU), is a common construction element designed to significantly improve a building''s thermal performance. This
Insulated glazing
Insulating glass (IG) consists of two or more glass window panes separated by a space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope.
