HaanGlas VIG Glass is a non-leaded double-glazed IGU designed to offer maximum energy efficiency and sound reduction. Easily integrated into both traditional and non-traditional glazing systems and window frames.
Retrofitted into existing windows without changing their appearance – an invaluable benefit in listed buildings – it also boasts better thermal performance than slimline double glazing due to its vacuum layer that prevents both conductive and convective heat loss, significantly improving acoustic performance and further increasing sound insulation.
Water jet cleaning
VIG units feature glass panes separated by a vacuum layer, providing energy efficiency gains by preventing both convective and conduction heat loss, significantly increasing energy efficiency. Furthermore, this vacuum layer offers noise pollution-reducng performance for creating an environment free from noise pollution – perfect for creating peaceful living environments.
Traditional vacuum-glazing units (VIGs) feature an evacuation port to maintain vacuum pressure over time, but modern VIG units may also be designed without such ports for an elegant appearance and improved thermal insulation. HaanGlas’ Fineo glazing is one such example of such vacuum-glazing that does not feature such holes resulting in superior thermal insulation properties and reduced maintenance requirements.
Switching existing windows with vacuum insulating glass (VIG) can save billions in energy costs, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while creating a more comfortable living environment and increasing property values and resale potential. VIGs slim profile also makes retrofitting existing frames simpler – something which may be especially appealing to owners of historical properties or listed buildings.
Buffing
Commercial buildings such as office buildings and skyscrapers feature complex glass that needs special care for optimal function. Restoring these windows to remove blemishes that could threaten to undermine their structure is paramount; professional commercial glass restoration company HaanGlas VIG specialize in this service and can buff glass to remove mineral deposits, chips, oils, rain damage, scum buildup and lime accumulation to provide lasting clarity while preventing future mineral leaching or staining issues.
VIG glass features an energy-efficient low emissivity coating which reflects infrared heat to help retain warmth in winter, blocks solar heat during summer and reduces UV rays that cause fading – all ideal qualities for high-rise buildings that must meet energy code requirements and offer improved insulation. Plus, its lack of evacuation ports makes this technology far safer than standard double glazing!
Deep cleaning
ViG uses a vacuum layer between its panes to stop both convective and conduction heat loss, making it highly effective at keeping heat inside in winter and keeping interiors cooler in summer – helping reduce energy use and save money on electricity bills while protecting against UV rays’ harsh impact on furniture and surfaces for year-round comfort in your home.
VIG windows’ slim profiles make retrofitting them into traditional windows easy, which is particularly advantageous in listed buildings and heritage preservation settings. Their Low-E coating improves insulation by lowering U-values while permitting more natural light through.
Getters are included within VIG glass panes to absorb any gas molecules that leak between them over time, maintaining vacuum seal integrity for as long as possible and increasing product longevity while continuing its insulating benefits. Incorporating getters also minimizes condensation between glass panes for reduced maintenance requirements and improved long-term performance.
Sealing
Vacuum Insulated Glazing (VIG) eliminates air gaps between glass panes to significantly decrease heat transfer through conduction and convection, significantly improving energy efficiency while simultaneously cutting heating/cooling costs and carbon emissions for commercial buildings/homes alike.
The VIG gap between glass panes is maintained using microscopic ‘pillars’ which separate them without compromising transparency or aesthetics, thus eliminating gas filling requirements, providing an effective thermal barrier with higher insulation performance.
VIG can be used as either a monolithic replacement for existing monolithic glass, or inner lite in traditional IG units with Solarban 70 solar control and low e coatings on both surfaces, creating hybrid units. Furthermore, its latest generation doesn’t require an evacuation port and features an inconspicuous getter to hide gaps between glass panes – making VIG an excellent solution for historic properties with wooden windows.
