Insulating Glass Unit

Here in Aurora, an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU) is manufactured according to project specifications. IGU’s are available to satisfy requirements such as sound control, seismic, hurricane, blast, impact, and bullet resistance. They can also be designed to meet state energy and safety codes. So that the residence or commercial unit will have a reduction of heat during the summer and solar heat gain during the winter, with minimal reduction of visible light transmittance.

The IGU is a piece of glazing that has two or more layers of glass separated by super spacer along the edge and sealed with desiccant to create a dead air space between the layers. Desiccant is used to prevent condensation and improve insulating performance. It is mounted in a sash or frame as if it were a very thick piece of glass. The dead air space may be filled with air or an inert gas like argon that provides better insulating performance. Insulated glass cannot be altered after it has been manufactured to the size.

Here in Aurora we can create almost any unique size or shape. With years of experience Aurora can produce accurate shapes to fit your unique patterns or drawings.
