IGU Glass (Insulated Glass Units)
IGU Glass (Insulated Glass Units): IGU (Insulating Glass Unit) consists of two or more glass panes hermetically sealed together with a spacer to form a single unit. This design significantly improves thermal and sound insulation while enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the window. At FixHomeGlass, we install high-performance IGUs such as insulated glass units from Cardinal IG Company, which are specifically engineered to withstand temperature fluctuations and resist fogging thanks to a durable thermal seal.
Advantages
IGU provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, increases the energy efficiency of windows and protects against temperature fluctuations. Thanks to the airtight seal between the panes, condensation is prevented. The use of insulating glass units such as insulated glass units from Cardinal IG Company guarantees durability and resistance to fogging thanks to a reliable thermal seal.
Disadvantages
damaged, the entire unit can lose its insulating properties and will need to be completely replaced. However, this is rare and the Fixhomeglass Company team can quickly repair any breakage.
Suggested usage
for all types of windows, especially in residential areas where comfort, quietness and energy efficiency are important - for example, in houses and apartments facing noisy streets or in cold regions.
Annealed Glass
This is standard, untreated float glass that has not undergone any additional strengthening processes. It’s best suited for applications where safety glazing is not required. Although it breaks into sharp, jagged pieces, it remains a popular choice for certain window styles and low-risk areas.
Advantages: this basic glass is of high quality, easy to process and relatively inexpensive. It has good transparency and is suitable for standard applications. Disadvantages: it does not have high strength and breaks into sharp, dangerous shards when broken. Does not meet safety requirements in critical areas. Suggested usage: in lightly loaded areas where there is no risk of impact or injury - e.g. blind windows at height or interior decorations.
Low-Emissivity Glass (LoE glass)
LoE glass features a microscopically thin metallic coating that reflects infrared energy while allowing visible light to pass through. This helps keep homes warmer during winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy costs and minimizing UV damage to furniture, flooring, and fabrics. LoE glass is an excellent upgrade for homeowners who want to improve energy efficiency without sacrificing natural daylight.
Advantages: LoE coating reflects infrared radiation, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Reduces energy consumption for heating and air conditioning and protects interior elements from UV burnout. Transmits natural light without loss of illumination.
Disadvantages: higher cost compared to standard glass. Requires installation as part of a double-glazed unit for maximum effectiveness.
Suggested usage: for homeowners looking to improve the energy efficiency of their windows without changing the design or eliminating natural light.
Tempered Glass
Also known as “safety glass,” tempered glass is up to five times stronger than annealed glass. Upon breakage, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, making it ideal for use in doors, windows near walkways, and other locations where safety is a priority. We always use tempered glass for sliding patio doors and bathroom windows.
Advantages
tempered glass is 4-5 times stronger than ordinary glass, withstands heavy loads and temperature fluctuations. When broken, it disintegrates into small fragments without sharp edges, which makes it safe for people.
Disadvantages
it costs more than ordinary glass and does not lend itself to further mechanical processing after hardening.
Suggested usage
in doors, windows near entrance areas, balcony doors, bathrooms and other places where safety standards are important.
