We offer a wide variety of glass table tops ranging from 3/16” to 3/4" thick glass and a large variety of custom edge works and glass choices.

REPLACEMENT DOUBLE PANE:

Insulating Glass (IG) units are hermetically sealed combinations of two or more lites of glass separated by a dry airspace. IG units improve thermal performance, significantly reducing heating and air conditioning costs. IG units also reduce interior condensation in cold climates.

Low-E (Hard Coat): Low-emissivity is a thin, metal, transparent coating applied to the pane of glass to reduce heat transfer through the window. This coating reflects solar heat outside in the summer and reflects radiant (furnace) heat inside in the winter. In addition, it blocks about 30-45% of UV rays protecting furniture, wood and artwork. On a cold day, low-e will be 40 degrees warmer than a single-pane glazing and 10 degrees warmer than a double-pane glazing. (R-Value of 2.85 to 3.8, U-Value 0.35 to 0.30)

 

Low-E (2) or Sputtered Low-E (Soft Coat): The difference between this and regular low-e is that it includes a sputtered (layered) coating instead of a single coating. This further increases insulation and UV protection.

 

 

Where should I use double pane units?
A wide range of applications include:

 

Fixed and Operable windows

Storefronts and Curtain Walls

Sloped/Overhead Glazing

Non-vision (Spandrel) Locations

 

Insulating glass units are fabricated according to project specifications. IG units can be constructed using a large variety of glass products to achieve desired aesthetics, meet design criteria, safety codes and/or to improve solar control and thermal performance. Glass options include clear, low iron, Low-E's, standard or high performance (spectrally selective) tints, reflective, silk-screened, spandrel, laminated, decorative and wired glass. The glass lites of an IG unit can be annealed, heat-strengthened, tempered or laminated.

 

SAFETY GLASS:

Safety glazing is required by the International Residential Code in a number of locations and is intended to reduce the potential for injury in the event of accidental contact with the glazing.

The two most common types of safety glazing are tempered and laminated. Each pane of safety glazing is required to be permanently labeled. The label typically consists of an etching in the corner of the window indicating if the glass is tempered or laminated.

 


What is Heat-Treated Glass?

Heat-treated glass is glass that has been processed through a tempering oven to increase its strength to resist impact, mechanical loads and thermal stress breakage. There are two distinct heat-treated glass products, heat-strengthened and fully tempered. 

What is Laminated Glass?

Laminated Glass is a multifunctional glazing material that can be used in a variety of applications. It is manufactured by permanently bonding two or more lites of glass with layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, under heat and pressure, to create a single construction.


 
Safety glazing is required in the following locations:

** There are certain situations that require safety glazing. Below is the “Minimum” standards set by the “International Residential Building Code”. If your state or local codes require more strict codes remember in any building code situation, the MOST STRINGENT CODE APPLIES.

 

 

Safety Glazing In Windows


Glazing in an individual fixed or operable panel that meets all of the following conditions:


When it comes to safety, these Codes are taken very seriously, and are strictly enforced by any law, punishable by heavy fines or imprisonment or both. Contradictory to any rumors you may hear that these codes do not apply to a “Remodeling” or “Existing” situation please be assured they do apply in “ANY” situation.

** There are a number of exceptions to the rules listed above because of the design and variety of doors, glazing products, and locations. If you have questions regarding a specific location for safety glazing, contact your local Inspections Division
