HaanGlas VIG technology utilizes vacuum between panes for superior insulation, saving energy and decreasing CO2 emissions. Additionally, this solution makes an excellent retrofit solution for existing buildings as it fits within traditional window frames without impacting their appearance.
VIG offers unsurpassed thermal performance with U-values as low as 0.3W/M2. This figure is substantially lower than gas-filled double glazing systems and its zero air movement prevents convection that contributes to heat loss from traditional window systems.
Superior Insulation
Contrary to conventional double-paned windows that rely on air as insulation material, VIG creates a vacuum between its panes in order to improve thermal performance while simultaneously decreasing heating and cooling energy usage. This results in significant operational cost savings.
VIG features a slim profile that makes it ideally suited for retrofitting windows and large glass surfaces to optimize natural lighting. Furthermore, there is no gas leakage which ensures high performance over time.
HaanGlas VIG is an excellent choice for projects seeking green certifications or energy efficient buildings that prioritize energy efficiency, as it ensures noise reduction isn’t an issue in urban settings. Furthermore, HaanGlas VIG features no evacuation holes to eliminate condensation issues while limiting spontaneous breakage for long-term durability.
Low-E Coatings
VIG windows use vacuum technology instead of air as an insulator to significantly decrease heat transfer and energy loss, leading to greater thermal efficiency while simultaneously decreasing HVAC system workload and costs.
VIG windows come equipped with low-E coatings to allow beneficial solar energy into the home while limiting longwave radiation effects that typically characterize traditional IGUs. VIG offers one of the most cost-effective low-E options available – CS73 – providing barely noticeable tint and high levels of insulation with moderate solar heat gain reduction. Available for Perspectives, Lightscapes, Vents, Simulated Divided Lights and Classic Impact Rated Doorglass applications.
Noise Reduction
HaanGlas VIG is an innovative glass solution, providing superior insulation, energy efficiency, and durability in new construction or retrofit projects. The vacuum-sealed space prevents heat transfer by conduction or convection resulting in significant savings both energy costs and carbon footprints.
VIG double glazing differs from traditional slimline double glazing in that instead of filling gaps between glass panes with gas such as argon, it uses microscopic pillars as sealants between each pane to form a tight seal resistant to atmospheric pressure while still offering maximum visibility.
Additionally, VIG windows’ lack of air between panes reduces noise transmission for a quieter living experience – ideal for listed historic properties or areas requiring noise control measures. Their minimal maintenance needs make VIG an attractive long-term choice that will bring many years of peace in their wake.
Durability
VIG stands apart from traditional double glazing by creating a vacuum space to prevent convection and conduction heat transfer from taking place, thus offering greater insulation performance and energy savings compared to slimline vacuum double glazing systems.
HaanGlas VIG provides residential buildings with energy savings by lowering heating and cooling costs, which in turn decreases carbon emissions. Furthermore, HaanGlas VIG improves indoor comfort by keeping temperatures steady year-round while simultaneously decreasing noise levels.
HaanGlas’ VIG technology features two 4mm to 6mm glasses separated by an edge seal containing non-leaded metal edge seal and vacuum space, providing wall-like R-value insulation performance while simultaneously decreasing structural load and carbon emissions. It can easily be integrated into traditional framing systems for convenient wall insulation performance and lower carbon emissions.
Versatility
HaanGlas VIG retrofits easily into existing windows and doors to turn them into energy-efficient barriers without altering their appearance. Its slim profile makes it suitable for period or listed buildings that must retain their original aesthetics while its superior acoustic performance reduces noise transmission by up to 36 dB.
VIG differs from traditional double-glazed glass in that its vacuum seal provides superior thermal insulation compared to triple-glazed options, eliminating convective heat loss while providing better convective heat insulation compared to even triple-glazed models.
VIGs are an ideal solution for new construction projects, providing excellent energy efficiency, durability and acoustic performance. Furthermore, VIG is thinner and lighter than standard IGUs, requiring less framing while potentially lowering embodied carbon emissions. In addition, their resistance to condensation between panes reduces issues related to mold or moisture damage.
