TEMPERED GLASS
A glass that’s all about safety, even when it breaks.
Tempered glass is often referred to as "safety glass." And for good reason. It's more resistant to breaks than normal float glass. And if it is broken, it usually breaks into relatively small particles, which are less to cause injury.
Characteristics
•Approximately five times stronger than annealed glass of equal thickness
•Greater resistance to thermally induced stress than heat-strengthened or annealed glass
•Suitable for use as a safety glass
•Tempered safety glass is also mandated in other parts of the world by individual country regulations or specifications
Insulating Glass Units
Control the heat, stay comfortable.
Insulating glass units improve the thermal performance of glazing by providing a thermal break – two lites of glass separated by a sealed air space. These key properties enable insulating glass to meet two very different requirements—keeping heat in during winter and keeping heat out during summer.
Guardian can meet the high demand for this product through our fabricating facilities in the United States and Canada.
Characteristics
● Saves on heating and cooling by reducing air-to-air heat transfer
● Increases personal comfort and aids in energy conservation
● Retards sound transmission
● Increases strength to withstand wind loads
Applications
● Suitable for commercial and residential glazing. In dual-seal insulating glass units the primary seal is polyisobutylene (butyl). The secondary seal is polysulfide or silicone.
● For all structural glazing applications a secondary seal of silicone must be specified.
Availability
● Polysulfide and silicone are available for conventional glazing. Only silicone is available for structural glazing.
● Combinations vary and may use clear, tinted, ceramic decorated or high-performance glass in annealed, heat-strengthened or laminated form. Low-E is available on the #2 or #3 surface of an insulating glass unit.
● Standard thicknesses range from 11 mm (7/16") to 25 mm (1") for commercial and residential use and a maximum thickness of 33 mm (1-5/16") in sloped-glazing applications. Other glass thicknesses may be available on request.
● Aluminum spacers are bent or mechanically joined at the corners.
