Insulating glass units, or IGUs, are designed to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. An insulating glass unit commonly consists of two (sometimes more) panes of glass separated by a spacer material and sealed together at the edge.
How do you tell if you have insulated windows?
- If you see a single reflection of the flame, it is single-pane glass, which means your window is not an IGU.
- If there is a double reflection, your window has double-pane glass and is an IGU.
- And a triple reflection means you have triple-pane glass and your window is an IGU.
How do insulated windows work?
Insulated window glazing refers to windows with two or more panes of glass. To insulate the window, the glass panes are spaced apart and hermetically sealed, leaving an insulating air space. Insulated window glazing primarily lowers the U-factor, but it also lowers the SHGC.
