# Insulated Glass: Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Insulated glass, also known as double-glazing or insulated glazing units (IGUs), consists of two or more glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed to create an airtight space. This space is often filled with inert gases like argon or krypton to improve thermal performance.
## Benefits of Insulated Glass
1. Energy Efficiency – Reduces heat transfer, lowering heating and cooling costs.
2. Noise Reduction – The multi-pane design dampens outside noise.
3. Condensation Control – Minimizes condensation buildup compared to single-pane windows.
4. UV Protection – Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings can block harmful UV rays.
## Common Applications
– Residential windows
– Commercial buildings
– Skylights and sliding doors
Insulated glass is a smart investment for improved comfort, energy savings, and environmental sustainability.
