Energy Saving Glass

The multiple benefits of energy glass
 
If we analyze the responsibilities of the structural elements in the heat dissipation in an average house we see that:
 
• 20% of the thermal loss is due to the roof
• 25% of the heat loss is due to the walls
• 20% of the heat loss is due to the floor
• 35% of heat loss is due to windows
 
What is energy glass (Low-E)?
New-generation Energy Glass (Low-E) is a transparent glass, which has a tiny metal oxide coating on one side. This coating does not allow the transfer of heat from the inside of the house to the outside environment or vice versa.
 
Energy glass and warm climate:
Energy glass:
► Reflects infrared sunlight (heat)
►This is a shield to indirect heat from the surrounding area
► Reduces cooling costs
 
Energy glass has the attribute of reflecting the infrared sunlight (heat) and allowing it to pass only as visible light. When sunlight strikes an object (pavement, loop, balcony, flowerpot, etc.), it heats and emits indirect heat, which attempts to enter our space. Energy glass acts like a shield in this kind of heat and does not allow it to pass through our inner space. This helps us keep our home or work space cooler in the summer, as the heat from the environment, as well as that emitted by the various objects, does not pass through the interior, thus keeping our space cool, resulting in reduced cooling costs .
 
Energy glass and cold climate:
Energy glass:
► Maximizes the beneficial effect of the sun
►This is a shield in the heat that tries to escape from the interior
► Reduces heating costs
 
Energy glass maximizes the beneficial energy of the sun. The energy from the sunlight is absorbed by objects inside the space, such as sofas and carpets, and is essentially converted to heat. Energy glass acts like a shield in this heat and does not allow it to escape from the windows. Let's not forget that the heat inside the room moves towards the coolest (cooler windows.) The energy glass acts like a mirror and reflects the heat which goes to escape back to our premises, keeping it warm, resulting in reduced heating costs.
 
Overall Benefits of Energy Glass:
The overall benefits of energy glass can be summarized as follows:
• More efficient thermal insulation in the winter
• Easier cooling in the summer
• Reduction of annual heating and cooling costs up to 35%
• Essential contribution to environmental protection
• Reduce up to 70% of the incoming ultraviolet radiation that carries carpets, furniture and more.
• Minimal cost difference from double glass
• Similar look with plain glass
 
Advantages
• Comfort all year round.
• In winter, ENERGY GLASS which is a double-glazing glass provides 3 times more
• thermal insulation from common glasses. In the summer, double the amount of heat
• More comfort on large glass surfaces due to the minimization of cold spots and
• contacts.
• Saving energy due to reduced heating requirements.
• Environmental protection due to the reduction in energy consumption needed for heating
• Reduced liquefaction inside the windows. as the internal glass pane is retained more
• near the room temperature
• Ability to increase the size of glass surfaces without increasing the requirements for
• heating
• More comfort due to maintaining the desired indoor temperature
• Reduce costs where air conditioning is required
• Reduced UV radiation to protect furniture

Triplex Safety Glass

TRIPLEX Safety Glass

TRIPLEX glass panes are laminated glasses which are manufactured in accordance with the European standard EN 12543.

More specifically, it is a combination of two or more monolithic glass panes, white, colored, reflective, low heat conduction AND `categories_description`. 'Language_id` = 4; simple and / or securit, and either heat-sealing them with PVB membranes or cold welding them with intermediate resin layers.

 Characteristics-Advantages

1. Safety Protection

In the event of an accident, the PVB inner layer in the triple glazing absorbs the energy of impact with the human body. In addition to the increased durability that ensures, even in case of fracture, fragments remain in the inner layer, eliminating the risk of injury

2. Structure Strength

In the event of breakage, the triple glazing remains fixed on the curtain wall without the risk of injury from fracture and drop of fragments. Even under these conditions, the affected system still protects the interior of the building from weathering such as rain, air

3.Surfaces

Triple glazing systems are unbreakable and protect tenants from vandalism. Even in case of breakage, the triple glass continues to function as a shield until it is replaced.

4. Sound Proof

Triple glass is the usual choice of building projects thanks to its increased sound insulation against conventional glazing (monolithic systems).

Indeed, the performance of the acoustic glazing systems available on the market is greatly improved by the use of triple glass on one or both sides of the frame.

5.Protection from UV rays

The PVB inner coating in the glazing provides 99% protection for protecting interior fittings and furniture from the negative effects of sunlight.

6. Improved Optical Performance

The construction of glass facades with triple glass ensures high-class visual performance and sharpness.

The applications of triplex glass are too many, shop windows, entrance doors, double insulated glazing and joint glazing, structural glazing, spandrels, interior partitions, baths, stair rails, windshields, windscreens, trains, airplanes, bulletproof constructions etc. Also where accident protection is required simple glass pane as well as where necessary for further protection against theft, burglary, violation.

Triplex glasses can be decorated either by sandblasting or perimeter jewelry, etc. after welding them either with Laser or Silk screen before sealing them.

Sound Proof Glass

Protection against noise is one of the most important issues in our lives since it directly affects our mental health. The basic prerequisite for defining the term comfort and sometimes living is low noise levels.
 
Our notion of noise is subject to the following principle: if the noise level in a room decreases by 1dB relative to an external noise source, it is as if the intensity drops to half.
 
Sound insulation must be applied everywhere where the noise can not be minimized. In such applications we use ECHO-LAM® multi-level glazing combined in double glazing.
 
 
Characteristics
 
In the case of double-glazed windows whose construction is based on glassy asymmetry and the use of gaps in the gap between them. These glass panes can achieve a sound insulation coefficient Rw = 30 - 53 dB, depending on the type. Before selecting the appropriate composition, the noise source must be specified as other factors must be identified. Therefore, in all cases, customers must contact the company at the initial planning stage so that all the specific requirements can be taken into account. When determining the noise source we use the so-called acoustic coefficient of insulation Rw and the correction coefficients C and Ctr. Rw denotes the number of decibels that isolates the glass without describing the frequency band, but gives an average value between 100 and 3150 Hz.
