The utilization of boro-aluminosilicate thin glass, with a thickness ranging from 0.5 to 0.7 mm, has facilitated the development of innovative insulated glazing units (IGUs).
These new constructions offer enhanced performance, comfort, and reliability compared to IGUs constructed solely with soda-lime glass, while also being lighter. Ultra-thin glass is now being integrated as the central panes in triple and quad IGUs, as well as being laminated to soda-lime glass to improve safety, impact-resistance, and sound transmission reduction while enabling smart window functionality. This paper shares various instances of thin glass incorporation in IGUs, highlighting their benefits and presenting testing data in accordance with the requirements of the architectural glazing industry.
