Vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) features an airless gap between glass panes to minimize convective heat loss that occurs with traditional double-glaze windows, thus outshrinking them in terms of energy consumption and carbon footprint. VIG outperforms double and triple glazed windows by helping reduce both consumption and carbon footprint of buildings.
Tempered VIG can be up to 4-5x stronger than traditional annealed glass, enhancing durability, safety and performance in glazing systems or window frames. Its versatility enables integration into most standard systems or frames.
Ultra-thin design
VIG windows differ from traditional double-glazed units by eliminating air movement between panes of glass, leading to superior insulation that outshines even triple-glazed units. Due to zero convective heat transfer, VIG allows interiors to remain warm during winter while simultaneously saving on energy consumption; in summer months interiors remain cool while remaining energy-efficient.
VIG not only offers superior thermal performance, but its vacuum gap between glass panes also significantly reduces noise pollution to create an altogether quieter indoor environment for residents or commercial tenants alike.
HaanGlas VIG's ultra-thin design makes it an attractive option for listed buildings where compliance with planning regulations requires maintaining architectural integrity. Furthermore, HaanGlas VIG can withstand four times stronger winds or extreme climate conditions compared to conventional double-pane glass designs and is shatterproof - ideal for retrofitting into existing frames and structures or retrofitting glass into them without reinforcements. Furthermore, HaanGlass VIG offers four times stronger shatter-resistant construction characteristics making it suitable for buildings exposed to high wind loads or extreme climate conditions than its counterpart annealed counterpart; making HaanGlass VIG ideal for buildings subject to high winds/climat conditions than its counterpart annealed glass as it requires less framing material usage than its annealed counterpart, making HaanGlass VIG ideal.
Energy efficiency
With its vacuum between panes, VIG protects homeowners against both conductive and convective heat loss - helping them save on their energy bills and create more comfortable living spaces. VIG also offers excellent soundproofing properties, making it a suitable option for listed buildings or urban properties where noise pollution may be an issue.
Low-E coatings reflect infrared radiation and block solar heat to lower cooling costs and bring about reduced cooling bills, making VIG significantly cheaper to operate than traditional glass. They also block UV rays which could damage interior furnishings or cause fading over time.
VIG retrofitted glass has the potential to generate annual savings of up to 126.2 kg CO2-e per window area - equivalent to billions in energy costs worldwide and contributing significantly towards meeting carbon emission reduction targets. This can be of particular use for architects trying to lower embodied carbon in their designs.
Reduced noise
HaanGlas VIG provides effective noise and urban clamor abatement and daylight optimization while simultaneously optimizing energy efficiency by harnessing natural daylight, thus decreasing artificial lighting needs. Thanks to this combination of soundproofing and energy-efficiency features, HaanGlas VIG makes an excellent retrofitting glass option for buildings with traditional framing arrangements; architects can meet building performance standards without compromising design flexibility.
VIG outperforms slimline double glazing thanks to its vacuum layer between panes, which reduces convective heat transfer while eliminating the need for gas fills (such as argon or krypton) that degrade over time.
VIG glazing units are extremely light and thin, making them perfect for historic renovation projects that need low-profile solutions. Their minimal impact on window appearance has outshone many double-glazed units when tested according to National Fenestration Rating Council testing requirements; their slim construction allows it to fit seamlessly into existing frames without additional reinforcement, while needing less framing than traditional double or triple-glazed IGUs (reducing carbon). Their superior insulation properties and durability make VIG an excellent option for green building projects looking to meet stringent energy efficiency standards.
Durability
HaanGlas VIG is an ideal retrofit glass option for older buildings, providing superior insulation compared to slimline vacuum double glazing while meeting planning regulations in listed structures. As it doesn't contain cavities between panes, HaanGlas VIG does not rely on argon or krypton which may leak over time and reduce insulation effectiveness.
Ultra-thin glass can easily be integrated into existing window frames for renovation projects to save energy without disturbing their aesthetics or design. Furthermore, its thermal efficiency and acoustic performance surpass many traditional options.
VIG can help reduce HVAC costs in commercial buildings by limiting heat loss and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. Its high acoustic performance and low emissivity allow for noise control, while UV protection helps reduce artificial lighting fading. Furthermore, VIG is four to five times stronger than regular glass and shatter-resistant for increased protection from damage and debris entering through its panels.
