HaanGlas VIG is a revolutionary technology that provides superior insulation compared to standard double glazing. Utilizing a vacuum layer between panes, VIG helps minimize convection and condensation energy loss to maximize savings for its customers.
VIG also eliminates the need for gas fills such as argon and krypton that may leak over time, and its vacuum prevents heat transfer by convection – making VIG an excellent choice for passive house designs.
Insulation
VIG differs significantly from traditional double glazing in that instead of using air or gas to insulate, it creates a vacuum between glass panes to limit convection and conduction – providing significantly better energy efficiency, thermal performance, reduced heating costs and carbon emissions while improving temperature consistency indoors.
HaanGlas VIG also boasts a Low-E coating to increase energy efficiency further by reflecting infrared heat while still permitting visible light through. Furthermore, this Low-E coating helps minimize UV radiation that could otherwise fade interior furnishings or flooring over time.
VIG offers an attractive alternative to conventional high-performance glazing that requires extensive structural modifications for installation; instead it’s extremely thin and can be retrofitted into existing buildings without compromising design flexibility, making it the perfect solution for historic renovations as well as new construction projects seeking to meet stringent energy performance standards.
Noise reduction
HaanGlas VIG windows provide a way to minimize noise pollution from traffic, neighbors and outdoor sources like airports or construction projects. Boasting better Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) ratings than standard double pane windows, they can turn homes in high noise areas into peaceful retreats.
Comparable to slimline double glazing, VIG delivers superior insulation and acoustic performance due to its vacuum layer between glass panes. Furthermore, its lack of gas fill means no energy loss through convection; while traditional IGUs may leak over time; VIG’s vacuum gap retains its powerful insulating properties for decades.
VIG offers architects an effective means of lowering the carbon footprint of their building. The advanced glass requires less framing than standard double and triple-glazed units, thus decreasing structural loads significantly and making installation and handling simpler, potentially eliminating logistical hurdles during construction.
Durability
HaanGlas VIG provides superior thermal insulation and energy efficiency, making it the ideal choice for retrofitting windows in existing buildings and reducing energy demand and operational costs for building owners.
vacuum insulating glass offers exceptional durability and long-term savings when replacing windows, while still being suitable for historic properties without altering their appearance or impacting planning regulations.
Vacuum-sealed glass prevents moisture ingress and condensation between panes, which is often an issue with standard vacuum double glazing. This helps ensure high thermal efficiency and exceptional acoustic performance – combined with Solarban 70 solar control low-e glass by Vitro, this product further boosts energy efficiency performance of an IGU (insulating glass unit).
Lightweight
HaanGlas VIG windows provide an innovative lightweight alternative to conventional double-glazed windows. Utilizing innovative void technology between glass panes that is free from air and gas molecules, HaanGlas VIG effectively blocks heat transfer while significantly increasing energy efficiency.
Vacuum insulation between glass minimizes convective heating and cooling, making it the ideal choice for passive house designs. Furthermore, it has lower carbon footprint than traditional glass options while offering excellent stability over gas-filled units which may eventually leak.
VIG windows boast excellent acoustic properties, making them an excellent choice for upgrading historic windows. By blocking outdoor noise from traffic and other sources, they create an environment of peace inside. Outperforming standard double-glazed windows in terms of STC and OITC ratings, VIG creates a calmer experience inside.
VIG windows are significantly thinner than traditional double-glazed windows, making retrofitting into existing window frames much simpler and ideal for listed buildings or older homes where maintaining original appearance is key. Their slim profile also reduces load on frames thus decreasing stress and prolonging their longevity.
