Double Glazing
There are five key factors involved in making energy efficient windows:
-
glass type
-
cavity size
-
frame design and material
-
triple or double glazing
-
cavity filling gas
With the uprating of the Building Regulations requiring significantly higher energy efficiency levels from glazing units, many businesses will be looking at gas-filling as a cost-effective way to improve performance.
Because the thermal conductivities of argon and krypton are much lower than air, they are both ideal for keeping U-values low in sealed double-glazing units, either in combination with each other or with air.
BOC can provide argon, krypton and xenon gases for sealed unit manufacture in a range of cylinder sizes to suit customer preference - and as liquid for larger customers where required. As these are inert gases with low conductivity, they can be used to uprate the thermal performance of sealed units without adversely reacting with the high tech desiccants and sealants used in today's state-of-the-art glazing units.
