Insulating GlassInsulating glass (also referred to as insulated glass) refers to two or more lites of glass sealed around the edges with an air space between, to form a single unit. 

Commonly referred to as an “IG unit,” insulating glass is the most effective way to reduce air-to-air heat transfer through the glazing.  When used in conjunction with low-E and / or reflective glass coatings, IG units become an effective means to conserve energy and comply with building codes. 

The most common architectural insulating glass unit configuration is 1/4" glass / 1/2" air space / 1/4" glass.
