Description

Insulating Glass Units (IGU’s) commonly made as Double Glazed Units (DGU/DG), are becoming more commonplace in domestic and commercial buildings to provide improved insulation, comfort, condensation and noise control. In fact, proposed NCC 2022 changes suggest the need for double glazed units in several colder states as code minimum on new residential builds. However, specifiers need to understand the principles of IGU’s and the limitations these place on design.
