Energy Glass is a new generation of energy saving window glass that uses an advanced coating to retain more internal heat and to absorb free energy from natural daylight, designed for use in a double glazed unit.

glass that uses an advanced coating to retain more internal
heat and to absorb free energy from natural daylight,
designed for use in a double glazed unit.
Energy Glass has a unique combination of metallic layers,
which reflect heat back into a room, to keep heat within a
building. At the same time maximising the amount of natural
light coming in. As more heat is retained, it means less is
required to warm up the home to the desired ambient
temperature, in turn lowering energy consumption.
3. Many homeowners today are looking for ways they can
contribute to global energy-efficiency and reduce energy
costs.
Energy-efficient glass is an excellent place to start. The
glass you select is the single most important component
when considering energy efficient windows and patio
doors.
Innovations in window and door glass coatings and
insulated glazing assemblies enable today's windows to
provide excellent
energy
efficiency, clarity and
performance.
4. Two of the most important innovations are double glazing and
Low-E glass.
Double Glazing
Triple Glazing
Low-E Glass
5. Features and Benefits
Low E insulation with a choice of solar control performance
for residential applications
Provides a straight forward energy efficient alternative to
ordinary glass
Durable pyrolytic Low E coating ideal for single glazing
Low reflectivity
Can be toughened for Grade A Safety glass
Suitable for most standard single glazed window frames.
6. Flat Glass Industries is a leader in value-added processing
and wholesaling of glass and architectural glass hardware for
the building and manufacturing sectors.
We cover the complete spectrum of glass to commercial and
residential industries – from float to laminated and toughened
safety glass to energy efficient, insulated glass units
available in glazed, reflective, mirrored, painted, pattern
screen-printed & low emissivity combinations.
7. And FGI Group is committed to going green – adopting
environmentally friendly practices and supplying leading
edge glass products which deliver outstanding energy
efficiency and performance.
Insulated Glass Units / Energy Efficient Glass
AN IGU (INSULATED GLASS UNIT)
Consists of two or more panes of glass bonded to both sides
of an aluminium spacer(s) by both a primary and secondary
seal to create one unit. The encapsulated space between the
panes of glass may be filled with Argon gas to increase the
insulating properties of the double glazing units.
8. Low-Emissivity (Low – E) glass
Has a thin metallic coating on the
glass that reflects thermal
radiation or inhibits its emission
reducing heat transfer through
the glass (similar to SmartGlass).
Low E glass reflects the radiation
rather
than
absorbing
it,
improving performance, resulting
in a lower U-value. The lower the
U-value
the
better
the
performance.
9. Insulated Glass Units
Combined with Klymet Shield Low E
Glasses delivers the optimum in energy
efficient glass performance.
FGI energy efficient glass is ideally suited for:
• Office Buildings
• Factories
• Homes
• Public Venues
• Commercial or Residential
• Small to Large Projects
