What is gas filling

Understanding Sealed Units

Sealed units are essential components in modern glazing, playing a pivotal role in thermodynamic performance within various building applications. By incorporating inert gases like argon between glass panes, these units not only enhance insulation but also contribute to greater energy efficiency.

The Benefits of Argon Inert Gas Filling

One of the most notable advantages of using argon in sealed units is the significant improvement in thermal performance. Specifically, argon-filled sealed units can enhance energy performance by approximately 0.1 W/m²K. This improvement reflects a substantial decrease in heat transfer, which ultimately leads to a more energy-efficient environment.

Combining Low E Glass with Argon

For optimal results, sealed units are often used in conjunction with low emissivity (Low E) glass. Low E glass features a coating that reflects heat back into the building, while the argon gas provides an additional layer of insulation. The combination of these two technologies results in a marked reduction in energy costs and improved indoor comfort.
