U value (thermal conductivity) can be reduced up to 0.9-0.6 w/m2k in triple glazed insulating units that are preferred for improving the heat insulation more in very cold climates. The surface temperature of internal pane and the ambient temperature inside the building are very closed. And this reduces the condensation risk lower. With the use of different type of glasses (solar control glass, laminated glass) can be created multi-functional combinations.
At Ardıç Glass facilities, according to the customer demands, triple glazing combinations can be performed successfully.
To achieve the optimum performance and the best apperance, the thickness of external glasses and the space widths are recommended to be the same.
