Vetreria Re, active in the design, processing, and creation of architectural glass elements since 1989, offers its clients the use of double glazing in residential and professional settings for doors, windows, and French doors, as well as for shop windows, banks, insurance agencies, commercial businesses, or public premises in general. Characterized by a structure consisting of two or more layers of glass sealed together with an air space in between, double glazing (or insulated glass units) can be of various types depending on the required characteristics.
Different Types of Double Glazing
In fact, there are:
-
Low-emissivity double glazing, with high thermal insulation power, granted to the insulated glass by the presence of an insulating film on the glass surface or by the use of insulating gas (such as argon, xenon, or krypton) inserted in the cavity instead of simple air;
-
Shatterproof double glazing, capable of guaranteeing a higher level of security thanks to the application of a specific shatterproof film that combines insulating performance with the ability to protect against vandalism, smashing attempts, break-ins, or robbery.
Thanks to their technical characteristics, double glazing is ideal for application on fixtures, for the creation of partitions and dividing walls, as well as for shop windows, public premises, banks, etc.
Inherently capable of providing excellent performance, the characteristics of double glazing can be further optimized with structural interventions aimed at minimizing heat dispersion through the fixtures to achieve good thermo-acoustic insulation, and therefore energy savings. Double glazing offers numerous advantages, including the ability to guarantee acoustic silence and thermal insulation, optimizing energy savings. Furthermore, from an aesthetic point of view, double glazing features a design capable of harmonizing with various environments, allowing light to filter through without overheating the rooms, thus ensuring maximum comfort.
Double Glazing: Other Applications
Furthermore, double glazing—also called insulated glass units due to the cavity between the two glass layers—is capable of offering good levels of protection against attempted break-ins, theft, smashing, and robbery. Shatterproof double glazing is perfect for shop windows, banks, commercial businesses, and public premises. Finally, thanks to the passive safety guaranteed by the glass’s ability to break without shattering into dangerous pieces, double glazing allows for the creation of internal partitions and dividing walls to separate multiple rooms without obstructing lighting. At an affordable price, double glazing guarantees excellent technical and aesthetic characteristics, especially when designed and installed by expert glaziers like those collaborating with Vetreria Re, which has been active for over twenty years in Italy and worldwide, specializing in a high-quality finish for doors, windows, fixtures, shop windows, and partitions.
