Insulated Glass Blinds

Product Description

While "Insulated Glass Blinds" generally refers to blinds integrated within a sealed double or triple-pane glass unit, specifications can vary significantly between manufacturers and product types (Venetian, pleated, honeycomb). However, here's a breakdown of the typical specifications and considerations:

I. Overall Unit Specifications:

• Glass Type:
  • Double Glazed: Two panes of glass with a spacer bar and sealant.
  • Triple Glazed: Three panes of glass with two spacer bars and sealant (for enhanced insulation and soundproofing).
  • Glass Thickness: Typically ranges from 4mm to 8mm per pane, but can vary.
  • Glass Options: Clear, Low-E (for energy efficiency), tempered (for safety), laminated (for security and sound reduction), tinted, obscure, etc.
• Spacer Bar:
  • Material: Aluminum is common, but "warm edge" spacers (non-metallic or with thermal breaks) are increasingly used to improve thermal performance.
  • Width: Determines the air gap between the glass panes, typically ranging from 6mm to 25mm or more. Wider gaps can improve insulation.
  • Desiccant: Included within the spacer to absorb moisture and prevent condensation.
  • Gas Filling: The cavity between the glass panes is often filled with an inert gas like Argon or Krypton to further enhance thermal insulation and reduce heat transfer.
• Overall Thickness of the Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) with Blinds: This will depend on the glass thickness, spacer width, and the type/thickness of the integrated blinds. It can range from around 20mm to over 35mm.
• Sealing: High-quality sealant (primary and secondary seals) is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the IGU, preventing air and moisture ingress, and ensuring the longevity of the blinds.
