The design is encrypted in alphabetic and digital notations. The formula of a double-glazed window reflects the main properties and characteristics of the materials used during assembly.

What is the thickness of double-glazed windows for plastic windows?

How to correctly decipher the formula, the characteristics of a double-glazed window, find out the meaning of the abbreviations used, and consider an example:

The value in brackets is the total thickness of the glass unit. The formula always starts with the street (exterior) glass.

The first number is the thickness of the glass used, then a dash indicates the width of the spacer frame, then the thickness of the inner glass, a hyphen indicates the width of the frame spacer again, and the last value again indicates the thickness of the glass.

By type of glass unit:

  • SPO
    - single-chamber double-glazed windows, contains 1 chamber (SPO 4-16-4);
  • SPD
    - double-glazed window, 2 chambers are used (SPD 4-10-4-10-4).

Glass brand:

4M1 - The highest quality glass is considered to be M1, a brand of colorless sheet glass, 4mm. and more. The use of glass of smaller thickness for double-glazed windows is not recommended.

Glass comes in high standard and medium standard. According to GOST 111-90, quality is divided into 7 categories - from 1 to 7. The higher the digital index in the designation, the lower its quality. Complies with European standard EN 572-2

Characteristics of the M1 brand:

Glass has the least optical distortion and few structural defects;

  • the number of glass air bubbles with a diameter of up to 1 mm per m2 is no more than one;
  • with a diameter of up to 2 mm - no more than 1,
  • length of hairline scratches – no more than 100 mm;
  • the total number of defects (“glass defects”) is no more than 4 per m2;
  • deviations in sheet thickness - no more than 0.2 mm;
  • the coefficient of directional light transmittance of 4 mm glass is 0.88.
  • 1 year warranty on all types of work and materials.
  • Affordable prices and flexible discount system.
  • 100% fulfillment of warranty and post-warranty obligations.

Is multifunctional glass harmful or beneficial for plants?

The possible harm of sprayed glass to the growth of home flowers and seedlings worries many amateur gardeners.

For the growth and development of any plant, sunlight is necessary, however, plants react equally poorly to both a lack and an excess of sunlight.


Photo: tomato seedlings require 5700-6200 lux for 14-18 hours. If there is not enough light, the plants begin to stretch upward, the shoots become thinner, the leaves decrease in size, and their color turns pale. The soil dries out more slowly and the roots of the plant may rot.

If there is too much sunlight, the leaves droop, curl, turn yellow, or develop brown spots from sunburn. The soil dries out quickly and requires frequent watering.

How much light is required for normal plant growth and is multifunctional glass capable of providing it?

For normal plant growth, illumination of at least 3000 lux for shade-tolerant plants and 8000 lux for sun-loving plants is required. Tomato seedlings, for example, require 5700-6200 lux for 14-18 hours.

Conclusions:

  • The growth of plants depends to a greater extent on the direction of the world (the difference is up to 5 times for south and north), which the windows are facing, rather than the type of glass. Multifunctional glass reduces the level of ultraviolet radiation needed by plants, but its amount is quite sufficient for normal growth.
  • The level of illumination on the south window is sufficient all year round with any glass, including multifunctional glass in a 2-chamber double-glazed unit.
  • The daytime light level on the windowsill on windows oriented to the north, east and west is sufficient for sun-loving plants and seedlings when glazed, both with simple glass and multifunctional.
  • South-facing windows with multifunctional glass protect plants from sunburn in summer. The temperature on the inside of a double-glazed window with multifunctional glass will always be comfortable for plants. Even if the leaves touch the glass, they will not get burned on a summer afternoon and will not get frostbite in the winter cold.
  • To grow strong, healthy seedlings in early spring, it is necessary to use phytolamps to extend daylight hours in any glass.

New generation multifunctional glass – Energy Light from AGC

Energy Light has won the hearts of architects and homeowners thanks to its improved thermal and solar control properties. The glass cuts out 57% of harmful solar radiation and is 50% warmer than conventional float glass. Energy Light has a neutral shade of glass, so the color rendering will not change - the colors outside the window will be natural.


Photo: Energy Light has won the hearts of architects* The light transmittance of Energy Light based on Crystalvision * is as close as possible to ordinary glass and is 65%, which allows it to be used in any real estate.

The trend for using glass in neutral, discreet shades is clearly evident in modern architectural projects. Stylish appearance and high consumer characteristics are two convincing arguments in favor of choosing Energy Light glass for glazing the most famous projects, when it is necessary to solve both technical and design problems at the same time.

Types of filling the chambers of double-glazed windows:

The chambers between the glasses can be filled with different gases; the absence of markings (blank) means that the chamber is filled with dry air:

  • A (Ar) - reflects the presence of argon;
  • Kr – krypton filling;
  • Xe – xenon gas is used;
  • Sf – filling with sulfur hexafluoride.

Distance frames:

If the frame is not further indicated in the formula, then it is standard aluminum. Its width varies from 6 mm to 30 mm.

  • TR, S (PVC frame) or PV - warm spacer frames based on a plastic profile, used in the production of thermal packages;

Multifunctional glass - what is it?

Multifunctional glass – glass with second generation coating (2.0). It replaced energy-saving i-glass and k-glass. The emergence of glass with multifunctions can be considered the next stage in the development of the glass industry. A double-glazed window with multifunctional and energy-saving glass is similar in heat conservation to or superior to thick concrete walls. Sun protection features add to the appeal. The popularity of coated glass in modern architecture is explained by their unsurpassed properties.

Photo: multifunctional glass is in demand in private housing construction. The demand for innovative glazing solutions is also growing from private consumers. Houses and apartments with panoramic windows are becoming increasingly popular - the eye no longer rests on a concrete wall, the space is visually larger, and the feeling of well-being in such real estate is always more comfortable.
