Must Learn About Restoration Glass

05/14/2025

Restoring commercial glass doesn't just involve fixing obvious damage; it also involves preventing further deterioration that can become costly down the line. Even minor flaws on windows may eventually crack, shatter or otherwise degrade over time if left undetected without careful scrutiny.

Proactive measures exist that can prevent commercial window damage from becoming an inevitable catastrophe. Selecting suitable window glass and developing a comprehensive maintenance plan capable of combatting environmental elements like sun and wind is crucial; other effective solutions include restoration window glass and protective coatings.

HaanGlas VIG glass provides an effective solution to improve both performance and aesthetics in historic buildings with single-pane windows, by replacing single-pane or tinted glasses with an insulated window designed to fit seamlessly into existing frames, thus maintaining architectural integrity and exterior beauty of a building while decreasing heating/cooling costs and carbon footprint. VIG provides improved energy efficiency through reduced heating/cooling costs and carbon footprint reduction.

VIGs insulation properties rest upon their vacuum gap between panes. To achieve this effect, VIG uses a micro-sized evacuation port that eliminates gas filling between glass panes which compromises its insulating properties. A getter then seals in this space as an insulator against heat conduction and convection. VIG offers excellent insulation properties that make it a top choice for commercial glass restoration projects with single pane glass buildings, providing significant energy savings and reduced operational costs by replacing original glass with VIG replacement glass.

VIG comes in various shapes and sizes to fit most existing windows, and its insulating properties can be enhanced further with the addition of Low-E coating to its glass surface. This invisible layer acts as insulation while reflecting infrared energy back into the room - keeping temperatures warmer in winter than summer while simultaneously decreasing UV radiation that could otherwise fade interior surfaces and furnishings.

Comparable to standard glass, VIG can be up to four times stronger and has an extremely lower coefficient of thermal conductivity (CTC). Furthermore, VIG is three times less resistant to deformation and ten times more resilient against damage from broken shards of glass; further increasing its insulation properties when coupled with tempered glasses.

HaanGlas stands out from its competition by using an evacuation port-free vacuum insulated glass (VIG). This makes it more aesthetically appealing for homeowners who place priority on aesthetics, while its four times stronger flexural strength compares with non-tempered VIG products for added safety and strength.

HaanGlas VIG glass is also tempered to increase durability; this factor should be taken into account when replacing historic window panes as sudden breakages can result in additional damages to frames and seals. Finally, its fully annealed nature ensures strength and resilience; over time it won't deform over time. HaanGlas VIG glass' superior performance can also be attributed to its lack of an evacuation hole and non-leaded proprietary metal edge seal, both designed to improve durability and withstand atmospheric pressure - ensuring long-term performance and long life cycle costs. Furthermore, this product comes in various shapes and sizes, making it suitable for replacement in virtually every heritage window design.

Note that the price of a VIG unit depends on several factors, including its location and severity of damage. A small spot on a one-story building typically costs less to repair than one in an office complex of 20 stories, though cost will rise if damage is in a hard-to-reach spot, or equipment is required to access damaged glass surfaces.
