The insulated glass unit thickness depends on the type of product and combination, varying from 0.708” to 1.417” (18 - 36 mm). The thicknesses of the glass panes used range from 3/32” to ¼” (2.3 – 6.0 mm) and are offered as annealed, heat treated, tempered or laminated.

Glass. The most energy efficient type of glass for double and triple glazing is low emissivity (low-E) glass. Low-E glass has a microscopically thin coating of metal oxide on one of the internal glass surfaces. This coating reflects heat back into the home but still lets in the light from outside.

A standard one inch insulating glass unit comprised of 2 lites of ¼” thick glass and a ½” airspace weighs approximately 6 ½ pounds per square foot.

Standard Glass Sizes Contemporary building projects that use insulating glass units (IGUs) in their facades typically adhere to obtaining raw float glass with a standard size of 96" x 130" (approx. 244 cm x 330 cm).
