VacuMax Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG)
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Vitro Architectural Glass
Product Description:Vitro Architectural Glass has enhanced its VacuMax Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG), delivering improved thermal performance and aesthetics. The VacuMax Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG) operates by using advanced vacuum technology to deliver superior thermal insulation. Each unit consists of two 4mm (0.16") glass panes separated by a thin vacuum space, which effectively eliminates thermal transfer through conduction and convection. This vacuum layer is sealed with a proprietary non-leaded metal edge to maintain its insulating properties over time. To enhance energy efficiency, the latest version of VacuMax VIG integrates Solarban 70 solar-control, low-e glass, which significantly improves thermal performance by reflecting heat while allowing natural light to pass through. Known for its insulation properties, the updated VacuMax VIG now features Solarban 70 solar-control, low-e glass, boosting U-values by 79% and achieving wall-like R-values up to R20. These upgrades set a new standard in thermal efficiency while offering a cleaner aesthetic with concealed ports and “getters.” Each unit consists of two 4mm glass lites separated by a proprietary non-leaded metal edge seal and vacuum space, with a total thickness of just 8.3mm. This slim design seamlessly integrates into traditional glazing systems, window frames, or curtainwall applications. Sizes range from 12” x 12” to 60” x 118”, providing flexibility for diverse projects. Suited for retrofits, VacuMax VIG often replaces monolithic glass without major modifications, offering insulation three to five times better than conventional insulating glass and 20 times better than standard glass.
