Manufacturing Process for Insulated Glass Units All IGU’s manufactured and supplied by Northern Express Glass are bespoke to the customer’s specific order, depending on the glass type, thickness, size and decorative requirements. Taking the lead from today’s energy conscious society, and as a result of legislation change, sealed units are now produced using glass with highly complex low emissivity coatings. Whichever glass is required, it will be cut on a fully automated Hegla Cutting Station. Once cut the glass is washed to remove any grease marks or finger prints, and the spacer bar complete with primary sealant applied. In years gone by spacer bars will have been made from aluminium or steel, however the demand for more energy efficient units, and advances in technology, warm edge spacers made from more thermally proficient materials have almost become the norm. The glass with the spacer bar are then placed into a press to ensure the primary sealant is completely intact around the perimeter of the unit. The unit is then placed into a chamber containing argon gas, as opposed to dehydrated air, to further improve energy efficiency. Finally the unit is visually inspected and the secondary edge seal applied.
