LandVac’s heat-soak-treated fully tempered vacuum glass boasts the lowest spontaneous breakage rate in its industry. Thanks to its thin structure and ultra-long lifespan, it draws in visitors. Many have noticed its exceptional performance!

Safety

SGCC certification indicates that glass meets industry standards and has been rigorously tested to ensure its safety. This feature is essential for building designers as it ensures the glass won’t break easily upon impacting another surface; it also helps prevent injuries should shattered pieces fly into the room. With such rigorous inspection standards in place, you can rest easy knowing your glass has met these highest requirements.

Comparative to air or argon gas-insulated windows, vacuum-insulating glass windows are more durable and longer-lasting, potentially saving money on repair and maintenance costs over time and increasing resale value for when it’s time to sell your home. Furthermore, vacuum-insulated windows are more resistant to UV radiation, rainwater, and wind exposure damage since their seals don’t crack or leak over time – saving both repair and maintenance expenses as well as potential repair bills in the long run.

Vitro LandVac vacuum insulated glass meets both durability and energy efficiency requirements, helping achieve LEED certifications while simultaneously cutting your energy usage by up to 50%.

LandVac products are fully tempered to provide additional safety features that are not found in standard windows. This tempered glass is suitable for high-rise curtain wall projects as it can withstand significant wind pressure without risk of breakage, thermal shocks, moisture corrosion, and chemicals that are no match against it. It is also moistureproof. Furthermore, its heat soak treatment prevents spontaneous breakage. LandVac’s SGCC certification makes this type of glass more durable than standard tempered glass solutions while meeting the requirements of American and Canadian buildings for safety glazing materials.

Durability

SGCC glass is designed to meet specific safety standards and undergoes stringent testing, ensuring it fragments into small, relatively harmless pieces upon breaking, which significantly decreases the risk of serious injury from sharp shards. Furthermore, this material has proven its durability by withstanding weathering, environmental conditions, and other elements, making it suitable for projects in complex environments.

Vitro Glass’ tempered vacuum insulating glass, LandVac, has become increasingly popular due to energy code updates and increasing demand for green buildings, but what truly impressed visitors at their booth was its durability. Certified to the SGCC specifications for safety standards, it uses low temperatures instead of glass annealing in its metal edge sealing process for enhanced resilience against wind loads and seismic activity.

Vacuum insulation provides comfortable living spaces while reducing energy requirements for heating and cooling a building. This saves money and emissions and improves the quality of life for those who reside in air-conditioned rooms.

LandVac, certified by SGCC, can be used alone or as a replacement for monolithic (single-pane) glass in traditional glazing systems, window frames, or curtainwall applications. Furthermore, LandVac serves as an interior lite in double or triple-glazed insulating glass units (IGUs) by creating additional airspace to maximize insulation performance.

Versatility

SGCC-certified vacuum insulating glass’s versatility is apparent in the many projects it can be used for. From windows and doors to partitions and balustrades, both new construction and renovation projects can benefit from using it, as it makes an aesthetically pleasing architectural element.

Tempered VacuMax VIG can be used as an interior lite in double or triple-glazed insulating glass units (IGUs), compatible with all framing systems. It may also be integrated into hybrid IGUs, where it provides an insulating gas space alongside traditional low-e or solar control glass panels.

Laminated SGCC glass is often utilized in commercial settings such as offices and schools where security is an important consideration. Laminated SGCC is notoriously difficult to break, providing added levels of protection and acting as a deterrent against attempted entry. Furthermore, its design allows it to shatter into tiny, less harmful pieces to minimize injury risks caused by sharp edges.

SGCC-certified glass offers enhanced security and energy efficiency benefits. When combined with low-emissivity coatings to reduce heat transfer and improve thermal insulation, it helps create stable indoor temperatures without as much reliance on heating or cooling systems.

Tempered SGCC glass used in IGUs can increase R-values up to five times those of monolithic glass and twenty times those of conventional insulated glazing, helping achieve zero air leakage – crucial in minimizing energy waste and heat loss. SGC fabricates its VIG products from heat-soaked, fully tempered safety glass certified according to ISO 9002 quality standards for IGU use; for more information, please contact the Vitro Architectural Glass sales team.

Enhanced Security

Vacuum-insulated windows not only save homeowners weight and hassle, but they look better, too! In addition to being lightweight, vacuum-insulated windows also look much nicer than their air or argon counterparts and require much less maintenance to keep them clean than traditional window systems, which may help save significant amounts over time. As there’s no condensation between panes that causes mold or deterioration, these vacuum-insulated systems require significantly less money spent on cleaning costs over time compared with standard systems and could save considerable amounts in energy costs over time, too.

SGCC-certified vacuum insulating glass stands out from traditional window systems with its enhanced security features, particularly its more difficult breaking through and laminated protection from forced entry. This makes SGCC glass an excellent option for residential windows, skylights, and canopies.

SGCC glass is ideal for display cases and shelving units because it’s easily cleaned, provides excellent transparency to display products or exhibits, is extremely strong, and is unlikely to cause injury if broken; rather than shattering into large chunks as traditional glass does, SGCC breaks into tiny granules instead.

Vitro Glass has joined forces with LandGlass and VIG Technologies to be the exclusive provider of their vacuum-insulating glass (VIG). This advanced technology boasts thermal insulation performance 2-4x better than conventional units and 14x better than monolithic ones, leading to outstanding R-values. All VIG units are always tempered for safety; hybrid configurations may also be made available based on project-specific needs.

Energy Efficiency

vacuum-insulated glass windows offer homeowners a reliable long-term investment option. Boasting an expected lifespan of 30 years or longer and supported by industry-leading warranties, vacuum windows make an exceptional addition to any home. Furthermore, SGCC-certified vacuum insulating glass helps lower energy costs by maintaining consistent temperatures without mechanical ventilation systems requiring regular adjustments.

SGCC-certified vacuum-insulated glass offers superior thermal performance compared to traditional IGUs and monolithic glass, boasting R-values up to 14x higher than conventional glass. This can result in significant energy savings and decreased carbon emissions compared with similar configurations with standard IGUs.

Additionally, SGCC-certified vacuum insulating technology facilitates the use of advanced coatings and substrates such as Solarban(r) 70 solar control and low-e glass by Vitro glass—two new glass technologies that offer greater energy efficiency with fewer layers and materials while increasing transparency, noise reduction, extreme dew point resistance, and durability.

Innovative developments in SGCC-certified vacuum-insulated glass are leading the way toward more eco-friendly architecture. Some recent breakthroughs include self-cleaning glass that utilizes special coatings to break down organic dirt and rinse away residues without needing chemicals or buildings that integrate photovoltaic cells, producing electricity while remaining transparent – energy efficiency that significantly contributes to project sustainability and lower operating costs.
