Datasheet IGU [Insulating Glass Unit]
![Panelite, IGU [Insulating Glass Unit]](http://www.architonic.com/imgMcnMfm/panelite180/IGU_TO-8_756_b.jpg)
The Panelite™ IGU combines the transparency, durability, and weather-resistant nature of glass facings with the
directionally translucent, customizable properties of our tubular polycarbonate honeycomb core to produce an
innovative solution for glazing and curtain wall applications. It is a non-combustible unit certified for both exterior and interior applications. The IGU is based on the concept of a standard Insulating Glass Unit, with the addition of honeycomb core to provide the benefits of visual privacy, a lively aesthetic, and improved thermal performance.
Panelite™ IGUs may be customized to meet a broad range of performance and aesthetic requirements.
PANEL COMPOSITION
Standard Unit Composition:
1” overall unit thickness
Inboard Lite: 1/4” clear tempered glass
Interior: 1/2” airspace with clear Panelite™ tubular polycarbonate honeycomb core
Outboard Lite: 1/4” clear tempered glass
CORE OPTIONS: TUBULAR POLYCARBONATE HONEYCOMB
Cell diameter: 1/8” or 1/4”
Standard core thickness: 1/2”
Standard colors: Clear, Orange
Special order: White, Black, Bright Green, Light Blue, Blue, Raspberry. All colors UV-stabilized. Longer
lead times and minimum orders apply to colored cores and glass.
FACING OPTIONS: GLASS LIGHT
Laminated (1/4”, 5/16,” 3/8”,7/16”,1/2” and 9/16”)
Tempered (3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2”)
Custom colored PVB interlayer (laminated glass only).
Standard Glass colors: bronze, grey, green, blue, and white
Acid-etched, low-e coated glass
Ceramic frit patterns
PANEL DIMENSIONS:
Units are produced to specified dimensions per project
Maximum dimensions 48” x 120”
Panel thickness is subject to unit composition
MINIMUM ORDER: 500 SF for standard units, 2000 SF for colored core units
TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE
THERMAL PERFORMANCE:
See chart at left for comparative thermal performance of standard unit. For increased insulating properties,
Panelite can provide low-e coatings and/or argon filled units.
STC RATING (ACOUSTICAL): 31
While the standard Panelite™ IGU already provides an excellent sound barrier, specified STC requirements
can be met by adjusting the glass composition and airspace/core ratio.
FIRE RATING:
Class A, non-combustible
WIND LOAD
Up to hurricane force wind-load requirements may be met using specifically designed glass composition
CERTIFICATION:
Developed, manufactured and tested in accordance with IGCC and ISO 9001:2000 specifications, the Panelite™ IGU is certified for both exterior and interior applications. A dual-seal construction, IGCC certified and CBA rated, provides excellent resistance to MVT (moisture vapor transmittance) and to UV degradation. All glass used in Panelite™ IGU fabrication is tested and certified per ASTM1036 [float glass], ASTM 1048 [heat treated, tempered glass] and SGCC (heat-treated glass.)
INSTALLATION:
Panelite IGU’s are compatible with most commercially available storefront and curtainwall systems
The Panelite™ IGU carries a 10-year limited liability warranty. Please inquire regarding project-specific technical requirements.
