 T IQ Glass™ eliminates all the difficulties and disadvantages that are caused by the thermal insulation capacities of glass. The heating glass surface eliminates the sensation of cold draft, it prevents surface condensation, it compensates the loss of temperature through the glass surfaces and it makes snow and icing on the outside of the window melt when setup for that purpose. Creating comfort is one of the main advantages of heating glass.

  • When the heating system is switched on, the heat losses are smaller than those of a traditional glass system. In a traditional house, they are about 32 % to 38 % lower and 7 % to 15 % lower in conservatories
  • In conservatories, the need of heating depends mainly upon the comfort experienced by the users
  • The radiant comfort that is created by IQ Glass™ is, for an equivalent air temperature, much more comfortable than a much higher temperature
  • The need of effective heating in a conservatory with IQ Glass™ is significantly lower than the calculated quantity
  • The U-value increases when outside air temperature goes down, because the considerable temperature differences cause a convection stream in the krypton blanket between both glass panes
  • Since the U-value of heated glass increases with the heating capacity, it is to be recommended in spaces with important glass surfaces: about 1/3 of the floor surface for houses and 1/2 of the floor surface for conservatories
