Warmer, quieter, drier
Alu-Value · West Rand · Est. 1996
A sealed insulated glass unit puts two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them into a single sealed unit. That gap is what cuts the heat transfer, the outside noise, and the condensation. We supply and install double glazing across Krugersdorp and the West Rand, in new aluminium windows and doors or as a retrofit into suitable existing frames. Warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and noticeably quieter inside.
Overview
Single-pane glass is one of the weakest points in a South African home. It lets heat pour out on a cold West Rand morning, lets it flood in during a Highveld summer afternoon, does almost nothing to block road or neighbourhood noise, and runs with condensation when the temperature swings. Double glazing solves all of that with one change to the glass. A sealed insulated glass unit, also called an IGU or SIG unit, bonds two panes of glass around a spacer with a sealed, dry air or gas gap in the middle. That trapped layer is a poor conductor, so it dramatically slows the heat moving through the window and damps the sound coming through it. Alu-Value supplies and fits double glazing across Krugersdorp and the West Rand, both in new aluminium windows and doors and as a retrofit into existing frames that can take the thicker unit. With electricity costs climbing, the comfort and the lower heating and cooling load make double glazing one of the most worthwhile upgrades you can make to the glass in your home. Every unit is fitted by our own team, sealed correctly so it stays clear, and backed by our 2-Year Installation Guarantee. The work is carried out and certified by our family glazing company, a SAGGA and AAAMSA accredited member, and can be specified to SANS 10400-XA energy requirements.
The problem
A single pane of glass is a thin, conductive barrier. In winter it pulls the warmth straight out of the room, in summer it lets the heat in, and it carries outside noise almost unbroken. When warm indoor air meets that cold glass, it sweats, and the condensation runs down onto sills and frames. Heating and cooling the room harder just sends money out through the glass.

Questions clients ask
It is two panes of glass bonded around a spacer bar with a sealed, dry gap between them, all forming one sealed unit. The trapped layer of air or gas in the middle is a poor conductor of heat and sound, which is what gives double glazing its insulation and noise benefit. It is also called an IGU (insulated glass unit) or SIG (sealed insulated glass) unit.
