What are Super Tuff's double glazed units and what are they used for?
Super Tuff's double glazed units trap a gas or air cavity between two panes of toughened or laminated glass, creating an insulating barrier for heat and sound. They can be made in a wide range of shapes and sizes for use in building facades and insulated spaces, and are produced on Super Tuff's automated, jumbo sized glass sealing line for a consistent finish, which the company notes is critically important for frameless glass or toggle glazing systems.
Where are Super Tuff's double glazed units used?
- Glass Walls
- Roof Glazing
- Glass Box Extensions
- Eco Glazing
- Windows
- Glass Floors
- Glass Doors
What is the technical specification of Super Tuff's double glazed units?
- Maximum Unit Size: 6000mm x 3210mm
- Gas Fillings Available: Air, Argon or Krypton
- Ug Values of 1.0W/m2K to 1.4W/m2K
What is a triple glazed unit and how does it differ from a double glazed unit?
A Super Tuff triple glazed unit adds a third glass panel to create a second gas cavity, improving thermal performance at the centre of the pane compared with a double glazed unit. Internal panels with low-e coatings reflect heat back inside the unit, allowing Ug values as low as 0.5W/m2K. A toughened or laminated glass panel is typically used in the centre position, separating the two gas cavities.
What additional performance options can be added to Super Tuff triple glazed units?
Super Tuff can pair triple glazed units with performance glasses or coatings to improve efficiency further. Solar control glass can be applied to an outer panel to reduce solar radiation, and a low maintenance coating can help reduce cleaning on hard-to-reach units. Privacy glass, heated glass, bullet-resistant glass and Sentry interlayers can also be considered where extra performance is required, and the exact specification depends on the application, framing solution and location of the glass.

How is the Ug value of a Super Tuff sealed unit calculated?
The Ug value, or centre-pane thermal performance, of a Super Tuff sealed unit depends on the glass specification, the spacer bar used, the gas filling and the size of the unit, so it is calculated per unit. Super Tuff states it can calculate this figure for use in SAP calculations or Building Regulations compliance, with double glazed units typically ranging from 1.0W/m2K to 1.4W/m2K and triple glazed or jumbo units typically ranging from 0.5W/m2K to 0.9W/m2K.
