Common Flaws of Insulated Glass Units

Posted by

From the Desk of Alex

Today, I focus on Insulated Glass units and the many, many potential flaws that are looked for during fabrication.

The images below will show you the different components and their potential problems.

In order:

  • Secondary Seal: Silicone
  • Secondary Seal: Hot Melt or the ugly old Butyl word
  • Primary Seal: PIB line on box spacers
  • Box Spacer
  • Soft Spacer

Let’s not forget that we have have the right glass, free of all of it’s potential own flaws added to this mix.

Anyway, just thought it would be worth a share.

Enjoy,

Alex
