Q-Air economics in a nutshell Imagine triple pane unit having: exterior solar control pane, intermediate, toughened inner safety glass pane, with 3 added 2 mm float glass, Low-E panes.

Expansion chamber Exterior glass flattens due to internal gas pressure, which is a known issue of thick multipane glass units. Q-Air is commonly equipped with a dedicated, flexing expansion glass and a breathable innermost chamber. In this way, climatic stress to the unit is reduced. Insulating-gas filled chambers are connected through small holes to equalize the pressure. All Q-Airs always use exterior solar control glass and intermediate Low-E coated glass panes spectrally matched to reduce the intermediate pane heating in the summer. Mitigating intermediate pane heating allows for the use...
