Thermal Insulation Materials (TIM)
Thermal performance can be enhanced with a Low-e coating applied directly to the inside face of glass. When greater performance is required a thermal insulating material can be inserted into the cavity of a double glazed wall system. These thermal insulating materials can bring the U-Value of the system down to as low as 0.19.
