What Is Vacuum Insulated Glass? 

Thanks for getting the word out! That was a great rundown of the product.

Im still surprised no one is making a vacuum insulated steel 4x8 panel using this same design but with a honeycomb structure in the cavity for structural strength. An insulated steel panel that interlocks with other panels could make up the entire thermal envelope of a residential home. With enough design R&D I can imagine over time the panels replace the exterior siding and possibly interior wood framework making an all in one structure where the panels are your load bearing walls, your roof, your insulation, your siding, your interior walls....Everything. Of course you would probably need different kinds of spray on coatings and different methods of attaching stuff to the interior/exterior walls....Where there's a will there's a way.

It is a nice VIG manufacture. Amazing to see it there.

Very much would like this for lightweight sliding glass doors!

This is a fantastic drop in replacement for monumental properties, which currently only have single pane glass.

Thank you for showing it.

This is insanely cool and can't wait for it to hit the residential market!

Looks like an excellent product, not coming fast enough for me doing windows replacement pretty soon, so far looking at Soft-lite windows and Simonton windows.

I own a company that restores old steel windows and doors and its extremely difficult to find insulated glass that fits the profiles of these types of windows. So many of these beautiful windows are being replaced because we cannot find any insulated glass that will fit!

great stuff thanks

It looks like a great product. I'm sure R-16 is better than my walls!

Hello, my VIF/C vacuum cleans my floor, and ceiling, and now. I don't have to vacuum clean anymore. It also pulls out the heat from both areas and I save on the AC air costs.

I also live in the UK and vacuum glass has been available to the public for some time.

Great presentation! Note 8.3 mm = 5/16" (not 3/16")

The "getairs" are passive? Because if so, how do they not break the second law of thermodynamics?

Nice product. In Europe we have FINEO vacuum glass. Nearly the same like you showed here, but without evacuation port and with 15 years of warranty.

I hope you get the contract and make it available to your customers

I've often wondered why we don't just use polycarbonate for windows. It is 200% stronger and 50% lighter than glass and is more insulative than glass. Oh, and it's cheaper than glass. Polycarbonate will not break (it is actually used for bullet proof glass). Polycarb is also 100% UV protective. The main disadvantage is it scratches easier than glass, but this can be overcame with coatings applied to it. If you wear eyeglasses, there is a good chance your lenses are made of polycarbonate.

Vacuum glass is the most energy-efficient glass product available, and LEADUS, a company based in China, provides vacuum glass products and technology.

Is it suitable for hot areas in middle east
