Toughening Glass To Vig Standard

Increasingly rigorous building codes are driving the development of new technologies for improved energy performance in glass products. One new technology that holds considerable structural interest is vacuum insulating glass (VIG). Vacuum insulating glass (VIG) has been in the marketplace for years, but the range of potential applications has been limited by the lack of industrial scale production technologies. In recent years, however, considerable research and development has been focused on developing commercially viable production methods. It has now reached the point where VIG is produced on an industrial scale, and some of the biggest projects are running into thousands of square metres of VIG.
