Polyvision® + IGU
What is an IGU? Insulated Glass Units are made up of two or more lites of glass with an airspace between them. The two lites are separated around the border of the glass by a spacer, which is then sealed together with the lites to create one unit. By having a laminated inboard, an insulated… Continue reading Polyvision® + IGU
