Insulated Glass

GCI offers insulating glass units from 7/16" (9mm) to 1" (25mm), with a maximum thickness of 1 5/16" (33mm) for sloped glazing. A variety of glass combinations of clear, tint, high performance (pyrolitic and vacuum deposited) reflective and Low-E is available as annealed, heat-strengthened or tempered glass.

GCI offers a variety of insulating glass make-ups depending on the end use. Our insulated glass is fabricated on a Lisec automated vertical production line, which produces the flattest and least distorted insulating glass units possible.

Dual Seal: polyisobutylene (butyl) primary seal; secondary seal of polysulfide for most applications and silicone for structural glazing. Silicone must be specified.

Edge Spacer:  aluminum continuously bent and mechanically joined along the straight section providing the highest spacer frame integrity with air or argon filled air space.

Desiccant:  molecular-sieve formulated for maximum absorption of moisture.

Glass Types:  AFG, Guardian, Pilkington, PPG, and Visteon glazing select quality q3 float glass products.
