DESIGN & FABRICATION
Preventing IG Failures
This manual provides insulating glass manufacturers with
best practice recommendations and guidelines to use for
testing, fabrication, packaging, shipment and glazing of
insulating glass units to assist in achieving long term
performance and to minimize seal failure using existing
technology for edge seal design along with selection of
sealants, desiccants, spacers, gases, glass and other
components used for the manufacture of insulating glass.
