Product applications

• Hotels & buildings, especially those with high heating or cooling needs.
• Airport control towers and other such environments which require regulated atmosphere and condensation prevention.
• Laboratories and other buildings that require temperature and humidity controls.

Choice of Sash
A) Always choose a sash with groove wide and deep enough for a standard installation.
B) The sash should have holes for water drainage.
C) As Double Glazing Units are double the weight of monolithic glass, it is important to support them with a strong enough sash.
D) The sash used must not have an uneven groove as this will lead to uneven support. Support which prevents optimum performance from the GP Double Glazing Units.

Avoiding Thermal Cracks
A) Thermal cracks may occur if heat absorbing glass or wired glass is used.
B) Vents of heating and cooling systems should not directly face the GP Double Glazing Unit to avoid thermal cracks from occurring.

Storage
A) Keep the GP Double Glazing Units indoors in a well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight when storing on-site
