The quick response is as follows: \u00bc\u201d (6mm) laminated glass has an approximate winter nighttime U-Value of 1.02 while a 1\u201d (25mm) insulating glass unit made with clear glass and with no coatings of any kind has an approximate winter nighttime U-Value 0f .47. Laminated glass is a safety glass product and can be used in insulating (double glazing) assemblies. Tempered glass would also qualify as a safety glass in single or double glazed assemblies. It is suggested that you contact and work with a trusted glass shop in your area for additional information and assistance in choosing the right glass product for your project.<\/p>\n<p>-Glass Detective<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: What is the thermal rating for laminated glass compared with double glazing?
