• Superior insulation
• Triple paning
• Far easier cleaning
• Longevity
• Protection of actual art glass (pollution, bugs, weather elements, cleaning chemicals, oils from the skin, exterior moisture other than weather)

According to the National Insurance Institute, the best way to protect your investment is by insulating or triple glazing the art glass using clear or tempered glass to the enter and extera sides of the art panels. This process is called triple glazing or insulating. Not only does this process protect the art glass from the elements, it slows the natural deterioration of the materials used in fabricating a stained glass piece.

In order to properly insulate the art glass, the piece must be thoroughly cleaned and free of debris. Next, the protective glass must be properly scrubbed, rinsed and meticuously cleaned. Once these processes are completed, the panel is ready to be insulated. To ensure air tightness and moisture resistancy, a proper high quality spacer must be used. At Accent Art Glass we use the highest quality desicent foam, that incorporates the latest in warm edge technology. This foam prevents moisture build up between the two panes and greatly reduces transference of temperature from the exterior to the interior of the unit.

At Accent Art Glass we go the extra mile by sealing the edges with a natural cure silicone sealant to double insure a worry free unit. By doing all of these steps you will be able to simply enjoy your beautiful art glass panel knowing the skill, knowledge and patience that created it.

The standard IG unit is generally 5/8 OA thickness, but can be insulated up to 1 1/2" to meet any unique specification that you may have.
