SIGNA SYSTEM BENEFITS


THE SIGNA SYSTEM SAVES

Use of, or conversion to, double insulating glass can save 40-75% of energy lost through the glass area. Furthermore, triple insulating glass can save as much as 50-90%. The insulating glass will also eliminate condensation or frost on the glass in cold weather. The savings depend on the materials utilized in the installation process.

INSTALLATION

The installation is usually accomplished from the inside with minimum inconvenience to the location and its tenants. The SIGNA SYSTEM provides service for office buildings, apartments, condominiums, and single family homes; as well as commercial, industrial, and institutional construction.

CONDENSATION & INCREASED COMFORT

There is no condensation in the cavity and on the inner surface of the glass. Stains and moisture are entirely eliminated. By double glazing with this method, heat is more evenly distributed throughout the room, reducing drafts and making the entire area equally more comfortable.

SOUND INSULATION

The double-glazing provides a noticeable degree of sound insulation, as does any hermetically sealed unit. The sound insulation will increase with the use of heavier thicknesses of glass.

NO CONSTRUCTION CHANGES

No new frame or modification to the existing frame is required. There are no changes in the architectural look of a building. The existing sheet of glass is used which saves time, expense, and mess. All types of windows open easily and fully as before.

LOWER COOLING EXPENSES

Using a reflective glass or sun reflective coatings, the solar penetration can be cut down as much as 80% compared to clear glass. That means a savings in the costs of cooling and air conditioning.

FLEXIBILITY

Any sized window unit can be retrofitted. Any type of glass can be used in the retrofitting process. Conversions of all types of frames and window styles are possible.

CLEANING

There are still only two surfaces to wash instead of possible four or six as with other methods of insulation.

DISTRIBUTION & SERVICE

Signa has a network of licensees throughout the country. In this way a Signa Associated company is always close by, and can offer services without delay caused by delivery from an often distant factory. Urgent replacement for breakages can be obtained in a matter of hours.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING SIGNA INSULATING GLASS?

Insulating glass will eliminate drafts, condensation and frost on the glass area, water damage to the resident’s property and neighbors below. It reduces noise from the outside and frost or condensation on the metal framing will be reduced, if not totally eliminated.

Sound Insulation

Noise pollution is a serious issue, particularly when living in an area with high levels of air traffic or busy roads. Too much noise can be damaging to health (increased stress, disrupted sleep). It can hinder academic learning and concentration.

GAS FILLED UNITS

The purpose of gas filling is typically to reduce the heat transfer and improve the energy efficiency of the insulating glass unit. Gas filling can also be a means of reducing the sound transfer through an insulating glass unit and improving the acoustical properties.
