Which glazing method is designed to limit heat conduction?

The method designed to limit heat conduction is thermally insulated extrusion. This approach involves using materials that have low thermal conductivity to create a barrier against heat transfer. Thermally insulated extrusions are specifically designed to minimize the flow of heat between the interior and exterior environments, thereby enhancing energy efficiency in buildings.

This method serves as an effective means of insulation, reducing energy costs associated with heating and cooling. The use of such extrusions helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while contributing to the overall sustainability of the building.

In contrast, single glazing does not provide any insulation barrier, making it less effective in limiting heat conduction. Double glazing offers better thermal performance than single glazing, but it does not utilize the same level of insulation as thermally insulated extrusions. Low-E glazing focuses on reducing the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that passes through glass without compromising visible light, which may assist in limit heat gain but does not insulate as effectively as thermally insulated extrusions.
