Answers for your questions.
With double-glazed windows the sealed air space between the panes of glass has a big effect on energy performance. A very thin air space does not insulate as well as a thicker air space because of the conductivity through that small space. If the air space is too wide, however, convection within the glazing will occur and degrade the insulative qualities. The material that separates the two panes of glass in an insulated glass unit is called the spacer.

Does window films cause seal failure when applied to Insulated Glass (IG) Units?

Window Tinting Services for the Los Angeles Area
No, window films do not cause seal failure. All of our Huper Optik and Panorama films are IG unit safe. When recommended films are applied to the inside pane of an (IG) unit, there will be some absorption (except with clear safety films) of the sun's energy, which will increase the temperature of the glass pane. Some of this heat will transmit to the airspace, slightly raising the airspace temperature.

Why do insulated or thermal glass units fog?

Lee & Cates Glass - Questions - Frequently Asked Questions
All insulated glass will eventually fail. The manufacturing process seals two pieces of glass together with a vacuum created in the center that produces the insulating effect. Assuming proper installation, ultraviolet rays and moisture are the major reasons for seal failure, which allows water infiltration causing the unit to fog. Lee & Cates Glass provides a limited 5-year warranty on insulated glass. Top

U.S. Inspect: Professional Home Inspection - House Facts, WE...
insulated glass seal is a window made up of two or more layers of glass held together in a track or frame. A gasketed channel separates the two pieces of glass, and the space between the panes is filled with a moisture-free, inert gas such as nitrogen. When a gasket fails, the inert gas between the panes escapes to the exterior of the window and regular, moisture-laden air is drawn into the space.

Unfortunately replacing an existing grid with the Clear View defroster can be problematic. It can be difficult or impossible to fully remove the existing defroster from your vehicle.

Do I really need the warm-edge insulated glass spacer or is the old design aluminum spacer adequate?

FAQs
A .Sun Windows uses a warm-edge spacer system on all window and door products. This spacer reduces the conductivity of the insulated glass edge by 75% over old design aluminum spacers and produces more even glass temperatures over the entire insulated glass area. The result is a warmer glass unit that is less susceptible to glass stress.
