glasrutor

Glasrutor are panes of glass used in windows and doors. They are typically made from soda-lime glass and produced using the float glass process, which yields flat, uniform panes that can be cut to size and fitted into frames made of wood, metal, or plastic.

Common types of glasrutor include uncoated or coated panes for solar control, tempered safety glass (heat-treated for increased strength and to break into small pieces rather than sharp shards), laminated glass (two or more panes bonded with an interlayer such as PVB to hold fragments together and improve sound insulation), and insulating glass units (IGUs) consisting of two or more panes separated by a spacer and sealed to reduce heat transfer. Many glasrutor also feature low-emissivity coatings to reduce heat loss while maintaining daylight transmission.

Glass rutor vary in thickness, edge finish, and may be tinted or reflective to alter appearance or performance. They provide daylight, visibility, and exterior protection while contributing to energy efficiency and safety. However, glass rutor are fragile and require proper installation and maintenance; damaged glazing should be replaced to preserve performance and security.

Safety and building regulations in many regions require safety glazing for glazing in certain locations, such as near doors, low-lying areas, or large panes. European and national standards address requirements for tempered or laminated glass in specific applications, and regional building codes influence selection and installation of glasrutor.

Glasrutor are commonly installed in residential and commercial buildings, as well as in skylights and façades, making them a fundamental component of modern construction and design.
