There are 6 automatic IGU production lines (with modern equipment from "Lisec" and “Bystronic” companies) situated on the territory of the plant. Total production capacity can reach 6000 IGUs a day.
Insulating glass — is a sealed unit, that consist of 2 or more glass sheets, glued together with a special sealant with the spacer between them.|

Insulating glass units and mounted directly onto the facade. Primary used for glazing of commercial buildings. |
The glass unit is mounted in a window frame (plastic / wood / aluminum). It’s majorly used for glazing of residential buildings. |
| It has a sophisticated structure and include tempered glass, laminated glass, colored glass, enamelite, electrically heated glass within the insulating glass unit as well as fastening elements. | The unit is made of two or three (depending on the number of chambers) usually monolithic glass sheets. |

Laminated glass within an insulating glass unit
The use of laminated glass as a part of insulating glass unit significantly expands its functionality. "AKMA" produces the following types of isulating glass:
|
|
|
|
|
Impact- resistant |
Burglar- resistant |
Bulletproof |
Explosion- resistant |
|
|
|
|
|
Electrically heated IGU |
Noise insulating IGU |
Insulating glass made with Smart-glass |
Fireproof |
Types of glass that can be used within insulating glass units:
- colorless float-glass;- energy-efficient Glass;
- solar control glass (multifunctional);
- sun-protection glass ;
- tinted glass;
- reflective glass
Depending on the glass used, the insulating glass unit may have the corresponding functionality. It will maintain a comfortable indoor climate and aesthetic effect.
