Making sure insulating glass units (IGUs) meet high standards is essential for both manufacturers and installers. The gas fill level in IGUs is key to providing good thermal performance and energy efficiency. Without the right tools to test them, maintaining window quality becomes a matter of guesswork.
One of our distributors recently demonstrated how Sparklike Handheld ensures reliability by testing newly installed windows in their own apartment. The specifications of the windows were 6 mm low-e / 16 spacer/ 4mm+4mm with lamination. The results highlighted the critical role of gas fill level verification in maintaining consistent quality.
The Scenario: Real-World Testing in Action
After the installation of new windows, our distributor used the Sparklike Handheld device to measure the argon gas fill level in the IGUs. The goal was simple: verify whether the installed units met the expected standards of quality.
The testing process was quick and non-invasive, allowing immediate results without the need for disassembly or complex procedures. This streamlined approach makes it ideal for both field and production line quality control.
The Results: A Tale of Two Units
Window 1: The first test confirmed an acceptable gas fill level, ensuring the window met the thermal insulation requirements. This result showcased the importance of verifying IGU quality for consistent performance.
Window 2: However, the second test revealed a significant deviation from the desired gas fill level, which would have gone unnoticed without Sparklike Handheld. Such deviations can compromise energy efficiency and customer satisfaction in the long term.
The findings emphasized the value of regular quality control to avoid costly errors and ensure end-user satisfaction. Window quality in this case varied which highlights how there is still room for improvement in the insulating glass and window industry.
Why Testing Matters: A Manufacturer’s Perspective
For manufacturers and suppliers, delivering IGUs with the correct gas fill levels is crucial to building trust and ensuring product reliability. Sparklike devices, like the Handheld, empower companies to verify the quality of their products with precision, reducing risks of performance issues or warranty claims.
By proactively addressing inconsistencies during production or installation, manufacturers can maintain their reputation and build long-term relationships with customers.
