Glazing

In Plain English

Glass and window systems used in buildings, including windows, curtain walls, and skylights.

Definition

Glazing refers to glass or other transparent or translucent materials used in windows, doors, skylights, and curtain walls, along with the systems used to install and support them. Modern glazing systems use insulated glass units (IGU) with multiple panes and low-emissivity coatings to improve thermal performance. Glazing selection significantly impacts building energy performance and daylighting.
