I realize this is an old video but, as a glazier I can promise you that what you call "thermal glass" is not a failing technology. I currently have the ability to order double glazed sealed units (two glass bonded together with a spacing material) that have an R value of 10 and a UV inhibitance of greater than 80%. The set up you have here has an R value of 1 and a UV inhibitance of 0%. I'm not feeling your math here .....
@@jackEnglishmachines sorry, not literal math in this instance. Simply from a factual stand point I cannot agree with your statement on the glazing in this door. If it is your preferred method that's fine but qualify it as such. In any case, it's a very beautiful door you have crafted in this video.
@@tenflat2009 first of all, I would suggest that you read up on historical windows and their proper our value assessment. At minimum it would be R2 . common insulated. Glass units are three or four our value which isn't a significant amount of insulation. The ones you speak of are extremely expensive and not the common product that is affordable to the customers and when we consider the money spent on the windows the only people saving on energy costs are the when you manufactures after the 20 year warranty and the seals fail. I am in Ottawa and in extreme cold weather -30 degrees Celsius, insulated units, frost, or caused major, condensation around their perimeters sweat on the windows and generally rot out anything but vinyl. So let's forget them for architectural details. In fact, Pella used to make a unit that was not thermally sealed that had blinds and louvers in the middle. if we are to equate the thermal property of glazing, it is virtually nothing anyway and so a better way to go is not having to replace your windows every 20 years.
@@jackEnglishmachines I'm in northern Alberta so I'm well aware of our Canadian winters. The R4 you speak of is the lowest grade of sealed unit without argon either. Double clear with argon and a metal bar spacer is an R5-6 depending on surface. Using any other spacer and UV glass will bring it up significantly. The unit I was talking about is a "Cadillac" unit for sure but it's value for the size in question would be roughly double what you payed for your raw glass. It isn't as expensive as you think or your glass shops are looking to make a ton of money in markups.
just stumbled across this ... great detail
would love to see some detailed videos on the construction of the window sash!
I haven’t spent much time on RUclips here but if you follow me on IG I virtually post every day. Will be doing a huge series of windows this summer
@ 0:33 "You can't get Adam for burglary" 😂😭😂😭
Great detail!
Pretty the guy under it is in for good too:-0)

LOL no he can get out

what math are you referring to?
