How Do You Measure the Thickness of Double-Pane Glass?
Short
answer: use a glass thickness meter that reads a sealed double-pane unit in
place. A tool such as the EDTM Glass-Chek PRO reports the thickness of each
pane of glass, the air space between them, and the overall unit thickness from
a single measurement, with no disassembly.Key Takeaways•

Glass Thickness Gauge Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Tool for Your Shop
A glassthickness gauge tells you what is actually in a window before you quote,
order, or install: the thickness of each pane, the air space between them, the
overall unit thickness, and in the right models, the type and location of a
Low-E coating. The right gauge saves you from ordering the wrong insulat...
Glass Thickness Gauge for Glaziers: How to Verify Glass Before Ordering Replacement IGUs
Before you
order a replacement insulating glass unit (IGU), you need to know the glass
thickness, the air space, the overall unit thickness, and the Low-E coating
type. A glass thickness gauge from EDTM, the Glass-Chek PRO (GC3001), measures
glass, air space, and overall thickness and detects ...
Glass Thickness Tolerance Testing in Manufacturing: How to Verify Specs With a Glass Thickness Meter
Tolerance
testing compares what you built to what the spec says you should have built. A
glass thickness meter does the measuring half of that job: the EDTM Glass-Chek
PRO (GC3001) reads glass thickness, air space, and overall IG unit thickness,
and identifies Low-E coating type and location, ...
Can You Measure Glass Thickness Without Removing the Window?
Yes. A
handheld glass thickness gauge measures glass and air space thickness in an
installed insulated glass (IG) unit without removing the window. Laser gauges
like EDTM's MG1500 MIG measure from a single side with no additional tools, and
meters like the Glass-Chek PRO test windows already installed in ...
GC3200 vs. GC3001: Which Glass Thickness Meter Is Right for Your Workflow?
If you are
shopping for a glass thickness meter, you will find that EDTM
offers two handheld models: the GC3200 Glass-Chek ELITE and the GC3001
Glass-Chek PRO. Both measure glass and air space thickness, identify Low-E
coatings, and test a window from one side. So which one do you actually need?This guide...
MIG Thickness Gauge for Insulated Glass: How to Measure Glass and Air Space Accurately
A MIG
thickness gauge measures glass and air space thickness in sealed insulating
glass units. MIG stands for Manual IG Thickness Gauge. Laser reflections off
the glass surfaces appear on the gauge's graduated scale, and the distances
between those reflections give you the thickness of each pane and the a...
What Is a Glass Thickness Gauge and How Does It Measure Glass and Air Space?
A glass
thickness gauge is a handheld meter that measures the thickness of each glass
pane, the air space between them, and the overall thickness of an insulated
glass unit. It reads from one side of the window, so you can test installed
windows and order the correct replacement IG unit without guesswork....

Understanding Low E, VLT, and Glass Performance: A Beginner's Guide
Low E, VLT, and glass performance describe different characteristics of a window.
Low E refers to a low emissivity coating designed to influence radiant heat transfer through glazing.
VLT, or Visible Light Transmission, describes how much visible...

How to Identify Low E Glass Windows
Why Identifying Low E Glass Matters
One of the easiest ways to make the wrong recommendation is to assume you know what type of glass is installed.
Two windows may look identical.
Both may appear clear.
Both may have similar reflectivity.
Yet one could have a Low E coating while the other does not.
