This calculation references: AS/NZS 4666:2012 – Insulating Glass Units

“The life span of IGUs may be significantly reduced if they are installed incorrectly. In addition, manufacturer’s warranties against seal failure may be invalidated if the insulating glass unit is installed incorrectly. Therefore, it is important to ensure the glazing system is suitable.” – AS/NZS 4666
