Many new glass processing company or the new IGU manufacturers are concerns with the cost of producing insulating glass, this is the first step to consider about IGU.Double Glazed Glass Production Cost Analysis,Double Glazing Machine,Insulated Glass Production Cost Analysis.
There are glass, spacer, butyl, molecular sieve, silicone and argon in one piece of IGU. As the machine price, labor cost, glass price, electricity, air and water cost are different due to different countries and area, so we only consider the rest items used in IGU, like: spacer, butyl, molecular sieve, silicone and argon.
Before we calculate the cost, we need to know the price of those items and used quantity in each sqm IGU.
