I have a few insulated glass units that have failed edge seals. They are like the old Hurd Superglass (triple glazing) which claimed R-6 center of glass. Mine was made by Wilmar in Canada.
I was hoping to salvage one by removing the edge seals and ending up with two sheets to use in a single glazed low mass sunspace. If the Superglass is Low E, which I do not know, am I using the wrong kind of glass for the sunspace? Is it a Low E coating and is it "removable"? Would it be on both sheets or is the Superglass single Low E coating? If only one Low E sheet, which sheet. inside or outside will be Low E?
Thanks for all your help!
