Chile sits squarely on the Pacific Ring of Fire, operating under strict seismic construction codes (NCh433). Traditional double or triple glazing solutions provide reasonable insulation but introduce significant dead weight to structures. Heavy glazing increases lateral inertia forces during seismic events, necessitating massive and expensive concrete and steel frames.
Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) solves this architectural conflict. By creating a vacuum gap of just 0.1mm to 0.3mm between two tempered glass sheets, VIG achieves structural thermal performance (U-values below 0.5 W/m²K) that outperforms triple glazing, yet matches the thickness and weight profile of single glazing. This weight reduction drastically cuts down seismic frame requirements, leading to significant structural cost savings for high-rises in Santiago, Concepción, and Valparaíso.
Under Chile's Ministry of Housing and Urbanism (MINVU), thermal insulation standards have tightened significantly. In regions subject to Atmospheric Decontamination Plans (PDA) like Temuco, Padre Las Casas, Chillán, and Coyhaique, building envelopes must meet aggressive thermal transmittance thresholds to combat winter particulate matter pollution caused by firewood heating.
Traditional double glazing falls short of these advanced mandates unless paired with highly specialized framing and gas fills that degrade over time. Zerothermo's vacuum-insulated glass offers a permanent vacuum seal that does not suffer from gas leakage, ensuring a continuous thermal barrier that exceeds local standards for the entire lifecycle of the building.
| Glazing Technology Type | Average Thickness (mm) | Thermal Transmittance (U-Value W/m²K) | Weight Performance (kg/m²) | Lifespan Stability & Gas Leaks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Monolithic Glass | 6 mm | 5.8 | 15 | No degradation (No insulation value) |
| Standard Double Glazing (Ar-Filled) | 24 mm (6-12-6) | 2.6 - 2.8 | 30 | Prone to argon gas leakage (1-2% annually) |
| Standard Triple Glazing (Ar-Filled) | 36 mm (4-12-4-12-4) | 1.6 - 1.8 | 45 (Heavy structural load) | High manufacturing complexity, eventual seal failure |
| Zerothermo Vacuum Insulated Glass | 8.3 mm (4-0.3V-4) | 0.4 - 0.5 | 20 (Lightweight) | Permanent metallic edge seal, no gas degradation |
While Chile possesses advanced glass processing networks, the high capital requirements and complex metallurgy required for vacuum-tight edge sealing mean that localized mass production of VIG is not yet available.
