What is the difference between the U-value of glass and U-value of glazing?

What will be an ideal response?


U-value of glass refers to that of glass alone. Glazing comprises glass and its frame. If the frame consists of a highly
conducting material such as aluminum, the U-value of glazing is higher than that of glass. With wood framing, the
opposite is the case. Therefore, in a glazing, the U-value at the center of glazing represents the U-value of glass.
