Pulp Studio’s Ombra Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) acts as a shading device as well as a sound barrier. With an architectural wire mesh core sandwiched between tempered glass lites, the window panels can reduce the amount of transmitted light by half. The IGU’s architectural mesh comes in five patterns with solar heat gain coefficients ranging from 0.14 to 0.54. Offered in a maximum size of 60″ by 120″, the IGU has a standard STC rating of 36, which can increase to 49 with glass and airspace customizations. www.pulpstudio.com
