Cabot Aerogel recently introduced its newest daylighting system, Insulated Glass Units with Lumira™ aerogel (formerly Nanogel® aerogel). Architects and building owners can now design with the sought-after beauty of glass without the traditional sacrifice of poor thermal performance. 

These units provide:

  • Maximized daylighting potential
  • Significant reduction of conductive heat gain/loss
  • Full spectrum diffused light
  • Superior thermal performance values 
  • Complete water resistance
  • Outstanding durability


The initial product offerings include a system that can use virtually any specified glass. With U-values as low as 0.05 Btu/hr. ft2°F. Visual light transmittances controllable in a wide range, and near perfect Light Diffusing Power (LDP) of 0.95. Designed to work with standard framing systems.
