Sparklike’s customers include insulating glass producers, window and door manufacturers, IG line producers, testing laboratories, energy engineering and construction consultants real estate developers and building owners.
Since they all operate in the same industry, they face the same challenges, one of which is verifying gas fill rate that impact the quality of the glass. An insulating glass unit without insulating gas can have up to 30 percent lower U-value than with gas filling over 85 to 90 percent.
In 2023 Sparklike did a customer survey to understand its customers better. This included insight how Sparklike devices are perceived and what are the drives to purchase.
Glass industry’s requirements creates pressure to quality assurance
In the survey, there where five answers, in addition to an open field to write own answer. Based on these results, the most common reason to invest in Sparklike’s gas measuring devices was to meet industry requirements and legislation. After that was achieving higher quality standards for glass and to meet customers’ demands.
Gas content is a significant factor in improving the energy efficiency of insulating glass and therefore an important part of global energy saving efforts. This explains why one motive to monitor gas level of IGUs is to improve and prove product’s energy efficiency.
The fifth reason to purchase was gaining a competitive advantage by overachieving industry standards for product quality.
