U-Value
A measurement of heat transfer due to outdoor/indoor temperature differences. It is used almost exclusively to describe the heat loss though a material. Technically, it represents the amount of heat passing through a square foot of glass in one hour for every 1 degree Fahrenheit temperature difference. The lower the U-value, the less heat transfer.
Unit
Term normally used to refer to one single assembly of insulating glass.
Urethane
An adhesive/sealant system or "kit" used on late model vehicles for glass installations which are required to enhance the strength of the installation and/or the overall structural integrity of the vehicle.
