ProSolar® Low - E Glass
-
Standard
Pro Solar® Low-E Glass helps keep warm air in during the winter months. In summer, it helps deflect external heat and retains cooled air.
-
Optional
Pro Solar® Shade Low-E Glass offers superior solar control and insulating performance, making it ideal for warmer climates with more intensive interior cooling needs.
-
Optional
ProSolar® Sun Low-E Glass lets in the warming sun’s rays while blocking heat loss, helping to keep homes warm in cooler climates that require more energy to heat.
Gas Fill
Standard
Argon gas (six times denser than air) is sealed between the glass panes to increase insulation and reduce energy loss.
Optional
Upgrade to Krypton gas (twelve times denser than air) for maximum thermal efficiency.
Glass Upgrades
-
Triple - pane Glass
Three panes of double-strength glass create two separate air spaces for exceptional thermal performance and interior comfort.
-
Sound & Security Glass
Laminated glass consists of a durable interlayer sealed between two layers of glass that resists forced entry, significantly diminishes unwanted sound and deflects up to 99% of damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause interior fading.
-
Double - strength Glass
Double-strength is more resistant to breakage than single-strength glass and offers increased sound control.
-
Safety Glass
Heat-strengthened tempered glass is stronger than regular glass and safely breaks down into pebbles if broken. Tempered glass is often a building code requirement for use in bathrooms and windows near the floor.
-
Privacy Glass
Obscure glass has a textured pattern to maximize privacy while allowing ample natural light into your home.
-
Tinted Glass
Bronze or gray tinted glass helps control solar heat gain and reduce glare and visibility into your home.
Gas Fill
Standard
Argon gas (six times denser than air) is sealed between the glass panes to increase insulation and reduce energy loss.
Optional
Upgrade to Krypton gas (twelve times denser than air) for maximum thermal efficiency.
Spacer Systems
Glass panes are separated by a spacer system, which helps seal in functional gas and create an airtight seal.
Standard
Intercept® spacer system helps keep glass warm and expands and contracts for reduced seal failure.
Optional
The Supercept™ spacer system utilizes a stainless-steel alloy that offers increased durability and thermal efficiency.
Optional
The non-metallic foam Super Spacer® is non-conductive and virtually eliminates temperature transfer.
