Glass Options

Glass packages impact your heating and cooling costs, as well as security, acoustics and more. Customize your windows for desired performance and to meet ENERGY STAR® guidelines in any region.

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

5500 Design Options

Cam Locks

The cam lock pulls your window sash together to keep it locked, secure and weather resistant. Cam locks are found on double hung and sliding windows.

Nesting Crank Handle

Casement and awning windows feature a convenient nesting handle that folds neatly away into the base and a multi point locking lever that secures the window.

  • Triple-pane Glass

    Three panes of double strength glass create two separate air spaces for optimal thermal performance and interior comfort.

  • Sound & Security Glass

    Laminated glass consists of a durable interlayer sealed between two layers of glass that withstands forced entry, greatly reduces unwanted sound and deflects up to 99% of damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause interior fading.

  • Privacy Glass

    Obscure glass has a textured pattern to maximize privacy while allowing ample natural light into your home.

Choose architecturally inspired grille profiles and patterns to highlight your home’s character. Grilles are placed between the glass to create a smooth, easy-to-clean surface on the inside and outside of your home.
