Impact-resistant laminated glass consists of a durable interlayer sandwiched between two layers
of glass that offers increased
safety, sound control, UV
protection and energy effciency. |
Dual-pane windows consist of
two pieces of glass with air or
gas between the two panes to
create a sealed insulating glass
unit. Dual-pane insulating glass units can come in 3/4", 7/8" or 1" widths. |
Triple-pane glass features a
single-strength pane of
glass surrounded by two
double-strength panes which creates a 1" insulating glass unit. |
Low E Coated Glass
Low E coatings reflect infrared light keeping heat inside in the winter and outside in the summer.
It can also reduce fading of carpet, artwork and photos by helping block damaging ultraviolet rays.

LoĒ³-366® is an advanced, spectrally selective glass that offers the ultimate in solar heat control, fading protection, visibility and energy
savings. The 12-layer patented formula features three layers of silver to provide maximum insulation. |
Spacer Systems
A spacer system keeps a window and door’s glass panes the correct distant apart and is designed to reduce heat transfer at the edge of the insulating glass unit.
 |
 |
 |
| The Intercept® spacer system offers a U-channel design that keeps glass warmer and flexes and contracts for reduced seal failure. |
The Supercept™ spacer utilizes the U-channel design, but is made of a stainless steel alloy that offers increased durability and thermal efficiency. |
The non-metallic foam Super Spacer® is non-conductive and increases energy efficiency by helping provide a tight seal. |
