Gas fills measurably improve thermal performance of any
glazing system.
Argon Gas:
  • inhibits radiant heat transfer & sound waves
  • sunlight stable, non-corrosive and nontoxic
  • chemically inert to UV radiation

Krypton Gas:
  • lowest conductivity of any gas used
  • raises the inner glazing temperature
  • inert to glass coatings, heat and spacers
  • performs best in small chambers, therefore we recommend Krypton gas fill in our ComforTech™ triple glazed units
  
The ENERGY STAR® Program was created by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to make it easy for consumers to choose the most energy-efficient products. The ENERGY STAR label given by the U.S. EPA and the U.S. DOE identifies NFRC certified products that exceed federal energy efficiency standards.
ENERGY STAR Products
Offer You:
  • Savings on heating and cooling costs
  • More comfort in your living space
  • Added value to the appraisal of your home
  
   
 

National Fenestration Ration Council (NFRC) is a non-profit, public/private organization created by the window, door and skylight industry. NFRC's primary goal is to provide accurate information to measure and compare the energy performance of window, door, of skylight systems.

  
NFRC Label Displays:
  • U-FACTOR: How well a window or door
    keeps heat inside a building
  • Visible light transmittance: How
    much light gets through a product
  • Solar heat gain: A product's ability to
    block warming caused by sunlight
  • Air leakage: Heat loss and gain by
    infiltration through cracks in the window
    or door assembly
The P-1 test is considered to be the world's toughest
durability test. All units are put into hot boxes and are
continuously exposed to 140° F, 95-100% humidity and
constant UV bombardment. Each week of testing is
equivalent to one year of field use. 		 

Is Less Condensation Important?

In winter, many people humidify their homes. If they didn't,
health and complexions would suffer. However, increasing
humidity can cause window condensation.

Condensation can be caused by traditional, highly-
conductive metal spacers, leading to lower perimeter
edge temperatures.

  • Juvenile health problems have been linked to mold
  • Over time, will stain wood, peel paint and rot frames
  • Causes or contributes to mold growth
  • Looks unsightly

What is The Solution?
The NO-Metal
Advantage!

Keep the moisture off the
glass, through the warmest
inside surface temperatures
possible		 Full Metal Spacer

With conventional
metal spacers,
condensation
is a fact of life.
Less Metal Spacer

Mid-performance
spacer systems that
still contain metal
improve condensation
resistance.

All-foam design dramatically reduces interior condensation, delivering a clear view.
