The
higher the R-Value
number, the better its performance. R-Value
is the number which determines the insulation
quality of the window. |

The
warmer the glass the better it resists condensation.
Indoor glass temperature comparisons are
determined using controlled exterior conditions
at 0° F with winds at 15 MPH. |

The
higher the percentage of reflected UV light, the
better its performance. Reflected Ultra-Violet
light unwanted fading of fabric and draperies. |

Performance
Insulating Glass
Insulating glass has become the
industry's choice for reducing heating and cooling bills.
Compared to ordinary single-glazed windows, Thermal Industries'
sealed insulating glass can reduce the loss of furnace-generated
heat by more than 50 percent. Performance Insulating
Glass is standard on all Dreamspace® Window Series.
Peak
Performance Insulating Glass
Peak Performance combines PPG's
best Soft Coat Low Emissivity (Low-E) Glass with Argon gas
to provide superior insulating benefits. Argon, an odorless,
colorless, environmentally safe gas, replaces the ordinary
air found between most Low-E glass panes. Peak Performance
creates a less conductive unit, giving you superior insulating
performance and year-round comfort. And added benefit
is the protection of your valuable draperies, carpets, and
furniture because Peak Performance blocks the sun's damaging
ultra-violet rays.
Super
Peak Performance Insulating Glass
The ultimate in energy-efficient
glass is Super Peak Performance. This revolutionary
breakthrough from Thermal Industries' Research and Development
Lab offers you an insulating glass system with a Super
8.13 R-Value. Using an exclusive triple layer of PPG's
best Soft Coat Low-E, double-layer Krypton gas and triple
thermal break spacer-edge construction, this innovative
"energy management" system provides eight layers of superior
performance to...
 |
Maximize
your energy savings |
 |
Reduce
damaging ultraviolet rays |
 |
Reduce
noise levels |
 |
Resist
condensation |
Best
of all, an average size Super Peak Performance window weighs
within four ounces per sash of other, less efficient reflective
film units.
1.
Sungate 1000 coated low-E glass allows natural
light to enter freely.
2. In winter indoor long-wave heat energy is
reflected back into the house, lowering heating
costs.
3. In summer outdoor long-wave heat energy,
radiating from objects, is reflected back outside,
lowering cooling costs. |
