Consumers now have a choice of high quality, energy efficient windows in a variety of frame materials.
These energy efficient windows use Heat Mirror®, a low-emissivity, coated film suspended inside an insulating glass unit.
A range of Heat Mirror® products can reduce heat from the sun and increase window insulation. The two airspaces created by the suspended
the film further increase the window's R-value.
All Heat Mirror products can be used with virtually any type of glass - clear, heat absorbing, reflective, heat-strengthened, tempered,
laminated - to achieve superior performance in a wide range of aesthetics.
How Heat Mirror Works:
External radiated heat is reflected
Direct heat from the sun is reduced
Internal radiated heat is reflected
Heat Mirror reduces energy consumption and the expense of air-conditioning, heating and artificial lighting - all while enhancing comfort and
aesthetics. These high performance products are designed for residential, commercial and institutional construction, new or retrofit, vertical or sloped glazing.
Residential glass with R-values ranging from 5.0 to 15.0, "tuned" solar transmission enabling morning solar warmth and afternoon heat
rejection, 99.5% UV blockage, dramatic noise reduction, low-reflectivity / clear-glass design freedom, condensation elimination, enhanced
plant growth, compliance with the Nation's toughest energy-related building codes, LEED (Leadership in
Energy & Environmental Design) assistance, and dramatically enhanced summer/winter occupant comfort.
