Alside's optional ClimaTech insulated glass package combines multi-layered low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, argon gas and the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System.  ClimaTech is up to 40% more energy-efficient than most other Low-E or Mid-E glass systems and provides more than twice the energy efficiency of clear glass units.

Alside's Windows with ClimaTech exceed the performance requirements set forth by the U.S.  Department of Energy in conjunction with the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) test criteria.

One of the most critical NFRC tests measures the rate of heat loss through a window or door (U-Factor).  The lower the U-Factor, the better the product is at resisting heat flow, which results in a product with a greater insulating value.

Another critical NFRC test is for Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).  This procedure measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. Again, the lower the number, the less solar heat the window transmits into the home.  The above chart clearly shows how the performance of UltraMaxx Windows can be enhanced with the addition of various ClimaTech insulated glass packages.

Low-E glass filters long-wave radiation from the sun. This reduces solar heat gain from the summer sun, helping to keep your home cooler.

Low-E glass takes on a new duty in winter months. It lets warm solar rays into your home, while preventing indoor heat from escaping.

Designer grids lend an added measure of style and dimension to your windows. All grids are enclosed within the insulated glass unit for easy cleaning. Choose from our selection of beautiful grid profiles and patterns to design the ideal window for your home:
