SELF-CLEANING GLASS Until now, the beauty of even the best window could be spoiled by the ravages of Mother Nature. Dirt. Soil. Water spots and streaks. And until now, that meant dragging out the bucket and ladder, hose and sponge. But now, Mother Nature can actually help keep your windows clean, day in and day out, all year around - thanks to an amazing new glass that uses the power of the sun to clean itself. Called Pilkington ACTIV Self-Cleaning Glass, it features.... * a special PhotoActiv exterior surface that uses ordinary daylight (which is abundant even on cloudy days) to gradually loosen and break down dirt and soil. Then.... * a hydrophilic action causes water to sheet on the glass, so a light rain rinses away the loose dirt, and the windows dry with virtually no spots or streaks. And in dry weather, just a quick spray with a hose is usually more than enough to have your windows looking like new again! LOW-E GLASS Energy Advantage Low-E Glass was engineered and developed by Pilkington for one purpose: to provide window manufacturers with a superior-performing, energy-saving glass with unsurpassed durability, ease of handling and fabrication, and one of the most color-neutral appearances available. It also had to offer other advantages, such as saving home-owners real money on heating and cooling costs. |

| SUPER-SPACER Clearly, the Super Spacer product line stands alone. We call it TrueWARM because Super Spacer is the world's only 100% polymar foam, NO-METAL Warm Edge spacing system. Its arrival on the scene in 1989 revolutionized the insulating glass industry, and today, this TSS technology is still breaking new ground in providing the warmest, longest-lasting windows anywhere else in the world. "Thermal efficiency through no presence of conductive metals" is Super Spacer's hallmark. The edge of the insulating glass unit is indeed the most vulnerable to heat and cooling loss, condensation and frosting. Super Spacer's NO-Metal formula blocks the heat escape path and provides on of the best thermal performances in the industry. That means it keeps the heat in during the winter months and keeps the cool in during the summer months. Super Spacer assures comfortable winter humidity levels with hardly any worries about condensation and mold. |
