Today more than ever, homeowners are replacing their old worn out windows with energy efficient replacement windows. Poorly insulated windows can attribute up to 25 percent of a building’s heating and cooling loads. as a homeowner, it is just as important to know what type of glass package (or glazing is going into the window.
In order to overcome the thermal inefficiency of conventional aluminum spacers, a new type of spacer product called warm edge technology has evolved in the industry. If the materials conducts less heat or cold than a conventional aluminum spacer at the edge of the glass, it is said to be “warm-edge.” Most of these newer spacers are less conductive and outperform pure aluminum.

For maximum energy efficiency, savings and comfort, ViWinTech offers optional Emax Ultra glass standard of the Select 6000 series window line. Emax Ultra utilizes SuperSpacer and a specially formulated invisible coating that is bonded to the interior surface of the insulating glass unit. This coating actually blocks long wave (heat) radiation by reflecting it back to its source.By combining warm edge technology (SuperSpacer with Emax Plus High Performance Glass, your windows are able to resist moisture from condensation. And less moisture means less potential for mold and mildew around your windows. These advances in glass technology and spacer systems offer you a clearer view to your world.
