ClimaTech® TG2. For improved year-round performance.
ClimaTech TG2 is clearly superior in energy efficiency
to any ordinary low-E or mid-E glass package. Because
it combines two panes of multi-layer, vacuum-deposition
Low-E glass and a third interior glass pane with two
chambers of argon gas, it has proven to be 125% more
efficient than the ordinary low-E or mid-E glass packages.
All of this results in a triple pane unit that is nearly four
times more efficient than any non-coated insulating glass.

But for the best performing glass unit in the
industry, choose ClimaTech® TK2.
The ultimate in glass package performance. . . ClimaTech
TK2. Quite simply, the ClimaTech TIC insulated glass
package performs over 300% more efficient than any
ordinary low-E or mid-B glass package. This high
performing glass package combines two panes of multi-
layer, vacuum-deposition Low-E glass and a third interior
glass pane with two chambers of krypton gas, which is
nearly 215% denser than air (Krypton has a density of 3.749 g/L. Air has a density of 1.190 g/L.), and nearly five times
denser than argon gas.
And like ClimaTech TG2, because all three panes are
made of glass, the haze and distortion is eliminated that
may be found in non-glass units, which feature synthetic
films as the third element. ClimaTech TIC. . . when
your comfort is important to you.

Low-E Glass filters long-
wave radiation. This reduces
heat gain in your home from
the sun in the summer,
keeping your home cooler.
|
Low-E takes on a new duty
in winter months. It lets warm
solar rays into your home
while blocking the heat in
your home from getting out.

1. Vinyl frames and sashes will never chip, peel, crack or warp. Made
tough and solid with "Criterion" virgin vinyl (PVC) resin, “European
water-cooled” extrusion process for shaping strength, plus through and
through color compounding so the beautiful luster lasts.
2. A network of strategic insulating air chambers helps to reduce
conduction and cut high energy bills.
3. QUAD-4 weatherstripping at header adds even more protection from the elements.
4. Triple-paned insulated glass unit with optimal 1" air space improves year-round performance.
5. "HD Interlock System" at sash meeting rails creates a super—tight
seal against air and moisture infiltration.
6. I-Tech Warm Edge Spacer System maximizes window
performance and longevity.
7. Heavy-duty fiberglass reinforcement for added strength and
energy efficiency at the meeting rail.
8. Exclusive double lift rails provide strength and stability for easy operation.
9. Drop-in glazing adds extra protection from the elements.
10. Low-profile “True-Slope” pinch-welded sill
offers maximum water drainage to the exterior, while enhancing protection from air infiltration.
