Krypton Gas Fill
ivory sandalwood fieldstone chocolate terracotta
At the heart of the EcoTherm design lies a triple-glazed core filled with
Krypton gas. The gas is three times less conductive than argon. The added
density of Krypton also slows convection between the panes, minimizing
hot spots at the top and bottom of the window where heat exchange can occur.

A Better Fr amework
Few people realize how much heat is lost through window frames and sashes.
With EcoTherm, however, that loss is nearly eliminated. All frames and sashes
are formed from low-conducting PVC and filled with an advanced cellular foam light grey colonial blue base blue autumn red
that minimizes thermal transfer. This added barrier creates more comfortable
living spaces and actually strengthens the window. It’s a stronger, smarter | Interior Woodgrain Laminates†
framework for living.

Magnetic Appeal
Another key aspect of the EcoTherm design is a magnetic weatherstrip where

the window meets the sill. Like the seal on a refrigerator door, it creates a
nearly impervious barrier to thermal and air penetration, for one more level
of efficiency and comfort. All representations of colors/finishes are mechanically reproduced and may vary from actual product.

EcoTherm windows rank among the world’s very best for thermal performance, Energy Saving Solutions
a fact that has been certified by America’s leading independent agencies.
Most also qualify for Federal tax credits, which can be applied in the current
tax year for hundreds, even thousands of dollars in rebates.

Glazing Packages
Glass and spacer technologies (the glazing package) are the key to a window’s
thermal efficiency. EcoTherm has therefore partnered with two industry leaders –
Guardian Industries and TruSeal Technologies – to create a best-of-class glazing
system that meets or exceeds all Energy Star and Federal tax credit standards. EcoTherm windows provide
a thermal barrier that allows

U-Value: The measurement of the rate of heat loss through a material. The lower Grid Options
the U-Value, the better.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): The measurement of how well a

product blocks heat from the sun. The lower the SHGC, the better a product
is at blocking heat gain.
