Reduced Noise Levels
Windows with ^® can reduce outside noise as much as 85%. Double air space construction enables ^® windows to block out sound better than double pane windows. The result is a quieter, more comfortable home.

Reduced Fabric Fading
Normal windows allow the sun’s ultraviolet radiation to fade draperies, carpet and other valuable furniture and possessions. The with ^® blocks 99.5% of damaging ultraviolet rays and protects your home up to five times more than ordinary windows.

Lower Energy Costs
^® heat reflecting film and gas filled air spaces reduce winter heat loss and summer heat gain
through window glass by more than 5 times that of ordinary double pane glass. As energy bills continue to
rise year after year, so will your savings.

Effective Condensation Control
In high humidity areas like kitchens, bathrooms and pool enclosures ^® windows provide superior resistance to condensation and moisture build-up. Even in below freezing temperatures, when other windows begin to sweat, windows containing ^® will resist condensation. This helps preserve your wall, window frames and your view.
