2 Package Standard, No Upgrades Needed
All
of our windows systems include the ClimaTech2 package standard.
There is no upgrade needed. It is the most energy efficiency
vinyl window package available today and is the reason why Alside
was named EnergyStar® partner of the year 3 straight years!
What
is ClimaTech 2?
Double
Low E Glass:
Low E is a microscopic covering on each pane of glass that deflects
heat to where it is coming from. This means that heat on the
outside stays outside in the summer, and heat on the inside
stays inside in the winter.

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. |
Argon
Filled Panes: Between our two panes of
LowE covered glass, is a gas called argon. Argon gas is proven
to improve energy efficiency by 30% over air filled panes.
PPG Warm Edge Spacer: Our
stainless steel spacer system is rigid, yet has built in flexibility
( not a seperate sealant) allowing it to expand and contract
with the window. Low end spacers are made of aluminum and are
sealed with a seperate sealant which will fail over time due
to expansion and contraction from heat and cold.
Warm
Edge Spacer flexes eliminating sealant failure.
|

Conventional spacers gave an added sealant around them
which fails over time due to expansion and contraction
with heat and cold. |
