A flexible neoprene dual durometer hugs the glass (marine glazing technique). An exterior/interior wet glazing tape and an interior silicone full perimeter bead (double glazed windows only) provide a great seal!
Maximize the insulation value of your sealed unit with your choice of Argon, Krypton and Krypton/Argon blend.
Results in superior thermal performance. Our optional high performance triple glass with a 1 3/8″ overall seal unit has two 1/2″ air spaces. With Argon Gas and double Solar Shield Low E, this results in a 8.2R (.12U) C.O.G. value.
The TempSmart™ Spacer System is a flexible, U-shaped, silicone foam tape product used to wrap around and cushion our center decorative panel. Featuring a vapor barrier backing, the product used in combination with Hot Melt butyl, provides a superior Warm – Edge seal.
The best glass for most applications in a northern climate. It has a very high retention rate of the heat in your home in winter and prevents heat gain in summer. Since as much as 95% of your energy expense for heating and cooling combined goes for heating, this glass is more cost effective than other glass without a high SHGC.
Is chosen for uses where cooling costs outweigh heating costs in your energy usage, or where summer discomfort from heat build-up should be an important concern. This is the best glass for most applications in a southern climate. It has a very high reflection rate of the radiant outside heat to prevent heat gain in summer and in winter it still retains radiant heat once you turn on your furnance!
LoĒ³-366 delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. And it provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings. It’s also the one glass you can use to be compliant in every ENERGY STAR zone – in a double-pane window.
Available in 2 panel, 3 panel, or 4 panel sliding patio doors, with your choice of a side lite and transom combinations.

This remarkable glass is actually two sheets of glass permanently bonded to a tough, durable plastic interlayer. Laminated glass offers a significant contribution toward protecting your family and irreplaceable valuables. Laminated glass is also valuable in reducing sound transmission into your home. The plastic interlayer dampens the transmission of outdoor noise, traffic, overhead aircraft, lawn mowers, power tools, barking dogs and other sources of noise pollution!
Bonded by two sheets of glass
Tempered Glass is heat-strengthened glass that is stronger and safer than regular annealed glass. In the case that tempered glass does break, the glass shatters into small pebbles that are void of dangerous sharp edges. Manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, VWD manufactures this process all in-house.
Won’t shatter like ordinary glass
