Energy Efficient Windows & Doors

Problem:

• 21% of air leakage is through windows and doors
• Windows allow heat from sunlight in during warm months and allow heat to escape during cold months
• Energy escapes through windows in 4 different ways (conduction, convection, radiation and air leakage)

Solution: Energy Efficient Windows from Polaris Technologies

• 2 or 3 panes of glass
• Patented treated steel U-shaped spacer
• Soft coat Low-E or Low-E “Stacked” (Multiple Layer Coating) (optional) Permits only certain light waves to pass through for energy savings. Unlike most hard-coat glass, our soft-coat has virtually no tint or haze
• Argon or optional krypton gas filling to better insulate low-E units
• Sealant (bonds the glass to spacer)
• Desiccant (removes moisture from atmosphere between panes)

Solution: Energy Efficient Doors from Polaris Technologies

Patio Doors

• STANDARD Intercept® Warm-Edge insulated glass spacer system blocks temperature transfer for THERMAL PERFORMANCE and reduces condensation
• INTERCEPT/LOW-E/Argon options available

Entry Doors

• Polaris Ultra Doors start with a strong, rigid polyurethane foam core that meets environmental guidelines and offers maximum thermal protection
• The door bottom weather-strip forms a weather-tight seal to the threshold
• The adjustable threshold allows you to achieve a proper seal with a few turns of a screw driver
