Overview

LiteZone™ insulating glass units have the highest performance and longest life available.
Important LiteZone™ advantages include:
  • Can achieve insulating values up to R19.6 at the centre of glass and as high as R17.0 for an overall window with an energy efficient frame
  • Is scalable to match performance values desired and project budgets
  • Highest window insulating values on the market
  • About 2.5 times the insulation of the highest performing triple pane windows
  • Enables window insulating values to better complement the insulating values of building walls
  • Air filled only (no concerns with loss of performance due to escaping argon)
  • Air pressure is equalized between the inside and outside of the glass unit to greatly reduce stress on the edge seals
  • Expected life is more than 60 years (more than 3 times triple pane)
  • Superior sound insulation
  • Competitive cost relative to performance
  • No special servicing requirements
  • No special installation requirements
  • Triple pane weighs more than LiteZone™
  • Provides design flexibility to use large windows and generous glass areas
  • Provides credits for LEED green building certification
  • By reducing building energy requirements, renewable energy sources such as geothermal and solar are more feasible
