Warm Edge Technology
Warm Edge Technology is a revolutionary patented system
that helps increase the overall thermal efficiency of sealed
insulating glass units. At the heart of the system is the
special non-conductive spacer that includes desiccant to
absorb moisture, a specially formulated sealant that
provides a vapor barrier to the outside while it encloses a
corrugated aluminum spacer. Unlike conventional spacer
systems that use highly conductive aluminum or steel as
their primary component, ViWinTech’s warm edge spacer
substantially reduces energy flow around the perimeter of
the glass, thereby helping to reduce your energy bills.
Emax Plus High Performance Glass
For maximum energy efficiency, savings and comfort,
ViWinTech offers optional Emax Glass. Emax utilizes a
specially formulated invisible coating that is bonded to the
interior surface of the insulating glass unit. This coating
actually blocks long wave (heat) radiation by reflecting it
back to its source.
What does this mean to you? Energy savings. In the
summer, the sun is high in the sky. Visible light from the
sun strikes the earth and is converted to long wave heat
radiation. Your home can actually absorb this heat
radiation, even though the sun is not shining directly
through the windows. Emax glass reflects this unwanted
heat back outside, helping to reduce the load on your air
conditioner, and also reduce your energy costs.
Conversely, in the winter, the sun is low in the sky. Visible
sunlight passes easily through the Emax glass and is
converted to long wave heat radiation inside your home. As
these heat waves move toward the outside, they strike the
Emax glass, and are reflected back inside your home,
keeping your home warmer, reducing your heating costs.
The Emax coating blocks not only long wave radiation, but
also effectively blocks ultraviolet radiation that can damage
fabrics and carpets.
Emax High Performance Glass does all this, while still
letting in plenty of natural unobscured daylight.
