Heavy Commercial Fiberglass SeriousWindows

7000 Series

Serious Energy, well known for its high performing, energy efficient residential window systems now brings to the commercial market the Heavy Commercial SeriousWindows Series, powered by SeriousGlass. Using sophisticated window technology, incorporating advanced glazing systems and super insulating fiberglass frames and sash, this next generation in energy efficient commercial window systems offers superior structural ratings, a variety of energy efficient, high thermal performance IGU packages, and full frame insulation values ranging from R-values R-3.0 to R-7.0.

Heavy Commercial SeriousWindows enable energy-efficient window strategies including passive heating and cooling coupled with maximum daylighting to reduce energy load and improve the environment for building occupants. In addition, there are many inherent advantages of fiberglass over aluminum framing systems including enhanced lifetime durability, higher thermal performance, and a lower embodied energy footprint.

Fiberglass Framing System

A Tuned, Customized Approach for Serious Energy Efficiency

Advanced glazing options enable architects to directionally “tune” a building by using different wavelength-selective coatings and glazing options according to a building’s unique location, orientation, and elevation. Architects can manage the sun to their advantage for greater building performance, energy-savings, and indoor comfort.

Each SeriousGlass platform includes a unique variety of packages including low and high solar heat gain, argon and krypton gas and gas mixtures, film and glass coatings.
