Serious Technology

Serious windows combine an enhanced Serious Glass insulated glass package with fully-insulated framing systems to achieve the highest insulation performance across the full-frame — not just measured at center of glass.

Serious windows combine nine key technologies to achieve world class performance:

• Sustainable foam:
  
  Our unique sustainable foam insulation increases R-value over the full frame of the window.
• Proprietary triple reverse seal:
  
  Our reverse triple seal goes above and beyond industry standards to increase longevity of the glass seal.
• EcoSpacer™:
  
  Our proprietary composite high insulation spacer technology extends SeriousWindows high center of glass R-values to the edge of the frame.
• Inert gas fill:
  
  Argon, krypton, or xenon gas strategically placed between SeriousGlass and our suspended film maximizes R-value by suppressing conduction and convection within our glass unit.
• Suspended film:
  
  Suspended film reduces convection and energy transfer without the weight and size of more glass. Our suspended film systems are customized in order to uniquely “tune” your home for thermal efficiency and maximum comfort. Based on your home’s unique location and solar exposure, we ensure the right amount of heat to warm or cool your home. SeriousWindows suspended film systems offer UV protection up to 99.9%.

• Wide IG:
  
  A wide IG results in better thermal insulation and higher STC (sound transmission class) ratings.
• High strength, low conductivity fiberglass frame:
  
  Fiberglass frames are considered the “greenest” frames on the market and offer the most durability and enhanced insulation. Fiberglass frames are available in multiple colors or integrated with stainable wood veneers.
• Wet glazing:
  
  Minimizes air leakage at the glass to sash bond, increasing R-value performance. 
• Triple-fin weather stripping:
  
  Unlike standard weather stripping, our weather stripping substantially reduces air leakage and ensures the highest energy performance.
