21st Century Homes, Inc.
High Performance Windows
The windows we have chosen to complete the super-insulated exterior shell of your home offer substantially improved insulation, low reflectance and high light transmittance.
This is accomplished by using the latest and highest technological improvements.
Here’s why it works:
A thin Mylar film is placed between two sheets of Low-E glass. This Mylar film is coated with a special coating designed and patented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) known as Heat Mirror ® technology. This technology actually reflects heat back to its source – to the outside during summer, and to the inside during winter. (This technology also blocks over 99.5% of damaging ultraviolet radiation below 380 nanometers, while maintaining a clear, colorless appearance. This ultraviolet light accounts for the majority of fading damage to furniture, carpets, artwork, etc.)
The two spaces created between the Mylar film and the Low-E glass are then filled with the gas krypton, which has twice the density and insulating value of Argon gas which is more commonly used.
The window frame is a multi-chambered design, consisting of 22 separate compartments that add strength and additional insulation. The insulating performance rated by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), a third party laboratory much like UL®, is R-9.1
These windows are manufactured here in Colorado, and can travel over any mountain pass without breaking its seal and loosing the insulating gas – a problem for most other window manufacturers who manufacture outside of Colorado.
