Alside’s exclusive ClimaTech high-performance insulated glass package is a state-of-the-art combination of three energy-efficient elements, each contributing to a superior glass unit that may help to pay for itself in energy savings through all seasons.

Solarban® 60 Low-E glass from PPG
Solarban 60 Low-E glass (low emmisivity) helps reduce energy costs in two ways. In summer, Solarban 60 helps block out long-wave radiation (direct sunlight) from the sun, keeping your home cooler. In winter, Solarban 60 helps retain furnace heat while allowing warming, short-wave solar rays to enter the home, putting less strain on your furnace to maintain a comfortable warmth.

Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer from PPG
The Intercept Spacer System is designed to keep the edges of the window glass warmer. Even with insulating glass, if the edges are not sealed properly, the insulation of the window as a whole may be compromised. The Intercept spacer creates a “warm edge” seal for superior insulation and reduced likelihood of condensation at the edges of the window.

Insulating Argon Gas
Argon gas is a colorless, odorless, nonflammable, nontoxic, inert gas that is sealed between the two panes of glass. Heavier than air, and completely safe to humans and animals, the argon gas provides an additional layer of insulation, increasing energy-efficiency and also acting as a sound barrier to help deaden outside noise.

ClimaTech Features
* Improved winter and summer thermal comfort
* Increased heating and cooling season energy and cost savings
* Reduces peak loads for lower HVAC costs
* Helps reduce window condensation
* Helps deaden outside noise

Alside’s exclusive ClimaTech Plus high-performance insulated glass package adds an additional level of high performance and energy-efficiency to our exclusive ClimaTech packages. ClimaTech Plus features the same Solarban 60 Low-E Glass and argon gas fill between the panes, but adds the technology of the SST Warm Edge Spacer System for even greater gains in thermal comfort and energy savings.

SST Warm Edge Spacer from PPG
Alside’s exclusive SST Spacer System utilizes a patented structural foam design that traps escaping heat far more efficiently than any other spacer. The result is an unparalleled level of insulation at the window seal and a far greater defense against condensation common in otherwise well-insulated, weathertight homes.

Solarban® 60 Low-E glass from PPG
Solarban 60 Low-E glass (low emmisivity) helps reduce energy costs in two ways. In summer, Solarban 60 helps block out long-wave radiation (direct sunlight) from the sun, keeping your home cooler. In winter, Solarban 60 helps retain furnace heat while allowing warming, short-wave solar rays to enter the home, putting less strain on your furnace to maintain a comfortable warmth.

Heavier than air and completely safe to humans and animals, the argon gas provides an additional layer of insulation, increasing energy-efficiency and also acting as a sound barrier to help deaden outside noise.

ClimaTech Plus Features
* True warm edge for greater insulation at the glass edge
* Patented double seal system, reduced chance of seal failure
* 54% more thermally efficient at the edge than windows made with conventional box aluminum spacers
* 950 times less conductive than traditional aluminum spacers
* Dramatically reduces window condensation at the edges
* Helps increase thermal comfort in summer and winter while reducing energy costs

The glass contained in any of Alside's exclusive ClimaTech® Insulated Glass Packages is a Low-E glass, and a technological breakthrough that means your Alside windows deliver unsurpassed performance and beauty. Low-E, or low-emissivity, glass is an excellent way to increase your home's comfort and energy savings year-round.

All Alside window products with any of the optional ClimaTech Insulated Glass Packages feature Solarban® 60 Low-E glass from PPG Industries™ -- a world leader in advanced glass technologies.

How it works
Solarban 60 is created by applying multiple layers of microscopic, undetectable metallic coatings to the surface of a piece of flat, annealed glass. The metallic coating helps block out the solar energy in the summer, while accepting and retaining warm, short-wave solar rays in the winter.

In the summer, Low-E glass filters long-wave solar radiation - reducing solar heat gain in your home as a result of the sun's direct rays. In the winter, Low-E glass takes on two responsibilities: first it lets warm, short-wave rays into the home for natural warmth; then the Low-E glass helps block the warm air inside, rather than allowing it to escape through the pane, so your heating system runs less to maintain a comfortable temperature.

ClimaTech and ClimaTech Plus, with Solarban 60 and an argon-filled glass unit, provide a 49% reduction in solar heat gain compared with a standard clear-glass window unit. Plus, ClimaTech and Solarban 60 glass units reduce harmful UV rays by as much as 72% compared to a clear-glass unit. This helps reduce fading in your furniture upholstery, carpeting and even curtains and drapes.

Why Low-E glass is right for you
As part of any of Alside's ClimaTech Insulated Glass Packages, Solarban 60 provides the following benefits:
* You save on energy costs for both heating and cooling, as Low-E glass helps air conditioning and furnace units to run more efficiently.
* Fading is reduced in interior furnishings such as carpets, drapes and furniture.
* You will have purchased an ENERGY STAR®-qualified product, doing your part to help conserve energy and the environment.

“Warm Edge” spacer technology is designed to reduce the potential for conduction of cold air from the outdoors, through the traditional metal spacers, to the glass pane. This conduction of cold air not only reduces the efficiency of your energy use, but also creates the conditions for condensation around the glass edges, and the water damage to trim, paint, woodwork and window treatments that condensation can cause.

Alside’s warm edge spacer systems are provided as an energy-efficient alternative as part of the ClimaTech® and ClimaTech Plus ®Insulated Glass Packages.

ClimaTech with PPG’s Intercept™ Spacer System
The Intercept Spacer System is a warm edge spacer featuring a unique, one-piece metal alloy with a U-Channel design that creates an effective thermal barrier to help reduce conducted heat loss through the window. The sealed, one-piece design makes Intercept spacer stronger and better at retaining insulating gas than many conventional designs.

ClimaTech Plus with Edgetech’s SST® Spacer System
The SST Spacer System features a non-metal design that eliminates cool-edge metal-to-glass construction at the glass edge. This ensures greater insulation at the glass edge – where the window traditionally insulates least effectively – and virtually eliminates condensation at the edges of the window associated with metal spacers that conduct cold air.

The SST Spacer System combines a patented structural foam spacer with a seal of hot metal butyl to create a non-conductive edge. The elimination of metal-to-glass contact makes the ClimaTech Plus glass package up to 54% more energy-efficient than ordinary insulated glass units. The non-metal edge also helps prevent seal failure by minimizing the subtle movement of glass panes within the unit.
