1 3/8 TRIPLE GLAZE WINDOW
OVERVIEW
Hometech has once again raised the bar with our re-engineered 1 3/8 Triple Glaze Window, the highest standard in triple glaze windows. The
Cardinal sealed unit can achieve an industry record of R-9.4 R-Value. The 1 3/8 Triple Glaze Window is built for any climate keeping your
home warm in the harshest of winters and cool in the hottest of summers.
The 1 3/8 Triple Glaze Window is also built to last. It begins with Hometech’s standard premium features: Acrylic Glazing Technology, Premium Vinyl
Construction, Fusion Welded Corners, Multiple-Chamber Frames and Sashes as well as Truth and other premium maximum heavy duty
operators and hinges, which are made in the U.S.A. and second to none in quality.

Glaze Window’s frame is specifically engineered to handle the extra weight load of triple glaze sealed unit by having load bearing areas
reinforced with thicker profile walls and fiberglass inserts.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY VALUES
Umet = U-value (W/m_ – K) – The lower the number, the more energy efficient the product.
Uimp = U-value (Btu/h*ft2*F) – The lower the number, the more energy efficient the product.
SHGC = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient – The higher the number, the higher the solar gain.
ER = Energy Rating (W/m2 or dimensionless) – The higher the number, the more energy efficient the product.
The ER (Energy Rating) format was changed to all positive numbers (dimensionless) in October, 2004 by CSA (Canadian Standards Association) to address consumer confusion over negative numbers. The older format had a mixture of negative and positive numbers (W/m2). In our listings, all ER numbers that appear in the older format are shown in bold coloured type. An approximate conversion to the new format can be made by adding 33 to these numbers.
