A major component in making your SecurPlus™ Window energy efficient and condensation resistant is our choice of high tech warm edge glass spacer systems.

1. INTERCEPT SPACER® - This is a warm edge spacer, invented by PPG. This spacer will reduce condensation, heat loss, and provide clean, graceful lines achieving an appealing appearance. Because it is made from low conductive steel, it provides natural structural strength in your window. Best of all, this is our basic spacer at no extra cost to you!

2. TempSmart™ Spacer System - In order to avoid the confusion created by multiple materials being sold as Superspacer in the marketplace, AVWD has introduced the TempSmart™ brand as your guarantee that you are only receiving Edgetec's premium foam silicone material and not Edgetech's organic foam material. Foam silicone is perhaps the warmest material available.

Better still, our TempSmart™ system guarantees that your oversize windows are reinforced to maintain structural integrity. This is important because, while foam silicone is very resistant to cold transfer, it lacks the inherent structure of metal spacers!

TempSmart™ A Temperature Smart Spacer System!
SecurPlus™ now offers a premium foamed silicone spacer, combined with reinforcement as required. TempSmart™ is your assurance that we are using only the best silicone foam material and not a substitute. Because foam is not structural,AVWD protects the integrity of every window with additional reinforcement as required.

3. INEX ® - INEX is a revolutionary product in the field of thermo units. INEX is composed of reinforced thermoplastic material and has a very low cold transfer rate. Aesthetically, its white surface is very appealing. It virtually eliminates condensation and considerably reduces heat loss. This spacer is highly recommended by many R2000 developers. It is manufactured by INEX SPACERS INDUSTRIES LTD.

Alternatives to clear glass in your window can increase the comfort of your home as well as save you money on your heating and cooling bill. Be careful not to be mislead by true but misleading statements regarding which glass is most appropriate for your use. In a southern climate, look for glass with the best "U" or "R" value, and in a northern climate look for glass with a balance between a good insulation value and a high SHGC or solar heat gain coefficient.

Colored and frosted glasses: Bronze, gray, frosted and colored glasses can offer increased privacy as well as lowered heat gain for interior spaces such as sunrooms that tend to become too hot in summer months. 

1. ENERGY ADVANTAGE ® LOW E GLASS - Energy Advantage Glass is manufactured by the Pilkington Group. This is the best glass for most applications in a northern climate. It has a very high retention rate of the heat in your home in winter and preventing heat gain in summer. It is very important to understand that Energy Advantage© Low E Glass has a higher Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) than other Low E glass designed for southern markets in order to retain the Solar Heat Gain that provides FREE winter heat for the homeowner. Since as much as 95% of your energy expense for heating and cooling combined goes for heating, this glass is more cost effective than other glass without its high SHGC.

2. SOFTCOAT LOW E GLASS - SOFTCOAT Glass is chosen for climates where cooling costs outweigh heating costs in your energy usage, or where summer discomfort from heat build up it an important concern. This is the best glass for most applications in a southern climate. It has a very high reflection rate of the radiant outside heat to prevent heat gain in summer and in winter it still retains radiant heat once you turn on your furnace! SOFTCOAT has a lower Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) for southern markets in order to minimize Solar Heat Gain that results in extra work for your air conditioning unit.

3. Argon Gas filled units reduce your window's conduction and convention of heat. Argon works well with Low E glass to maximize your new window's energy efficiency and performance.

4. Krypton Gas filling works where Argon can't! It is ideal for smaller air spaces created in triple glazing and can be combined with Argon in intermediate size spaces.

KEEPSAFE™ GLASS - This remarkable glass is actually two sheets of glass permanently bonded to a tough, durable plastic interlayer. KeepSafe™ glass won't shatter like ordinary glass and the resilient interlayer resists repeated blows from common handheld weapons including bricks, hammers, bats, and crowbars. Because the glass must be cut from both sides, glasscutters are virtually useless as a burglary tool. KeepSafe™ glass offers a significant contribution toward protecting your family and irreplaceable valuables.

KeepSafe™ glass is also valuable in reducing sound transmission into your home. The plastic interlayer dampens the transmission of outdoor noise, traffic, overhead aircraft, lawn mowers, power tools, barking dogs and other sources of noise pollution!

The interlayer in KeepSafe™ Glass screens out over 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays © protecting your drapes, carpet, upholstery and wall coverings and preserving your valuable and artwork and family photos.
