The Heat Mirror®™ family of wavelength-selective products offer the solution to all glazing design challenges such as climate, elevation and application. These solutions provide unparalleled flexibility to "tune" a building to meet these needs.

Heat Mirror® Insulating Glass

The choice of the right glazing is one of the most important and far-reaching decisions that an architect or building owner will make. This decision impacts the overall design, human comfort, energy efficiency, mechanical HVAC design and loads, day lighting, condensation control, ultraviolet fading and sound control. In the design of any building (whether it be residential, commercial or industrial) one must look at and take into consideration the six principal glazing design challenges. These are:

Winter Comfort and Heating Load
Summer Comfort Cooling Load
Natural Day lighting
Appearance and Reflectivity
Ultraviolet Fading Control
Condensation Control

The Heat Mirror® is a low-emissivity coated film product suspended inside an insulating glass unit. The result is a triple unit with two airspace's without the weight of triple insulating glass and with far superior insulating and shading performance. There are many different The Heat Mirror® coatings: HM 88, HM 77, TC88, SC75, 66, 55, 44, 33, and 22. These range from the low reflectance, high-light transmittance performance of Heat Mirror® 88 through the maximum shading performance of Heat Mirror® 22.

All Heat Mirror® products can be used with virtually any type of glass - clear, heat absorbing, reflective, heat-strengthened, tempered, laminated - to achieve superior performance in a wide range of aesthetics.
 

Heat Mirror® Plus Insulating Glass

Heat Mirror® plus substitutes one lite of low-emissivity coated glass for the uncoated glass used in the Heat Mirror® unit. With an optional Argon or Krypton filling, a U-Value of less than .12 (R-value of 8.33) can be achieved. This product meets the criteria for institutional projects or projects requiring high insulation values and is available in custom sizes and shapes.

Benefits Of A Heat Mirror®™ Replacement Window

Reduced Noise Levels

Windows with Heat Mirror® can reduce outside noise as much as 85%. Double air space construction enables Heat Mirror® windows to block out sound better than double pane windows. The result is a quieter, more comfortable home.

Reduced Fabric Fading

Normal windows allow the sun's ultraviolet radiation to fade draperies, carpet and other valuable furniture and possessions. The Protector® with Heat Mirror® blocks 99.5% of damaging ultraviolet rays and protects your New Jersey home up to five times more than ordinary windows.

Low Energy Costs

Heat Mirror® heat reflecting film and gas filled air spaces reduce winter heat loss and summer heat gain through window glass by more than 5 times that of ordinary double pane glass. As energy bills continue to rise year after year, so will your savings.

Effective Condensation Control

In high humidity areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and pool enclosures Heat Mirror® windows provide superior resistance to condensation and moisture build-up. Even in below freezing temperatures, when other windows begin to sweat, windows containing Heat Mirror® will resist condensation. This helps preserve your wall, window frames and your view.
