Glazing Method

All Sun products are glazed with Dual Glazed insulated glass. Our Casement family products as well as our Fixed Lite products are also available with Triple Glazed insulated glass.

Duralite™ Warm-Edge Spacer System

All Sun insulated glass units use the Duralite™ warm-edge glass spacer system. Duralite is the only all non-metallic spacer system available. This gives superior thermal performance and its flexible properties provide a superior seal and excellent argon retention. It is one of the reasons we are able to provide a full 20 year warranty on our insulated glass.

Glass Types

Most building codes now require thermally efficient insulated glass in windows and doors. Therefore, high-performance Low-E glass has become an industry standard. Sun offers a range of Low-E Insulated Glass units to match maximum thermal benefits with your region.

• Sun Advantage 270 is for regions that have both heating and cooling seasons.
• Sun Advantage 366 is for regions that require mostly cooling.
• Energy Advantage 63/31 add uses an additional Low-E surface (4th surface Low-E) for even higher thermal performance with the caveat that interior glass is coated and requires specials care when cleaning.
• Clear glass is available for specific applications where energy performance codes do not apply.

Glass Tints

All insulated glass units can be tinted. Tints available are: Bronze, Gray, and Reflective Tinted Glass. Tints are part of the glass, not a film. Never apply glass films to Sun insulated glass units.

Obscure Glass

All insulated glass units can include Obscure glass. Available Obscure textures are: Typical Obscure (P516) and Niagara Obscure (vertical waterfall pattern).

Tempered Glass

Most insulated glass units can be Tempered to meet glass requirements. Both pieces of the insulated glass unit are tempered. Most glass options (Low-E, Tints, Obscure) are available in tempered glass units.
