Best Passive House Glass in the Industry

Passive House projects require windows with a unique combination of low U-values and high SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient). It is difficult to manufacture insulated glass assemblies that are both low in thermal transfer and high in solar heat gain. Our CLIMATOP LUX glass offers a U-value of 0.105 Btu/(hr·ft²·F°) and SHGC of 0.62, making it by far the best Passive House combination in the industry.
