January 17, 2007—Patio Enclosures, Inc., has received the Insulating Glass Certification Council’s highest certification for its Comfort-Gard Plus glass technology, making it the only sunroom manufacturer to attain this distinction for the commercial and consumer sunroom markets, according to the manufacturer and installer of sunrooms.
Comfort-Gard Plus glass has been subjected to the Harmonized Insulating Glass Standard (HIGS), a test standard that contains three parts: high humidity testing; accelerated weathering testing; and volatile fog testing. The certification means that the glass meets the industry’s highest condensation resistance and durability standards. This is especially significant to commercial and home building owners since insulated sunroom space is composed mostly of glass, notes the company.
To lower energy usage further, Comfort-Gard Plus windows also employ Edgetech patented Super Spacer technology, a structural, non-metallic foam space 950 times less conductive than aluminum spaces, according to the company.
In addition, Super Spacer’s acrylic-based adhesive, multi-layer vapor barrier and reverse dual-seal technology using hot melt butyl deliver superior structural integrity, enabling insulating glass units to stand up to high wind loads, extreme temperature changes, and UV exposure.
