It can be ordered in three standard color frames (bronze, white and mill finish), and shipped to anywhere in the continental US from our San Carlos, California facilty in ten business days.

Light: Only 79% of visible light is transmitted through standard clear insulated windows. The "Energy Master" transmits nearly 70% of all visible light because it utilizes a color neutral low emisivity coating to provide optimum energy performance with what appears to be clear glass.

Cold: Heat loss is minimized by the use of one-inch thick insulated, coated, dehydrated air spaced glass that provides a 3.45 R value. The "low e" coating reflects heat back into the house to retain the warm interior air. The "Universal Energy Master’s" insulated performance is comparable to the highest rated windows available in the residential or commercial window market at a Winter Nighttime "U" value of 0.29.

Heat: Heat gain is reduced to only 44% of heat normally transmitted through standard window glass by the use of the latest glass technology as produced by PPG and Cardinal, two of the largest glass producers in the world. "Energy Master" utilizes this high performance "low-e", wave length selective, coated glass that is engineered to reflect unwanted heat gain without the use of dark tints or highly reflective coatings.

Glare: A 15% reduction in light transmission is in effect also a 15% reduction of unwanted glare from the sun, from water or any other nearby annoying exterior reflective surface. This is done without the use of a tinted or reflective-surfaced glass. Clear window glass has a 15% outdoor reflectance. "The Universal Energy Master" is less reflective than standard window glass with an outdoor reflectance of only 12%

Sound: The sound reduction capabilities for the "Energy Master" at the center of glass as tested by the original vinyl manufacturer is designated in the industry as an STC 40. This Sound Transmission Classification means that the glass is a better sound barrier than a standard residential interior wall.

Ultra Violet: The primary cause of fading in all furniture and furnishings, at about 60%, is the invisible, ultra violet rays of the sun. "The Universal Energy Master" contains components developed to eliminate 99% of Ultra Violet Rays below 380 nanometers that have 50 times greater damage potential than visible light at 500 nanometers.

Safety: "The Universal Energy Master" is glazed with tempered safety glass and laminated safety glass. Both are tested to meet impact requirements for doors and sidelights and are permanently labeled by the manufacturer to meet all Safety Glazing Code Requirements. Because of the polyvinyl interlayer of the laminated glass, broken glass will not fall out of the "Energy Master" whether broken by man or storm or earthquake or other act of God.

Security: Glass used in the "The Universal Energy Master" provides security against burglary and forced entry by the use of tempered safety glass combined with tempered two-ply laminated architectural glass with an .060 polyvinyl interlayer. Its resistance to forced entry will meet Underwriters Laboratory Test UL972.

Silicone Seal: The insulated glass component of "The Universal Energy Master" is made with a primary moisture seal of polyisobutelene to seal in the dehydrated air space. A secondary structural silicone seal is applied to glue the two pieces of glass together. This structural silicone is the strongest and most UV stable glass sealant on the market. This combination provides a dual seal insulated unit for the most reliable and longest lasting insulated glass available.

Hurricane: Stringent standards have been established for glass products to protect home owners from flying objects in areas subject to hurricane force winds. "Energy Master" glazing will withstand winds in excess of one hundred miles per hour and will meet SBCCI and SSTD12 test standards to resist Small Missile Impacts from Windborne Debris in Hurricanes.

Snow Load: "The Universal Energy Master" is designed for true tough climate applications with a snow load capacity of 300 pounds per square foot on skylights from virtually flat roofs to steep slopes of six in twelve pitch or greater. Structural curbs and roof design must be prepared to accommodate the skylight that is designed for 2x curbs built perpendicular to the roof slope.

Warranties: "The Universal Energy Master" has a Lifetime Waterpruf Warranty to the original owner and is guaranteed not to leak. Curb construction, roofing and flashing are the responsibilities of the installer. Glass Warranty excludes any and all glass breakage incidental or otherwise from any cause or any circumstance. The Insulated Glass Seal Warranty is that of the glass supplier and is subject to their conditions and limitations. Generally the seal warranty is five years pro-rated from the date of purchase to the original owner.
