Serious Materials
Windows are the largest opportunity for improvement
• We develop and manufacture green building
materials that save energy, save money, improve
occupant comfort, and aggressively address
climate change
• Super energy efficient residential windows &
commercial glass
Our Mission: to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by one billion tons annually

Elements of a High Performance Window
Foam insulated frame
Dual or triple perimeter seal
Warm edge spacer
Inert gas fill
Internal films/panes
Wide insulated glass pocket
Wide insulated glazing unit
Low conductivity frame
Wet glazing
Multiple layers of weather stripping
