UV-Ban Is Important!

UV radiation transmitted through windows is substantially responsible for the cumulative fading and overall degradation of household furnishings throughout North America. The medical community is increasingly advising their patients of the potentially negative health benefits of UV transmission through window glass.
UV blocking glass technology is almost universally used to protect precious art and historical artifacts, and now it is available to protect your most important possessions - your health and your home.

Nu-Sash UV-Ban Provides Superior Fade Control. Under 10-Year Accelerated Exposure Simulation this picture illustrates how the fading energy of the sun can damage household furnishings that are unprotected by Nu-Sash UV-Ban Glass.

ComfortEdge™ Spacers Help Your Windows Last Longer

Nu-Sash windows feature the ComfortEdge Spacer System. The U-shaped design reduces the surface area and mass of the spacer, eliminating one of the two energy-transfer bridges found in conventional spacers. In addition, the spacer is made of an alloy material which insulates up to 15% better than aluminum.


ComfortEdge™ spacers flex instead of the sealant during temperature changes, so they resist spacer movement and sealant failure.

Strengthen your weakest link

Nu-Sash Hardglass® is stronger than regular window glass. Standard windows
are made
from single strength 3/32" glass. The same thickness of Nu-Sash
Hardglass® is at least four times stronger (as shown in the graph).
It can withstand impacts up to 24,000 lbs. per square inch. A window this
strong can protect you and your loved ones from the unexpected
punishment of violent weather, accidents, and unwanted intruders
that occur every day across the country and in your neighborhood.
