by AF 1013 d3 — October 16, 2009—Southwall Technologies Inc., a worldwide innovator of energy-saving films and glass products, announced that it will supply the high performance insulating glass for Innovision Windows, a line of residential and commercial-grade fiberglass windows introduced by Owens Corning, Inc., a world’s leading manufacturer of fiberglass insulation and building materials.
Southwall Insulating Glass, a joint venture company formed by Southwall last year to streamline the production of super-insulating glass incorporating Heat Mirror suspended film technology, will manufacture the glass for Owens Cornings’ newest window family.
Innovision windows’ combination of Heat Mirror insulating glass honored by Popular Science magazine as one of the top 100 inventions of the millennium with the industry’s first fully bonded, slim-line fiberglass frame delivers a lightweight window with maximum strength and durability, a larger glass area, and superior energy efficiency, says the company.
Heat Mirror glass suspends one or more low-emissivity and solar-reflective Heat Mirror films inside an insulating glass unit to create two, three or even four insulating cavities without adding weight, says the company. This approach enables window fabricators to offer higher performance glass options for their existing window systems today as well as for next-generation window systems in development.
