NORTH STAR WINDOWS
North Star Windows has earned a reputation for manufacturing and distributing attractive high-quality, energy efficient vinyl windows and doors.
DuHadway Corp. is the exclusive North Star Windows Distributor in the Fort Wayne area, and has earned a reputation for high quality installation.
Thermal performance is improved by combining 3 key components to improve the efficiency of the Insulated Glass Unit.
- Unique spacer system ( Super Spacer )
- Glass ( LoĒ³-366® glass)
- Insulated Glass ( Argon Gas )
WHAT IS SUPER SPACER?
Traditionally windows used a highly conductive metal spacer bar to hold the two panes of glass apart, which sucked heat from inside to the outside.
Super Spacer as a non-metal, pre-desiccated, structural foam spacer system provides excellent perimeter insulation for sealed glazing units .
Super Spacer is a flexible spacer that resists stress.
No seal failure!
what is LoĒ³-366® Glass?
Three layers of silver particles reflects the radiant heat.
In the summer 366 rejects the sun’s heat without affecting the view.
In the winter 366 reflects heat back into home.
Blocks 95% of harmful UV rays, helping to stop fading of carpets and drapes.
Insulated Glass
Thermal performance is improved by replacing the air between the panels of a window with argon gas, an inert, slow-moving gas.
Argon gas helps prevent heat loss to improve energy efficiency. Argon gas has a 34% lower thermal conductivity than air.
North Star’s argon injection process attains a 98% to 99% fill level ( Industry standard requires a level of just over 90% ) with a loss of less than 1% over 5 yrs.
