Enviroshield® Plus System

WHAT MAKES ENVIROSHIELD® PLUS SO UNIQUE?

EnviroShield® is a low-emissive (Low “E”) high-performance glass system. The key to EnviroShield’s performance is a proprietary metallic coating. Many other types of “Low E” glass consist of a single layer of metal oxide or silver. But EnviroShield® uses a proprietary two-layer silver coating that is spectrally selective.  It blocks out a significant amount of the infrared radiation that increases cooling costs and the ultraviolet radiation that damages fabrics, yet it lets in a high degree of visible light.  This same coating gives EnviroShield® superior performance in reducing heat loss through the glass, which means you will feel more comfortable and save more on heating costs in winter than you will with single-layer low “E” glass systems.

Low-conductance glass spacing makes the EnviroShield® system warmer at the edges than standard window systems.

The glass-to-metal contact of standard window spacer systems, makes those windows lose heat more quickly, which can cause unsightly and damaging condensation.  EnviroShield® with a low-conductance spacer makes the glass warmer all around -- keeping your home warmer and significantly reducing condensation.

 

EnviroShield® Max System

The patented Low-E EnviroShield System has just been improved to create some of the industry's most energy efficient windows and doors for the hot and humid Gulf Coast region.  Our EnviroShield Max system is considered our Heat Buster because it saves you money on your air conditioning system and monthly bills.  This new window system is unique in that it uses a triple coating of silver on the glass along with our patented spacer system.  At Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors we focus on constantly improving our product quality by enhancing our NFRC ratings.

Below are some of the statistics that show the difference between our EnviroShield® Plus and EnviroShield® Max systems.  The most important number from this chart is the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.  The lower this number is, the more savings you will incur on your monthly energy bills.  Switching to the EnviroShield® system can save you hundreds of dollars on your energy bills.

Our EnviroShield Plus comes standard on all of our products.
