Window & Door - August 2010

TRUSEAL

The award-winning Envirosealed Windows program is being highlighted by Truseal Technologies at GlassBuild in September. The Envirosealed Windows campaign is designed to simplify environmental and energy savings messaging for window manufacturers and dealers by highlighting the thermal efficiency benefits of top performing spacer systems. Program participants can address the growing demand for green products through consumer-ready educational tools such as literature, point-of-sale pieces and a dedicated Web site. Marketing pieces tout benefits like lower energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions that are made possible by using Truseal’s Dura Platform flexible spacer systems, including Duralite and Duraseal spacers. Through the Envirosealed Windows program, the company helps manufacturers choose from a variety of precertified component packages that yield windows exceeding current tax credit requirements. Producers are able to economically create Envirosealed Windows with ratings as high as R- 6 (0.17 U-value), which is 50 percent better than Energy Star 2010 criteria, according to the supplier.

PRES-ON Made from a blend of finely-ground tire rubber and plastics, new eco-friendly separator pads and setting blocks are available in either EPDM or neoprene commercial-grade rubber. While some recycled rubber products may leave behind unsightly stains on metal or glass, Pres-On blocks and pads are certified to the most stringent stain-resistant testing requirements, the supplier states. Superior impact strength, low specific gravity and weather resistance are other advantages of the recycled rubber. In addition, the pads and blocks can be recycled again and again.
