Divided Lites
Grilles Between the Glass (GBGs): GBGs are permanent grills installed between glass panes for low maintenance and easy cleaning. Choose from six exterior colors and three interior colors.
Simulated Divided Lite (SDL): SDL bars are energy-efficient and can be used to create authentic divided lites. They are permanently attached to both sides of the glass and can be paired with or without a spacer bar to create depth.
Simulated Divided Lite with Spacer Bar (SDLS): SDLS, paired with SDL bars, adds a spacer bar for a closer resemblance to the authentic divided lites look.
Glass
Performance Glass
Low E2: Offers year-round performance in moderate climates by reflecting heat back to its source.
Low E3: Rejects solar heat while letting light in, increasing performance in climates with intense sun exposure.
Low E3/ERS: Provides maximum efficiency year-round in all conditions with an extra metallic layer on the room-side glass to reflect escaping heat back into the room.
Specialty Glass
Laminated: Laminated glass is stronger than tempered glass and is often referred to as impact-resistant or safety glass due to its vinyl interlayer that tends to remain in place when cracked.
STC/OITC: Sound Transmission Class and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class Glass have increased pane thickness, suitable for areas with exterior noise concerns.
California Fire Glass: California fire glass is a dual-pane option, with one pane made of regular or annealed glass and the other tempered glass to meet the California fire zone code.
