WinSert Lite is a high performance product utilizing a super-insulated, low profile fiberglass frame in combination with an ultra-lightweight piece of thin glass (typically 1.3 mm for larger assemblies) laminated to a customized performance film.
WinSert Lite is an ideal choice for effectively managing solar heat gain while simultaneously addressing concerns about air infiltration and overall building envelope performance.
WinSert Plus is a similar high-performance product combining the same insulated, low profile fiberglass frame with a lightweight high performance insulated glass unit (IGU). This IGU is composed of thin glass combined with low-emissivity coated glass, a warm edge spacer and either argon or krypton gas fill to form a unique micro-insulated glass unit.
WinSert Plus is an ideal choice for existing building envelopes suffering from significant heat loss during cold weather months.
