Anatomy of a super window

Triple-Pane IGUs:

The Heart of Performance in a Super-Window: Triple-pane IGUs filled with a combination of air (typically 10%) and Argon (typically 90%). Argon, known for its insulating properties, performs optimally with wider spacer widths (e.g, 16-18mm). Other insulating gases, such as Krypton, are sometimes used in the IGU industry. When Krypton gas is utilized, smaller spacer widths should be employed since, unlike Argon, Krypton gas performs best as an insulator when it is more restricted.

Concealed, Multi-Point Hardware

Super windows not only deliver exceptional thermal performance but also feature concealed, multi-point hinge systems that provide unparalleled alrightness in operatble windows. The use of concealed hinges eliminates the need to cut through the primary air seal(s) of the windows. Beyond their performance benefits, concealed hinges offer a clean and seamless look on the interior face of the windows. With their concealed design, all that is visible is the elegant window frame.

Warm-Edge

Outdated aluminum spacers between glass panes lead to condensation issues and poor thermal performance due to their high conductivity. A superior window system incorporates warm-edge spacers made from materials with low heat transfer properties, resulting in improved performance and significantly reduced condensation risks.

Triple-Seal System

Zola's highly effective air-gasketing system, combined with standard concealed hinges (available in most product lines), offers unparalleled air-tightness. Three strategically located compression air seals run continuously around the sashes of operable windows, creating an airtight connection with the frame. These air seals, in conjunction with concealed multi-point hardware, contribute to an exceptional level of air-tightness
