To Homeowners
The following specifications
are for use by architects, planners and engineers. It allows
them to easily specify a class of product to be used in
a job.
Many of these specifications
are extremely tough, but you may rest assured that Advanced Energy Panels meet them all. |

The Window insulation panel is for application to
the interior side of an existing window.
Materials
- Glazing shall be TWO layers of 1mil, triple
layer, extruded, cross-linked Polyolefin with haze of 2.7% or less,
instrumented impact of 28.5 pounds or more, tensile strength of
15,200 psi or greater and a shrink factor of 13 to 22% at 200 degrees
F.
- Frame rails, stiles, and muntins shall
be extruded aluminum, 7/16" x ¾" in exterior dimension,
.060" wall thickness, provided with glazing retention grooves
on two opposite sides.
- Frame shall be weatherstripped on all surfaces
which contact primary window frame.
- Metal frame shall be finished with durable
white or brown paint.
- Corner fasteners shall be structural nylon
in matching colors.
- Mullions shall be formed H-channels capable
of sealing and securing adjacent panel sections and shall be color
matched.
Construction
- Panel shall be added as a supplement on
the interior side of an existing exterior window.
- Panel shall be custom built to match exact
fit with existing window.
- Mounting options shall include a choice
of front surface mount or recessed inside the jambs.
- Panels shall be easy to remove and replace,
needing only a screwdriver or no tools, depending on configuration.
- Panels may optionally have provision for
self-storing of sub-panels in place upon each other, and for creating
modular coverage of very large (ten feet by ten feet or larger)
window areas.
- Panel shall be built with two essentially
clear and airtight glazing surfaces, plus a perimeter draft stop
of compressible weatherstrip material.
Performance
- Panel shall provide immediate comfort and
energy savings.
- Panel shall virtually stop drafts and air
infiltration.
- Tested insulation value shall outperform
Energy Star northern zone criteria panel in combination with existing
windows shall have a tested U-factor of .31 or less.
- Panel shall have a minimal visual effect upon the
exterior architecture, and minimal and totally reversible effect
on interior architecture.
- Panel shall reduce condensation and noise.
- Glazing material shall have high clarity.
- Glazing material shall have the ability
to withstand the impact of a 50mph regulation baseball without breaking.
- Fire and smoke hazards shall be minimal:
glazing material shall have a self ignition temperature, per ASTM-D-1929
of no less than 660F; an average time of burn of 5 seconds or less
and average extent of burn of 1.4" or less, per ASTM-D-635;
and a smoke density, per ASTM-D-2843 of less than 37%.
