TPS
GLAZING
Our windows, manufactured by Schüco, are the first windows to offer the
TPS MAXX Glazing System in the U.S. These windows are widely renowned in Europe
for superior thermal efficiency. Designed to produce glass units of the highest
conceivable quality, performance and durability standards, the TPS System delivers
more superior insulating properties than most traditional spacer systems.
360° Non-Conductive,
Flexible Spacer.
Metal glass spacers in other window systems act as thermal conductors allowing
heat to escape during the winter, and heat to enter during the summer. Schüco
TPS MAXX sealants do not conduct thermal energy. TPS sealants expand and contract
simultaneously in response to temperature changes eliminating sheer stress, which
can cause seal failure in conventional units with metal spacers.
High
Performance, Reflective Coatings
Low-E coatings on Schüco windows increase insulation value because they
retain heat in the home during winter and conversely prevent heat from entering
your home in the summer.
A
Real Commitment To Quality
When applying a sealant to glass that has a Low-E coating, the edge of the glass
must be prepared to accept the seal. Many manufacturers skip this step, however
every piece of glass that we manufacture goes through a process called edge deletion.
Edge deletion involves a process of taking off the coating around the perimeter
of the glass unit so that the seal can bond to the glass without obstruction.
Testing has proven that failure to perform edge deletion of Low-E coated glass
can create corrosion due to exposure to moisture and or seal failure.
Creating Our Own Standard - And We Can Prove It
With our exclusive Schüco TPS MAXX system, making insulated glass units
is as easy as cooking your favorite recipe. And, with our computer optimized
gas-filling chamber, the entire glass unit is enveloped with your choice of argon
or krypton gas to ensure a complete and consistent fill every time. Your glass
package is then sealed in the same chamber where the unit was filled so there
is virtually no chance of gas loss before the final seal.
No
other window manufacturer can make that assurance.
Each glass unit is filled to a tested 99% plus capacity with high performance
argon or krypton gas, ensuring maximum energy performance the day your windows
are installed and more importantly, years from now our certified and tested TPS
MAXX Insulated glass system will still have the same amount of gas as the day
it was installed.
