Our superior glass keeps Patio Enclosures' sunrooms warmer in winter, cooler in summer
As glass is the main component of your sunroom, we take pride in providing superior glass choices for use in various applications or climates. Our glass systems provide the best possible thermal performance in our sunrooms, solariums and conservatories, assisting in keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. We also offer a variety of tinted, coated and gas-filled options to meet your specific needs.
Custom Cut and Tempered
We custom cut all of our glass at our automated, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Macedonia, Ohio. We cut to exact dimensions up to 1/8” increments. Patio Enclosures, Inc. then tempers the glass for safety and insulates it to ensure superior quality. Tempered glass keeps you safe during accidental breakage, by allowing the glass to shatter into tiny pieces instead of sharp glass shards. We are proud to be the only sunroom manufacturer who performs this process in-house.
Single Pane Glass
We offer single pane systems for our AllView and AllView Elite sunrooms in a choice of clear glass, Azurlite®, Solarbronze® and SunClean®.
Insulated Glass Insulated glass units are comprised of two panes of glass and are popular choices for extending your seasonal use of your sunroom, as well as improving your heating and cooling performance. All our insulated glass units utilize Warm Edge Technology, a non-conductive spacer separating the panes of glass. Warm edge spacers reduce condensation, increase insulating performance and improve energy savings. Patio Enclosures utilizes Super Spacer®,a structural non-metallic foam spacer which blocks the heat escape path and increases the overall efficiency of the insulating glass by as much as 30%. In fact, our insulated glass has received the highest certification under H.I.G.S. (Harmonized Insulated Glass Standard) for durability and failure resistance by the Insulating Glass Certification Council.
Insulated glass is optional with the AllView and AllView Elite sunrooms, and is standard in the ComfortView.
When we combine PPG’s Sungate® 500 and Argon gas with one of the tint products below, our hybrid Comfort-Gard® glass is created.
The ultimate in performance is created when we combine Solarban® 60VT Low-E glass with Argon gas fill and one of the tint products below – Comfort-Gard® Plus. Comfort-Gard® Plus has superior U-value and is the highest quality glass available without the room darkening effects of the competitors.
SolarBronze®
A popular choice for both commercial buildings and all–glass rooms, Solarbronze glass has a warm bronze tint that reduces solar heat gain and glare, transmitting only 47% of visible light and just 21% of ultraviolet light.
Azurlite® Glass
Azurlite glass, a popular choice for both commercial and residential use, incorporates a slight blue tint that provides your home with reduced glare and UV protection, and reduces solar heat gain.
SunClean®
PPG's SunClean is the highest performing self-cleaning glass on the market. This unique glass product utilizes “photocatalyis” to burn off the adhesion of dirt and debris, and “hydrophilicity” to rinse clean without streaking or spotting.
The end result is an insulated glass package that provides the industry’s best overall thermal performance, condensation resistance and durability, resulting in lower energy costs, less condensation, reduced chances for mold growth and a reduction in outside noise.
Laminated glass is used in some Commercial applications as a safety feature. Also, acting as a sound deadener, laminated glass reduces outside noise. Laminated glass has a layer of plastic film sandwiched between two pieces of glass which holds the glass together in the event it should break.
The key to Sunroom comfort is a design providing maximum ventilation combined with appropriate glass selections, HVAC options and blinds and shades. Our educated Sunroom staff is trained to work with you to incorporate those options necessary to meet your climate conditions and use expectations.
