Windows that are better for the environment

BASF has conducted an Eco-Efficiency Analysis which indicates that windows with Thermoplastic Spacers (TPS) are better for the environment than competitive technologies. How?

Windows with TPS technology provide superior insulation properties and protection against argon gas leakage, helping increase energy efficiency for homes for many years.

Insulated glass with TPS is 100% recyclable.

TPS can contribute to points to LEED certification in the categories of energy and atmosphere Credit 1 (Optimize Energy Performance), indoor environmental quality Credit 4.1 (Low Emitting Materials: Adhesives & Sealants), and Innovation in Design.

Energy Star® requirements for windows will have stricter performance levels for windows by 2012. You can get a head start towards meeting these more stringent regulations.
