Our Product Lines
At Southwest Florida Construction, we understand that energy efficiency is more important than ever. That’s why we are continuously looking for ways to make our windows and doors as thermally efficient as possible. From the materials we use and the glass packages we offer to our dedication as a dealer of ENERGY STAR partnered products, we’ve got you covered when it comes to energy efficiency.
Premium Vinyl
The premium vinyl used in our windows and doors is an excellent insulator. Its thermal properties are far superior to aluminum, steel and stainless steel.
Glass Coatings
Simonton windows and doors are available with ProSolar® Low E glass. A transparent metallic oxide coating applied to the glass surface allows short-wave energy to pass through but reflects long-wave infrared energy for greater thermal efficiency.
For advanced Low E protection, Simonton offers ProSolar® Shade. This spectrally selective glass blocks damaging UV rays while allowing desirable light into the home, providing the ultimate in solar heat control, visibility and energy savings.
Gas Fill
The space inside an insulating glass unit—between the glass panes—may be filled with Argon gas, an odorless, non-toxic gas that is six times denser than air. This acts as an added barrier for a higher level of efficiency. Available in some regions of the country, Krypton gas is even denser than Argon gas and further maximizes energy efficiency and temperature transfer.
Spacer Systems
Most Simonton windows and doors feature unique spacer systems. Made of highly thermally prohibitive materials, these are placed between the glass panes and further reduce temperature transfer.
Intercept® Spacer System
- Unique U-channel design minimizes conduction for increased efficiency and comfort.
- Durable long-lasting design.
- U-shaped design flexes and contracts, reducing seal failure in the insulating glass unit.
Supercept™ Spacer System
- Made of durable stainless steel alloy.
- Unique U-channel design minimizes conduction for increased efficiency and comfort.
- One-piece, flexible design and patented web corner system that greatly reduces sealant stress and seal failure in the insulating glass unit.
Super Spacer® System
- Solid silicone foam provides superior energy efficiency.
- Does not conduct energy as quickly as metal spacers.
- Silicone foam is flexible and helps reduce stress cracks.
Laminated Glass
Some glass packages contain laminated glass. A transparent interlayer is adhered to a pane of glass, acting as a barrier against energy loss, noise transmission and forced entry.
