Cascadia Windows & Doors and LuxWall Partner on Window System
Cascadia Windows & Doors and LuxWall announced a product partnership. This collaboration will bring to market an ultra-high-performance window system, designed for energy efficiency and sustainability.
By integrating LuxWall's Enthermal Plus transparent insulation into Cascadia's commercial-grade Universal Series fiberglass window frame, the companies are delivering a window product achieving an R-11+ total window insulating value. This represents an improvement over traditional vinyl, wood, wood clad, and aluminum windows, which typically range from R-2 to R-4 total window insulating value.
What company leaders say
"As energy codes become increasingly demanding and the need for ultra-efficient buildings grows, we are committed to offering the best-performing window solutions possible," says Mike Battistel, President at Cascadia Windows & Doors. "The combination of LuxWall's groundbreaking Enthermal transparent insulation and our fiberglass frames creates a window with energy performance levels that are truly transformative."
"Our collaboration with Cascadia Windows & Doors represents a major step forward for energy-efficient building design," says Scott Thomsen, Co-Founder and CEO of LuxWall. "LuxWall's Enthermal and Enthermal Plus transparent insulation is designed to provide superior thermal insulation and sustainability benefits, and when paired with Cascadia's industry-leading fiberglass frames, we are delivering an unmatched level of performance to the market."
Glass replacement for energy upgrades
In addition to combining the Universal Series with Enthermal Plus VIG as a complete window system, Cascadia will also offer glass-only retrofits or secondary window system retrofits, in which LuxWall's Enthermal is installed directly into existing window frames. This retrofit option enables commercial building owners to upgrade their thermal performance without the need for a complete window or envelope rehabilitation.
"Retrofitting existing older windows with high-performance glass can be a cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and minimize tenant disruption," says Battistel. "By integrating LuxWall's Enthermal™ into existing windows, we're providing a powerful solution to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions for commercial buildings that might otherwise struggle to meet modern efficiency standards, such as Energize Vancouver."
