ThermalScreen is an upgrade‑ready insulating window screen/next generation storm window that combines the appearance of a standard screen with the energy performance of advanced glass technologies. Designed for window manufacturers, building owners, and weatherization programs, it installs and removes easily using simple, intuitive hardware. Ultra‑clear concealed interior Low‑E glass panels deliver 60%–150% efficiency improvements while maintaining full architectural neutrality. The platform is also designed to accommodate a wide range of next‑generation glass innovations, with several versions under development, such as vacuum‑insulated, smart, bird‑safe, and photovoltaic options—and can integrate add‑ons such as wireless security sensors or security mesh. ThermalScreen revitalizes existing windows, boosts the performance of new ones to meet demanding energy performance standards, and provides a cost‑effective alternative to storm windows or full window replacement across residential, commercial, and retrofit applications. For window and glass manufacturers, ThermalScreen enables the adoption of emerging glass technologies and energy‑performance levels without requiring any redesign of existing window lines.

Hardware supplier VBH has introduced a new hardware system to suit its Sheerline Prestige aluminum lift and slide patio doors. greenteQ ClearLIFT Slim has been developed with Italian hardware supplier AGB and is ideal for slimline lift and slide patio doors.

It accommodates sliding sashes weighing up to 550 pounds as standard, with the option to increase capacity to 880 pounds with the addition of just one item. ClearLIFT Slim allows the creation of sliding panels measuring up to 12 feet wide and 8.8 feet high, designed to flood any room with natural light.

Security is provided by two sturdy hook bolts, with the option to add additional hooks in the middle and at the top of the door if required. The hooks retract into the sash when the door is open, and the striker plates are flush to the frame. This provides a neat finish to the door and eliminates the risk of items snagging on any projections into the opening.

Further optional extras include a ventilation position, the Auto-Brake Closing Damper that gently slows the sliding sash down as it approaches the frame and the Opening Damper that provides a controlled opening of the door. Optional Assisted Operation Kits make both the lifting and dropping operations easier for the user.

The first major ClearLIFT Slim installation has been carried out by BSW Window Solutions of Peterborough, who installed 96 sets in a new apartment development in west London.
