Window Renovation with the Patented Bi-Glass® SystemRenovate rather than replace your historic windows! Retain your historic windows while making them energy efficient and completely functional again with the patented Bi-Glass System. Older homes are charming and beautiful. That’s why people love them. But the original windows, beautiful as they are, can be drafty and cold, sticky and hard to operate, and difficult to clean. But keep your historic windows! At Phoenix Window Technologies, we can renovate your original wood windows into energy-efficient, easy to use, great-looking windows without the expense of replacement. Phoenix Window Technologies offers the Bi-Glass System, a unique patented process that renovates existing historic wood window sash by replacing the original single pane glass with dual-pane Low E insulated glass, adding weather-stripping and installing insulation inside the weight pockets.
Advantages: The heat amount transferred through the glass is reduced by up to 2/3rds. Weather-stripping reduces air leakage around the sash, which translates to less energy required for both heating and cooling. Personal comfort is greatly improved in both winter and summer seasons. Other advantages are external noise mitigation, reduced condensation, and UV fade protection. More importantly, original wood windows, their historic character, and their "embodied energy" are all preserved, not thrown away.
How do we do it? Plus, the mess goes with us when we leave each day. We respect each property and owner, so keeping things clean is a top priority for our crews. Our patented Bi-Glass System works with casement windows, double-hung windows, awning and picture windows, too. Odd shapes and sizes, such as round-top windows, are no problem either. Even multi-paned windows can become energy-efficient with the Bi-Glass System. Are your sashes in bad shape? No problem. We can fix broken or rotted wood in your sash. Your old, single pane windows will have a new life after the Bi-Glass process. How does it work? Next, the old sash is taken out, and open cavities in the window frame are insulated to stop the flow of air through the sash. "Hidden" balances are installed to replace the rope & pulley system, making the window easy to operate. The wood sash is then routed and the new insulated double-pane glass installed. The new glass will keep heat in during the winter and the hot sun out during the summer. Next, weather stripping is added to secure leaks around the perimeter of the window. Finally, the completed, weather-tight sash is re-installed and the functionality restored. Why use Phoenix Window Technologies?
