For a limited period of time, Milgard Window's 3DMax window upgrades are included at no charge in all PMHI packages ordered after 11/1/08.

3DMax will raise the energy efficiency of your windows up to 26% over ENERGY STAR window ratings by adding the following optional upgrades:

 

SSunCoatMAX™ provides the best clarity and highest performance of all solar gain Low-E glass products.

T The benefits to you are:

  • Increasing center glass surface temperature in winter = Comfortable, consistently cozy rooms.

  • Reducing solar gain another 34% over two-coat, low-E glass = Keeps your house cooler in the summer.

  • Providing 95% ultraviolet light blockage = Additional protection from UV-A and UV-B rays.

 

EdgeGuardMax™ is Milgard’s state-of-the-art spacer using a patented all-foam design that stops condensation from forming and literally extends the life of the glass.

The benefits to You are:

  • Conducting less energy = Maintaining a more constant temperature.

  • Blocking heat escape path = more year-round comfort.

  • Reducing condensation = Limiting moisture and unsightly streaks.

  • All-foam spacer expands and contracts = Less chance of seal failure or stress cracks.

  • Reduces noise transfer up to 18% over all-metal spacers = Helps keep outside noise where it belongsoutside.

Argon Gas added between the two glass panes.

Originally, the space between the two glass layers was filled with air just prior to sealing. In a sealed glass insulating unit, air currents between the two panes of glazing carry heat to the top of the unit and settle into cold pools at the bottom. Filling the space with a less conductive argon gas minimizes the convection currents within the space, conduction through the gas is reduced, and the overall transfer of heat between the inside and outside is reduced.
