Product catalog summary
Overview: LightWise® Architectural Systems offers energy-efficient glass block panels that combine aesthetic appeal with functional benefits. These panels are designed to enhance interior environments by regulating temperature and providing security and beauty.
Specifications: Each glass block features a low-emissivity coated glass panel that helps maintain interior warmth in winter and coolness in summer. The blocks offer a 25% improvement in U-Value and a 60% improvement in solar heat gain. The unframed U-Value is 0.34, while the framed U-Value is 0.38.
Performance Standards: The panels meet ASTM C1363 standards for thermal transmittance and NFRC 201-2004 standards for solar heat gain coefficient. They also comply with ASTM E2190 – 08 for insulating glass unit performance, with a frost point at -60°F.
Design and Customization: LightWise panels are visually appealing and easy to install. They can be customized to meet specific project needs and contribute to LEED points. The panels are available in various patterns, including DecoRA®, Icescapes®, VUe®, and Delphi®.
Additional Features: The panels are graffiti-resistant, damage-resistant, and easy to clean. They are framed by a 2-piece aluminum channel, available in mill finished, anodized clear, or bronze, with powder coating options.
