The Armor Glass® Plus Series
Safer, More Secure Home
Products made by Gorell, the only window
manufacturer selected as a partner by the National Crime Prevention
Council, are designed to be tough to give you the best possible
protection at your home's most vulnerable intruder points—your windows
and doors. Our heavy-duty frames and sashes, superior locking hardware
and a unique process for bonding the glass to the frame give Gorell
windows added strength and security. These and other features enable our
windows to surpass all industry forced-entry tests. For even greater
security—and numerous other benefits—Gorell offers its acclaimed Armor
Glass® Plus option, which was showcased recently on
Discovery Channel's “It Takes a Thief” for its unique crime prevention
benefits.
The Armor Glass® Plus System
When it comes to real benefits that homeowners
appreciate, this Gorell glass option is unlike any other. You'll enjoy
greater security, sound control, safety, energy savings and UV protection
with windows and doors that include the Armor Glass® Plus insulating system.
This system actually is made up of three panes of glass. Two panes sandwich a
tough polyvinyl butyral interlayer that gives Armor Glass Plus its remarkable
properties for keeping out intruders, protecting against harmful UV rays and
keeping out noise. A SolarControl Plus® low-emissivity coating on the third pane
of glass and an argon gas-filled airspace provide superb energy efficiency.
Security: Armor Glass Plus keeps out
intruders, whereas alarm systems only let you know once an intruder has
already broken into your home.
Sound Control: No other insulating glass system deadens sound like
Armor Glass Plus to keep your home peaceful and quiet.
Safety: Armor Glass Plus complies with all the safety codes tempered
glass meets, plus it meets categories I and II of the Consumer Product Safety
Code.
UV Protection: The invisible polyvinyl butyral interlayer in Armor
Glass Plus is a major reason this glass filters over 99 percent of the UV
radiation spectrum that causes fading of carpeting, draperies and other home
furnishings—yet still allows in the light that plants need to grow .
Energy Savings: Armor Glass Plus windows and doors are ENERGY STAR®
qualified, providing as much as four times the thermal performance of
single-pane windows.
