Industry Leading Glass Performance. Keeps You Cooler In The Winter And Warmer In The Summer.
At Admiral Sunrooms, Inc., we understand that that the most important component to your sunroom's construction is the glass that is used. This is why we use a patent-pending Double Silver Titanium Low-E glass called Comfort TI-AC™ as the standard glass in each of our sunrooms.
Backed by Energy Star, this revolutionary glass technology is by far the most advanced glass in the industry. Featuring a lovely, neutral appearance TI-AC™ will combine solar control and energy efficiency in a beautiful, non-reflective glass structure.
Admiral's Comfort TI-AC™ glass also minimizes the transfer of heat between interior and exterior spaces. A feature which results not only in a comfortable interior room temperature on a year round basis, but may lower utility bills as well. Comfort TI-AC™ glass also controls UV light transmission. The glass blocks out nearly 90% of the damaging UV rays sent from the sun, which will not only protect you and your family, but will protect your furniture, rugs and artwork from fading.
Another property of Admiral's Comfort TI-AC™ is its strength. Comfort TI-AC™ is made with tempered safety glass, a characteristic that makes Admiral's sunrooms nearly five times stronger than any other glass on the market. In recent tests, our glass has even deflected a 35mph fast ball, ensuring that the Comfort TI-AC™ is superior in strength, safety and security when compared to other glass structures.
The glass found in Admiral's sunroom structures has also received AAMA Gold Label Certification. This certification is the mark of "integrity and assurance of quality" for windows and doors. In order to receive this honor, Admiral's Comfort TI-AC™ glass system had to meet the following 6 criteria:
Air Leakage - No more than AAMA's prescribed level of air infiltration can leak past the window.
Water Infiltration - At AAMA specified pressures, no water leakage is allowed.
Forced Entry - Structure must maintain a prescribed level of resistance to forced (unwanted or criminal entry).
Component Performance - All windows have parameters regulating the force required for their operation. This ensures that the windows within your structure will be easy to operate.
Structural Integrity - This test is completed to ensure that the sash members will not pull away from the glass.
Structural Resistance - Windows must be able to withstand AAMA specified wind loads.
