Comprehensive Energy Efficiency
Minmar's approach to energy efficiency combines multiple innovative technologies that work together as a complete system. From advanced glass coatings and insulated frames to warm-edge spacers and precision weathersealing, every component is engineered to maximize thermal performance while enhancing comfort and durability.
Glass Technologies
Advanced glass solutions that regulate temperature and block harmful UV rays.
Low-E Glass
Learn more →Microscopic metallic coating reflects infrared energy while allowing visible light to pass through.
TwinSeal Dual Glass
Learn more →Double-pane insulated glass with argon gas fill and Low-E coating for superior performance.
Frame Technologies
Engineered frame designs that minimize thermal transfer and maximize insulation.
Multi-Chamber Design
Learn more →Frame and sash profiles with multiple internal chambers that create insulating air pockets.
Thermal Reinforcement
Learn more →Fiberglass-enhanced vinyl frames that provide structural strength without compromising thermal performance.
Fusion-Welded Corners
Learn more →Heat-welded frame corners create an airtight seal that prevents heat loss and air infiltration.
Spacer Technologies
Advanced systems that separate glass panes while minimizing heat transfer at the edge.
Warm-Edge Technology
Learn more →Specialized edge sealing system that reduces edge-of-glass heat loss and condensation.
Enhanced Desiccant
Moisture-absorbing materials within the spacer system that prevent fog and condensation between glass panes.
Weathersealing Technologies
Complete sealing systems that eliminate drafts and prevent air and water infiltration.
Triple Weatherstripping
Learn more →Multiple weatherstripping barriers create an airtight seal between operating sash and frame.
Compression Seals
Learn more →Specially designed gaskets that compress when the window is closed for a complete weathertight seal.
Corner Seal Technology
Learn more →Enhanced sealing at window and door corners, traditionally the most vulnerable areas for air leakage.
