For architects

The architect portal.

Pick the glass, see its certified numbers, and leave with a performance submittal for your project. No waiting on a rep.

The architect portal's glass picker: a table of glass options with certified U-factor, SHGC, VT, OITC and STC for a Vi6 casement, one row selected
What is inside

From a glass choice to a submittal, in one sitting.

The submittal builder: window types ticked on the left, a preview of the performance submittal on the right
A submittal that builds itself

Tick the window types on your project. For each one the portal pulls in the NAFS test summary, the NFRC energy values with their certificate numbers, and the sound report, all for the glass you picked. You get one PDF, ready for the spec book.

The downloads page: product books, the guide specification, install details, cross-sections and wall details, each with a download button
Everything to specify and detail

Product books, the guide specification, install details, cross-sections, wall details, CAD, and the color and hardware charts. One place, kept current, so nobody details from an old PDF.

The budgetary cost window, open over a finished submittal: one line per window type with its glass and the change in cost against the base glass, and a guidance-only notice
Then, the budget

See what the glass does to the cost.

With the submittal built, one button opens the budgetary cost. Every window type on your project is listed with its glass and what that choice does to the budget, measured against the base glass. Quieter or more efficient glass costs more. Here you see how much more before the spec is locked.

It is guidance, and the window says so. A firm price comes from the plans.

New: the window schedule tool

Draw the windows. Get the schedule.

Draw Vi5 windows on screen and leave with certified ratings, a 36 × 24 schedule sheet, a DXF and a CSV. The video shows how, in under two minutes.

How it goes

Six steps. The first is a short form.

01Ask for access

Give us your name, firm and work email. Access is by invitation, and you see only your own projects.

02Add a project

One project, one address. Everything you build is saved under it.

03Pick the glass

Filter the certified library by U-factor, SHGC and sound. Bird-safe and acoustic glass are in there too.

04Build the submittal

One section per window type. The numbers fill themselves in.

05Check the budget

See what a glass choice does to cost, relative to the base glass, before you commit the spec to it.

06Get a real price

Send the plans from the same screen when you are ready for a firm number.

Why it exists

The same numbers we use.

The portal reads the same glass database as our own submittals and this website. For certified glass, the U-factor, SHGC and VT are the NFRC-certified values, and the submittal attaches the page of the NFRC report they come from. The figure in your spec is the figure on the label.
