CAP Collaboration Series: Design, Performance and the Modern European Window with Glo European Windows

Join our Corporate Allied Partner Glo European Windows for an hour long Continuing Education class on aluminum windows.

Course Description

An in depth review of the traditional aluminum window’s challenges, including condensation, convection and low thermal performance. We’ll also discuss technological advances of the modern thermally broken aluminum window that increase performance levels while still providing slim lines to architectural design. This course also provides an overview of different methods of installation including the many ways to ensure windows integrate seamlessly into the air tightness layer of the building envelope. As well as specific methods of flangeless-style window rough opening preparation, flashing and integration in the drainage plane.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the differences between traditional aluminum windows and slim thermally broken aluminum windows.
• Describe the features and benefits of the modern high-performing aluminum window, including warm edge spacers, low iron glass, viscous gasses, and larger thermal breaks with continuous insulation.
• Describe anatomy and different performance factors that are considered when selecting windows, such as, Ug, Uf, Uw, SHGC, and VLT.
• Explain weatherproofing methods for flangeless window installation and discuss different methods of flashing and air sealing.
