Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope, Inc. (OBE) is enhancing its curtain wall and storefront portfolio with thin triple insulating glass units (IGUs), offering architects, builders, and glaziers a way to meet stringent energy codes without changing installation methods. These IGUs deliver a 25% improvement in energy efficiency while maintaining the same frame depth and weight as traditional double-glazed systems.
Engineered for IECC Climate Zones 3–8, the thin triple IGUs are designed for applications requiring maximum thermal performance, including education, healthcare, commercial offices, multifamily housing, retail, and government facilities. They fit seamlessly into OBE systems such as Reliance™ Cassette, Reliance™-TC, Reliance™-TC LT curtain walls, and Series 3000 MultiPlane storefronts, keeping fabrication and installation processes familiar.
Julie Schessler, OBE Product Manager, highlights that the solution achieves triple-pane performance without the challenges of heavier, deeper traditional triple glazing, offering industry-leading efficiency with familiar installation methods.
