As a leader in innovation, Point Five Windows now offers warm radiant glass with zero condensation and reduced use of the HVAC system.
  • The only fully integrated, ETL certified heated glass window in the world
  • Condensation resistance rating of 100 with higher temperature settings
  • Digital control temperature setting range up to 100 degrees F.
  • Normal window installation with standard J box electrical connection
  • Potential increased insulated glass longevity with reduced IG temperature swings
  • Comfortable warm glass eliminates the need for forced air window wash
The following documents (PDF) provide a great deal of information on this new window technology:

HEATED WINDOWS IN SAN JUAN ISLANDS

On the left, an exclusive home in the San Juan islands facing HVAC limitations chose radiant glass to provide a comfortable environment. 

The three largest windows, each with an integral digital control, allow the owner to raise the innermost glass surface to 100 degrees F.

 


TESTED FOR SAFETY

UL and ETL standards include a test for the safety of all electrical elements, appliances and components that are made available to the public. The windows pictured, like every Point Five radiant window, are being subjected to a "HiPot" (high potential) test wherein the unit is subjected to over 1200 volts. This charge is more than ten times normal line voltage. In addition, our standards dictate a leakage of less than 5 mA under this test when industry standards are 50 to 100 mA. Safety in your space is more important to us than anything.

UPSCALE OFFICE BUILDING WITH HEATED WINDOWS

Below, warm and comfortable while offering expansive views of the Rocky Mountains was the motivator for this upscale office building in Northern Colorado. While the value of comfort will take time to quantify, the marketing value is immediate.
