Laminated Glass Windows for Security, Noise, & Insulation

Think of your car windshield for a moment. You know, you could take a sledgehammer to it and the most damage you could do, would be to bend in the glass--while the whole windshield remains intact! Now think high-strength, high-security windows for your home.

Laminated glass has ‘soft coat’ coatings on BOTH panes of glass to reduce UV rays up to 99% (think no more discolored furniture, hardwood floors, artwork, and almost zero heat radiation).

Laminated glass is two pieces of glass, bonded together over a high-strength plastic interlayer. When bonded, the plastic interlayer becomes invisible to the naked eye, yet will stop a burglar and his sledgehammer in their tracks. In addition, sound transmission noise is reduced to the barest minimum. Live near a train track? You need this window. Live in a crime area or have burglar bars hiding your view of the outdoors? This window is for you. Stop living in a noisy fortress!

Other features of these windows include a ‘desiccated matrix’ material inside the glass pack to absorb any water vapor that might get in, the stuff that causes that milky-white, fogging, 'raining inside my window' look. Add to that, the ‘tilt-in’ sashes for very easy cleaning (there is such a thing!). This means, when you finish cleaning the outside window glass from your family room, you won't have to wrestle the sashes back into the frame. It’s neat and easy. The windows still have a lifetime warrantee on the screen, interlocking meeting rail, corrosion resistant and color matched hardware and lifetime, transferable warranty. With beautiful looking grids, in between the glass, in six painted or stained colors. They still contain "titanium dioxide" meaning your white, beige or clay windows will not fade more than 2% over a 50 year period. It's the same stuff used in your sun tanning lotion.

Sears Home Services still offers custom built windows to your openings, double-hung, casement and geometric shapes--not to mention standard and non-standard size, sliding patio doors, bow and bay window systems, and garden windows.

To top it all off, Sears Certified Installers are ranked among the best in the country. Fully qualified, fully insured, fully nice! And they usually replace all your windows in just one day! They even clean the windows before they show you around and say goodbye. The only thing you have to do is put the lifetime warranty papers in the drawer and stare out at your little part of the earth.
