The ViewPoint Green Point-Of-View
Our goal at ViewPoint is to provide you with energy-efficient, maintenance-free products that help to lower your energy bills. But we don’t stop there!
From our environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes to our recycled content, our goal is to produce high-performance windows that meet or exceed current energy-efficiency standards.
Saving You Energy & Money
Our warm-edge glass sealant systems insulate the window frame and edge of glass up to 50 percent better than roll-formed metal spacers and up to 90 percent better than aluminum spacer bars.
Our low-E glass includes up to three layers of a thin silver coating that allows ample visible light to pass through, while blocking infrared and ultraviolet radiant solar energy. The result: Cooler rooms in summer and warmer rooms in winter.
Insulating gas options, such as argon or krypton, increase the energy-savings by allowing you to heat and cool your home for less.
The majority of our vinyl is compounded and extruded in-house, which allows us to reduce our waste and control our recycling efforts. We recycle our vinyl scrap to maximize yield and minimize the impact on local landfills.
Our lead-free PVC vinyl is not petroleum-based, so its production requires no burning and generates no harmful gases.
Reclaimed glass from external and internal sources makes up 24 to 28 percent of the raw materials used to produce our glass.
Extended life cycles for many of our windows help save energy in America’s homes.
