Doors and windows are a major component when building a new home; they allow light into homes, provide ventilation, and need tight seals to prevent leaks. Home owners often buy windows, doors and the skylights from three different suppliers. This may result in small savings, but the quality will vary between window schedules. Site lines will vary between units, frame colors never match, and glazing warranties are different. To avoid this situation, Solar Innovations, Inc. suggests utilizing the same single source supplier for all doors, windows, skylights, and curtain walls.

Solar Innovations, Inc. offers a complete line of doors, windows, skylights, and curtain walls, which are manufactured in-house at our Pennsylvania facility. Framework is constructed out of a durable aluminum, which will not rot, warp, rust, or require constant finish maintenance. The finish and site lines on all products will be exactly the same and warranties are supplied through a single glass company.

Glass products will aid in the collection of heat by allowing sunlight to enter, in turn warming homes, and reducing heating. In summer, shades can be utilized to reduce the build-up of solar heat gain. In addition to sunlight, these products can provide entertainment during rainy days or when a spectacular view is available.

Solar Innovations, Inc. products are constructed of aluminum, with a thermal break, which increases energy efficiency. Unlike wooden frames, aluminum will not warp or rot. PVC frames also deteriorate and become brittle over time, while aluminum retains its strength and finish. There are five standard paint finishes, two anodized finishes, and custom colors (for an additional charge) offered. When sourcing through many manufacturers, it is impossible to acquire the same frame finishes. White frames rarely match; each manufacturer creates a unique shade of white. The same situation will arise with all standard color offerings.

Solar Innovations, Inc. offers window schedules which include awning, casement, hopper, transoms, fixed and tilt turn. Door schedules are offered in folding, sliding, stacking, pivoting, terrace, French, Dutch, and arched top. Skylights can be produced to fit any configuration, including double pitch, hip end, conservatory nose, flat, operable, and retractable. Curtain walls, which display products and capture heat, are used in both residential and commercial applications. Solar Innovations, Inc. incorporates doors and windows into a curtain wall, maintaining the same sight lines. The finished result will be a building full of glass products, which all have the same frame finish, same glass, and sight lines.

Curtain walls are typically thought to be used primarily for commercial products. They are commonly employed as storefronts and in large facades. However, curtain walls also have residential applications. A home’s exterior can incorporate large spans of glass; entire walls can consist of a glass curtain wall. Curtain walls are also commonly used as divisions of space. A glass interior curtain wall can be used to divide two rooms, allow light to pass through both spaces, provide an unobstructed view, and creating an open feeling desired by many home owners.

Solar Innovations, Inc.’s combines insulated, double pane tempered glazing with stainless steel spacers; Low-e glazing improves energy efficiency; sandblasted and acid etched decorative glazing is available; grid work can be added to the glass as interior muntins or SDL’s.

Curtain walls can be incorporated into many aspects of the home, in varying sizes and configurations. Windows are available in numerous configurations, including awning, casement, tilt turn, hopper and fixed styles (hyperlinks). Single terrace doors, French doors, sliding doors, folding glass walls, pivot doors, and stacking walls are offered through Solar Innovations, Inc. Skylights can be designed to any configuration, such as double pitch, dome, radius, hip end, lean-to, and flat. Each unit is custom manufactured; there are no standard sizes in storage, waiting to be ordered.
