• Hopper - A window with a bottom-hinged sash that opens inward for ventilation.

• I.G. Unit (Insulating Glass Unit) - Two or more lites of glass separated by a spacer and hermetically sealed at the glass edges.

• Intercept® Spacer System - Spacer system using a U-channel design to reduce the number of conduction paths.

• KeepSafe® glass - Specially designed glass where two panes of glass are bonded to a durable plastic interlayer, providing increased safety, UV protection and noise reduction. If the window gets broken the glass will adhere to the plastic interlayer - preventing glass fallout in the home. KeepSafe® is a registered trademark of Monsanto.

• Krypton Gas - An inert, odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-toxic gas which is about 12 times more dense than air. It is used to replace air between the glass panes to reduce temperature transfer and deter convection. Used when a higher performance is desired than that produced with Argon gas.
