RENOVATE by BERKOWITZ

Revolutionary Window Retrofit System
 

Patented in the United States and Canada

Convert your single pane windows to create an energy efficient, triple glazing system without the commitment of a full window replacement!

The RENOVATE by BERKOWITZ triple glazing system saves dramatic energy lost through the windows without disrupting current tenant activity.  It is an environmentally conscious and socially correct choice.  A traditional rip-out and reglaze creates additional landfill waste and is much more expensive.  RbB avoids this and helps green the building. RbB offers many benefits including:

                              ü       Improved thermal performance

                              ü       Considerably less cost then a rip-out

                              ü       Noise reduction / better acoustics

                              ü       No disruption of tenants

                              ü       Increased security

                              ü       Certified dealer / installer network

                              ü       Contributes to your LEED requirements

                                        (Potential of 6 – 30 points)

The area within 6 feet of the glass surface is uncomfortable. It’s too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.  Make it comfortable with RENOVATE.

�      RENOVATE triple glazing system can be supplied with the same glass options of our traditional IGUs

�      Trim can be customized for desired aesthetics

�      Permanent Solution – no maintenance or mechanical required

Definition

RbB is an interior glazing method of hermetically sealing a factory made insulating glass unit (IGU) to an existing monolithic glass window, with a special warm edge triseal, to create a triple glazed unit.  The basic component of the RbB triple glazing system is the IGU, which is fabricated by JEB in their state-of-the-art manufacturing plant with their top-notch machinery.
