As the only manufacturer of both sputter-coated (soft-coat) and pyrolytic (hard-coat) glass, AGC is the only single-source provider of the complete range of low-e glass technology to meet the demands of North American residential construction. Today, the powerful combination of both low-e technologies is beautifully illustrated with our U4-4th surface technology, allowing residential architects and window manufacturers to achieve the enhanced energy performance of a triple-pane IGU in a traditional dual-pane IGU (insulated glass unit) .

AGC is also unique in our ability to supplement residential window and door manufacturers’ fabrication requirements, including custom sizes and tempering, to providing finished IGUs, with your choice of spacers. To learn more about these services, contact your AGC representative today.
