MITER Brands, a family of leading window and door brands, recently announced the expansion of its Triton™ Advanced Glass Systems portfolio, adding Triton™ Advanced Impact Glass to the full line of PGT® Windows and Doors WinGuard® Vinyl products. Engineered to deliver the uncompromising storm protection of traditional impact windows, Triton Advanced Impact, featuring Corning® Enlighten™ Glass, offers reduced weight for ease of operation and installation, noise reduction, enhanced clarity, improved durability, and year-round comfort.
“The PGT team is excited to offer our WinGuard Vinyl products with innovative Triton Advanced Impact Glass,” said Steven Starkey, Vice President of Sales, MITER Brands-South. “Perfect for Florida and the other coastal regions for which our WinGuard Vinyl product line is designed, this advancement in glass technology moves the industry forward by delivering the storm protection of traditional impact windows and doors in a significantly lighter package, expanding what’s possible for impact-rated construction and replacement projects.”
Triton Advanced Impact Glass features MITER Brands’ proprietary Triton Glass Sandwich™, which bonds micro-thin Corning Enlighten Glass to a flexible, shatter-resistant interlayer, creating a single lightweight, exceptionally strong pane of glass. The interlayer also helps to reduce outside noise for a more comfortable indoor environment.
Laminated insulating glass units are further enhanced by the long-lasting H.B. Fuller® 4SG® Fusion Bonded Spacer, which creates an energy-efficient air barrier that minimizes heat transfer and resists moisture penetration to reduce fogging. These two innovations, combined with the low thermal conductivity of the product line’s vinyl frames, create unprecedented strength and energy performance.
Designed to meet the stringent Miami-Dade testing standards for the highest level of hurricane protection, Triton Advanced Impact delivers impact-rated performance in glass units that are up to 40% lighter than traditional impact windows*, improving usability and ease of installation. Its reduced weight also provides meaningful advantages for replacement and remodeling projects, requiring less labor to upgrade homes, multifamily buildings, and commercial properties to impact-rated windows and doors without significantly increasing the weight of the overall glazing system.
With PGT WinGuard Vinyl products featuring Triton Advanced Impact glass, homeowners benefit from improved year-round energy performance, reduced outside noise for a more comfortable indoor environment, three times greater indoor scratch resistance, and exceptional clarity with virtually zero visual distortion.
