The AGP System® with Commercial Low-E Double Glazing
Complete your window system with APL frames, New Zealand's leading window and door solution Explore
Description

The AGP System® with commercial glazing is a factory-assembled double-glazed unit that combines a warm-edge ATS-Architectural Thermal Spacer®, argon gas, and double-silver low-emissivity coatings to create an airtight, durable insulating glass unit (IGU).

The ATS improves seal integrity and argon retention; it also separates the panes to reduce the likelihood of interior-side condensation.

These products are not only selected based on quality and performance, but a commitment to ensuring New Zealand based manufacturing can provide the commercial glass solutions required to compete with fully imported supply chains. Please reach out to discuss these options in more detail and get a tailor made specification specific to your project.
