The three seal design conforms to the rain screen principle.

Double-glaze windows have two glass panes with argon gas for insulation. Triple-glaze windows add a third pane, offering superior insulation, higher cost, and are mostly used in colder climates.

 

Glazing Method

 

The glass is secured by a removable interior glass stop and double-sided closed-cell foam tape on the frame. The glazing cavity is edge-drained and vented to the exterior through concealed drainage and vent holes, ensuring proper water management. The glass stop acts as a rainscreen to prevent water infiltration.
