Glass Consult announces the North American arrival of IQ Glas®, the energy efficient heating glass window system that has been providing Europeans with unprecedented luxury for over seventeen years. With its singular ability to warm anything from a chilly sunroom to a drafty restaurant, IQ Glas® is a must for anyone who desires comfort and style all year round.

“We’re thrilled to be the first company to bring this technology to the United States,” says Glass Consult President Pierre Glorieux. “The IQ Glas® system has already transformed the way people heat their homes and chalets everywhere from Portugal to The Netherlands, and we look forward to providing the same kind of innovation here.”

Radiant heat brings the warmth of the sun indoors and allows the discriminating customer the luxury of living close to nature, any time of year. Traditional convection heating simply moves hot air around, taking dust and dirt with it. Heat rises to the upper reaches of a room while leaving the essential living area cold and drafty. But radiant heating is exceptional in its intelligence. Rather than disappearing to the far reaches of a room, radiant heat directly warms the people in the room, not just the air around them. Even the most hard-to-heat living spaces stay cozy and insulated in the coldest climates.

With IQ Glas®, sunrooms and conservatories that were all but abandoned during winter months can once again become an enjoyable part of your home. Rooms that house indoor pools remain free from drafts and condensation and allow for refreshing swims even as snow falls nearby.

The key to IQ Glas® windows is its unique double pane structure. The inner pane has a thin metal oxide coating that helps disperse heat equally, while the outer pane has a special coating that keeps heat inside while repelling cold air. Between the two panes, an inert gas enables the system to achieve exceptional levels of thermal insulation, even though the temperature of the windowpanes themselves never exceeds body temperature.

Traditional heating systems circulate dust and grime, but IQ Glas® reduces dust circulation to a minimum, ideal for anyone suffering from asthma or allergies. IQ Glas® can easily be combined with any type of anti-theft device or alarm, and can even be applied with built-in blinds between the panes. Another feature allows the glass to turn completely opaque with just the flip of a switch. And of course, all cables and wires are completely concealed in the window frames – never detracting from the beauty of your interior.

Whether you’re heating a ski chalet, office building, or restaurant veranda, IQ Glas® keeps your space warm and livable all year round.
