“All of a sudden you can show up with a window that comes as close to matching what’s possible from a wall, in terms of energy efficiency, and that gives a lot of degrees of design freedom.”
– Ronald Verkleeren, Senior VP, Corning Emerging Innovations Group –

For decades, architects have been forced to choose between Pinterest-worthy glass facades or energy bills that don’t bankrupt their clients – but Corning’s credit-card-thin Enlighten glass is about to crash that party. By stacking ultra-thin layers with inert gas gaps, this half-millimeter innovation achieves five times the energy efficiency of conventional windows while unleashing unprecedented design freedom, and with Andersen ramping up U.S. production this fall, the architectural compromise is officially dead.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Be strong. Lead well.
