At Atrium, our company philosophy is simple: to provide our customers with energy-efficient, maintenance-free products that help to lower their energy bills.

But we don’t stop there. Many of our windows have extended life cycles, which helps to keep them hard at work saving energy in America’s homes. From our environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes to our recycled content, our goal is to produce high-performance windows that meet or exceed current energy-efficiency standards.

The result? You get exactly what you need in a window—and so does the  environment.

With Atrium high-performance window technology,you can have a proven solution to resist the sun’s heat in summer—and welcome it in winter. How do we do it?

  • Our warm-edge glass sealant systems insulate the window frame and edge of glass up to 50 percent better than roll-formed metal spacers and up to 90 percent better than aluminum spacer bars.
  • Our low-E glass includes up to three layers of a thin silver coating that allows ample visible light to pass through, while blocking infrared and ultraviolet radiant solar energy. The result: Cooler rooms in summer and warmer rooms in winter.
  • Insulating gases, such as argon or krypton, fill our double- and triple-pane window products.

  • The majority of our vinyl is compounded and extruded in-house, which allows us to reduce our waste and control our recycling efforts. We recycle our vinyl scrap to maximize yield and minimize the impact on local landfills.
  • Our lead-free PVC vinyl is not petroleum-based, so its production requires no burning and generates no harmful gases.
  •  Reclaimed glass from external and internal sources makes up 24 to 28 percent of the raw materials used to produce our glass.
  • Extended life cycles for many of our windows help save energy in America’s homes.

Atrium manufactures windows and doors to meet or exceed energy requirements in all fifty states

No matter what challenge you’re facing, Atrium can help you:

  • Select the optimal product for your climate zone
  • Achieve the results you seek while pursuing credits toward LEED certification or the NAHB Residential Green Building Standard
