ODL’s Triple Glazed Doorglass Blinds provide energy savings and style and can qualify for a federal tax credit. The doors feature a 1-5/8-inch triple-pane assembly, with two insulated air spaces, for superior energy efficiency. With built-in blinds, these doors can significantly reduce solar heat transfer, lowering heat gain by up to 77%. For added energy efficiency, they use low-e glass and a thin metallic coating that reflects heat back to its source. The blinds provide a U-factor as low as 0.25, which is 28% better than the most demanding Energy Star requirement. These energy savings can contribute points towards certification under the National Green Building Standard. When included as part of remodeling projects, home owners installing ODL doors can claim a federal tax credit of up to $1,500. All ODL products are subjected to extensive weather-cycle testing and designed to meet or exceed rigorous standards — such as the 50,000 slam cycle — so their benefits continue long after the purchase. Available in several half-lite and full-lite door styles, doors with ODL Triple Glazed Doorglass Blinds are designed to fit any decor and need. Ideal for patio, side and back doors, they feature a Light Touch control — located on the frame — to easily raise, lower and tilt the blinds and regulate light and privacy. The blinds are located on the inside of the home for operational control and the internal muntin faces out for curb appeal. Since the blinds are fully enclosed, the need for dusting is eliminated. Also, triple-pane construction delivers a quiet sound transmission coefficient rating of 35. For more information or to locate an ODL dealer, visit www.odl.com.
