Non-Invasive Insulating Glass Retrofits (IGRs)

INOVUES IGRs are overlay glazing panels installed on building facades and windows. They are attached to the existing facade/window infill panels, externally or internally, using a non-invasive patented attachment system. Once installed, IGRs create a tightly-sealed desiccated thermal cavity between the original and newly-added glass, enabling them to perform like factory-made insulating glass units (IGUs), unlike any other solution.

Breathable Secondary Window Retrofits (SWRs)

INOVUES SWRs are attached to the existing window frames or glazing from the interior using a non-invasive attachment mechanism. INOVUES SWRs feature a patent-pending breathable insulating system that can passively vent without letting in dust, eliminating any excessive heat build-up in the insulating cavity between the glass panes, which could cause thermal stress breakage or persistent fogging/condensation, unlike any other secondary window.
