All of our windows and doors are made with Low-E ultimate performance dual-pane glass, enhancing thermal insulation, UV protection, and energy efficiency.
RAM uses all Low-E ultimate performance dual-pane glass from Cardinal, designed to optimize energy-efficiency. By integrating advanced Low-E (low emissivity) coatings on multiple panes of glass separated by insulating gas fills, our windows and doors significantly reduce heat transfer and UV radiation infiltration while maximizing visible light transmission. Beyond energy efficiency, Low-E ultimate performance dual-pane glass offers superior noise reduction and UV protection, providing homeowners with both environmental benefits and long-term cost savings.
Insulated glass options vary based on the specific needs of buildings and climates. Insulated clear glass, also known as double-pane glass, features two layers of glass separated by an air or gas-filled space, enhancing thermal insulation and reducing heat transfer. Low-E (low emissivity) coated glass adds a thin metallic oxide layer to control heat transfer and improve energy efficiency. These insulated glass options cater to energy efficiency in residential and commercial construction.
Low-E (low emissivity) coated glass is designed with a thin layer of metallic oxide applied to the glass surface. This coating helps to control heat transfer by reflecting infrared light while allowing visible light to pass through. Low-E coated glass creates more comfortable indoor environments and reduces energy costs associated with heating and cooling.

Insulated clear glass, also known as double-pane or thermal glass, revolutionizes energy efficiency by sandwiching two panes of glass with a sealed air space or inert gas between them. This design significantly reduces heat transfer through windows compared to single-pane alternatives.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTIONDifferent glass types serve specific purposes in enhancing safety, durability, and functionality in building design and construction. Annealed glass, the standard type cooled to relieve internal stresses, is typically used in residential windows. Tempered glass is heat-treated to enhance its strength and safety characteristics, suitable for doors. Laminated glass consists of layers bonded with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, offering safety benefits, sound insulation and UV protection, ideal for storefronts.
Annealed glass is the standard type of glass formed by cooling molten glass to relieve internal stresses. It breaks into large, sharp pieces, and is typically used in applications where safety concerns are minimal, such as residential windows and some decorative applications.

Tempered glass is heat-treated to enhance its strength and safety characteristics. It is approximately 4-5 times stronger than regular glass of the same thickness. When broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless fragments instead of sharp shards, making it ideal for areas requiring enhanced safety, such as doors, shower enclosures, and large windows.

Laminated glass consists of layers bonded with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, offering safety benefits by holding the glass together when broken, along with sound insulation and UV protection, making it ideal for applications needing enhanced safety, noise reduction, and UV resistance such as storefronts and skylights.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTIONPrivacy glass features patterns, textures, or frosted finishes that obscure visibility while allowing natural light to pass through, providing privacy without sacrificing brightness. This type of glass is ideal for bathrooms, entryways, and areas where privacy is desired. With a wide range of patterns and textures available, privacy glass can transform ordinary windows and doors into focal points of design. Privacy glass remains a popular choice among architects and builders seeking to elevate the style and functionality of modern spaces.
RAM uses SatenGlas® from SEVASA, a brand recognized as an industry leader in etched glass. Satin glass features a smooth, matte finish that diffuses light while maintaining privacy. This effect is achieved through acid etching or sandblasting one side of the glass, resulting in a translucent appearance that allows light to pass through while obscuring visibility.

Obscure glass is a type of glass that has been textured to distort visibility, making it difficult to see through clearly. This glass often features a rippled or bubbled effect that provides privacy while still allowing light to enter. It’s commonly used in bathrooms and rooms where privacy is needed without completely blocking light.
Available with the ARTISAN COLELCTION
Rain glass features a pattern that mimics the appearance of raindrops cascading down a window or door. This textured glass diffuses light while obscuring views from outside, making it ideal for areas where privacy is desired, such as bathrooms, showers, and entryways. Rain glass adds a touch of elegance to windows and doors, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTION
Reeded glass features parallel lines running vertically or diagonally across the glass, offering privacy while allowing light to filter through. It is often used in bathrooms, showers, and entryways, where privacy is desired. This type of glass adds a touch of sophistication to windows and doors, making it suitable for both residential and commercial properties.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTION
Glue chip glass is a textured, frosted glass created by applying and removing a special adhesive, resulting in a mottled, translucent pattern that resembles ice crystals or a natural frost. It's often used in decorative applications to provide privacy while allowing light to pass through, making it popular in both residential and commercial spaces.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTIONTinted glass offers both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits by incorporating a subtle tint that reduces glare and enhances privacy. Available in various shades, tinted glass helps regulate interior temperatures by blocking a portion of solar heat gain and UV rays. Additionally, tinted glass provides added security by obscuring views from the outside while maintaining natural light transmission, making it a versatile choice for residential and commercial applications.
Bronze tinted glass adds a warm, sophisticated hue to building exteriors while reducing glare and enhancing privacy indoors. It effectively blocks a portion of solar heat gain and UV rays, contributing to energy efficiency and comfort. Bronze tinted glass is commonly used in commercial and residential applications where both style and functionality are desired.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTION
Greylite tinted glass provides a sleek, charcoal hue, offering a contemporary appearance and functional benefits. It shields occupants from glare and harmful UV rays without compromising on visibility. Greylite tinted glass is commonly used in architectural designs seeking a modern aesthetic with enhanced comfort and energy efficiency.
Available with the ARTISAN COLLECTION
Solar grey tinted glass is designed to offer superior solar control and energy efficiency. It features a darker grey tint that reduces solar heat gain and blocks a significant portion of UV radiation. Solar grey tinted glass also provides glare reduction, and minimizes bright sunlight without compromising on natural light transmission.
