CertainTeed Corporation and 3M have joined forces to produce Prism Grid (TM), a new window application offering the look of custom beveled glass. Using 3M“s patented optical film technology, Prism Grid transforms the appearance of glass in a way that allows light to filter through, casting a rainbow of colors and creating the look of beveled glass at an affordable price. Homeowners can now design their own windows using Prism Grid, as the technology can be applied to any CertainTeed vinyl, replacement or new construction window or door. While beveled glass can be costly and difficult to keep clean, CertainTeed and 3M say that Prism Grid gives the same custom look, yet is lower in price and requires virtually no maintenance. It is also highly resistant to delamination and fading. The manufacturers say that almost any straight-lined pattern can be used. Popular patterns include Colonial, Valence, Diamond, Prairie, and Jewel. “With the Prism Grid feature, homeowners can afford the custom look of beveled glass that“s backed with the high quality standards both CertainTeed and 3M are known for,” says Maria McDonagh-Forde, marketing communications manager, CertainTeed Window Group. “Prism Grid is available on all CertainTeed windows and patio doors, allowing homeowners to further customize their homes.” Prism Grid is available across the USA on all CertainTeed windows and patio doors and is being produced at CertainTeed“s facilities in Corona, California; Auburn, Washington; Lebanon, Indiana; and Richmond, Virginia. CertainTeed is a leading US manufacturer of vinyl and fiber cement siding; vinyl and composite decking, railing and fencing; vinyl windows and patio doors; residential, commercial, and mechanical insulation; residential and commercial roofing; pipe and foundation systems.
