Top 5 Building Materials companies in Wisconsin
#1
Seed · Waukesha, Wisconsin · founded 2008 · 2 employees$7Mraised▾
Developer of vacuum-insulated glazing for energy-efficient windows. This technology significantly reduces heat loss through windows, resulting in improved energy efficiency for buildings. The glazing consists of two panes of glass separated by a vacuum, virtually eliminating conduction and convection heat loss. A low-e coating further reduces radiation heat loss. This approach offers a thinner, lighter, and more affordable alternative to existing high-performance window technologies. The resulting product is suitable for various applications, including residential and commercial buildings.
