Re: GBlist: New glazing material
In a message dated 97-07-31 08:37:22 EDT, you write:
<< Two layers of clear polycarbonate sandwiching an airspace
filled with polystyrene pellets - does anyone know the green
benefits of this method of glazing? Also, I am looking for
an installation method that will allow the polycarbonate to
adjust to major temperature fluctuations (in Montreal,
Canada there are hot summers and cold winters).

I don't know how "green" it is, but you can't see through it! What is the
purpose again? Is this intended for a window? or for some strange, somewhat
structural insulation application? If so, you are getting the insulation
value of the polystyrene and that's about all. I am curious about the
application. Tell us more.
