ZNC First Window to Meet PHIUS & PHI Certifications

Zola’s latest product line, the Zola No Compromise (ZNC) window, became the first window to receive both Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) and Passive House Institute Germany (Passivhaus Institut) certifications. Available with R-15 quad, or four-pane, glazing and coming standard in R-11 triple glazing, ZNC fixed windows can be as large as 8’ wide and 10’ high, and tilt & turn operable windows may measure as large as 5’ wide by 9’ high. This new window line was a pet project of Zola founder, Florian Speier.  Florian, who is also a passive house consultant and Swiss-trained architect, spent countless hours designing, redesigning, and refining the window to achieve an optimum balance between performance, price, and aesthetics. “The ZNC is the culmination of our experience with high-performance building in the past three years.  It’s the first frame that offers slim lines and a level of performance that matches to today’s high performance glazing at a reasonable cost. This is window is poised to become the high-performance industry standard.”
