Meet the new Tyrol line from Alpen!
With two new styles, there is a Tyrol for everyone: traditional charm, sleek modern lines, or traditional looks with better thermal performance.
🪟 Tyrol Edge: Ultra-slim, modern aesthetic with max glass
🪟 Tyrol Contour: Traditional look with higher performance
Both offer European tilt-turn operation, bold color options (hello, Anthracite Gray 🖤), and a range of handle finishes to match your vibe.
Read all about it on the blog, (🖇️ link in bio) then let’s chat about which Tyrol is right for your build!

The ⚡ Global Energy Transition is a hot topic among clean energy experts and enthusiasts.
For those unfamiliar, it refers to the shift from 🦕 fossil fuels to ☀️ cleaner sources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and low-carbon tech like hydrogen and energy storage.
It’s a massive transformation touching nearly every part of the economy, and the world’s brightest minds are working to figure out the best way forward for people and the planet.
Some good news: The International Renewable Energy Agency released a report saying nearly 86% of new global electricity can now come from renewables.
🎉 That’s progress worth celebrating!

We will spend our holiday 🥾 exploring our beautiful mountains.
Anyone else out hiking this weekend?

🔥 U-values & ☀️ G-values: What are they and why do they matter when choosing your windows?
These are the ratings given to structures or products to measure how well they keep heat in (U-value) or how well they reflect solar radiation (G-value).
What do the U & G stand for? Nothing helpful. U represents a symbol in physics & engineering, and the G stands for "Gesamtenergiedurchlassgrad”… 😂 so no help there for non-German speakers! Some suggest G stands for "Gain" for Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.
Here is a quick breakdown of what you need to know about these values:
➡️ U-Value:
- The amount of heat that can escape (In the case of windows, the glass, frame, & sash)
- Triple-glazed windows typically have a U-values between 0.19 and 0.26, while single-glazed windows have U-values between 4.8 to 5.8 - lower is better
- AE supplies high-performance windows, meaning the u-value is generally between 0.10 and 0.20
⬅️ G-Value:
- The amount of solar energy that passes through a window into a building
- Rated between 0.0 (no solar radiation) to 1.0 (full radiation)
- Coatings on the glass will impact the reflection of solar radiation
Wondering what values are best for your project? Colder climates will require different values than hot climates, so it really depends on your location.
We can help you answer that question and many more! Send us a 📝 DM to start the conversation.

@AlpenHPP is supplying windows for the new 🐻 Wild Bear Nature Center in Nederland, Colorado.
They are building a high-elevation, net-positive facility set on 5 acres at the gateway to 3,000 acres of forest and trails. The new 8,500 ft² center is being built partially underground with super‑insulated walls, solar panels, and high-performance, bird-safe glazing, all designed to mesh with the environment and operate sustainably year-round.
Get an insider`s look at the progress on this great facility, (and apparently one of the tidiest projects Todd has seen in a long time! 😆)
