Cool Customer Alert! We had so much fun working with Quantum Windows and Doors to create a foam core perfect for their specific needs. The Quantum Q-Core (patent pending), is a high density, lightweight foam core that offers an up to 23% increase in thermal performance. Wow! Quality core material for superior quality windows. Great work, Quantum Windows and Doors!

We are proud to announce a very exciting new product launch. Quantum Q-Core. With our patent-pending high-density foam core, we are able to reach incredible new heights when it comes to the thermal performance of our windows. Q-Core equipped window configurations can expect thermal performance to increase up to 23%.
