04 / Client Feedback
From the glazing contractor.
Not from marketing.
We've run their IGU specs through three independent thermal modeling packages. Every time, the actual U-values come in better than the certified numbers. That's not common.

The ceramic frit work on the Harmon tower was the most demanding spec I've written in 22 years. Temper held the color tolerance tighter than the specification required. Zero remakes.

Miami-Dade NOA approval for hurricane glazing is not something you rush. Temper had the documentation package ready before I finished reviewing the shop drawings. That kind of preparation is what keeps a job on schedule.
