ODL, Inc. has received DWM magazine's 2025 Bold Moves Sustainability Award for its collaboration with AeroShield Materials on breakthrough aerogel-insulated glass technology that delivers triple-pane performance in a lighter, slimmer dual-pane design.

ZEELAND, Mich., Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ODL, Inc., a leading manufacturer of entry doors and doorglass, announces that it has been recognized with the Bold Moves award in Door and Window Market (DWM) magazine's 2025 Sustainability Awards for its collaborative development of AeroShield insulating glass (IG) with aerogel technology. DWM's annual Sustainability Awards honor manufacturers, products, organizations, and individuals committed to driving innovation in sustainable building solutions.

Developed in collaboration with Waltham, MA-based AeroShield Materials, ODL's IG with aerogel made an early appearance at the 2025 International Builders Show and represents a breakthrough in energy-efficient glass technology. The technology enables double-pane windows and doors to achieve the performance of triple-pane units while remaining thinner and lighter thanks to an insulating layer of aerogel. For contractors, it means easier handling and installation, while homeowners can boost thermal efficiency by up to 65%, saving on annual heating and cooling costs.

"Earning a spot among the winners of DWM's 2025 Sustainability Awards is recognition of how ODL's partnership with AeroShield is redefining what's possible for the future of energy-efficient glass," said Derek Fielding, Vice President – Strategic Marketing & Business Development at ODL. "Integrating AeroShield's aerogel technology into ODL's insulating glass gives builders a breakthrough solution they can offer homeowners that combines thermal performance, slimmer profiles and enhanced clarity."

ODL and AeroShield's dual-pane IG replaces inert gas fillings with a 4-millimeter-thick layer of aerogel, one of the most advanced insulating materials on earth. This innovation delivers R-7.1 thermal performance, surpassing ENERGY STAR® requirements without adding weight or thickness. Delivering superior views, AeroShield's aerogel insulation is more transparent than glass while offering twice the insulating power of inert gases.

ODL's prototypes of aerogel-insulated patio and entry doors are currently undergoing testing, with commercial availability expected by the end of 2026.
